      Considering a Glock .45

      I really like the 30S; it's a great shooter. It's a nice compliment if you've got both a 21 and a 19. It can take the 21 mags and it will fit very well into any 19 holster.

      Looking for a 9mm Carbine.

      That is one sharp Aero you have there! Is it pretty balanced and lightweight? When I held a few of the Ruger PC Carbines they were really front heavy.

      Why are lever guns so attractive?

      You're right Mgderf; they are very expensive if you can even FIND one. All most 2 years ago now, I found my first J.M. stamped Marlin 336 in .30-30 for $850. It was a 1979 model, no cross bolt safety and very clean. I hadn't seen one at my LGS for years and didn't own any at the time so I...

      Any good fun .22lr lever guns?

      I haven't seen many Uberti's but I'll keep an eye out for them. This is my only Henry so we'll see how it goes. My only other lever .22 is a JM-stamped Marlin 39A which is a great gun!

      Any good fun .22lr lever guns?

      I just picked up a used H001 with a scratched receiver cover but Henry sells replacement covers for $40 + S/H for the smooth cover or $50 + S/H with a saddle ring. Waiting for my plain cover to arrive...

      Hi Standard Double Nine

      I happened to find a chrome one like yours at my LGS with the original and two sets of stocks; black and ivory. I never knew they existed. It is a great shooter and having 9 rounds makes the fun last longer. Hope you enjoy yours too! And as someone else said above, mine is going to be passed...

      Is anyone actually selling Mosin rifles for $450 plus?

      That's for sure. How can you tell if it's an authentic Mosin sniper rifle or a bubba'd replica?

      HST Vehicle Darkness Gunfighting 10.21.2023

      I'll try to read your article later. It's not easy drawing from your strong side while seated with your seat belt on, but it can be done safely. I did it from both driver and passenger seats WITH a partner in the other seat at the time. When the "THREAT!" command was given, we worked as a team...

      HST Vehicle Darkness Gunfighting 10.21.2023

      Last Saturday I attended the 8-hour Hoosier State Training Vehicle Darkness Gunfighting Class. It was a fantastic learning experience! Dan Burch did an amazing job instructing us. It ran from 2pm-10pm. The training with great examples showed actual applications and results along with dispelling...

      Guns in Israel - A lesson for us...

      Thanks for sharing this article. I found a couple from Jewish News Syndicate: Rush for guns and Prepare for Arab rioting One sentence that really caught my attention in the 2nd article was: And starting this week, gun owners will be able to own 100 bullets, up from 50. Wow, this sure makes...

      What gun are you fond of that you may or may not own?

      That I own and are most fond of: S&W 686 4" no dash S&W 29-2 6.5" ... "Go ahead...make my day!" Special one. 1st rifle I ever bought: beautiful Ruger Mini-14...with a 30-round mag...what fun! Only $150 many many years ago. 1st AR: Used BCM Recce 16; if I would have walked away, there were...

      Really want another 686.

      The 686+ 3" is a great revolver. I picked up a used one (over 5 years ago now, wow!), no box or paperwork just the revolver. It's very well balanced in your hand and the stock trigger is just fine. I don't carry it yet, still haven't searched for an IWB holster, but I do take it out for...

      Yeah like I need another 1911

      Sorry to hijack a 1911 thread with a Glock post...is that sacrilege? I hear ya Bassat; my first Glock was a 21 Gen 3. Still have it and love shooting it. I did add a 30S a few years back since it can use 21 mags. Maybe that's one you should consider too? Compact, 10 rounds of .45 and so sweet...

      Every prepper needs a Glock 19...???

      Exactly! Like Clint Smith says...battle field pickups. Being able to pickup any firearm and know how to use it effectively..."become a student of weapons craft".
