    NIB p89

    Nice deal, but there are hundreds of thousands of these out there. Shoot it and enjoy it - it's not going to be collective in your lifetime or your kids' lifetimes.

    P89 Stainless Steel Magazines - When Introduced?

    Does anyone know when Ruger introduced stainless steel 15 round magazines for the P89 family? As a subquestion, did they ever have metal floorplates, or were they introduced with the plain "bumper" style floorplates? Any ideas when the current Ruger-logo bumper floorplates were introduced...

    Gunsite Scout Composite or Laminate?

    No pins required on these/no threaded barrel legal issues on the GS in MA. These rifles are perfectly legal.

    Once is unfortunate; twice is unforgivable.

    45 acp Ruger Old Army?

    Check out the converters. I have three of the Taylors and they function amazingly well.

    45 acp Ruger Old Army?

    For the win. Muzzleloading revolvers are not set up for what amounts to an undersized (for the cylinder and forcing cone) jacketed bullet.

    Trail gun.

    Kramer belt scabbard or Galco "fanny pack," depending on the circumstances. I use the "fanny pack" when I'm carrying a backpack.

    Mini 14 accuracy HELP please

    This is the question. I have had quite a few Minis. The old ones never shot well and some were horrible. The new ones do OK and absolutely should be 2" or less at 50 yards.

    Trail gun.

    I went round and round on this for years and finally settled on a S&W 396, the original version with an aluminum frame and a titanium cylinder. It weighs about 18 oz dry, and I load it with the 200 gr Gold Dot Blazer load (aluminum cases). It is very easy to carry and should be a useful tool...

    So Torn - SR1911 or SR1911 CMD

    It's about that simple from where I sit. :!:

    The .38 Sp +P load is in a totally different category - no issues at all, assuming it is SAAMI +P.

    Ruger 50th Anniversary .357 vs standard Blackhawk .357

    Was that "for sale" or "sold"? Asking prices here are often high...too high...selling prices not always, at least not for guns that haven't started a buyer stampede. :)

    I recently bought one of those Belt Mountain quick release kits. They're amazing! :D

    PC9mm questions

    I'd ask $900 and wouldn't let it go for less than $800. Add $100 if the rifle has peep sights.
