If you insist...

My H&K USP .40 makes me happy  This is a 1993 model, the first year the USP was made available. Since then they have changed....nothing.

Brought these home recently. My dad's Colt .38 personal carry piece (peace officer) that he carried from the '50s thru '70s. And a German piece I think/thought my grandfather brought home from France during WW1. A Mauser pocket pistol, that I know nothing about. Value??

It is crudely (uneven) stamped 1920 on the side. I assumed that was some kind of armory inventory number. Hummm . . .

thanks,

Just bought a 38sp last sat. Its a Braztech, which was bought by Rossi, which was bought by Taurus.  Went to get a Taurus ultra light like Kits  but the Rossi was 1 finger longer on the grip and felt better. Very accurate at 50'. Picking up a custom holster in the morning a guy made for me.

I waited for this new gun, a Henry Mare's Leg, from last October to about 3 weeks ago.  Finally got it in, manufacturing and shipping were delayed due to hurricane Sandy.  .44 magnum
Picture doesn't do it justice, the brass and bluing are top notch!

When did Henry start making them? I can only find Rossi around here. Almost bought 1 over the winter but I didn't like the big loop on the lever. Be fine if I wore gloves like in the winter but I don't go in the fields during the winter. 
But if Winchester starts making them.....

I have been looking all over for a 2" model 15 Smith (face to face in VA only). . . .  I love K frames (in blue only).

Anyone who does not love K frames must be . . . . (not a politically correct thought).

72 killed in Boston resisting gun confiscation!

Seventy-two killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston
...
BOSTON
Army units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and... law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily." Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington 's town park, Army Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the Army units.

Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist faction, remain at large.

. . . And this, people, is how the American Revolution began .

We should never forget the lessons history teaches us. Citizen ownership of Firearms are a big reason the USA has survived this long.

Anyone who does not love K frames must be . . . .   uninformed (and likely younger)

Very nice.   

66, 14, 13, 10................ but no 2" 15  .

I think it is noteworthy that of the zillions of more modern (used) autos for sale, it is hard finding cherry K-frames, cause the owners are not parting with them.

Trying to figure out what would be the best high powered rifle that would work as a sniper style rifle. Looking to be new York compliant (bolt action or a five round magazine). Would also like the bullets to be reasonably priced. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have two Remington 700 Police... One in .223 and this one in .308. The .308 I was shooting it in 600 yard F- Class match. And the .223 at 300 yard.

As for ammo I load my own.
