Was shooting my Citori, but one of my buddies let me try this Beretta last year and I liked it. He had previously cerakoted it green - and since my High School and College colors were green, I decided I liked it. So I bought it off him. Plus it's easy to see in the gun rack, since it's the only green one! :lol: It's a gas gun, so very soft shooting. I shoot left handed, and was able to set it up with cast-on with the stock shims.
Several years ago I had a 390 and it was a great gun.

I’m right the opposite! Once i get hold of one I can’t hardly let them go. But as i said earlier, I have a sickness when it comes to any old Marlin or Ithaca.

One of my all time favorite hand guns. A Smith & Wesson model 16 chambered in ,32 H&R magnum. I used it for bulls eye and only shot .32 S&W long wadcutters in it. A wonderful shooting revolver. An Ultradot is mounted on it. But alas, it is gracing someone else's safe now. These are its for sale pics.

ROFL. I don’t deny that I’m very “ecumenical” when it comes to the firearms congregation. I just have my favorites.

BTW, the exact number of firearms a person should own is defined as n+1 (n= the number you already own).

Does anyone have a source for brand name .410 Shotgun Shells that are in stock? Everyone in our area seems to be plumb out. None of those foreign brands with the short, short brass. Looking for some for a Tarus Judge for my buddy.

Midsouth Shooters Supply also has some Hornady in stock. A good company. I've done business with them since before the internet.

We are having a hard time getting shells for our Sporting Clays league. The club where I shoot will sell us how ever many we are going to shoot that day. We shoot 60 rds every Thursday, so they will sell us three boxes (75 rds). I have a small stash, and pick them up where ever I can - Academy, Walmart, etc.

I would have to say that at least in my area there is light at the end of the tunnel. Our local Scheels store had an aisle where they would stock the ammo onto shelving as it arrives. Yesterday, I was in there and noticed that they took out the whole row of shelving and now as ammo arrives they dont waste the time taking it out of the cases and putting it on the shelves. They just park the pallets in a row and let the customers help themselves. And previously they had a 2 box limit on ammo, it has now been changed to 5 box limit. They had a lot of 9mm, 380, 45 auto, and now have primers in more selection than any time over the past year. Rimfire is still scarce, I need some 17HMR, but I expect that it will be coming.

That sounds good!
Maybe.... by mid summer there will be some ammo back on the shelves.

THEY SAY.... they are making it as fast as they can.

I should have added that the 9mm they had the whole pallet was aluminum case Speer. At least you could shoot it even if you could not reload it.

Went into an Orschelin store to pick up fence repair stuff and low & behold! Look what they had for $4.50 a box! Not the best price and a limit of 2 boxes, but it's a good sign!

Got in 2 days of lead slinging this past weekend, with a cousin, sister's boyfriend and a work buddy. Had a wide variety of firearms to choose from, probably went through a few hundred rounds each. Outdoors in a field at the farm, luckily the weather cooperated. Had cleaning to do before coming back to Alexandria, my hands smell like black powder and Hoppe's #9. 😍

Awesome!!! Even though I have a fair stash of 22, we haven’t been doing any plinking just in case. But my goodness I’m ready to go burn some powder with the boys.
