Picked up two family heirloom's this weekend.

Great grandpa's model 12 and grandpa's m66 ithaca

I'm only up to 5 12 gauge shotguns now...

More to share with your family down the road. Never hurts having a few extra.

Picked up a Ruger GP-100 today. Its a blued steel 6" version. I should be able to run a slightly more fun load through it than my 20 and 34 year old S&W 686 revolvers.

I like those.

Puts my .357 Magnum collection at two 4" stainless S&W 686 (a no dash and a dash 4), 4" blued S&W 586, stainless 2.25" Ruger SP101, and now the blued 6" Ruger GP-100.

I do have to point something out, mister mitdr774. You posted in a picture thread about acquiring a new firearm and didn't post pics!

You must redeem yourself at once.

The revolver collection.

Next you need a 5" White Rhino (Chiappa). That'll round out your .357 collection nicely.

Spent some money this weekend on some accessories. Put on a VG and picked up some P-MAGS for the M4. The M14 got a CASM mount with a Vortex Diamondback 2-7 and Blackhawk tactical rings. What a great scope for the money. Got a feeling I'm gonna be a Vortex fanboy now

Err... Is the barrel on the bottom?


**** you auto correct!

 

[mitdr774]

Yes. I dont understand how its better than a conventional revolver. I suspect there will be issues with the operating mechanisms far sooner than a conventional set up. I could be wrong though.

I sure hope it wasnt done to control recoil since a .357 Mag really isnt bad for recoil. Well, factory loads are not, but some full bore loads can be a bit much in something like a 2.25".

I took a friend to the range today and introduced him to some rather entertaining rounds in a .357 Magnum. I loaded up some very weak .38 special mouse fart loads with 148gr WC over 2.0gr of Trail Boss, and some rather toasty 110gr XTP, 140gr XTP, and 158gr FMJ with either W296 or 2400 powder. Also brought along some 180gr, middle of the road velocity, 10mm and my 10mm 1911. I think the mouse farts brought the most entertainment for the day.

Here is a quick video he took of the 140 XTP/W296 load from a 6" GP100.

I just liked it because it was different. I'd like some XL grips but it shoots nice enough.

 

[mitdr774]

They are different. That is for sure.


I did also pick up this little beauty today (well, yesterday at this point in the evening). I knew I should not have looked in the used counter.

S&W 629 with a 8 3/8" barrel.

Just picked up my first gun which will also be my EDC. This is my Bersa BP9CC:
