This truely is a massive loss for freedom and our nation. God rest his soul.

I was in your same dilemma and after handling both I went with the Smith & Wesson 686. Ruger was real nice but I just liked the Smith alot more and felt it was worth the difference.

Got the call this afternoon, sweet! Picking up Saturday morning.

Welcome from Maple Shade. This forum has helped me a boatload.

A gun safe first off A nice 1911-45 Lever action rifle, not sure which caliber yet. Older Ruger 10/22 Ruger Mark III Hunter with wood grips a couple guns for the wife, 9mm and maybe a .40sw Glock

Waiting since Saturday the 29th on mine. Was faxed in, hopefully by Thursday I'll hear something.

I looked at a 22A also, nice gun. Wasn't right for me at this time.

No I don't . Have a S&W 686 and a Mossberg 500, and hopefully real soon my nics comes back and I can pick up my new Browning Buck Mark Plus UDX for a total of 3 firearms. Just getting started in this hobby. Thanks for the idea though.

First off. Thanks for all the suggestions. Today I went to Bobs Little Sport shop in Glassboro because they carry Browning and Ruger pistols. I held several Buckmarks and a couple Mark III's. They didn't have the Mark III Hunter in stock so maybe next time. I purchased a Buck Mark Plus UDX. Really like the fit and feel of this firearm in my hand. Also held a S&W 22A but the grip was huge.

The Ruger Mark III Hunter is a beautiful piece, for the right price I may be in on one.

Thanks for all the replies.

So I've been looking at reviews of 22lr semi-auto pistols til I'm blue in the face. Sig mosquito is hit or miss, Walther P22 is hit or miss, Ruger SR22 has some issues with parts breaking. I was all set to go get the Ruger when I stumbled across some negative you tube reviews. So I've been thinking about a S&W m&p 22 , a Colt/Umarex 1911-22, Maybe a Browning Buck mark camper if I can find one, Sig 1911-22 possibly. The most important factors for this gun is that it be durable and last a lifetime, fun to shoot and accurate. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Need not be competition quality, $400-$500 range preferably. Thank you for your help.

I was all set to pick one up and then I stumbled across reviews on you tube. Changed my mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D7JgHEbgKc . Ruger needs to fix this problem. they repaired it for this guy and it broke again.

Have a Blessed and Peaceful Christmas.

A Black Forrest pork roast from Riekers Deli in Foxchase, brussel sprouts with bacon, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy and a nice filet of Mahi-Mahi marinated in a ginger, garlic, onion and hoisin sauce for my sister the pescatarian. Warsteiner Oktoberfest and Red Vin to wash it down. Assorted cookies(made by the wifeand kids) and a cheese cake(made by my mom) for dessert. The roast is a pork loin stuffed with sausage and wrapped in bacon, Awesome.

Bangers had a couple blue ones a few weeks ago . Team USA models I think they were .

Ok cool . Thank you.

I bought a Mossberg 500 with a 28" barrel at Dicks on BF . When I tried to fill the magazine as described in the manual with 5 shells , I could only get 2 in . Do the field models come with a factory installed magazine plug ? This is my first shotgun so it's all new to me . After Christmas I plan on getting a shorter barrel and some other accessories like a light and extra shell holder for the stock . Love the wood look of the stock so that is staying . Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Is there a flashlight made to mount on the 686 regular? It's not a plus , pro or dx . Thanks for the replies .

Looking into options for replacing the sights on a 686 with a 6" barrel . Looked at some but not sure if they will fit or not . Need something bright , low light conditions , home defense at night . Any suggestions are appreciated .

Pictures ?

Great show so far , great energy from the crowd and the bands .

I would recommend for an occasional smoker the Oliva Serie "G" , nice and mild with a cameroon wrapper and only about $5.50 a cigar in NJ . I've given them to a bunch of occasional smokers and they've all liked them .

Type freeship in the coupon code box after you enter blackfriday and it comes up with a 7 day free shipping option . Looking at the sites for my S & W 686 , wondering if they'll work or not . Thanks for the post .

Dicks in Mt.Laurel told me tomrrow at the earliest but more like monday or tuesday to pick up my new Mossberg 500 with a long barrel that I paid for in full around 11am on Black Friday . It was the only thing I went out for and saved $30 . The staff were all very friendly but seemed like they were really getting swamped today .
