Hey, gun nuts!

Man I really would like to get a super shiny pretty Kimber but the H&K USP.45 with a threaded barel and a can is pretty sexy too. I will have both some day but I can never be sure when I might have an extra 1300-2k bucks to drop on a pistol. So which one first? If cost between the two was not an issue which one would you go for and why?

 

[Peregrinator]

I would throw in an old Winchester lever action, but you'd go for that.

You wanna buy the Model 88?

The one with the bent barrel? No.

 

[Peregrinator]

the H&K USP.45 with ... a can

The pistol comes with a toilet?

 

[koalabear]

You gotta have hands, not pussy paws.

No griz or rhinos to shoot around Indiana.

 

[Peregrinator]

The one with the bent barrel? No.

That's the air rifle you're thinking of. I can show you the difference sometime.

My next rifle will be this one. 1866 transition

Yeah, we were getting ground trooped by a battalion of prairie dogs.

800 left out of how many? And was it really a "hunting" trip? I mean, whack-a-mole never struck me as hunting.

Looks cool. Are you trying to fill a gap in a collection scheme of some kind?

 

[koalabear]

How old and what caliber?

1873 original, .38-40, 30 inch barrel. To small a caliber for you.

Originals of that are very rare. I like the old west types.

I like the 1911 traditional style. My Son has a S&W MP .45 that is a very good and accurate shooter too.

So how many do you own, and if you had to reduce to just five, which ones and why?

That's a tiny little piss tube.

He did. I wondered why you didn't comment.

"Stek Knives"

I have a couple of knives made by these craftsmen. Had them for several years now. Their name is Craig & Adam Steketee, father and son. They are excellent knife makers. Here's a little about them:

Beautiful stuff. In the grand scheme of things, Ish's guess wasn't so far off.

His shop is located in Billings, Missouri which is located just 20 miles southwest of Springfield and one hour northwest of Branson.

Do you actually use them, or are they just for show? I'm always torn with stuff like that. Seems a shame to just look at them, but they're practically sculptures, so it's not like you want to go hacking down saplings either.

I own 23. I'd keep the 3-.45's, Benneli M4 and the Ruger 556 so I get the rest back.

Did.

The haft is distinctly Zuni in design.

Is the Benneli the one you post pics of all the time?

How does the Ruger shoot compared to the military issue?

Much better than the M16's from my era. I've never fired the modern M4's or 16's or whatever number they have now.
