Love that Henry, that would be a beautiful varmint rifle.

Hi Old Mate Grant, we had a pack of dogs killing the goats and sheep in the area.
My 12 gauge my Mother gave me for my 14th. birthday, is the best for varmint.
It will kill anything at 200 yards... Ken

I am a sucker for a lever action .22, can't help myself.

If any of you fellers (or lady) is more flush than I am and in the market, here ya go! A complete set of stainless and grey laminate stocked Marlin rifles. This is a high dollar set for sure, but the asking price was out of bounds imo. But it didn’t meet reserve, so if you’d like to make an offer on a very rare complete set…

I'm looking for some new or "once fired" 257 Roberts brass. If you have some you'd like to part with or you know of a retailer that has some, please
pm me.

Just wondering if anyone owns or has shot any of the new pistols in the caliber 30 Super Carry?

I'm curious about those also.

My birthday present to myself, Smith & Wesson 360j Airweight .357/.38, picked up in a little pawnshop in Arizona.

Very nice J frame

Awesome present and nice find, Boji.

I’m not normally a fan of the J frames but this has a different and longer grip and just feels right in hand. Hope I can shoot it well enough for occasional carry.

Selling my Colt .22-.45 Service Model Conversion Unit (Floating Chamber) on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234525331993 if anyone is interested. I inherited this Colt conversion unit about 20-years ago from my dad and it just doesn’t suit my needs.

Nice Airweight, I sure like mine.
The 30 Super Carry ammo I've seen is a 100gr jhp at 1250 fps. The only guns I've seen in the shops are S & W models built on the 9mm compact frame. I imagine most manufacturers will have some models soon.

Was at a shop yesterday and they had a Shield EZ in 30 Super Carry, but hadn't received them in the Shield Plus yet. Probably would have walked out with a Shield Plus if they had one.

Do they have shootable quantities of ammo for it?

Since they didn't have the Shield Plus, I didn't inquire about the ammo.

Just saw a post on another forum of here in Indiana of another shop that will allocate 5 boxes of range ammo and 1 box hollow points with the purchase of the EZ in 30 SC

The stores here have plenty of ammo on hand for the 30SC. I suppose the thinking is the guns won't sell if there isn't sufficient ammo available.

I wouldn't buy a gun nowadays if I cant get several hundred rounds with it.
Over the past couple weeks I've been doing an internet search for 257 Roberts ammo or brass and it seems to be non existent.

I know, it is really weird. I was in the gunshop yesterday and people cant even find .243 Win ammo, but they have lots of 6.8 Western and .350 Legend, both newer calibers. I see people at gunshows paying a hundred dollars for an old collectible box of ammo, then shooting it up and throwing the box away. Those old blue/ yellow Western boxes are disappearing fast. I had to pay $90 yesterday for a brick of primers.

Thats the way here 223, 9mm, even 10mm, but the old standbys like 30-30, 243, 257 Bob, are scarce to non-existent. Forget about primers, It's been years since I've seen a brick of primers for sale.

Ken, I once knew a guy who made 257 brass out of my surplus 7x57. As I recall it was kinda tedious, but I know it can be done.

This is a c & p from an actual owner of a S&W 30SC: For your information
'I own a Shield EZ in 30SC. I have shot 115gr gold dots in ballistics gel comparing to 115gr 9mm Gold Dots. The performance between the two were near identical, there are some ammo tests on YT that back that up. I haven't shot 100gr ammo yet (can't find any in stock) but what I can say is shooting both 9mm and 30SC back to back is that 30SC does recoil slightly less than 9mm but unless you're shooting back to back you wouldn't notice. the 2 extra round in a mag are nice, but at this point I would recommend staying with the Shield EZ in 9mm, at least until more 30SC is readily available at a normal price.
"

Sportsmans Warehouse has the CCI 30 super carry ammo 29.99 for 50 rounds, doesn't appear to be any limit. Not a bad price

New toy I picked up this past weekend. A Sig P938 in 9mm. Nice size for pocket carry. I would have liked a de-cock lever but it would have cluttered the small frame.

Very nice! I don’t have a sig…. Yet, but all I’ve heard has been good. I did shoot a sig officer size 1911 once. It sure was sweet.

That one is my favorite for open carry, which I seldom do. I thought it would injure my hand to fire it but it was smooth and had minimum recoil, not painful at all.
