My 1911 has never been to a smith and works just fine, thank you. :roll: Neither have the 2 that I own. But, they are milspec and I only shoot FMJ and Winchester Ranger 230grn Hps thru them. perhaps when you ask the 1911 to do more than it was designed to do, is when problems arise with it. I got l...

Love those 66 and 73 .22 repros.

Besides the stellar conduct and knowledge of the folks here, no one ever mentions Glocks. Now don't get me wrong, I own a couple. But there are some forums where you'd think the only handgun ever made was a Glock. And heaven forbid you mention a single action revolver, much less for defense. Of cou...

The Colt 1911's are great guns. I own 2 of them and don't plan on letting them go. Glocks are an improvement in defensive handguns over the 1911, same as the 1911 was an improvement over the Colt 1873. No bashing, it's evolution.

tman

And you don't have to replace springs, do any tuning and just use the stock magazines. Not bad for a $450.oo handgun.

tman

What's a glock? +1 +2. I have 6 1911s, and 1 Combat Commander. Each tuned to reliably feed my ammo choices; with better than merely good, quality magazines. 99% of all 1911 feed issues are magazines and bullet shape. The others are recoil springs or other "enhancements" that are ill-consi...

Always puzzled me why Hollywood never had a blockbuster hit with a movie based on Christ's Birth or Death? Ben Hur. Blockbuster, by any definition of the term. Following a $14.7 million marketing effort, Ben-Hur premiered at Loew's State Theatre in New York City on November 18, 1959. It was the fas...

I really enjoyed the Hog Hunt thread. It's something I'd really like to do someday. So, if you were going on the next hunt, and expected to run into one of those 300-500 pound monsters, what do you currently own that you would take with you? I'd have to say my Marlin .444 with some Hornady 265gr, o...

Always great to get a field report on the .356WCF.

Thanks for your concern tman :lol: , I know it's a burden, but I think I'm man enough to handle the extra half pound of weight and the extra 1& 3/4" of length. :wink: cshold Guy that handled the transfer says he has some Savage made ammo he would dig out for me.. Here's hoping that it's no...

The best is the enemy of the good enough. Exactly how much does one NEED. In my old age I have been removing the scopes and replacing them with peeps. Can I shoot as accurately with peeps? No but as long as I use good judgment as to what is "In Range". they meet my needs. They are handier...

The load tube works on Spencer's and Henry's. Doesn't look right on the others. Henry could make a Saddle Ring carbine 1894 Winchesters in various calibers at an affordable price. Bet they'd sell.

Very informative thread.

I'd like to see a consumer test series with the scope models you mentioned. To me a weaver or redfield is about what I can afford. But, those scopes work well for me.

I wonder if in 20 years that there will be a fire arm manufactured in the USA?

I have both a .356 and a .358 and load for both of them. The .356 is, of course, a levergun, and the .358 is a bolt-gun, a re-barreled Savage Model 10. So far I've only loaded 200gr, 220gr for the .356, and 220gr and 250gr for the .358. There seems to be a drought on some .358 bullets, so all I've ...

The .356, 358, and 338 are all excellent short action, short barrel rounds. My experience is with the .356, the most useful round to be chambered in the Winchester 1894. I like it so much, that, if the ammo wasn't obsolete, it would be my only big game hunting round. The other 2 use pointed bullets ...

Wow. Talk about a wild card.

That make it very, very difficult for the other side to scramble to get material to use against that candidate in the final debate process.

Thanks, Blaine.

Wonder if it would work on my Winchester 95 SRC ? It has a ladder sight with 2 screws holding down.

I assume it was the obvious, they offered them more money than they could turn down. Why they bought them is another question. I'm still not ruling out my "corporate killer" theory, buying all these gun companies to run them into the ground. That may sound silly to some, but they sure see...

I don't see the .327 or .41 being big sellers. The .357 and .44 magnums make them pointless, especially if you are a handloader.

Wish they still made them. Looking on Gun Broker, quite a bit out of my price range, especially for a fun gun.

I believe the only other widespread version is the Gary Reader/Paco version. I have three. The 170-grain bullet at 2.350 fops is a significant Improvement. You can beat this easily but there is no need. The advantagecof the .308 Marlin is the availability of superior factory ammunition and at least...

Now here I am with a .380 LCP for myself and a .22 Magnum LCR for my wife. I do not think I would have enjoyed the colonel's approbation. Not so much the 22 WMR, but the 380 ACP has supposedly improved quite a bit with newer ammunition not available when he issued his condemnation of the cartridge....

Bottom line and somewhat in agreement . Each and every individual will have different circumstances concerning CCW. If yours is that you can get away with a double stacked .45 acp, FANTASTIC. Some will only get away with a single stacked Minnie 9, while a .25,.22 mouse gun will be the biggest they c...

The minor calibers do kill a lot of folks.... just not fast enough in many cases to take the fight out of someone quick enough. Yada yada yada... no one in their right mind is going to stand around to get shot with a .25 or .380. And no doubt that they have "worked" many times over the ye...

True a 45 or 10mm is an excellent defensive arm for the uniformed LEO and combat infantry man.
