Re: Would you make this trade?
Four years ago I went thru 7 .44 Magnum rifles in an attempt to find one that shot accurately.None did.They were three Ruger carbines(one a lever action),a lever Winchester,an NEF Handi,a Ruger bolt action model 77 and a Rossi single shot.I never could get decent accuracy from a .44 magnum rifle.My ...

It rides really well and comfortable on my hip in a Galco holster which was originally for my Glock 17. I have not had the opportu...

Re: LCP...didn't need it, got it anyways
When Ruger came out with the LCP I remarked at how much they looked like the Kel Tec P3AT.
I still think so. I carry a P3AT in a pocket holster every day.I really like the little .380's.
.380 after all is just a 9MM short.

I was not overly impressed with the carbine which started this thread. I bought two Hi Point 9mm carbines also last year.
They shoot just as good as the Marlin. Fella came along and offered me double what I paid for the Marlin. It's gone.
I like a lever gun much better.
