Yeah, the big problem with 38 Super is that most of the major ammo makers have watered it down until its barely more than a 9mm. :mad: If you want true 38 Super performance, you gotta either handload or buy boutique ammo. I do handload, but I've settled on Cor-Bon 125gr JHP as my carry load...

Gettin' old sucks! 🤬 For close to 40 years my primary carry gun has been a lightly modified 1959 Colt LW Commander in .45acp. I love this gun! 😍 However with age and a touch of arthritis I discovered that I don't shoot it as well as I once did. Now mind you that I do still shoot a full size...

If you want a G.I. style gun, go with the new SA Mil-Spec. Don't worry about the finish, the G.I. guns were parkerized. If you want pretty, you gotta pay for it. :rolleyes:

I only fill those out if I have something to complain about. AFAIK its never made a bit of difference, but at least I had my say.

Its been unusually hot and dry here in South West Tennessee. Temps in the upper 70s and not much rain. A cold front came through today with a little rain and temps dropped to the upper 50s. Normal April weather here should be temps in the mid-60s and lots of rain. :rolleyes:

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but now 11 missing or dead? A couple just walked away with no car, no ID and no phone, but they did take a gun? Even I admit that this sure sounds hinky.

Indications are that the guy knew exactly what he was doing. He got caught. So be it.

Your gonna love it! (y)

Damn! There's a gun show that weekend and I was planning on going. :mad:

For some years now people with very deep pockets have been buying up all kinds of collectible guns at ridiculous prices. Smith & Wessons, Colts and a few others. GB is full of these guys. Speculation is that they're buying them as investments. I have to wonder if they know how long it takes for...

A nice gun for sure. But nowhere near worth what it sold for. :rolleyes:

Tennessee shows 52%. I think that our gun owners are lying. The number should be much higher. Everybody I know has at least one gun. ;) As for California, bear in mind that the vast majority of their population lives along the coast. Check a voting map and you'll see than once you go 2-3...

My first gun forum was the original The Firing Line some 25 years ago. It was a small community at the time and we were all pretty close. But the original owner was a bit full of himself and didn't take well to criticism. (putting it mildly) He ended up running a lot of good people off. He was...

Interesting...... :rolleyes: I don't seem to remember any particular scuffle. We all poke at each other from time to time. That's just the internet life. ;)

Without tearing the gun down and inspecting it myself, I can't say for sure. The series 80 firing pin safety plunger lifts up to allow the firing pin to move and is spring loaded to force it back down to the safe position. So a sticking plunger would keep the safety in the fire position. I...

A bit too light for me. It would be a real hand full with heavy bullet .44 Special loads. I like my 696 no-dash. Same gun but in stainless steel. I have carried it when hiking and camping in places where bigger critters roam. Never felt a bit undergunned. ;)

No, they were actually in some form of business administration. She was an administrator at the local VA. Very smart at her job, but totally lost in everyday life. :rolleyes:

I once dated a woman that had two PHDs. Poor girl was dumb as a box of rocks. :rolleyes:

Win 231 has been my go to powder for non-magnum handgun calibers for many years. I've used it in everything from .32 S&W to .44 Special with excellent results. Other powders will likely produce more velocity, but 231 works well in so many different cartridges that I stick to it. As far as your...

There's already a thread about this. But, I'll repeat. I WANT A LIGHTWEIGHT MODEL!
