I have wanted one of these since I first saw one in some gun magazine ad back in the early 70's. :p Just kind of forgot about it until a friend called and said he had some guns that he was selling for an estate of a friend whose father had passed. I told him I would take it if it was still...

First trip to the range for my 9 year old granddaughter. Spent time yesterday getting her familiarized with the operation of the M&P 15-22 and discussed firearm safety as well as range rules and procedures. She was a little apprehensive about shooting for her first time but was very happy when...

I ordered two 10 round magazines for my 15-22 in early November; the finally arrived today!:D They arrived in S&W packaging, part number 199240000 and are labeled ".22 LR Magazine - 10 ROUNDS" However, when I loaded the magazines, I am only able to get 7 rounds in each of them. :confused: Am...

I just picked up a pound of Unique for loading 240 gr LSWC rounds in .44 S&W Special. As I have never used Unique before, I went to Alliant Powders web site for their recipe for this load. I was surprised to see that there was no minimum/starting charge or maximum charge listed. :confused...

Went down to the Gander in my area to pick up some targets for today's trip to the range. As I was checking out, I asked the clerk if they had any AR's for sale and if prices had been raised. He said that he didn't think that prices had gone up, but that "they weren't putting any more out"...

Been looking for a 4" Blue Python from the early 70's for a while now (and watching prices rise as well :eek:) to round out my very modest "collection". After reading a post from "Dewey" about the Python market, I went to a LGS that I found by accident a few weeks ago. As fate would have it...

I've had this pistol since the early 1970's and always loved the way it shot... except for the numerous FTF'S and FTE's. Let it sit for many years (assuming that it Would somehow fix itself, but it never did! :() Anyhow I took it to Gander's "gunsmith" to tune the magazine. $50+ later, same...

Last night I was checking ammo pricing on line at various retailers. Came across Ganders sale price of $89.99 for 250 pack of .38 special. Went to the local store only to have it rung up at $99.99. I told them about the online price and after they verified it they made it right. Good...

While cleaning up the basement, found the box for my 28-2 that I inherited from my LE father. (S/N S2808XX which matches the revolver) It has diamond target grips on it now but does not fit in the box so I assume he added these after he bought it I need some help with some of the notations on...

The New, New Math I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her...

Just getting back into shooting (and soon reloading) after more years than I care to enumerate! S&W's I currently own include a Stainless 5906, a Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman with a 4" barrel (my fathers side arm as a cop in Milwaukee) and just bought a 686-6 that I have yet to heat up...
