The Konus scopes are very popular now with the hipower shooting set. http://www.jarheadtop.com/KONUS.htm These guys are over anal about their equipment, and quality is the first thing these guys look for. Watch out Shane, that PTR32 is mighty close relative to those peasant guns.

Hitler's Garand!!! Great collectors piece. Are you working a WWII rifle collection? Can I give you one of my biggest bonehead events ever. 1996 at a gun show in Georgia, I just got back into rifle and handguns, I came across an SVT40 in what appeared to me to be great condition, not knowing much other then what it was. But using what I knew of old shotguns I realized this gun had original stock, owner showed me all the matching numbers and it came with two mags. I put a $25 deposit down on it to go get more cash... owner was not a dealer, just an older guy looking to move some guns and had a table at this show. He was asking $400 for it. Well I went and got the money, got distracted by a FN HiPower and bought that instead. Old guy wanted to give me my $25 back and I said keep it, I screwed you. I felt horrible for 5 seconds... when the guy that was standing next to me spole up and said he would take it. So the old guy made $425 on the old Russian. Then the new buyer proceeded to educate me, in a nice way mind you, about what a deal I just screwed...... Learned two things that day... when opportunity open a door for you jump through it. And learn before you go and focus on what you want.

Who all is going to be tjere tomorrow? I am going to try to ring out the new m1a tomorrow.

G19 is always first choice but from the op I was thonking he wanted a more compact gun. If your size is up to medium frames.... No discussion g19.

Model 10 K38 masterpiece for under 400 Lady smith model 66 M19 can be pricey. Look m27 for a large frame .357 U can sometimes find .44spec or .41mags for good prices.

CZ P01 (great gun) Keltec (great price) Sig 239 (hard to find and pricey) Walther PPS (much to pricey unless preowned) I would not buy a Kahr for reasons of ownership. The Keltec is from an American company that is trying very hard to be imaginitive and cutting edge. Their pocket pistols have improved remarkably in the last few years. They are not "range guns" but defensive guns. I will acquire one of their guns shortly.

Hmmm... I would try a little bit of simple green on a rag. I did that to a scope once and the simple green cleaned it right off. But that was CLP and not eezox, which I have no idea what it is and have never used it.

We are going to need a full report on this acquisition. I have been mulling this exact purchase over and over..... true honest feedback and maybe even a running blog would be great.

Griffin and Howe were the USA most elite shooting shop in the early years. Back when there were shooting preserves throughout NJ, NY and Conn. Some of the most famous shooters of the time worked their as salesmen, fitters or smiths. I have a catalog from their dated 1938 that I cherish. I am not a snotty person in any sense of the word, but classic shotguns make me short of breath. I shoot other guns because I know if I ever purchased a 10k+ classic gun, I would place it in a frame/glass box and treat it like an art piece. I have an issue in thar I like shooting my old guns, driving old vehicles and @$%^#^ old women.

Rough around the edges, but apparently a GREAT BUY. The tac is the model to have and they have 9mm versions avail also for same prices point. They are close to WWII varation, so some modernization can be done for low costs if you need to. But the sights, ambi safety, spur and skel trigger are huge costs savings. Go for it and let us know how it works. It's just money.

Look for a preloved Beretta Cougar ($400) or SIG 220 ($500+). I like the concept of the SIG, I just dont like the trigger (SIG lovers relax) and the 8rd cap. The FN runs $500+ right now.... it is the best deal out there.

Because the 2A is not just about Semi Auto Rifles! And because old shotguns and hunting rifles are cool, old world craftsmanship, quality beyond modern concepts and they are cool. Those old sxs shotguns are works of art IMHO. Zombies are not the only reason to own firearms.

Yep... you have mine. Treat her nice as she is the one I let get and never should have. You mistreat her, and I will swoop her away from you. For cash of course.

You must have MONGO hands then. The FN45USG is a great gun... softest shooting .45 I have ever fired. It also has ewvery ergonimic function and capability you could ever want. Rail, yep. Ambi everything, yep. Hammer... yep. Great combat sites, yep. 3 mags 14+ rds ... yep. I have avg+ hands and it was large. Two issues, holster availability and the stipling is sharp. The FN is a great gun. I sold mine regrettably to consolidate my ammo stores into 9mm and 10mm. I would buy it back or get another in a heartbeat.

I am sorry if I believe there to be a large bag of hypocrisy going on here. R u all telling me that if you had a friend/acquiatence that was anti gun, you would not mourn his passing, early or late? That you cant seperate your politics from the real world. That you allow thoughts to remove you from what is really important in this world relationships with others, no matter their thoughts, feelings or beliefs. Is this the new racism.... political thought. I am glad to say I knew John Adler, faults and all. And I am proud to say he was a good man and will be missed.

funny how you guys have zero sympathy for someone and his family and friends when he dies early, simpl over a political iidea. I guess none of you have friends that disagree with you politically. How sad.

Thank you..... we will try to be there before 1pm. My oldest has lacrosse from 11 till noon.

Any web sites or other info. I would love to take my boys to this.

Frothimg at the mouth anti gunner and liberal intellectual. Did some good things as a state senator amd some questionable. But he was a young man, father of two teen boys and a husband. He is respected as a good neighbor and citizen here no matter his politics. He always treated people with respect and was a gentlman at all times. Was I sad when he lost his seat to Runyan, nope, but this is sad for hos family and the people that knew him.

Leasing is where it is at in bmws.... Make the move.

I love the 92 design, but a different maker. Imho Taurus makes the superior 92 design. They are made on beretta machinery left in brazil in the 70s and are 98% the same except dor the improved location and function of the safety on the frame.. Not only is the placement more reliable, faster and ergonomic it allowd for cocked and locked carry. You can use any 92 mag and accessories. They also cost about 200 less which is 1k rounds of 9mm. They may.not be as beatiful to look at but beauty is also in the function, cost saving and reliability. Dont listen to taurus haters, their 92 series guns are great.

I like Mississippi auto arms. They have full conversion kits with furniture also. Good guys there.

Update?

I cant wait for the KSG.... No need to reload because if 14+1 dont take care of the issue... I should have brought a light machine gun.

Benchmade, Boker, Case, CRKT or Swiss Army always in my possession. It is amazing the number of times you use it a day. My kids laugh at my wife and want to know why she does not carry a pocket knife as she stuggles with twine, boxes or what have you. And the old southern gentleman from whom I learned about bird hunting, bird dogs and bourbon always said "A gentleman always has his pocket knife with him." Dont know why... but it sounded good.
