Glock is missing out on a good opportunity to make money. They need to release a magazine with similar capacity.
Yes they would but Gaston created perfection and one can't mess with Gastons perfection.

Or at least til he dies. Ruger made a few changes since old Bill died. I suspect Glock might do the same.
Correct and lovable Gaston divorced the wife and wrote the family out of his will,un less things have changed recently.

My latest acquisition (G22) is now in my hands. I am very pleased with it. The internals show no real sign of wear. External is nice except for minor holster wear. The gun plus 3 mags was $329. Hard to find deals these days. I probably shouldn't have bought it as I already had two G22s. Just can't pass up a bargain, especially these days. I am going to convert a couple of the G22s to 9mm and 357sig. I already have the conversion barrel and RSA for 9mm. Just need to pick up a 357sig barrel.
You did the correct thing,One is none, two is one, three is a pair.

Uberti carbine in 45LC and Cimarron (made by Uberti) Pistoleer 45LC revolver. Local gunshop owed us money, so yay for me. Picked up the revolver, but the carbine had to be ordered and he says it won't be here till January, which is fine.

The revolver is kind of a weird color scheme; blued frame, cylinder & barrel, with nickel backstrap and trigger guard and polished hammer sides, but I actually like it. My only other .45LC single-action is an El Patron which is definitely nicer/fancier finish-wise, but this one just struck me for some reason.

Best part is that it’s a caliber that I not only reload, but also cast my own bullets for, so primers & powder are the only shooting cost involved.



A SxS shotgun and you are ready to go cowboy shooting in a SASS match,Congrats.

You may want to look into a cartridge called 45 Cowboy Special,to be used interchangeably in 45 colt chambered guns,with the addition of a carrier to be used in the 1873 rifle.

This carrier allows the use of Cowboy .45 Special

Just so happens one of my best friends invented and developed the cartridge and the CAS world was thankful.

Ya, the SKS is still beefy, but is much closer to the balance we are used to in the States. Hang on to that Norinco, they are pretty desirable these days. I turned down $400 several years ago for the TULA and paid $50 for it IIRC, so it was a decent investment If I were motivated.
Those days of SKS's at 59.99 to 79.99 were great bargins and we will never see the likes of them again.

Probably not. I recall Mak90’s running $129 at that time.
In the late 80’s M1 carbines were running $125 and surplus bulk ammo was stupid cheap.
We can’t predict the next surplus arms dump but look forward to it. If it ever happens.
Speaking of cheap Blue Sky import M 1 carbines, the shop I frequented was selling us surplus carbine ammo for 3 cents apiece,did I ever burn thru scads of it.

GT Dist is listing a FHP trade in G37 for $289. That is the first one of those I have seen. Not sure who would want one. I can hardly believe that the FHP went with 45GAP. How many ammo manufacturers do you think are cranking out 45GAP these days?
Very few and difficult to find pre Wu Flu/riots,don't even want to think about it now.

Picked this up, figured I'd unload some of the mountain of 40 S&W I'm constantly dodging in something other than my G 22.

I think it’s awesome they brought them back!
This particular one is new old stock, when I spoke with my dealer about the transfer he said I hope you are able to get it as they are non existent now days,I was fortunate.

This covers the 610 manufacturing dates. Original was like 1990-1992, then late 90’s, lastly they did a run in 2019.
Thanks for the info.
Well I finally used my CABELA’S points I’ve been sitting on for ages.

Usually not a DA/SA fan but it’s pretty light and adjustable.
came with 2 mags but I have some military surplus mags I’ve been sitting on for probably 15 years. I always felt I’d get a 92 sometime down the road.
Nice shooter, Congrats on a fine gun.

Speaking of long range guns,heres one I have had for the past 40 something years.

Product Air gun Trigger Liquid Gun accessory

It is a 1874 C. Sharps rifle 45 2 1/10" Hartford,tripple A fancy wood 30" rust blued barrel,Axtell sights.
When I was 21 me and my brother who was 2 years younger ordered it and oh how we argued over the features it was to have, we agreed on barrel length,wood and finish. What we couldn't agree on was butt style, my brother wanted a pistol griped shotgun butt and I wanted a pistol griped rifle butt,ended up flipping a quarter and I came up tails and now all these years latter I'm glad I lost.
About 15 years back I bought my brother out and have used it to compete in BPCR and SASS long range matches, it has won many first places by many more shooters than just myself. I get a kick out of introducing folks to the joys of distance black powder shooting. In N.H. a range we shoot at opened up some land to a bit beyond 1000 yards and this couple were watching a small group of us ringing a life size buffalo out there,I asked if they wanted to give it a try and they did. The husband with coaching hit the buff 3 out of five and his wife hit it 4 out of five and oh did she rub it in but what pleased me was she told him "we need to get one of those".

That looks like a Quigley Rifle!!!!!! I love that movie, regardless!!!!!!!!
YuP,the only thing identical to the Quigley rifle is the sights as before Montana Vintage Arms,Axtell was the only game for quality sights for Sharps,Rollers,Stevens and Hepburn riles

Bought? None.

Picked up after mandated time out? Heritage Barkeep.

2" barrel single action .22 LR.

I liked the concept, but the stock grips that come with it are hideous.

View attachment 251263

So I fixed it...

View attachment 251264


I got the Birds Head grip and .22 WMR cylinder from Heritage direct and found the wood grips elsewhere.

Looks so much better now. I have no idea why Heritage doesn't sell it in this configuration in the first place.


Fits my hand perfectly as well.

And makes a great companion piece to my centerfire single action.

Picked up a SA Hellcat RDP this past weekend,think I have the perfect EDC,size,weight and features, now to get my favorite Holster maker to produce a shoulder holster and AIWB for it of kydex.
Picked up as well 2 of the 15 round magazines,can't see myself carrying the P 80's G 19 any longer as this gun offers what I want in the way of a EDC gun.

Please do a range report when you got some time with that model Hellcat. I’m interested to see how much you like it. Thanks!
Will do,I'd like to get it to the range Monday or Tuesday of next week.
