Re: Those with Model 92 in .357 -- preferred barrel length?

20 inch Rossi 92 is great for me. The wife has a 16 inch Trapper Model 94. The shorter barrel is easier for her to manage. Both are .357’s. I would like to find a Model 92 Trapper.

Re: Who is shooting a surplus rifle?

M1 Garand, CMP .308 version. Also had a Venezuelan FN Mauser 24/30 in 7 X 57. It is the short barrel cavalry carbine and will shoot 1 inch groups all day at 100 yds. My son got it away from me and uses it for a pig gun.

Re: Model 39 S&W

I have never found a pistol that fits my hand better. It is like the 39-2 was custom made for me. They were allegedly jam prone, but mine has thousands of rounds of every description through it with no malfunctions at all. I would love to find a 639 or 3906, but they are scarce here in California. I...

Re: How many of you guys carry revolvers for EDC?

I ALWAYS carry a Smith Model 642 with +P 158 gr. LHP and five reloads. I either pocket carry or use a strong side IWB holster. Yes, you should check a concealed carry piece often to get rid of the lint.

Re: Advantage arms .22 conversion kit for glocks

I have had two of them. The first one was given to one of my sons and I bought another one rather than another .22 pistol. Works great on my ancient Gen 2 Model 17. It functions pretty well with Remington Golden Bullets, Vipers, and even Thunderbolt, though the directions say not to use it. Leading ...

Re: One rifle, one pistol

Remington Marine Magnum 870, (12 gauge 18" barrel) Rifle sights would be nice. 5 1/2 inch stainless Single Six with both cylinders. Problem is, no matter what you'd choose, it would be wrong. Oh, well. I once wrote a story about a guy that got caught up in the collapse of civilization as he was...

Re: Eclipse craziness

Humbug! You've seen one solar eclipse, you've seen 'em all. National Geographic has some nice pictures. Seriously, folks, avoid crowds associated with this eclipse--it will be a zoo at best.

Re: OT: Gonna learn to sew ... on a machine

Watch it...Singers are as addictive as Colts.
We have 7 Model 221 Featherweights, 2 Model 301's, a 66, a 99, three 501's...
Older Singers are great works of American industrial art and will pretty much work forever unless abused.
Enjoy!
