Just picked this up from my LGS. Found it in Texas while out for my best friends wedding. Nickel '56 vintage, I believe, 3 1/2" pre 27 357 Magnum. It needs some care, but looks like it has some stories to tell. Jim

Stopped in at a local pawn shop, there she sat unwanted in the case. Had to take her home. 93XXX serial number. My first J frame. Jim

Just brought her home from my FFL. This will be the third one that I have owned. This one is 041,one of the others was 046...can't remember the number of the last one. For as uncommon as these are, I seem to keep running across them. I'm a happy man tonight. Jim

Trade pending. Jim Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 S&W M&P45 Fullsize Appx 500 rounds thru it. Come with 2 magazines, 3 interchangeable back straps, factory case with all paperwork. Looking to trade for a S&W Shield or compact or subcompact Glocks or M&Ps. Possibly open to other...

My Terminator is showing some wear. Heck, it is a blued gun closing in on 30 years of age... and has been a carry piece most of its life. I want to send it off and get it refinished so that I have no wear or corrosion issues. If they can give it a once over and make sure it is in tip top...

Is it possible to just buy the non serial numbered compact frame? I REALLY want to build a Colt CCO style M&P out of my full size. Jim

Picked it up today, and have been carrying it around on my hip. First off, OWB... it actually seems to carry easier than a full size 1911. It is a little bulkier, but with the weight in the slide and ammo... it feels light. As to weight, loaded... it is similar to my Combat Master I was actually...

She got me a second Detonics Combat Master. Same gun shop as the last one. It was just sitting there looking SO out of place in the sea of polymer, parkerized, and blued steel. The Idiot mark of Epic proportions... It will be home with me within a month. I told a friend about it, and he is...

In this area of Pa where we moved to, power outages are fairly common. When Hurricane Irene came thru, we were without power for around a week. Last week we got 15" of snow, and most of the towns lost power... luckily we were out for only about 30 minutes. We decided that we needed a source of...

First... Caryn, my wife, buys my Delta Elite for me ... it has been my carry pistol whenever I can get away with a full size. A P-11 has been my small concealment piece. Last week we stopped by a gun shop that a guy on another forum suggested to me. There in the case, just as he PMed me, was a...

NY motorcyclist dies on ride protesting helmet law - Yahoo! News Stay safe out there. Jim

2005 F-250 supercab 4x4. V10 6 speed XL model, 90,000 miles. Thing actually rode and drove very nice for a heavy duty truck. Not sure if I am going to get the company truck I was supposed to get when I moved up here. If I dont, then I need a beefy work truck... and this one just may fit the job...

I am off work this week, Caryn and I have been making packing and making our arrangements for our move to Pa sunday. We decided to go for a drive. Went past a small local gun shop and just popped in to look around. They had a Taurus TCP there that I looked over. Just from handling it, it seemed...

Yesterday Caryn, her son, and I took both Sterlings and my Delta Elite to the range. Short day, only brought 350 rounds with us. First off, the Sterlings are GREAT plinkers. 34 round mags, fairly cheap 9mm ammo, and a gun you could put the butt against your nose and fire. Yes, almost no recoil...

While picking up the wife's Marlin 1895 SBL at the gun shop a couple of towns away, I went wandering down the glass cases seeing what kinds of goodies they had. I got to the turntable case at the very and was browsing there. Turned it around and what to my surprise did I find but a Beautiful...

I stopped in at a small gun shop today and was surprised to see a .357 pinto. It had different numbers on the crane/ frame and the barrel/cyl. Barrel and cyl had S1508XX. The frame crane had 651XX. I have some cell phone pics I can post later. Is this numbering normal? Jim

Looking for a butt stock for my Marlin 1895. Jim

Looking to trade my fixed sight snubby for a 16.25" barreled Marlin .45-70. Would also consider an 1895SBL. I guess if all else fails I would take $900 for it. Comes with original box and grips. Jim

B0 serial numbered first year Marlin 1895 .45-70. Good condition for a little over $400. OK, its on layaway for a month or so... but I saw it and the wife wouldnt let me walk away from it. So I guess technically she bought it for me as an anniversary present. I LOVE that woman. And since the...

Im a big guy, around 6'4" and somewhere between 300 and 350 lbs since 1995. Im not very old, 39, and just got tired of it. This is me at my peak a couple of years ago at around 350. I do fairly physical work so I am not as big as some 350 lb guys. I floated between 350 and 335 for a couple of...
