Show us your Guns!

[DesertDan]

Smith 442 (no lock) incoming, ordered my Lobo Leatherworks IWB holster as well. This will become my "always" gun replacing the P32 (though I still love this little pistol and I'm sure it will continue to follow me around )

I keep intending to get a soulless, plastic 9mm bullethose but every time I try some stray wheelgun ends up following me home.

Please tell us you didn't buy a pink one? :eeek:

 

[Justin B]

Funny how it seems like every other post here is from a Texan. Guess that means I need to take some photos of my pattern 14 enfield.

 

[DesertDan]

A pink one of what? [huh]

Pink guns are a big seller here, actually! Guys buy them for their wives, and that's bigger than ever with Concealed Carry on its way here.

The only thing I don't love is the 'look' of the trigger, I'm more of a short or medium without the ventilation, how much d'ya think it would cost to change that?.....

This is something any owner should be able to do themselves, for only the cost of the replacement part. For instance

"EXTRA" Recovering gun collector falls off the wagon after 20 years

After a 20 year dry spell of not purchasing guns I just snagged a 1959(my birth year) manufacture Marlin Golden 39A in mint condition perfectly broken in. I upgraded the sights to Skinner black & gold peep sights and now this rifle is now a real tack driver. The only down side is that I live in NJ, the most restricted state in the union for gun owners, so going out to a field and plinking is completely out of the question. For now it's controlled shooting on a 75 foot indoor range. There's something magical about a good old fashioned American lever gun!

You will certainely enjoy that one. I have one a bit older, a 1952 model my Dad bought when I was in the second grade. Mine predates the gold trigger and lacks the pistol grip cap. I often wonder how many thousands of rounds I have shot through it in all these years. I have big plans for it, we are getting a grandson later this month,& I am planning on a lot of nice things for him to inherit.

Hey jkingrph, I can't think of a better heirloom to share with your grandson! I hope to do the same one day.

Oh, thank goodness! That's much better. Phew!

You wouldn't know that by watching the Sopranos....

 

[Oldsarge]

Of course not. Gun laws only apply to the law abiding. Everyone but politicians know that.

Well phrased! That's another reason I'm looking at Tennessee and Kentucky for my next move - the best gun laws out of the states my wife will let me choose from....

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh, if I had a nickel for every time I've said this!

Of course not. Gun laws only apply to the law abiding. Everyone but politicians know that.

I've been to Chattanooga. What a wonderful little town (that's little by California standards). They have six colleges, their own symphony orchestra, opera company, ballet company, at least one legitimate theater, a world class art museum, a world class aquarium, a half-mile wide river through the middle of town and if you live in the suburbs no one is upset if you walk out the back door with your shotgun and dog and go huntin'. If only they had a better selection of restaurants I'd move in a heartbeat.

Outside Ft Campbell, Ky-down the road towards Clarksville-across the state

I have one similar. I cannot for the life of me remember the model number, but same configuration but a sacandium or titanium frame and barrel shroud. Extremely light weight, I hardly realize it is in my pants pocket, but recoil is stiff with standard 38 loads, and really stout with +p loads.

 

[Oldsarge]

No doubt! However, 'serious social shooting' has the same effect on one's adrenal glands as being given the beady eye by a Cape buffalo . . . while standing in the middle of the herd! You don't hear the report and you don't feel the recoil one little bit, even with a .450 Rigby Rimless (or a +p load in a flyweight .39).
