Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
My wife got me this one, an Italian Tanfoglio EA380. First I've ever heard of the company but after researching, I discovered they have contracted with the Israeli and Italian military and used to make the earlier Berretas. Also, they are popular all over Europe for competition shooting. Very happy with it and it didn't break the bank.

Two fine looking handguns Yehuda.
I just recently added a new pocket pistol, the Ruger LCP. I thought it might come in handy to have a bit smaller and more concealable pistol on occasion. For some reason, this one caught my eye over the standard black model.

My wife likes hers. It's a great pistol for the money. I've never been disappointed with a Ruger. Cool finish too!philco wrote:Two fine looking handguns Yehuda.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I've shown this in the past but given the previous photos of minimalist modern semi-autos I thought this old timer would not be out of place. It is a Grendel .380. It had bounced around in an Arizona rancher's tool box for more than a couple of years. It has never malfunctioned despite my attempts to induce a failure. At suitable distances it has very good accuracy. Recoil impulse is sharp.

Well, what the heck. Keeping with previous posts, here's a little Kel-Tec in 32 auto.

A slick little unit like makes a great argument against my habit of EDCing a full-frame semiauto. It's a lethal work of art.

Agreed Tony my friend. Fine firearm. I mix up my carries. Even carry two at times. Main and backup. Personally, I always gravitate back to my SIG P220 5inch DA/SA in 10mm with 2 spare mags. At just under 3 pounds loaded, not for everyone.
Just like the idea of 185 grain at 1300 or 1400 FPS if the situation calls for a firearm. Range or otherwise.
One on the left in the pic. Don’t mind carrying the other two either.

You would get along great with my buddy John. He's a guitar freak. I think at last count he has slightly in excess or 50. He's as bad about guitars as I am about knives. My hobby's cheaper.Yehuda wrote:Great firearms everyone. Those Sigs are furious!

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Wow! That's an amazing haul! My father was a musician and guitar collector. At one point he had around thirty guitars. I have seven guitars and two bass guitars with no plans to acquire any more. I think I have what I need. We'll see!jerryd6818 wrote:You would get along great with my buddy John. He's a guitar freak. I think at last count he has slightly in excess or 50.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Ditto the above. Have you fired it? What has been your experience with it, particularly regarding reliability? It is certainly a handsome gun.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
In keeping with the handgun theme of the last page - here is a Ruger Carbine in a good wheelgun cartridge, the 44 MAG. Been deer hunting with it lately. OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
That is a cool rifle Bruce, I bet it puts a good whop on anything you hit. Wasn't that the predecessor to the 10/22, regarding similarities in design?

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Ditto Camillus, on your comment, "I wish I still had mine". I bought my Ruger .44 carbine back in the late 60's and kept it for a year or so. It was a fun little carbine to shoot. I hunted with it one season back when we were running deer hounds, only killed a big bobcat with it. This was before I started keeping records of my gun trading activities, I'm pretty sure I traded it to a feller for a Browning .22 auto rifle and that one was manufactured by FN, wish I had kept that one too!
Bruce, my Ruger had a Monte Carlo stock with iron sights. It would have been a lot easier to shoot with a scope mounted on it now that I think about it.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I like it because it is light and handy, but still has a good "whop" as Paul put it. This one has a very plain type stock (no Monte Carlo comb), quite similar to the original 10/22. I understand there were two generations of this carbine by Ruger (early and late) - this one was made in 1977 which is the second generation. I've seen first generation guns, they had grooved forends on the stock. I'm not sure if the 44 MAG Carbine came before or after the 10/22 Carbine. A buddy of mine owns a version that is a Levergun (44/96 I think). OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Yehuda, I would still like to know your impressions of the American Tactical Sub-Compact if and when you get a chance to shoot it. The Ruger is some serious hardware. I particularly like that it has no forward grooves.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I bought the ATI Friday because it is a beauty and is nice and heavy, but over the weekend I read a lot of reviews and kept seeing the same thing over and over, it has problems with small components breaking and malfunctioning. When I took it to the range Sunday, I decided to not shoot it, took it back today and upgraded to the Ruger. Now, the ATI is really nice looking and priced at around $400, but honestly, it terrified me. I didn't want to be stuck with a gun I couldn't depend on.
Pros: It has a lifetime warranty and will most likely function properly for a while and looks terrific. It's also supposed to be very accurate.
Cons: It's a budget firearm and owners will most certainly be replacing parts prematurely.
I didn't particularly want to spend so much on a Ruger, but damnit, I trust it. If I were a decent gunsmith, I'd most likely have stuck with the ATI. Hope this is helpful.
