    What makes a modern pistol “better”?

    LOL I'm 71 my 30-45 year old guns still work fine..... my Dad's guns from the 1930s-50s still work fine. Dad was a police officer for 39 years and on the Dept Pistol team; I've shot PPC, USPSA and IDPA so a lot of rounds down range. Gun companies have to sell product to stay in business, most...

    Guns and Protests

    FWIW the woman was stupid......................... Is it legal to open carry in that state? She did not draw or brandish the weapon. She appears to touch the gun but did not appear to have a "draw grip" Assuming this took place on "public property" That said, putting on a yellow vest that...

    Making a leather holster slightly larger, UPDATED

    Advice I received over the years from a couple holster makers.............. Wrap it in "Plastic food wrap" 2-4 layers force it into the holster [w/o the water]....... leave it sit for 3/4 days. Still too tight... add a couple more layers..... and so on and so on. soaking with water works...

    The Best .22 Ever Made

    Never had one, wanted one as a kid, but hard to beat a Ruger 10/22 semi....... especially one with a full Mannlicher stock and a little 1-4x20 scope. 3.5lbs in carbon fiber stock to around 4.4lbs

    3" Model 60-10 for "carrying" in case the SHTF; not for plinking or target shooting. Or a 3" 66-4.

    The idea of rimfire savings is irrational exuberance

    With the S&W 15/22 I have the 25rd mags but for the range I use the 10rd mags....... rarely do mag dumps....... mostly double taps.

    Pros and cons of an AR-22 rifle

    S&W 15/22 controls mimic the AR platform...... great for training cheap! 10/25rd mags, add a sling and a red dot or small scope. Boys loved it and are now familiar with the AR rifle.

    Watches and guns

    Been wearing a Seiko automatic dive watch since about 1989 [on my third] all have been within "2ish" minutes a month! Set the current one, one minute fast the first of the month so I'm always within one minute all month long!

    Pistol Caliber Carbines

    Mule Packer's post reminded me I've also got a Winchester Trapper and Ruger 77/357 ... both in .357 magnum. The Ruger is my "utility" rifle for Penn's Woods, with a 1-3 shotgun scope and paracord sling. Light, handy and not tacticool looking It pairs nicely with a 3" 60'10 or 3" 66.

    Classic Sigs New to Me

    West German 220, "Ernest Langdon" 220 w/ stainless steel slide and frame , and a brace of 245s; one with a Nickeled slide. The German 220 will shoot "cloverleafs" at 50 feet! 245s shoot like they think they're 220! All great guns.......All four have wood grips, the 220's are factory, the 245s...
