I agree. The icing on the cake would be a 10 or 15 rnd. box magazine IMO.

I have 2 34–1’s and what a blast they are to shoot. S&W make a few different .22lr’s and how I enjoy shooting them all, along with my model 48.

Many moons ago, I worked at a pawnshop in Ohio. One day, we got a call from the Wyoming state police asking about the serial# of a 629. We had it, it had been pawned two weeks earlier. The Wyoming state cop said it had been stolen in Cheyenne, WY 12 years earlier.

All of this is why I don’t carry what I’d really like to (2.5” 686+ -4 w/ no lock) and instead, I usually carry a Glock 27. If, god forbid, I’d ever need to use it, I can live easier with the Glock being abused in the evidence room (provided I ever saw it again).

My own $.02… I have both a 27 and 35, both in .40 S&W …BUT… I also have match-grade 9mm conversion barrels for both of them. In fact, I carry them with the conversion barrels installed as SOP. No further tweaking necessary with the 27 but you DO need a 34 recoil spring in the 35 due to the extra...

Personally, I love ‘em all, pistols, PCC’s, rifles,… I also love the concept of having a carbine chambered in the same caliber as your handgun and I have combos of every common revolver and semiauto caliber except .22 WMR and .45 Colt. The carbines give you better accuracy out to longer...

One of the sagest wisdoms that I’ve ever received was imparted to me by an 80-or-so-year old man at 9AM in a pub in Birmingham, England… “A woman marries a man, thinking he’ll change. A man marries a woman, thinking she won’t.”

Sounds like you might be talking about Gibson guitars when they were SWAT raided (jeez) for having received some wood that wasn’t from already-fallen logs. The species of tree was on a list called CITES that contains species considered to be endangered. I have a German drumkit from the 80’s that...

Howdy from Cbus.

OP’s looks like a Teisco-made specimen to my less-than-educated eye. Kinda Silvertone-ish. Those old Del Reys have a cult following.

My face is pinching in pain as I type this… A 6” 29 Classic from the 80’s with blue cardboard box and all the case candy. Target trigger, etc, unfired. Had a nasty issue show up with my car and had to sell her to bankroll the fix. This was back around 2000. Lord, how I’d love to get ‘er back...

I’m gonna say -4 coz that’s what my DX is and after all, it IS all about ME.:-D

In 2019, I bought a Gretsch guitar online from a reputable seller. Paid for it through the usual channels, no sweat. Got a tracking number from USPS, good…good…, Starting two days later, that same tracking # said, “delivery to be determined”. A MONTH goes by! After a week, I got an email from...

Does anybody else remember the old “Beefsteak” sandwich that McD’s had back in the early 80’s? Actually, I quite liked it (which usually means something’s gonna tank).

5 years at the Reynoldsburg, OH store. 2001-2006. A lot of the other employees there were my second family. A couple of us still hang out about once a month. I still miss a lot of the others.
