I was forced into a medical retirement. Line of duty. Traumatic closed head injury. Stroked out. I was most affected on my left side. CVA on right side. Vision problems, partial paralysis and loss of balance. Physical terrorists worked me over. I can walk, not perfect but, I get from...

LOL! El Tejon, I used to have a Matchbox collection and dioramas myself. I worked traffic safety and was a EVOC instructor trainer.

The Ruger Old Army was similar to the Remington Beals revolver. IIRC, the ROA has a box just for them at www.dixiegunworks.com

WHOA! CAS has changed prices on those suicide specials. I recently saw a F&W 32 S&W for $400.00. The last shooter F&W I saw was in poor condition. The price was still $200.00. CAS shooters are snatching up pocket pistols. The prices are going up as supplies dwindle down. I also would...

Traditions has a POOR QC reputation. Piettas are made of soft internals. They work fine for BP. If you convert them to cartridges with R&D cylinders, they don't hold up long. I have heard more negatives than positives about Cabelas, Traditions and Piettas. The Ruger Old Army is a solid...

The 2 most expensive POJ I ever bought NIB were Springfields. I will not buy or suggest them to anyone. Colts and Rock Islands are pretty good packages. I had better luck with Llama than I did Springfield. SA customer service is fair but, their warranty is bogus. They returned one pistol...

What if? Could the original barrel have been REPLACED? I have seen vintage DA Army 38s (Long Colt) in black powder form with Police Positive replacement barrels. The barrels have usually been marked Colt Police Positive 38. These are from 30s era 38 New Police/38 S&W short revolvers. I urge...

A friend/neighbour had an interesting contact with the PD. His MILs house had sold and he was cleaning out the outbuilding. He found a stash of stolen streetsigns and packaged marijuana!! (I don't know the amount) He called the PD (non-911) to report the streetsigns and drug discovery. When...

IGNORE the razor blade idea. You will regret following that advice. VERY bad idea. There is really no way to secure a cheap stamped aluminum license plate to your vehicle. One possibility is checking into a set of tamper resistant square drive RV screws. They require a square screwdriver...

Not that uncommon these days. IIRC, S&B has been contracting WWB. I have heard and seen that before with WWB. I suggest you have that Colt magnafluxed. That barrel could have crystalline cracking. I definitely would have a qualified Colt gunsmith check it over. You may now own a wallhanger.

I can only say, I told you so. I was seeing the poor QC and bad parts, drilled off center frames and critical parts breakage two years ago. Remember my Springfield rants? I will not buy or suggest them to be bought. I support you Tuner. I have seen the same things.

I would like to say what is wrong and tell you an easy fix. I can't. This seems to be a S&W hallmark of late. I have heard many complaints about their adjustable sights lately. The S&W folks do warranty their revolvers. Call and ship it off to them. They are good about fixing their...

I had some too. They smelled like a kitty litter box. I wondered where the methhead was. I had some unburned powder residue also. I could invert the pistol and shake loose powder onto the bench. ?????

The pink pistols do have some rather in your face stuff. The question is to provoke thought. We were thinking also about ordering THR stuff. I could see a THR member being arrested by an anti prosecutor for wearing THR logo clothing after a self defense shooting. I have been called actually...

50-50 chance on those Ciener 22 conversions working. I think they are a RIPOFF! I am holding out to see about the Marvel 22 conversions. Ciener is arrogant, unresponsive and seems to just not care. I would not buy anything from them. Ciener has RIPPEDOFF too many people that I know. The...

I was out eating with some friends. We were talking and clothing choices came up. My friends know I CCW. Some of them CCW. We were discussing statement clothing. I was wearing a southern heritage confederate flag t-shirt. One friend was wearing a american pride flag t-shirt and there were...

99% of the first impression I had as a homicide investigator were proven. If the SO investigator pronounced it as a good self defense shoot, I trust his judgement. The problem I see is the prosecutor calling the SO investigators judgement as premature and bending to BS political pressure. Get...

Several years ago there was a bunch of B&Es of businesses in my area. Some business owners decided to sleep in their stores. One night a burglar broke in and was shot by the store owner. The store owner was indicted. Castle doctrine did not apply. The BGs survivors sued the store owner also...

This proves that AZ is becoming a liberal stronghold. Sickening.:barf:

Ok, I'll play. Remington 870. That is a cool shotgun. Taurus 62 gallery pump 22 for a useful rifle. A Ruger SP-101 in 32 H&R for a wheelgun. A EAA Biathlon Olympic or Ruger USA Shooting Team MKII in 22 for a target semi-auto. A major calber semi-auto to consider might be the NRM Colt in 45...
