Sweet guns, Joe and Hal! :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Glad y’all are on my side

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

It is an Armi San Marco (imported by Connecticut Valley Arms) Colt 1851 Navy reproduction. Picked up some helpful info from a gun show pal today. Probably worth about $150.
Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Yeah, thanks. This Armi San Marco will probably fetch about $150.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

They are nice firearms.

My new 1911 arrived today :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Looks good. What is it?

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Rock Island TAC II Ultra CS

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Rock Island is really putting out some nice looking firearms that don't break the bank. Excellent pick up. :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

100 rounds down the pipe today, not one hiccup :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Yeah it looks fantastic. I have a thing for 1911's. :)

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Couple of beauty shots, cleaned and oiled.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I've always liked Rock Island Armory, and tehy keep getting better.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Was planning to hit the outdoor range but it won't quit snowing. :gary

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

What's wrong with a bit of snow? It muffles things!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Not much snow here but cold! Luckily I have an indoor handgun range at work, rifle no luck.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Posting up my EDC. Have tried a few different pistols, but keep coming back to this Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 40. I use the MagGuts magazine extender, so the flush magazine holds seven instead of six, plus one in the chamber. 8 rounds of .40 s&w plus an 8 round spare gives me a lot of peace of mind. Displayed with one of my carry methods, my DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Very nice Joe, I switch my EDC between the Shield 9 and .45

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Thinking of saving up for a Glock 23. Anyone have any experience with this version?

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Better one than none. :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Never had a 23, but you can't go wrong with a Glock.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

My next pickup on Friday. A Heritage Arms 6 shot .22 mag/.22 lr revolver for checking my traps.

Looks like everyone has been picking up some good wares lately.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I believe Dick’s had those for $100 on Black Friday.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Waiting on a new rifle to be paid off so I look at other stuff in the mean time. Anyone looked at or own one of these new Life Cards? Interesting little pistol. Also these CMR-30's look interesting as well. The PMR is the pistol but I like the looks and idea of the CMR which is the carbine 30rd .22 WMR. What's your :2

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

FYI- PalmettoStateArmory has their .223/5.56 federal ammo at super low prices with the rebate. Sale runs until 12/31 -(P

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

My woods gun got some street duds...

http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...ual%20Duds.jpg

Out in the woods I have a Sherpa OWB that I carry the 10mm in, but it's not exactly a concealable combination for going into town after the hunt. Surprisingly, this IWB is actually pretty comfortable and conceals pretty good considering the size of this guy.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

took the plunge and got a Ruger LC9s the other day. Any advice on good accessories or holsters?

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Depends on how you want to carry it Michael.

Kydex are great but in my opinion not too comfortable against the skin.
Bianchi has a pretty nice inside the waist band clip on

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I'm actually considering a shoulder holster but cant decide which one. Since I am usually wearing my shirt tucked in I don't think I could conceal it in my waist.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I have an inside the waist bianchi for my Makarov that lets it sit low enough its barely visible. Yes this impedes my draw speed but concealabilty is great. My XDM I just ordered an Alienware that will let my laser fit in it too.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

How does that holster attach to the belt? I'm usually a fan of loops with snaps rather than many of the talon shaped clips used by most holster makers.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

It has a belt clip on the other side, not loops. The side that is facing up goes against the body. Personally I prefer the belt clip for the ease/quickness of removing it. I believe one of RDR's options are snap loops though.

http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...elt%20Clip.jpg

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Okay. Some of those clips are pretty positive, and hold up well. Naturally, width/thickness of your belt plays a part too.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I have several of their holsters, each with the clip and haven't had any issues with the clip itself.

[Full disclosure, I do not have any direct connection to this company. Remo turned me onto them a couple of years ago and I have been a satisfied customer with several purchases.]

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Swapped off an "extra" AR-15 at the show this weekend, for a barely used Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm pistol, the full size version. S&W claimed that all the 2.0's have better triggers than the originals. (I sort of think they're fudging a bit there.)

Well, this one I bought, they definitely got the internals right on it. Darn near as good as installing an Apex kit.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

The last month or so S&W or their distributors must have offered some great rebates on the J-frame five shot .38 special revolvers. Was able to get a model 442 for $340 out the door, taxes included last week. No external key lock on these, even better.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Dang thats pretty cheap! Nice score!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Picked up my six year old a new .22 to teach her how to shoot. She hit the two inch metal target at twenty five yards on her first shot. She did great!

Great Hal, need to get my girls shooting :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

started both my kids at the age of 6. Been around firearms all their life and they tell me all the time they have more respect for life and firearms than most of their classmates.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Awesome! :tu
