    Do you conceal carry an Expensive Handgun.?

    Expense is relative.... In general, I will carry the gun I shoot the best ...and when I carry, most of th time, I carry a Wilson Combat 1911 - a CQB 5" gun in .45acp ....that has a replacement value of about $3,000.... But the value of the weapon I choose to carry ...in the event I do need it...

    S&W Model 10?

    "Victory" models in my area ...are pretty easy to find in decent condition for $ 125 - $ 300 / depending on how much of the original finish is still on them. A lot of them were carried by law enforcement officers ...and may be in very good shape ...but a lot of the finish is worn off ( I have...

    Why does refinishing stock reduce value?

    Production made shotguns .....Winchester 101's ....Browning O/U's in the Citori line at least... most Beretta O/U's .../ most Perazzi or even Krieghoff O/U's .....are not collectors items... Most of them have increased in value over the last 25 yrs ...some significantly ...but they're still...

    I'm already thinking about a 12 gauge trap gun...

    For Trap ...singles, continental, etc....I prefer an O/U ...and the Browning Citori XT with 32" barrels is tough to beat. On a budget - there are lots of used XT's out there ....but if Trap Singles is all you want to shoot ( vs doubles, or Continental, or Bunker Trap ..) then a good...

    any thoughts on a 20g O/U field gun...

    Ok, I'm still laughing ....but over the years Browning hasn't used the best wood either on their grade I guns... Here is my Citori 12ga ( Field Grade 1 O/U ) that I bought new in 1988 for about $ 750 ....its the older version of the standard Lightning model today. its not fancy, but its a...

    Opinions on Progress Reloaders

    There is no right or wrong answer ....virtually all of the reloaders being made out there these days is good equipment. Personally, I like the Dillon 650 with a case feeder...but there isn't anything wrong with the LNL...or the RCBS for that matter. To me - it came down to a comfort factor...
