I find it hard to load them here, but will try tomorrow.

My Winchester 94 finally arrived home Wednesday, after I freed it from layaway (along with a S&W I-Frame .32 long). I plan to refinish it. So @Snavebaexpect some questions from me, when I get started on this project.
The serial number (188XXXX) indicates it was produced in 1952.

I’ll toss out another vote for the Taurus TX22! Bought one several years ago and it quickly became my favorite .22. So much so, that I gave my Ruger MkII Target pistol to my dad. I just never shot it anymore, after buying the Taurus. I’m very interested in buying the TX22 Compact model now.

Crossroads Firearms on Broadway, in Knoxville, had one a couple of weeks ago.

Oboes are my go too, but they’ll run you $180+ or -.

I believe so, but I am not the most educated on the Walther brand and I could be wrong.
Should say on the roll mark.

IMO, there is not very little difference between the MP, Hellcat, P 365, Glocks, Ruger Max 9/ LCP, or any of the mid-range priced "Fantastic Plastic" Mini or Micro pistols. These are pistols in the 400 to 500 dollar range. All are fairly cheap and very reliable pistols. My 3 MP have been flawless with anyone I allow to shoot them.
I agree. To me they are all about the same. I know pop pop and I both settled on the Max 9. Mine has the CTS1550 RDS on it.

I think you’ll be very happy with the TX!

Acknowledging that @Moped has keenly developed enabling skills and therefore ask he, or anyone local, keep an eye open for one of the S&W 432 UC (.32 H&R mag) that Lipsey's was so instrumental in bringing to reality.
It's not that I need one but Man! Do I ever want one.
That's $500.00 worth of useful custom work rolled into a reasonable factory price. No fluff, just a serious little pocket revolver.
TIA
Jamie, Crossroads Firearms in Knoxville didn't have the .32 H&R version, but they did have the 642UC. I handled it last week and was super impressed!!!
I am also looking for the 432 or 632UC. If I run across one, I will let you know, if I don't decide to buy it.

They also have Model 21 Gen 4 .45 acp trade ins on the ckunter for $349 with 4 mags and a bag.
That's also a hell of a deal!!!
Dang it! I got two over in layaway at Crossroads right now. I just don't need a third one in layaway right now!!!
Of course, the Winchester 94, could come out of layaway in the next couple of weeks, so I would only have two in...

I'm thinking I might go get one and put it in layaway. I don't have a .40 short and Wimpy.

Harvey's in Knoxville is listing Gen 4 Glock 22 LE Turn-ins for $269.99. Not sure that deal can be beat. These apparently have the Citrus County Sherriff's Dept. Scroll on the right side of the slide. Comes with 1-15rd mag.

Bumping for a great little gem of a pistol! These make great pocket pistols and have great triggers.

Most days, I carry a LCP Max in my backpack. I belt carry a Ruger Max 9 with a RDS or a S&W 442, the rest of the time.

Happy Birthday!

These are great little pistols! I carried one for several years, until I bought my Max9. My son now has it. GLWS!

It's surprised the heck outta me...but only one member of my family interested in things like slug throwers anymore. So I'm holding a few in reserve for a cousin and his son, but the rest I plan on selling over the next few years. I hope. If we don't all get reamed by the current gubment!
As long as the Government stays out our business, I think at least one of mine will want my small collection of shooters.
@hipower, I am available for adoption, though I’m probably near your age.

Very, very, very slim at this point.

The U.S. military say 4 MOA is acceptable accuracy.

I'm a bit surprised here. CMP has mostly dealt in genuine U.S. military surplus arms. I've never heard of them offering any commercial firearms except maybe a few .22 Target Rifles.
I've always heard good things about Tisas. But then again, they just issued a massive recall on many of their 1911 pistols for a safety issue. The jury is still out for me.
Gotta admit its a good price. But I wonder what kind of hoops you'll need to jump through to get one? They caught my attention, but I'll wait and see.
The recall is for specific models and skews. You can see it here.

Honestly, he’s probably right. But this puts money in CMP’s pockets. I’d bet more money, they probably need that money. No one here really believes the current administration in the White House and the Defense Department is a friend of the CMP. My guess is they’d love to see the CMP go away.

Interesting! Of course SDS is headquartered in Knoxville. I own one their U.S. Army 1911a1s. I found it to be every bit as reliable as the ones I shot in the Army and more accurate.

A .22 revolver is on my next to get list, after I get a Glock 21 out of layaway. I’ll probably go with one of the new Ruger Super Wranglers. Just wish they’d have made them a 9 shot instead of just 6.
