I don't think I could improve much on the design of the Browning BLR, except for such details as the finish and the front sight. I like the Savage 99, too, but don't own one, so am not familiar with all its details. It was a Lightning BLR, in 1997, that caught my eye, and turned my attention toward ...

My condolences. May Kathe rest in peace.

CONGRATULATIONS, TERRY!

I paid close attention when the .40 S&W was being developed. One very important goal was to be ballistically very close to the 185-grain .45 ACP load, to allow something much like .45 ACP to be chambered in double-stack pistols with short enough chambers to allow folks with normal-sized hands to...

I could certainly live in a trailer, temporarily, anyway, if I had another place, such as rented storage, to keep some of my things. This second location would be more for security than anything else; not wanting all my eggs in one basket. After all, I do live on the Gulf Coast, as in Gulf of Mexico...

Well, I looked at the thread in question. I was not offended. I reckon the gentlemanly thing to say: Beautiful! Sixgun and gal, both.

KirkD, great photo, and I thoroughly enjoyed the write-up. Thanks! Especially interesting was using the antique route to get around restrictive gun laws. I am glad you found this solution! As for the 5.5" barrel, I do like this length for a PPP. If I ever special-order a factory SA PPP, or comm...

Gentlemen, thanks for an interesting thread! I have nothing to offer, of course, except a lamentation that there is so little wilderness in which to go on a walkabout with a rifle, far from a road. My home state of Texas is particularly short of such places.

Prayer upward, for the deputy, and for all LEOs and peace officer who work who work along the drug routes, and for all good folks in AZ and the border areas. Things like this are personal; US 59 passes through my beat, near its intersection with Interstate 10. A different cartel's route, but still t...

GP100, adjustable sights, 4" to 6" barrel. There are times that a rifle or shotgun simply cannot be practical to carry. The LEOSA permits me to have a loaded handgun more places than a loaded long gun. If LEOSA were ever to be repealed, handgun carry reciprocity laws would still allow me t...

Scott T... who used to post here often had a very nice Storekeeper's SAA made up for his daily carry gun... and some ccw holster for it. ScottT's sixgun is a bit longer-barreled than a Storekeeper or Sheriff's Model, and a bit shorter than the normal 4-3/4". He just posted a pick of it on anot...

I have seen something like that seemingly backwards-hand draw style in history books, in photos of ancient art depicting archers. I can't recall the exact civilization; Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, or something like that. I only caught a few glimpses of "Avatar" while the family was wat...

Yes, interested, if it is close enough. If I can't get off work on the Sunday, it might just be a day trip on Saturday. (I work nights, Sunday through Thursday.)

Yep, that happens. Two posts contained "SSA," so I thought I'd mention it.

I'll second Doc's recommendation to carry a small spare gun with an SAA or other SA sixgun. (BTW, guys, what is an SSA?) When I toted revolvers, it tended to be two of them, anyway. I now tend to tote two autopistols, the same personally-owned P229 pistols I carry on duty. Sometimes, it is one auto ...

Verizon Wireless. Certainly not the least expensive, but it is portable. Over several years, I have moved from an air card, to a USB modem, to the present embedded GOBI device in my Sony netbook and a "Mi-Fi" that is also portable. The Mi-Fi can act as a USB modem or as a Wi-Fi with a 30-f...

I've been following this post since day one, and still can't make up my mind. Theoretically, an FA 97, .45 Colt or .44 Special, 5.5" barrel, but I have never fired one. I have handled a few of them. The closest thing I own is my Accusport .45 dual-cylinder stainless Bisley, which I have yet to ...

I registered for a new account over there some number of months ago, perhaps over a year, and never heard back from them. It made me wonder if any admins were paying attention.

I can't think of anything inspirational to say. I have lost some beloved pooches lately, myself.

The generally accepted consensus is that Bloodhounds are following the scent of the tiny "rafts" of shed skins cells that are constantly falling from us at all times. So, there is no need for the tracked person to be touching the ground. As for whether Bloodhounds can smell "better&qu...

We have three of these. The first, a stainless steel Winchester Model 70, was a gift from my then-girlfriend, now wife, who did not yet know I am left-eye dominant. The second, a left-hand Winchester Model 70 Safari Express, I bought so we would have his-and-hers Africa rifles. The third is a Ruger ...

John Farnam's website mentioned Glock floorplates coming loose, but I can't remember if the incidents involved extended floorplates, or if they were factory or aftermarket. Even the standard floorplates can be all too easily mis-assembled. Do be careful. Ysabel Kid, an alternative to those +2 floorp...

I have read on the 24hourcampire of Z-hat rebarreling BLRs. If one wants a standard cartridge chambering, but with a slightly heavier barrel, my .308 Takedown BLR barrel is a bit larger in diameter, at least at the muzzle, than my 1997 and 2000-something .308 BLR barrels. The difference is apparent ...

Nothing wrong with Saigas, except that they are a bit vertically-built. I still like the slimness of a Mini-14, and its line-of-sight being so close to the bore axis.

Rexster

Great craftsmanship, but check your muzzle for mud if you sit down, by accident or on purpose. I don't like being negative, and finding fault is NOT something I do with any pleasure. I live in a rainy area, with sticky mud, and have fallen onto my south end a few times, which makes me think of such ...

You know, if you click on the photo it gets real big. :wink: Not on a Sony P-series. The original photo almost filled the available vertical space; clicking on the image only made it about half an inch taller. Edited to add: Ah, I clicked again, and it grew more. (Learned something new today!) I do...

Look into who owns that "abandoned" shooting range. Perhaps you can become the new guy in charge?

What irks me about local ranges is all the rules, which seem to only favor slow-fire shooting at bullseyes.

Rexster

I can't see the photo clearly enough tell anything, as I am using my Sony P-series at the moment, but GSP also famously carried a couple of pocket pistols, a 1903 Colt .380 and a very slim Remington, the model name of which eludes my memory at this point.

Texas DPS used Minis for years, and the troopers of my acquaintance liked them. When my agency was researching which carbines to let us carry on duty, the only thing "wrong" to be found with Minis was that the op rod tended to break after 160,000 rounds, among the DPS Minis. One-hundred si...

True. You will be handing those extra guns out to former gun haters who have had a change of heart. :lol: One item to think about is handiness. In a defensive situation, you'd just be sitting there and it wouldn't matter how heavy the gun or ammo is, so a nice heavy .308 battle rifle is just the th...

My experience has been limited to handling these rifles at a local dealer, and dreaming. Shiloh and C. Sharps are a step above the Italian makers, and Pedersoli is a big step above the lesser Italian products, to my eyes, regarding fit and finish. For some reason, this dealer has had several pre-own...

txpete is onto something good, there! I don't think I mentioned it in my earlier post in this thread, but one big reason I like Minis is because they are a miniature of the M14/M1A, which is of course a development of "the best battle implement yet devised," the M1 Garand, to use the (appr...

I contentedly carried a Model 58 from 1985 to around 1991, when it became so loose I had to pull it from service. It had been a San Antonio PD duty sixgun before I bought it, and it had definitely seen better days by the time I acquired it. According to gunwriter Tom Ferguson, who had been an SAPD o...

I like my normally-stocked Mini because it is slim. (My other has a SCAR stock.) With the 5-round or 10-round mags, the normally-stocked Mini stays slim, great for carrying in a lacrosse racquet bag. I like both of my Minis, actually 580-series Ranch Rifles, because the safety is lefty-friendly, and...
