i'm in a good spot this year, I've gotten most of my boxes checked off, now i'm looking for targets of opportunity.

Congrats to the OP, Nice to see the old gals trading hands, meeting new people, making new friends. I have spent the last few years waiting for a decent 29-2 to show up at a fair price and watched them go up and up in price...$1000, $1500, $2k, now I see the 29-2's going for over $3k sometimes...

Very nice, I had a 17-2 but I let it go when this 1951 K22 came along.

I just bought my first DW revolver, a 15-2V6, and initial impressions are good, fit and finish are good, seems well made and robust. DA trigger has some stacking and will take some getting used to after a lifetime of S&W's.

I have heard that social media can lead to more social interaction. I don't maintain a Facebook account and limit my online gun content to gun forums only. It sounds like you Facebook users are meeting lots of new friends.

I don't see the allure. I prefer the HB look and extra weight out front. An ounce of weight saving isn't a big deal on a 40oz+ gun anyways, so I've never been interested in paying the premium.

5 screw pre 29, And a K22 Those are the two I would get rid of last

I like Unique, it's been my go-to handgun powder since I started reloading and you could buy lbs at the local Walmart for $25. I don't like it enough that I'd pay a premium for it though. It's very versatile but those big flakes meter like garbage. If I had to sell my remaining 10lbs, I'd put a...

Yea. People are people and you live around a lot of them in an area that promotes such behavior, directly or indirectly. You might want to invest in a privacy fence

Toasted Ciabatta roll, Capicola Fresh mozzarella burrata Peperoni sott'acetto Basil Drizzled with olive oil A take on the Tony Soprano sandwich and it's very good

You'll see a lot of this in the future. Gig economy, side hustles, flippers. Some people see entitlement. I see someone who hasn't gotten their approach down, but I respect the desire to hustle and put in the work. The economy is tough right now. Can't fault people for getting their nose to the...

Had a 627 pro, sold it and bought a 627-0

Defect. There is not enough energy in the recoil spring to cause that much distortion, and if it could it would cause significant setback

I bought a pawnshop PPK that turned out to be a WW2 SS-issued gun. Didn't bother me, I even shot it a few times before I sold it. I am pretty sure I lost at least some relatives to the Nazi occupation in WW2. History is history. I also have a WW2 1911a1 that was in the European theater. I did...

If its just some edge wear then that's a bargain.
