I have two Ring's blue plastic handguns, the ones that are used in LE training and holster makers. One is a replica full size 1911 and the other is a replica on a Glock 19. $35.00 each and I get shipping. PM please......

Being it is July 11th today, it is National Convince a Friend to buy a Single Action Day! We have a social obligation to go shop!

A few years go while in Tombstone I found this dollar for sale....it has the "O" on its back and by its date it was minted in New Orleans with silver from the "Good Enough Mine" in Tombstone. Although not gun with a history, just how many shots of whiskey did this buy or ladies of the evening in its day in Tombstone?

In Arizona, whether you are in the Sonoran Desert or Colorado Plateau water is a finite commodity. Politicians, especially in the Phoenix-Tucson area are doing their best to get control of all water, including personal well water for their elephant in the room. As usual it comes down to money and growth. AZ is already and is drying up in places at a alarming rate. Those of us who live in a wetter climate cringe at the thought of where AZ is going. We can't stop the elephant, we are not even trying to achieve sustainability, it is all about growth + more people = more dollars for the state. The impact on infrastructure and especially agriculture should frighten those of us who feel the need to eat. Time to step off my soap box and share with you folks to get informed locally and look at the mistakes being made throughout the southwest.

Anyone seen, handled , shot or own one of these? Let us know please. Found some good information, thanks for the help...... https://piettafirearms.com/premier-model/ https://americanhandgunner.com/handguns/the-pietta-1873-premier/

Not being in the LEO business any longer, I can only share what I witnessed. Profitable, yes. Normally smuggled to pay off a debt. Dangerous, extremely! Having personally witnessed the aftermath of the bursting of balloon type products within a human body, both genders, it is best described as horrible. If there is any homicide investigators or medical examiners out there, you know what I am describing. It is either an act of desperation or raw stupidity. Remember drugs are cut with another substance once they have made the journey within to increase product volume and this increases your profit. Movies normally get it wrong, as usual.

I have been playing with my 44-40 Winchester 1866 out to 250, I accept the challenge to miss! I'm going down that rabbit hole!

I have been carrying one of these in a rifle scabbard for a really ling time, Marlin (JM) 1894 COWBOY .44 MAG Octagon - 10+1 Rounds, 20" Barrel. I'd switch to the Ruger if there was ever a need, but it is just reliable and accurate. I recently started using the Hornady Backcountry Defense ammo and I am very pleased with that ammo in a 20 inch barrel.

I just realized I have a aunt that would qualify ......

My daughter has a bunch of buckles from different equestrian events acquired over the past 20 years. Most are rodeo related. We found her a display coffee table at a used furniture store and her buckles are all front and center in her living room. There are great memories contained within the table.

Always buy quality factory ammo, change it out annually, most HP's do not expand below 1000 FPS, practice with what you carry and always remember a handgun buys you time to get to a rifle. Avoid armed encounters at all cost and engage only in the gravest of situation.

You have a gift and a talent, great fun to witness and shoot with you. Well done sir!

The Arizona Territorial Company of Rough Riders and the Rangers did it right! Well done and hats off to all of you who made it happen and put in the hours and sweat. Thank you!

Winter Range is coming back to PHX in 2028

Are stainless guns dishwasher safe?

I shoot 10 inch round steel to ping and card board to keep me honest.

Just wait 5 minutes, it will change.

Oh I am very interested, still looking for a pair in .44 Spcl, nickel-4 5/8th's.....people generally do not sell the Colts that they own. I primarily shoot the Rugers 90% of the time, primarily because they are tough. A well tuned Ruger is a sound investment. Haven't had too much luck with the Italian clones, I guess I ended up with the ones built on Monday after a 3 day holiday weekend. From time to time you'll see me with a pair of SAA's loaded with black in .45. Just remember to shoot what works for you and what you can afford to buy. Nothing more, nothing less.

A friend of mine out that way said that little varmint is going on the grill for calling for more of the cold stuff! Stay warm and keep the faith.....

Anyone remember, "Mr. Toads Wild Ride" ?

I shoot a similar looking round in my Marlin .357 mag. (158 gr Berrys) and Marlin .44 mag. (240 gr Berrys) and have had no feeding problems. Powder on both is Win 231.

I couldn't resist......

Found this at Bass Pro in Mesa, AZ if anyone is interested….

This is a want item not necessarily a need item. For those of us that have historically gone down the pump rifle rabbit hole, $2K is reasonable if there is no smithing needed. I know what I spent to get a Taurus and Uberti running and I am rather embarrassed as to what that actually cost me to get the rifle to work at least most of the time. I'm interested but not committed yet.
