Shoot it once or twice and then put it up for the youngin's....

Those Sig P238 are looking more and more interesting every time I see a pic.......would love to shoot one sometime.

Had fun today guys. Miss the ones whom didn't show up of course.... Sundays would work well for me as I'll start having them off in the next week or so. Do we want to go ahead and start an October thread to give peeps time to get their scooby snacks in order so they can come play?? Mac, thanks for the use of the ammo and I'll definatly get ya back next time. Now I need to get more ammo....I'm starting to run a little low......darn annual memberships...

I've carried the Hornady CD in my G26 for about a month or so. Fantastic stuff....so far. I've bought and shot all the "hottest sh*t" on the market for my G19 and G26 (including the short barrel GoldDots). Personally, the Hornady 9MM 124GR HP/XTP or the 9MM 124GR TAP became my first choices depending on what was available....until the CD came out. I first I was hesitant about dropping to 115GR but the expansion properties are supposed to be slightly better with the CD plus you get a little more FPS. Not much but a little. So I figured I'd give them a shot. They shoot and feed perfect in my Glocks and so far they seem to put my mind at ease about carrying them....after all, it's Hornady ammo.

We'd certainly enjoy seeing more faces at these outings and I guess next time we need to try to give more than a few days heads up to give them a chance to change current plans.....

I kinda agree with Hatmaker on this one. Character is tons better than a new finish as long as the gun in it's current state, isn't in so bad of shape that further use of it will end up getting you killed. Harsh TN climate can do that kinda thing to a gun....

I'd like to see some better pics but looks good from what I can tell....

I carried a G19 and went to a G26 for better concealability for the spring/summer/fall seasons. Smaller is better when wearing shorts and t-shirt or like "light" attire. Camping or hiking or doing yard work, my G26 in it's CompTac IWB is the most comfortable thing I've carried to date. The G19 is a little bulky and prints easier when in shorts and t-shirt but I have no issues carrying a full sized 1911 in the winter since I have more bulky cloths to conceal it better. Long story short, if you like Glocks and you like the 9mm caliber, get both. One for winter which can be easier to handle in gloves (G19) and one for the rest of the year (G26)....... It's the only way to go.....more guns = <- you

As accurate as any of the sub-Glocks/XD's can be, you have better control and stability with a compact. IF you're going to shoot IDPA, you'd be a fool to get something smaller and more sub-compact. Of course it could be done and I'm sure it has been done by someone, but your score will be better with a gun that fully fits in your hand.

Bring what you want to it sure won't hurt.....looks like my shippment should be in tomarrow but you never can tell. Wasn't planning on shooting a lot with the .357 but it'd be nice to excersize it a little....

I heard from a birdie that a few fellows are heading up to Norris range again this upcomming Saturday Sept 5th around 1pm. Wondering who all is planning on showing up this time and what ya bringing?? I should be there and plan on bringing my SKS, my Glocks, my Highpoint 995 and I might have an AB-10 by that time....if I do, I'll bring my Tec-9 as well. Hoping my .357 ammo will arrive by Saturday so I can bring my Papaw's S&W.....

Thanks for the replies guys. I've had several people look at pics and check it out "hands on". The average range it seems to be valued at is around $5000. Good enough for me. I've been given some great advice on how to take care of it a preserve it further for future generations. Thanks for all the help guys......

Ehh....get an SKS. They're fun and inexpensive and there's tons of silly "taticool" crap you can have done to em'..........

Come on out to Norris range this Saturday and shoot with the guys. It'll be worth your time and effort. The guys are great and we all can show/teach you proper saftey and how to shoot. By the time you leave the range you'll have more confidence about you and your weapon and how to use it as well. Besides, why wait longer than you have to. You bought it to protect yourself, why not let us help you reach that goal...

I own both a G19 and a G26. Had the grip extensions for using the G19 mags in the G26.....got rid of 'em. They served no real purpose except using a hi-cap mag at the range. If you're going to carry a G26 with the mag extensions, you might as well carry a G19 and get the extra inch on the barrel for accuracy. Besides with a 15rnd G19 mag in a G26, it makes it bottom heavy and can affect accuracy in a SHTF situation..... Just go with the G19 and call it a day. The G19 is one of the best ballanced handguns out there and is very easy to carry and maintain. And the rumors about shooting your butt off while reholstering....well, guess that depends on how ignorant one can be while trying to reholster. Usually there isn't a time restraint on reholstering and there's no need to hurry and get your weapon holstered either.... Of course, a compact XD-9 "service" is just as good as a Glock 19. Either firearm will work perfectly fine......just go with the compact vs. the sub-compact since you want to shoot IDPA

I guess it'd actually depend on demand. Some may be interested in some of those and some may not. The only thing I'd be interested in would be the AB-10, but I've had a Tec-9 so I'm familiar with it.

Unless you really have to.........tucking in your shirt is for sissies. Milt Sparks are pretty good holsters. A lot of people are digging the Cross Breed and CompTac holsters for 1911's being IWB. Of course you have to take crap from the leather purists!!!

As far as the 7.62x39 and 9mm goes, I've never had an issue. Then again the SKS and my Glocks can eat anything with no problems. The Wolf Mil Classic shoots better than any of the military surpluss I've had to date in 7.62x39.....

Thanks. Didn't mean to derail the thread. Kinda showing the OP what the possibilities of the SKS can be......

Hehe....actually, I am a little low. That's 19 Tapco 20 rounders full and what 375 rounds between the Wolf and Surpluss boxes and then another 40rounds of Winchester....maybe 800rds sitting there in the pic..........so yeah, gettin' low. Absoutly. No issues with feeding. I modded/grinded my bolt to mimic the "D" models' bolt that use the AK mags. That way I can insert/remove the Tapco mags without having to hold the bolt open. Check out Survivors SKS boards. TONS of info there and a lot of great people to help you out with questions or mods. Everything I have done to improve my SKS, came from here: Chinese

I've just gotten through building my Norinco SKS from parts. There's a thread in Show and Tell about it. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have set mine up to be a defensive shooter to around 100yrds. Things I've done to mine include: New spring loaded firing pin Albanian bolt carrier New gas piston Tapco T-6 stock with Tapco 20rd mags UTG Tri-rail receiver cover mount BSA Red Dot Modded the bolt to mimic a "D's" bolt (allows insert/removal of Tapco/AK mags) (in the mail) I have a seperate trigger group on it's way to "Kavari" for a trigger job and to have the sear polished. He turns it into a true two stage trigger. All I need to do is get it Duracoated and I'll be done..... Here she is in all her glory...

PM sent on this. Thanks man.

This is my Great GrandFathers pistol handed down through the years and now my father has it. Soon it will be mine even though it's not really worth much. The only things I really know are, the U.S. Revolver Co. was actually Iver Johnson's Arms and Cycle Works. It seems to be a late 1800's or early 1900's model but there is little info out there on them. Just figured I'd post a little more history here since I posted my Father-Inlaws Navy Colt Revolver. On the top of the barrel it says: U.S. Revolver Co. Made in USA On the bottom of the trigger is 24680, with the 24 being smaller than the 680. I was told by my father that this was an issued Calvery Officers pistol in WW1 but some how I think my father is lieing.

Pics added.

Congrats Jhatmaker........
