    Yes, I, too, read this, somewhere along the way, and “listened.” I have some few boxes of the higher-tier/+P ammo, but, it is relegated to lever-action carbine use. Unless it is particularly...

    Every time I think that I have finally escaped being tempted by the G34, y’all pull me back in… ;)

    Of course, as many G17 pistols as I have, I could buy a G34 upper unit, rather than an entire...

    Well, I just ordered a pre-owned, stainless Ruger Single Six, 5.5”, .22 WMR. No .22 LR cylinder. My other single action sixguns being .45, I had long planned to add a smaller bore.

    Of the two, I would definitely go with 10mm. I wrecked my K/L-Frame-sized hands, especially my right hand, in the Eighties, first and worst with a 4” S&W Model 629, then with .41 Magnum Model 58 and...

    Subscribed. Astigmatism is my nemesis, with most dot sights. Corrected or uncorrected. The Trijicon green triangle worked well, in my case, but only in appropriate lighting conditions; not best for...

    I do have to be careful, because, well, Collectors Firearms is in nearby Houston, and, they have a lay-away plan. Someday, I would like to add a more-or-less birth-year SAA, which means...

    The “Westerns” on TV did not influence my youthful mind to desire single-action sixguns and lever-action rifles, so, I was late in buying my first, which was a US Patent Firearms Single Action, in...

    If one ALWAYS has a flagged thumb, covering the hammer, during the draw, and during reholstering, a modest-sized hammer spur is not an impediment. I am as likely to pocket carry my spurred SP101 and...

    Not that I can recall. If so, not for about 50 years. I think that my mother may have bought something like that, for me, when I was a kid. I think it was a t-shirt, not a jersey.

    We are well-set. The AR/M4 system is totally optional, for us. We have several, but do not “need” them.

    Benelli M2, 12 gauge. (Have two, one with ghost ring sights. Realistically, I could get by,...

    “Drop-in” barrels CAN require fitting. The “few” failures to go into battery reinforce this statement. Regardless, this adds a variable.

    “USPSA Carry Optics” means that it is a match game/sport...

    Enjoy!

    I am VERY envious of those who can run “up to the desert” for some shooting! No opportunities to shoot freely, more than a few rounds, on publicly-owned land, here in SE Texas. I can hunt,...

    1. I cannot address lasers, based upon hands-on experience. I was not allowed to use lasers, on or off the clock, on firearms, while I worked for a PD. I have no idea how much light output any TRL...

    Yes, it is a shame that the owner of USFA seemed to have just stopped caring, and let USFA fall apart. The Standard is certainly well-fitted and well-finished. I have yet to shoot it.

    The BLR has a VERY complex bolt assembly. It received some early praise, for being AR15-like, in design, but design and execution can be different, in the real world.

    The current Browning BLRs are Miroku-made. (Current meaning since some time in the Eighties, I would think.) Mine have only been lightly used, and only with .308 Winchester ammo, not 7.62 NATO, so, I...

    Plus, my $0.02. Mine is actually a G19x, but, it has a G45 upper, that I bought already milled for an ACRO, so, is a half-G45.
