      Taurus Quality?

      Back in the 1980s I worked in a gun store. I test fired all used handguns myself. Usually one full box of ammo. Having test fired many hundreds of handguns, although this was a long time ago, Taurus guns seemed to function as reliable as most others. The guns that functioned poorly, were the...

      Anyone have real world experience with the Switch Gun

      I have an NAA revolver that I carry about 1/2 the time. Depends on where I am at or where I am going. I have shot at least 1000 rds thru this gun and it has always been 100 % reliable. Since you already own one, why not try some different grips on your gun. Much cheaper than buying another gun...

      Greenfield area help me out!

      I had one of those, bought used, had little timing problem. Made trip to Greenfield, he retimed gun while I waited. That was a very long time ago. It was a huge revolver and weighed as much as most rifles.

      Traders in the Classifieds

      I have traded, bought, sold guns for over 50 years. Sometimes with a gun store, dealers, private individuals, etc. Probably over 200 maybe 300 guns. I have gotten 4 or 5 problematic guns from private individuals that I lost money on, and /or was cheated. I have also gotten 4 or 5 problematic...

      .22 Conversion, Dedicated .22 Trainer, or Case of Centerfire?

      I have a Kimber 45 and one of the original Kimber 22 conversion kits for it. That works for me.

      A place for steyr rifles

      Many years ago I had a Steyr SSG 308 target rifle. At 100 yds, it would put bullets on top of each other.

      Ideas for Revolver grip

      I agree with above on a 32 S&W long revolver. No slide to rack, hard for women, usually 6 shot revolver, and very mild recoil.

      Why all the accessory rails on handguns?

      I also like the clean looks of a handgun without rails.

      Importance of weight when considering a concealed carry gun

      Several comments on P32. I have owned a P32 for 15 maybe 20 years. Several years ago I traded a Spyderco knife for several boxes of 32 auto ammo. Shot all of it, 100s of rounds, and gun function 100% perfect every round. I believe most of it was full metal jacket. I dont remember much of it...

      Kahr Arms

      I have a Kahr PM40 that I have owned for maybe 20 years. Sometimes It used to break the plastic magazine follower on the last round. After replacing 5 or 6 of them, I finally gave up and load my first round in magazine with a dummy snap cap. That way it doesnt slam the empty follower into the...

      Over/Under Rifles

      I owned one of the Valmet 412s, 30.06, back in the 1980s. OK gun but nothing to brag about.

      When you're browsing the classifieds for guns, which brands/ types do you ignore?

      I am too old to hunt anymore so not interested in hunting rifles or shotguns. Have never been interested in antiques or military guns. So mostly interested in handguns.

      Ludco, the saga ends.

      I was in there a couple times several years ago. I have never seen such a small building holding so many guns.

      ISO rockchucker press (supporter)

      I have been using an RCBS Rockchucker for at least 40 years. Tens of thousands of rounds loaded and still works as good as new.
