Starting to get the itch

With that said, have you looked into a Sig P229 elite stainless.

I look into one all the time. In fact, every time I take it apart to clean it after a day at the range. Nice suggestion though. It is one of my favorite guns. :)

I guess some people are okay with being a blasphemer.

funny part is, I agree.:rolleyes:

I would rather shoot a .45, but I've got over 10,000 9mm bullets to reload............sooooooooo. What a better excuse than that to buy a firearm?:cool:......................................ck

Shop around and find a cool old S&W m659 or other 9mm pistol. Do not perpetuate the further raping of the 1911 platform by having it turned into a wimpy peashooter. :D
 
It appears to me that you might have a dearth of fine old Smith and Wesson revolvers. Pinned barrels and recessed chambers (on magnums and rimfires) are a must, and four or five screws is a definite plus.

You could start with a nice K-22 Masterpiece. As we are fond of saying down here, "It just don't get no better than that."

You have a fine collection, and several of these would only add a touch of class.

Forgive me if you already have this area covered.

This gun needs the PBP polish up and some outstanding wood grips.

Perfect companion to your Dan Wesson CBOB.

gunsamerica also is showing a 125 year anniversary new unfired Smith in case for $1200 ( just beautiful!!!!) and a Lew Horton high gloss nickel (looks just like chrome) 44 magnum revolver with a unique tapered barrel unfired in pristine shape for $975(spectacular gun).

The guy even has a pair of unfired revolvers he's selling.

Don't ya just love the internet? :D

You going to loan me the money for all these suggestions? I was talking about spending less than $500 but I am more than willing to expand that number if you are doing the financing. :D

I would not be too interested in the 10mm revolver though. I think revolvers chambered for auto calibers are an abomination. :D
 
Time to get a nice shotgun for skeet shooting.
Do something a little different, and help your marksmanship at the same time.

Hear Hear! Moon clips and demooning tools - what a PITA
 
I have been thinking about this a little bit since my last post. Again, from your posts, you are mechanically inclined. What about taking a gunsmithing class? You know the old saying..."teach a man to fish". This is a good way to learn more about a hobby that you enjoy.
 
I'm in roughly the same boat as I have everything I really want. I've been experimenting with different grips for my 1911s so I can change the look and feel. I put Alumagrips on my Dan Wesson Pointman yesterday and I really like the look & feel...

:D sorry 'bout that.

I'm as broke as it gets as well.

And I'm with you with the clips for bullets type thing for revolvers.

On Monday,I traded in a PT101 40 S&W on a primo new quality used Stainless 6 inch barrel Smith and Wesson 617 22 LR revolver.

Then on Tuesday,I went back and traded in a High Standard six inch barrel blued 22 LR revolver for a snub satin nickel High Standard 22 LR snub that I will use to fire double action speed drills so I can improve my double action snub shooting.

The Smith was $600-$240(for the trade in)=$360 out of pocket.

The snub was $200-$90=$110 out of pocket.

So for $470 out of pocket,I have one of the finest rimfire target revolvers you can buy(which I will keep for the rest of my life) and one of the best revolvers High Standard ever put out.

This revovler has metal side panels unlike the revolver it replaced and it is built to a very high standard (forgive the pun).

But get this.

In that gunshop,was a 1903 380 Colt pistol in 98% condition for $750.

And it said 1903 on the side.

and it also said U.S.Property on the side as well.

They had no documentation of it's origin and the gun appeared to have had a reblue done but IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

It also had a bizarre barrel end where it was like there was a combination bushing and round barrel end weight on it.

I know I walked away from a $2000 pistol that was selling for $750 but I am not a pistolsmith and there are no parts availible for it,if it is just a no firing pretty pistol.

Still-since 1982 I have been looking for that pistol in that condition.

But I live with my decisions and that Smith is also a gun I've wanted a very long time and the High Standard was simply too great a gun to let someone else get at that price.

I will run a million rounds through these guns and enjoy every shot I take.

Go shoot some of your guns!
 
Guns you can always buy for the heck of it, even if you have one you can always use one more:

1. Makarov
2. RIA compact
3. Used 3rd Gen S&W
4. police trade in G21
5. Sig P6
 
Good purchase on that Smith. As for the one that got away, if we all bought every bargain we came across we would be hoarding our guns in a cardboard box which we were also living inside. :)
