The Gun Thread

True. Having said that, DW's favorite is my 629 S&W with 6" barrel. I load it with .44 Specials. It's heavy but packs a wallop with manageable recoil.

I suspect now that Shabby's gun is a crack barrel .410

Nice gun.

Nice gun.

That was just a file photo.

Shabby, don't feel obliged to go digging through the gun cabinet (or closet).
We can wait.

That scope can use caps or a rag over the lens. Sitting upright like that dust and stuff will settle on it and make it hard to see

Lol. I know. I thought that was it, but no.

I’m more concerned about anyone who’s trying to peek through the window…

There’s normally a curtain there, but the cat pulled it down, and I am too short to put it back up

6.5 Creedmoor is kind of a specialty round not ordinarily a beginner round

 

[sdm111]

You aren’t kidding…

It does look very similar.

Have you been looking in my window

I have always called the Garand clips clips and the AR style stripper clips. They also make some plastic ones that are for rapid loaders in almost any caliber. I think they are not made anymore but they had a square plastic square with five tracks on it that would hold 50 rounds. That stripper would fit into a device with a push bar to shove the ammo down into the mag. And there are half moon and full moon clips that would hold 45acp as a speed loader for the S&W 645 revolver. View attachment 3687588View attachment 3687590

My son bought a loaded M1 Garand clip at a gun show, he was so excited. Now all he needs is the M1 Garand oh, and the "ejection ting" is his notification sound on his phone

.410?

Good starter gun for hunting

We used to have a Big Bore handgun league for years at my range. I would shoot a lot of different large caliber handguns but my favorite was a 629 six inch with dot sight that I shot .44 Special light loads. I turned the wadcutter bullets backwards to make full wadcutters and to take up more space in the mag brass to avoid fowling the cylinder and not build up excessive pressure. Y'all are giving me the itch for more range time. Yeah, I'm a Jones'n now.
