    H&R Sportsman 999 found at LGS

    Classic "poor man's" kit gun! Really popular in the 40's and 50's. Never had one but shot a few! NICE!!

    new to me Randall-what model?

    I have a Model 23 and it is not that; also, a Yukon Skinner and it's not that either. I go with Alaskan Skinner! Mule Packer knows his Randalls. Either way, a wonderful knife. I've done a couple of elk and numerous wild pigs and deer with my #23 and my #8 Bird and Trout!

    Your “COOLEST” gun?

    My 1901 Colt Bisley in 41 LC. Letters to Mexico City and engraved after-the-fact in a Native American motiff. Ivory grips, carved and ruby eyes.

    3 Decent 380 cal.

    Have had several .32 and .380. I liked the Colt Pocket the best. Wife had a Bersa Thunder and it was surprisingly well-made. For the cost, we got a .22 for practice and a .380 for her to carry. I also liked the H & K H4 (mine was .32) and the Walther PP (also in .32). As an aside, we ended...

    Understandable, if not to be expected!

    The Yellowstone effect

    Never watched the show (I once met Costner and he's an a--). Just gave my last lever action to my daughter and SIL (an 1892 short rifle take-down in 38-40), along with a custom Vaquero converted to 38-40. Both case-hardened and engraved.

    9mm 124gr or 147 gr

    I once had a conversation with Massood about FTF in small Glocks (G43) and he advised me that lighter bullets may cycle the slide too fast, causing stove-piping. He recommended using 147s in the lighter pistols.

    ".357mag for deer" ammo

    Don't say what kind of deer= a HUGE difference between a Montana or Wyoming mulie and a Coues deer in AZ or a coastal blacktail. For mulies (what I've hunted), I'd use the Underwood!

    pocket holster for snubnose J-frame

    When the wife and I carried revolvers (a variety of S & W's as well as a Colt DS), we swore by the Mika's after trying several (numerous?) others.

    Anybody here like Randall Mades?

    I'm getting up in years, so I'm taking a few bequeaths on vacation. Nephew gets my #1 and my brother gets the gamemaster. Rather they go to someone in the family rather than get sold after I'm gone!

    Model 27 or Model 19 ?

    Had a slew of .357 revolvers of all kinds, including several S & W. My favorite was always a 4" Model 28 with magnas.
