+1 for Louie. Good dude.

T_T my favorite gun of all time... I need one. Nice find, buddy.

+1 that are thing is a new kind of ugly.

I feel like this is a much better compromise: https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/the-long-ranger/ plus a lot more pride of ownership AND not fugly.

Totally confused, can I assemble this myself? I thought the NJSP letter said it was a no go. Or is it just a proceed at your own risk thing? If I have to go through a FFL, any recommendation for shops that will assemble an other with provided parts?

I was looking at a 11.3 inch barrel with the A5 buffer tube. Will that meet the 26” requirement?

Oh yeah, add 12 gauge to my list... I do use all of them at one time or another. 12 gauge the least probably.

4 handgun calibers, 2 rifle calibers and 22LR across a few different guns. I am not a fan of stocking different calibers, but I keep enough around for a few range trips for the more collectible pieces.

Check out the TCR22. It’s like a upgraded 10/22 for a pretty fair price. A bit over your budget, but it can grow with her.

Yes and no. If you make a conscious effort, with your thumb hitting the top, not the side, it should drop. Either way, like all things it will loosen with use.

I have a 2.0, and it worked straight out of the box. The left side anyway. The right side is near impossible, but most of the ambidextrous releases (that I have experienced) are from the right. Actually, the gen 5 Glocks were the best I have handled (from the right side).

Little late to the game, but I went EO because of the parallax difference. 0 at 100 vs about 9” IIRC. Plus I am cross eye dominant, both eyes open doesn’t work out so well as point shooting, so I prefer the bigger window vs. tube.

The fact of the matter is, it all comes down to perceived value here. There is a reason Nighthawk and Rock Island can coexist and both be successful. I like to spend my money with companies I know and trust, regardless of price (unless completely unreasonable).

On the note of hating the recoil, I find the sig bore axis too high. I'm not a fan, and as such I sold out of my P226 and P320RX. Too much moving mass above the hand. I picked up an M9 and I think it is a much sweeter shooter than the P226. YMMV

I prefer side loading, and I would like it alone. That being said, the merits of front tube make it a great addition to side loading. Front loading alone was unappealing for anything but .22lr, but the addition of the loading gate has put a Henry on my "must buy" list.

Nice find. Those old Smiths hold up very well, and yours is beautiful. Where is @Pizza Bob?

Keanu Reeves can keep making movies and I will gladly go see them. If you didn't know (not that it changes how much I enjoy his work), he had a rough life: https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/keanu-reeves-life-is-more-tragic-than-you-think.html/ Plus JW3 was awesome. I like that they mention that he has made a lot of trouble over the past few weeks. It felt like it was just different enough to be interesting, plus, you just want to see when and how Mr. Wick finds peace. The 3 we have so far would be awesome to binge back to back, but I'll wait for the 4th (and maybe final movie). I also like that he didn't get all hypocritical like Liam Neeson. I liked his movies until he opened his mouth.

Yeah, if I didn’t think Colt would make it right, I would have refused delivery.

Wow, I want those grips! That is going to be a beautiful piece. I can’t wait to see the finished gun. It went back because of the following: Ding on the rear of the cylinder Chatter marks on the trigger guard/ front strap Overly rounded edges on the trigger guard/ front strap Right grip panel not square with frame Tool marks in the cylinder window (only visible with cylinder removed,; may be normal) One chamber misshapen on front due to a number stamped too close to the edge I received a call from Patrick (custom shop manager) where he informed me that they would do what they can to make it right. He said if it is going to take too long (man hours on their end) to correct, however that they may contact me for a replacement or refund.

She is a beauty. I have to shoot everything I own. I like the .44, however I wanted the .45 Colt because I am going to get a .45 ACP cylinder as soon as Colt starts taking orders again. According to the customer shop manager, it is slated to happen before the end of this year.

Actually managed to pick one up, if you scroll up, you can see a pic. As I stated in a post after that one, I sent it back to Colt due to some cosmetic issues.

Yes and no, permits are good for 90 days and you can extend them to 180 days total. As long as you don't see it taking any longer than that, you are fine.

No, not even close. But for about $750 you get a lot of gun. I'm not a big Ruger fan, but I see the value in some of their stuff.

The .357(.38)/9mm already exists as the Vaquero. They have a .45 Colt/.45ACP, too.

Fwiw, that Kimber compact conversion should work. They are designed to work with most other brands as well. You could call to find out. I can respect wanting a whole separate gun though. The Browning 1911-22 looks cool.
