    Springfield SA-35 Quality?

    I purchased a new one yesterday at my LGS for $649.99+tx and it's in the little over 10,000 serial number range......hopefully the earlier extraction problems that so many were having with the early guns has been resolved by now. This is my first firearm chambered in 9mm and yesterday the...

    Your SA-35 Experiences?

    I have a few 45 ACP 5" 1911's and revolvers in .38, .357 and .44 mag. but until today I owned nothing chambered in 9mm.....I picked up a new SA-35 for $649.99+ tax at a LGS. I've read that the earlier guns start to have extraction problems at around 500+ rounds but then I've read posts where...

    Time for a new 1911

    OP I've got three 5" stainless 45ACP 1911's that I rotate taking to the range fairly regular and run 100 rounds of my 230gr. jacketed ball ammo through shooting at the 25 yd. steel plates.....SA Mil-Spec, S & W 'E' Series and a Ruger SR1911. All three have proven to be dependable and I can't...

    T/C Pistol ??????

    I competed in IHMSA for over twenty five years and had several barrels and frames in both the Contender and Encores and well as three center grip Remington XP-100's. Getting long in the tooth I started thinning the herd a few years ago and sold all of my Contenders, Encores and XP-100's except...

    Browning Auto 5

    In a few weeks I'll be 72 and I purchased my 2 3/4" 12 ga. Humpback brand new 43 years ago (1978) and I've never had a bit of trouble out of it and I've taken a lot of game with it.....I've been using it again this year on several duck hunting trips. I can't see me ever shouldering anything but...

    scope on 22 rim fire rifle?

    I had a Sightron SI 3x9x32 on my CZ 452 that I liked well enough to order another one and mount it on my newly acquired unfired Marlin 60W a couple of weeks ago.......looks like Graf's still have one left in stock. https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/73764

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Received 3000 230 gr. FMJRN (jacketed not plated) Zero brand bullets to feed my 45 ACP 1911's yesterday......added to the bullets I've got left and the several hundred rounds I've got loaded I should be good to go for awhile.

    I think another 1911 series .45 is in my future

    I've got four 5" stainless 1911's in 45 ACP and I just added a 5" blue in 9mm a couple of weeks ago (my first ever time owning anything chambered in 9mm) and all are well under $1200.00 and have windage only sight adjustment. I shoot my 230 gr. FMJ ball loads in the 45 ACP's and I ordered bulk...

    The concept of a "field pistol"?

    Not a auto but to me a 'field pistol' is a sidearm that I carry when out in the woods and in my case that has always been my stainless 5.5" Ruger Redhawk in .44 Mag loaded with my 180 gr. XTP's over a near max charge of powder. Now granted it isn't the lightest gun to lug around but at 6'5" and...

    Which Polymer 45 ACP are you enjoying for target shooting

    I'll be 70 on my next birthday and I swore that I'd never own a plastic gun but that changed a few weeks back. On a local forum a fella had a full size 45 ACP Glock 21 Gen 4 for sale for a good price with all the accessories that he swore had only been fired 68 times, he also had $90.00 worth...

    Which 44 mag?

    My one and only ever owned .44 Magnum is a stainless 5.5" Redhawk that I purchased new back in 1986.....I don't have any plans to sell or trade it off. I haven't put THOUSANDS of rounds through it but it's flung a bunch of lead down range as well as in the field......it loves 180 gr JHP's with...

    Hodgdon CFE Pistol

    My only experience so far with CFE Pistol was about three years ago when reloading supplies were tight and I purchased a pound then just for the heck of it I thought I'd try it with some 180 gr. Hornady XTP's in my 5.5" barrel stainless .44 Mag. Ruger Redhawk. Using a 8.275" test barrel and 180...

    K31, 7.5x55 Swiss Reloading

    The accuracy of the K31's never ceases to amaze me. Using a St. Marie bolt on / no drill mount and a older El Paso 4X Weaver scope my best 5 round 100 yd. group off bags is .678. Here's my load if interested; Frontier / Hornady brass....CCI BR-2 primers....Sierra Gameking #2140 165 gr...

    Who's a fan of single shot pistols in rifle calibers?

    I've thinned the herd on several of my scoped pistol length (14"-15") Encore and Contender barrels (and frames) and three XP-100's in the past few years but kept what I felt that I couldn't live without for now. In the Encore I kept two blue frames and three 15" scoped barrels in 6.5x55...

    Have you ever downsized your deer rifle choice?

    Many moons ago I started deer hunting with a lever 30-30 and did well then I went to a bolt 30-06 and hunted with it for a few years and I also did well with it but I got tired of the recoil and I sent it down the road. After selling the 30-06 I bought a bolt 7mm-08 and that is the caliber that...

    Trying to help my brother sell or give away his collection

    I'm 67 with no heirs that are interested in guns and I started thinning the herd down from around 40 guns to about the 13 that I have left a couple of years ago......the 30 or so that I've parted with so far (four were 'gifted' and the rest sold) were my more expensive / somewhat collectable...

    Well what did y'all get for gifts this year?

    I bought eight new tires and two frontend alignments for mama's car and my pickup last week.....that's about all the Xmas my wallet could handle. :)

    Most regretted gun purchase?

    I was told before I bought one that they shot patterns not groups but I didn't listen and bought one anyway......they were right, I was wrong, it's long gone.
