Chuck24’s numbers 1 and 4 today. 😊

The term boomer brings to mind our nuclear submarines, which are among the most dangerous (maybe not the right word?) weapons ever created. Use powerful or capable, if dangerous offends. I am not so bold that I consider myself especially dangerous, but I rather like the boomer term. I wonder...

Bill, sorry to hear you’re not able to participate. I hope some day things get better and you can find a way to get back at it. Good luck, sir.

That’s too bad. I did not know him personally but certainly enjoyed what he wrote here. Another of our old forum standbys gone “to the land from which no one ever returns,” as George Washington is said to have referred to the transition.

Definitely Dennis’ number 1.

If you really do need more power, just use a bigger gun. I’ve never seen the logic of pressing one’s luck with hopped up ammunition that exceeds the widely accepted standards. And of course, if using the hopped up stuff you might miss the chance to buy another gun. No advantages I see. 😊 With...

Although at least four of the states you mention are in my opinion gun-reasonable, I wouldn’t take any chances with several of the others. Leave your guns at home. Or, better yet, just avoid travel in the anti-freedom states. They don’t deserve your discretionary dollars. You are welcome with...

The number 3s own it today, Chuck24’s and MM’s. 😂

Geez! When I opened this thread I did not expect to see it had gone to over one hundred posts! I have never understood the objections to .40SW. I have a 5-inch M&P that I really like, and a couple other .40s that I might say “are going nowhere.” I am not too keen on the .40 in a compact weapon...

14-3s probably could have been ordered with target stocks, but magnas were standard. At some point in the era of the 14-3s, S&W more or less stopped taking special orders and started just selling various accessories like target stocks over the counter at gun shops. I remember seeing guns for...

oldbrownhat, it’s a Starrett, or else it sure looks like one. Starrett made quite a few different versions or styles of vernier-reading micrometers. I did a lot of measuring in the 0-1” range and carried my own micrometer with me, rather than using whatever was lying around. That model was...

I have owned several Mark Vs for many years now and have never heard of this trigger issue, and certainly never experienced anything resembling what is described. Is this related only to the old Varmintmaster-size action or to all Mark Vs? Was this a temporary problem that was cured by a certain...

Agree. How much can it cost to keep the lousy medallions in the stocks? For what I paid for my .357… 🙄

Pete’s number 5 wins today.

Interesting theory.
