Re: Mossberg 500 Tactical conversions

Forgot one: Pistol grips on shotguns: Traditional stocks offer better control and accuracy but I've found my pistol gripped Remington 870 to be surprisingly manageable. Even with 2-3/4" 00 buckshot, I didn't have a problem aiming, shooting and hitting targets. The biggest adjustment for me was ...

Re: Mossberg 500 Tactical conversions

I bought a used Mossberg 500 and turned it into a HD gun. I simply added Hogue furniture, an 18" barrel and a sling. I also have a number of Remington 870s, one of which is also a HD gun. For that gun, I just added the Houge pistol grip, an 18" barrel and a sling. I love pump shotguns and ...

Re: I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

525 would be on the bottom of prices. GunBroker has NIB 92FS starting around 499. M9s are usually not NIB. Go to gunwatcher.com. You just type in what you're looking for and it shows you the best deals. Saved me about 40-50 bucks on my last Ruger LCR purchase. And it's free!!!!!! The cheapest NIB B...

Re: I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

I've got my 92A1 posted up here in another thread. I fell in love with that pistol very quick. Smooth shooter that fits my large hands very well. From what I have been reading the bad rap the M9 gets from US service men and women is partly from guns that are way past their service life and just wor...

Re: I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

I only shot two types of handguns in my Air Force career. We started with the S&W Model 15, Combat Masterpiece (70's and 80's) and switched over to the Beretta M9 in the early 90's. The .38 was so easy to shoot and accurate, I swore we would have trouble with infrequent shooters when we switche...

Re: I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

I am a 1911 guy, but when I shoot for bragging rights, I shoot the 92FS. It is a great piece of firearm engineering. I have been considering buying another from SOG. They are getting in some "new" condition 92-S (I think) pistols. From what I can determine, they differ from the 92 FS by n...

Re: I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

of the four pistols I have been looking at, the Beretta M9 is the only one that anything bad was said about. You may have a better view as your experience with the weapon is longer than my source is old. lol I was told the tolerances are very tight and the slightest dust makes it jam? That doesn't ...

I'm Jones'n for a Beretta M9

I retired from the Army in 2013. I really miss shooting the Beretta M9. It's the gun everyone loved to hate but for some reason, I always shot well with it and can't ever remember getting a jam. Lots of guys hated the M9. Why? Because it wasn't a Glock 19 or a M1911. I never really got into either o...

Re: Need your advice on a new carry revolver

My Ruger LCR-X arrived last week. I cleaned it and it's now my carry gun. It's light enough to put in a pocket of my coat and I hardly notice it's there. I'm now carrying a lot more than I used to. One place I bring it to is into the gym where I work out. It goes in my jacket pocket and into my wall...

Re: Need your advice on a new carry revolver

Lady and Gentlemen, I made my decision and just placed my order. I decided to get a.... (drum roll).... Ruger LCR .38 with the hammer. I ordered it from Sportsmans' Outdoor Superstore. Total damage: $365 + $25 FFL = $390. Sportsmans Outdoors was a bit cheaper than Bud's. Why the Ruger? I kept hearin...

Re: Need your advice on a new carry revolver

You have a couple of old model 10's? Now those are some great revolvers. No adjustable sights, just smooth fun range guns. Isn't that what Barney Fife carried, along with his 1 bullet? Yeah, they're very nice revolvers. The double action trigger pull is buttery-smooth. The single action pull is cri...

Re: Need your advice on a new carry revolver

Thanks for the responses. I already own a Ruger SP101 and a S&W .357 J-frame. Both are good carry guns, though better in my shoulder holster. I was looking for a lightweight version of these guys that I could hide in a pocket more easily without feeling too weighed down. I own a big Ruger GP100 ...

Re: Something nice from Beretta

The 92 is a nice pistol, I just think it shouldn't have replaced the 1911 as standard issue. You'll note that most of the SF community stuck with the 1911, with the Marines first ordering Kimbers, then having Colt build one to spec for them, the M45. ( They look amazingly like my Taurus PT1911AR, B...

Your Dad's old revolver is a treasure. I hope you pass it on and keep it in the family. My Dad only had 2 firearms: a Smith & Wesson Model 442 airweight .38 revolver and a Ruger 10/22 rifle. He was never a "gun guy". To my knowledge, I don't think he even carried the Smith. Just kept i...

Need your advice on a new carry revolver

I'm looking at three .38 caliber revolvers. Not sure what to get. I want something lightweight that I can carry in a pocket holster. I don't want an internal lock. I could go either way on a hammer or hammerless. I love the classic looks of the Smith but think the Ruger is a bit more of an advanced ...

Re: Recent Mosin Purchase from Bud's Guns

UPDATE: After disassembling it and cleaning it, there's a lot of minor pitting inside the barrel. There's also pitting throughout the exterior along with some very minor surface rust. Also, the outside of the barrel has been sanded down in places apparently during refurb. The rifling is extremely sh...
