Oh, the “best” is not what I carry most of the time. Yep My favorite chambering for a handgun is .357 and I shoot 10 to 1 .38’s through them it seems —- but have carried a SIG 238 (sigs version of the Colt Mustang baby 1911 380) for years now. Or sometimes a Glock 26 but the baby Glock is considera...

While it's great to see a new levergun introduced, I don't see it going anywhere without being something really different. Especially for that money. There are a LOT of leverguns out there already. Many of us here on this forum are using examples way over a hundred years old. I'm no business man, b...

Glad you're ok. Never point, deliberately or not a firearm at anything you do not intend to destroy. That's what probably saved many an accident from being a tragedy. Best wishes....

Lol :lol: I was expecting the worst Like when I see a otherwise nice lever gun then look at the backside of a buttstock and someone has artistically carved a woodland scene into it Which is not bad if the price reflects it but typically these artists think that commands a $200 premium over what the ...

I have never had an accidental discharge other than into my underwear. BUT I have had a Negligent Discharge.

$3,500! No way is it worth anywhere near that. Agreed , but i think the $3500 model is just a "super duper special edition" -- from what i could see , the base model is $1275 still a chunk of change, but what isnt nowadays. OT , but you being a 10mm fan Steve, i was considering upgrading ...

Tubular upper reminds me of a Sten or something.

Can probably pick up a Tisas or something similar for 4-500 for a dedicated lower for something like that

Thank you gentlemen

As mentioned, I was nervous even mentioning this but thought —- I’ve been posting here for 15 years now and even met a handful of you guys’ ——-

It’s a sobering thought knowing that this is not a totally isolated incident and it’s happened to several of us also.

If I'm wrong, OK, but it sure sounds like those guns are being stored in the Pelican case. I think that's a mistake. Old No7 Not long term storage, but it was just glocks, sigs and Sig branded 1911’s. The finishes on those can probably survive a few years at the bottom of the sea. My blued and nick...

It's just the leverguns I have an issue with as they all have a small, narrow butt-pad with a hard, sharp edge that digs into my shoulder setting off the soreness. So, I broke down and got a Caldwell 'sissy' recoil pad for my shoulder when I shoot them. It softens the impact of the sharp edges of t...

I quite like mine (10/22’s that is) one is the T model (factory bull barrel with laminate stock target version, don’t know if the trigger than a base model or not) and a take down version. Both are good to go for shooting small things at 100 yards. Since neither one of these are base models, I don’t...
