I have had several Springfields. The Mil Spec is my entry level recommendation...good sights, decent trigger, excellent construction and reliability. I carried one in the 90's for several years and a lot of miles. I would ride the river with it again today.

I do love my old wreck of a 97 as I affectionately call my riot gun. When I get into a slump on the sporting clays field I can always count on my 97 to snap me out of it, even though I am teased by the over and under crowd.

At least I have not had to resort to a bad combover! The calling card of the man still trapped in the Disco Days.

SL66, I would like to clear up the board myth! Those were cigar box pictures that I spread out on the table for a picture. I do not have a trophy board in my house. Although we have a "don't ask" policy concerning my relationships, Mrs. Winchester 67 would not stand for that! The cigar boxes are...

Buddy of mine works security for the Vanderbilt Family. He always wears gold chains which are ready money anywhere in the world. I can't go that route...bad enough I drive the Corvette around, add gold chains and I will look like a jail bird that went in back during the Disco 70's and just got...

I put these grips on because it conceals much easier with these in a Galco inside the waistband rig. But I would like to dispel any Superman myths right here: .44 Special loads only when carrying this one. Bigger grips for open carry when hunting!

I am first to admit this is generally a .44 Special in my use of it. But it is crazy light and can handle full house loads if you are wandering around in bear country. It is very difficult to control with 270 Grain Gold Dot soft points but it hits hard and accurately. Afraid the window of me...

Thanks! That is the great thing about the .44 Special...the recoil pulse is milder. Like Anchorite said, some guns or cartridges (or combinations of both) have a recoil pulse that are downright punishing. But the .44 Special being a low pressure cartridge spreads out the recoil punch over a...

So I complain about bigger grips and belt carry of the J Frame, saying that if you are going to do that at least go to a K Frame snubby. Or a three inch J frame for the better sights at the absolute least. But I have to confess, I don't follow that advice very often. If it is a pocket carry day...

Agreed Negolien. If any of the big boys like Brownells or MidwayUSA have a problem it is aired on all of the gun forums.

Worked fine for me in December and just this week with another order. They have a pickup service which is nice because I live in Columbia too. I like the fact they are family owned despite being as big as they are. Larry and Brenda Potterfield started it back in the day and they both still work...

Glad to see you are still at it! Do us a favor, post a little more frequently, ok?

Perhaps it is the paranoid in me, but I like the idea of having skip money on me at all times. Anywhere in the World, the Rolex has value. In the USA, even a pawn shop would give me enough to buy a used motorcycle to get me home no matter where I am. Just saying...

Another vote for the Rolex GMT. My favorite Rolex except the over the top expensive Daytona.

Springfield Armory over Kimber every day of the week for me. Having owned/extensively shot both. Part of that are the features offered. Kimbers in my experience were reliable and accurate, but I don't like the muzzle heavy feel of a cone barrel on their shorter models. Now the shortest 1911 I...

Thanks TurboDog. The life you save might be mine, which is why I encourage all my range buddies to carry a medical kit like I do! I got into the habit during my 30 year stretch as a motorcylist. Like the flat repair kit, I never needed the medical kit either. But sure as shooting, if I had left...

I knew the article must be old. If it was written currently, her occupation would have been list as "Influencer" and we all know what that means.

I have to admit, I am a dirty gun owner when it comes to range toys. But defensive guns I carry I do keep cleaned and greased. When I reassemble it, even though I have stripping a 1911 since I got my first one at age 21, I do rely on a trick a Sherriff in Arkansas taught me when I was fifteen...

I am leery of any information gleaned from the Interwebs, as everyone bills themselves as an expert. I would see if Wilson Combat, Nighthawk Custom or heck even Springfield Armory for that matter. See who people that post under their real verified names and occupations have to say. Brownells and...

Words matter. Like when the news rolls footage of a full auto M-16 in the background when they are talking about AR-15's from the news desk. So yes. I expect people on a gun forum to know the difference between a shotgun and a rifle. How else are newcomers to the sport going to learn the correct...
