I think the original Trappers were factory 15" , like this one and thus made a few years before the ATF was conceived

I watched the video. My Ruger/Marlin has fed flawlessly over 700 rounds of all kinds of bullet shapes. And I think the finish is outstanding. He pointed to groups with .357 ammo that I think were unacceptable. He seems to be having fliers like we are and he just discounts them because he wants to. ...

Depends on where you live and are hunting, I guess. In Ohio, deer hunting requires a straight wall case which caused a run on on the pistol cal. carbines. A lot of the guys around here were afraid of the .45-70 and never heard of a .450 Marlin or a .38-55 which i would use. This gave a boost to the...

I like this guy (sometimes) -- and the dude is an LTC -- im assuming Reserves or Nasty Guard I find him eccentric but i still watch ---- he was detailing a new production 1894 MArlin in .38 that was a jam o matic But got me to thinking about calibers Locally the .44 version is flying off shelves ---...

My little dogs (3 of them and not a single one over 25 pounds) are my first line of defense ---- sadly the latest addition (had her about 6 months) -- gives me a lot of false alarms because she barks at everything --- people jogging by on the road literally 400 feet in front of my house, motorcycles...

I have two years left to go, but am kind of "semi retired". I have worked 3 days a week for the last 4 and a half years. That 3 days of working REALLY gets in the way. Pretty much my schedule --- although i am going to have to stay on the 2 or 3 day a week plan indefinitely -- probably wo...

(snip) I think of Gus's admonition to Juanz in the Lonesome Dove saloon as he was wiping the table. Gus said that most folks would not notice a dead skunk on the table. I have observed that same thing with the general population and peop!e who are carrying openly. And if they are carrying concealed...

I have no need for the 375 myself , but will chime in to say that i would very much love to procure its smaller brother , the 307, in one of those oddly attractive slightly bloated Big Bores !

Is KAhr still going? -- Havent really noticed anything from them in a while although i remember a few friends 15ish years ago who carried Kahr's /

No opinion as i never tried one , but -- German engineering is usually quite satisfactory

I have been carrying in church about 10 years. Most folks have no idea that I carry . I carry a 3" 9mm, OWB by preference and following Masad Ayoob's recs, I likely look a bit like a "slouch"......and I'm one of the church Elders besides. Why not? The rules have changed and i believe...

Instead of trying to redress you or changing your armament, I’m going to recommend a linen or seersucker jacket for hotter weather. Fortunately for you, these fabrics are “in” now and being warmer season items should be on clearance this time of year. Yes I second this -- just find a summer weight ...

Didnt know they (S&W) made a small 1911 format pistol I have experience with the Sig 238 and 938 by proxy, and would love to add a Colt Mustang to the inventory if i come across one at a time that coincides with me having some walking around money Great little guns and i would be happy to retire...

Streetstar

I have seen and fired some very nice doubles and drillings, but as a retired GOV guy don't own any and as an OLD guy don't want to carry one. This one probably weighs about 5 pounds and has 16 inch barrels. It’s easy to carry. :o :o :o obviously something for beginner shooters or those who are reco...

Id rather go for the missile silo in Kansas for a bit over a mil

Hope you got out shooting or can ge out shooting soon ! -- thats how i try to celebrate my birthday when i can !

I have read elswhere as well that people find them ugly. Honestly, the look of it is what appeals to me. I think it looks fantastic. But I would hate to purchase on looks alone and then find out its not a good shooter. The only thing i have heard of from them that wasnt reliable was early reports o...

Streetstar

Honestly I absolutely hate the looks , hopefully they are shooters. You know what I really would have hoped is that Anthony Imperato would have struck anouther agreement with Colt to produce the Authentic Blackpowder series revolvers. I was about to remark something similar, but not that specific -...

Hemingway was looking for U-Boats in the Carribean.

When those came out i thought they looked kinda like a Colt Trooper or Lawman in profile They have an interesting appearance with the brass accents , but they priced me out of the market.

I would like to find a Trapper length gun in .45 Colt and I really like Marlins.

Streetstar

I’ve had both - emphasis on HAD I now only own a handful of Winchester’s and Winchester pattern rifles. Also ditched the 44mags for 45 Colt After carrying both Winchesters and Marlins afield I prefer the Winchesters. They feel trimmer and have a natural balance for me. Talking about the PCC’s now - ...

Yes

I can’t stay away from arms list even bough I have zero ‘need” for another gun

I do have a perceived need for better optics for the ones I have, more silencers and more ammo though

We got a couple of vtes for the Hi-Power
Or if 10mm is on the agenda-

Its low capacity, but SIG still has a 220 in 10 if you look around and arent afraid to unfold a bit of green candy

I never have handled a Browning Hi-Power but they are classics, and as a respectable gun-owner, I really SHOULD own one... By the time I get around to getting one they will probably be scarce/collector items and very pricey... :| Springfield makes a very nice one in the $650ish range couple of clon...
