Do you feel the same way about Mausers? The reason for it started way back when. You could buy a surplus military rifle for next to nothing, and turn it into a hunting rifle for a fraction of the cost of a new rifle. Money was tight, so this was an attractive option. It is also nice to have a custom rifle built just for you, so it is an art form that has stayed with us. The "Bubbafacation" of guns is another matter.

My LCP has two springs around the giude rod.

I've worked outdoors my entire life. Last month was the first time ever I've had any problems overheating....i guess that was what it was. We took the children to a theme park for two days. I felt fine. The next day, I woke up and didn't feel very well, but went to work. As the day went on, I began to feel worse. I decided to come home, and on the way home I began to shiver; more like convulsing uncontrollably. In 100 degree heat, I drove home with the heat on full blast, still shivering. When I finally got home and got out of the truck, everything turned dark, and I had to sit down a few minutes before continuing into the house. I put on a heavy coat, turned the air off, and got into bed under the covers and laid there until late the next day. I felt a bit better then, but it took about a week to get back to normal. As I said, this has NEVER happened to me, and I stayed hydrated; I thought. I never felt bad until the following day. I also found it odd that my wife and kids had no ill effects.

I would suggest you also aquire a good double layer gun belt to go with your holster. With a larger gun, the quality belt is essential. Without it, you won't be happy with the finest holster available. Cool gun!

What did you have in mind?

I'm not saying this trying to hurt your feelings, but you've already our $40 in parts in a $20 gun. When you're in a hole, stop digging. I imagine excessive headspace is to blame assuming the slide spring provides enough resistance to fully close the slide.

I'll take em all!

There were a whole sheetload of 45 rounds, pinfire, rimfire, and centerfire. There wasn't but one 45 Colt that I was aware of.

You have mail. Please respond.

The last gun I bought at a pawn shop was what appeared to me an unfired, mint model 70 Winchester in 30-06 for $299 out the door! I don't call that overpriced.

S&W Forum You can learn more than you'd ever want to know here about a Smith and Wesson.

Words to live by. I'm glad I have boys.

If you feel a gun is overpriced you can always make a reasonable offer on it. I've found very few pawn shops where cash doesn't get their attention.

Ya gotta post pics!!!!

Sure. Everbody wants it!

1946.

PM me.

Wonderful! Give the little guy a bug TGO hug for all of us.

I stand corrected! You learn something new every day.

$17.97 plus tax for 20 rounds is a dollar a pop. OUCH!!!

In fact, 45 Colt is THE name of the cartridge. There is no 45 Short Colt. I don't know why people insist on adding the "Long" moniker to it.

Sure. They make a mount for that.

I need a lot of practice on the carving, but you've got to start somewhere.

I've bought some interesting stuff in pawn shops. The fact is that I buy stuff that a lot of people don't know about or care about. I'm as likely to buy a gun from a pawn shop as anywhere else. I'll buy a gun in a whore house if the price is right.
