  1. WELL!!! after reading this post I looked at my stash and I had 2 550 round boxes I went to the range and tried them ,yes they suck . Lots of stove pipes in the 10/22 and some miss fires . When I have a 22 misfire I try the round again in a different position to see if there is priming in another area of the rim all the rounds fired after rechambering. The goldens aren't very good.

  2. I went to the range and tried out a couple pistols today including the Springfield XD. I was leaning toward the XD or M&P. Couldn't really find fault with any of them but the M&P felt better in my hand and seemed to point and reset on target faster for the way I hold a pistol.

    I have some practice to do! Although I've shot semi-auto pistols a bit in the past I've never owned one. This is the first "new" gun I've bought in 15 years!

    Calif law say you have to buy one a month.
  3. An old Python box can be worth $100. If it's the actual box, with matching #'s as your Python, together they may be worth a $200. premium (if the pistol's exta nice and just the least bit rare).

    One for a Rossi,,what do you think. smirk

    I have a 1974 1911 with the box so I looked at the numbers and they do not match. Too bad I did not look when I bought the 1911 in 1974.
  4. I had a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag. That's the biggest handgun I've ever shot. Thing kicked like a mule. Only way I could shoot it with relative comfort was to put oversize Pachmayr grips on it.
    Try the 44 mag in a double action the recoil seems half . and in a desert Eagle even less. The recoil in a Blackhawk is nasty I owned one for a month in the early 1980s.
