No thanks to the Republican and the Democrats. I'll take the Libertarian Ladies over them all.

Good enough Joe. I never meant to imply we should all run out and buy one.

But I do want to support and encourage them. Too many of our manufacturing companies have either gone overseas or disappeared altogether.

The key locks as found on Rugers, S&Ws, Taurus and other brands of guns are not safeties, they are function prevention devices . Joe I reject your reality and substitue my own :lol: While your assesment is correct, the reality is, they are called "safeties". Since they are called that...

Bob Baker can be trusted to speak honestly about his experiences. I have spent time with him and count him as a friend and I trust his word. olgerboy is correct also, but let me add, shoot enough and you will wear the gun out. Most of the time folks don't shoot enough to do that. A .22 sixgun will e...

Using a Firearm Safety Rules Know your target and what is beyond. Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which t...

Ruger has an internal safety on the their single actions. I am not sure about the DA guns .. haven't owned one. TC has an "automatic hammer block safety" I am NOT saying you have to LIKE the safeties. I am saying they are a fact of life Those of us who appreciate firearms need to support t...

JimT

now c'mon guys. You are not going to have any modern American-made guns without some sort of safety. Fact of life. Don't run them down. Support them. Unless you want all your guns to come from overseas. Besides .. that sort of thing just creates job opportunities for people like Nate Kiowa Jones. My...

I would like to try one out at least ....

JimT

I will have my 30-30 Trapper along and a couple handguns. I don't mind if someone wants to use any of my guns.

JimT

Sounds like the .22 did the job. The purpose in a self-defense shooting is not to kill anyone. The purpose of firing is to stop the attack. It did so with one shot.

JimT

As to making steel tougher or stronger, you can do simple case hardening in your fireplace. I took a 16 penny nail, wrapped it in leather, wrapped tinfoil around that and put it in an old tin band-aid can (like they used back in the day) Put it in the fire for an hour or so then got it out, unwrappe...

Bullard4075 No apology is needed. I took no offense at anything anyone has stated. I sure don't mind when folks disagree with me, especially when they are polite in their disagreement.

I have lived long enough to know that while sometimes I get close, I am rarely correct.

JimT

OK Jim... That makes sense, but if a Pastor writes in his "blog" that he won't vote for "evil", I would suspect many would take it in a religious context. I am sure you are correct. However, I have made many MUCH worse errors both in the pulpit and out of it and have survived. I...

Claybob has it correct in the sense that I used it. The phrase "vote for the lesser of two evils" is an old one and should literally be taken as "Both are undesireable but one is more undesireable than the other." I did not mean "evil" as it may be used in a religious c...

I firmly beleive that a person can maintain doing what is important to him/her if they will just cut out the nonsense spending and concentrate on what's important. YMMV. If folks figure out how much they are spending on non-essentials that ruin their health and that does not aid their shooting .. l...

JimT

Whether or not I vote, it will be my attempt to follow my conscience.

If the choice is between two evils, I will not vote for the "lesser" since I have no desire or inclination to knowingly vote for evil.

I have the Model 49 in .22 Magnum .. and also have the scabbard.

The gun is very accurate. If you show up at CSA in March you can shoot it to your heart's content.

Mine have not yet reached the age of accountability, therefore they cannot act on their own, contrary to some of the anti-gunners thinking.

I doubt it is a "design flaw". Mechanical things break from time to time. I think that is so we won't get the idea that this world is perfect.

JimT

Even the "inaccurate" Single Sixes shoot more accurately than the majority of the people holding them.

Now if all a person cares about is setting at a bench, shooting from a rest that's one thing. If you are looking for a working gun to use in the field, that's another.

Old Savage wrote:What caliber tends to do this?

I am not sure. The J frame guns are not milled out like the K frames. I have only seen it on K frames but that don't mean much, since I have not looked at a lot of S&W's to see if they have a problem.

JimT

A number of us on this Forum have S&W sixguns. A not-so-common problem can arise, especially on the K-frame guns. The "window" that the cylinder hand works in sometimes develops a crack. The crack usually starts on what is the lower right corner of the window as you look at the recoil...

I won't knock it outright; but for me, personally, it falls somewhere between surreal and silly. Silly is about the best way you can describe a shooting "sport" that has costume requirements. If it was purely shooting, I'd give it a chance, but when I'm required to dress up and have an al...

That's a biased statement. Provide the average wage of an American during that time period. It's not biased since we are talking abut the PURCHASING POWER of the dollar instead of wages. The worth of the dollar has eroded consistantly. You can check it out yourself. Just Google up "purchasing ...
