I went Friday night. I've gone to lot of them for many years. This was the worst I have attended. Many tables were empty. At 7:00 several vendors were covering their tables up. Maybe it was because of the holidays. I was disappointed.
They remind me of the first Ford tractor (Fordson) in the early part of the last century - gray and ugly, but they outperformed everything else for several years. I've owned several Glocks and will continue to, but they are hard to cozy up to like a Browning Hi-Power or old S&W revolver.
I enjoy shooting my old Ruger MK I bull barrel with MK II magazines and my old 6" S&W .38 Special revolver (wadcutter reloads) for two reasons. I'm the most accurate with these two guns and they are the cheapest to shoot. Probably not a coincidence.
I own both. Hate the LCP's trigger. I carry the Kel-Tec. Neither one will hit the side of a barn. At the Indy 1500 last year, I overhead a guy telling his buddy that the Kel-Tec was a copy of the Ruger!! I wanted to straighten him out, but have learned the hard way to stay out of other...
I aways buy used Smith revolvers. However, that practice can bite you. I bought a used 36 to carry on the farm. It shot two feet off at twenty-five yards. So, I traded it for a Smith 49. It shot two feet off. So, I traded it for a stainless Charter Arms Undercover which shot dead on. I...
It's the Govrnment way. Somebody buys a $300 hammer. That's bad, but does not bankrupt the country. But the Government does not want it to happen, so it spends tens of million dollars on a program to prevent it. I know. It spent part of the money on me.
Someone lost or stole a magazine...
I agree with Dave above. I've shot many thousands of bulk .22's over the past few years. Remington is by far the worst. I've had as many as 15 duds per carton. And yes, it was the ammo. I've always considered myself a "Remington Man" but their bulk ammo sucks.
Roger that. The cylinders do not have any numbers. However, both cylinders have what looks like a "5" or "S" stamped on the end. They both seem to fit the gun well and function properly. I put about 30 rounds downrange with it.
I've got mine next to the garage. What bothers me is the proximity to my chisels, drills, crow bars, saws-all, torches, two wheel carts, sledgehammers, etc, etc.
Yesterday, I purchased a Ruger Blackhawk .45 with two cylinders. It was advertised as "as new" in the box. It certainly looks new. A serial number check indicates it was made in 1986. From the exterior view, I can not find any differences in the cylinders. They appear identical. What would...
Way back when, think Jimmy Carter as President, we thought the end was coming. Anyway, the magazine racks were full of survival type magazines. A common theme was how much ammo to have. The general concensus was that you would be dead before you expended a 1000 rounds. So depending on if...
I had the first 10.5'' Super Blackhawk in our part of Southern Indiana. At that time (mabye still do?), Ruger used the same front sight on it as they used on the 7.5 inch barrel. That resulted in too much "air gap" when sighting it. I went back to the 7.5. This was before red dots and I...
