You already knew that I'd like it... It just went on my short list too. Thanks for sharing.

It is a good tool. They come in many different sizes and finishes. Mine is a Taurus Public Defender with a two inch barrel and 2 1/2 inch cylinder. That's built on the "smaller" Taurus model 85 frame. You can carry it concealed but it's still a lot of gun to carry, size and weight wise, an...

Just how in the H@ll did he know what was in my safes? I only need to add four more handguns to complete my collection...

Your vote counts. Thank you. Let's go shooting muzzle loaders as soon as the weather warms up a little more.

Thanks again! My go-to favorite hunting spot is a line of two ridge tops with a shallow valley between them so a two hundred yard target is a possibility depending on where I set up. I'll have to shoot my gun a lot more before I get comfortable at that range. I already have a CVA Wolf set up with an...

Thanks for the information! I haven't used Redfields so I appreciate your insight. Under 200 for a really good new scope is very encouraging news. What fixed power do you think is about right for a .50?

Stafford area - I can travel some. I am looking for something in the 91/92% light transmission, power range is flexible. I really like the Bushnell Trophy XLT or equivalent quality. I would like to keep the price between $80 to $130 for a well-used scope but willing to consider better scopes for the...

:enlighten: It's definitely something to pause and think about... Sometimes it just seems like you need more than one to just not feel under-dressed and unprepared. Maybe we can compromise and promise to not shoot them both at the same time. It does seems odd that you can't carry a concealed dirk or...

That sounds great. I will send messages to work out the details.

I have had similar experiences with JDonovan's view on used revolvers in the north east Virginia area. And none are bargain-priced at the stores... I routinely visit most of the gun stores I am aware of that are located between Fredericksburg and the DC beltway. The dealers offer about 35 to 50% val...

Thanks for the good advice TScott. What you are telling me makes perfect sense. I made it into the woods and got a shot in early muzzle loader season... but obviously hadn't completed all my requisite studies beforehand. I had a hang fire with a clean and dry gun. I was confident with shot placement...

I'm surprised nobody lampooned the fat gunsmith who screams something like "hacksawed-off .54 calibre bluderbuss, FIRE IN THE HOLE!" before he pulls the trigger; and then DOES NOT get laughed out of the shop by his fellow workers. Talk about unbelievable. Man, I can't stand that either. T...

I remember...

Welcome from Stafford! Are you ready for archery season yet?

I am glad to see that he successfully appealed for a new judge.

I'm not arguing that you can't legally do it. I'm just pointing out that someone may come along later and cause you untold grief by questioning your judgement as to what the facts were when you did. Just like with poor old Zimmerman. I see what you mean, South West. It's truly a hard and impossible...

Ooops. I missed that there was in fact an injury. My apologies. The specific wording of the topic title still causes my funnybone to spasm some. Am I alone in this? It is funny to me too but it could be even funnier if they had said "embarrassing nocturnal discharge" instead... :hysterical:

Yeah, that was a real Bohn-headed thing alright...

That old GI model is a good looking shooter... You must have good connections. Do you know whether it was deployed? And are those the walnut grips?

So what he was really saying was that you should keep your clothes on in the pistol packing papa's' house too? It is funny.
