    Slapping the trigger....how do I stop it??

    Acquired 2 revolvers in 3 days....how'd I do??

    Saturday picked up a used (1984ish) S&W 686 for $500, in about 90-95% condition. Today I snagged Ruger New-Model Single-Six (without the 22WMR cylinder, which I never shoot anyways) for $270 out the door. Did I pay a fair price for these weapons or did I get ripped?

    Bought my son a Crickett .22LR and took it to the range for the first time yesterday. Very dissapointed that 1/3rd of the rounds wouldn't eject after being fired. I had to manually remove them for him and it got old kinda quick. We cleaned it before we headed there so I know it wasn't a...
