It is an Armi San Marco (imported by Connecticut Valley Arms) Colt 1851 Navy reproduction. Picked up some helpful info from a gun show pal today. Probably worth about $150.
Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated!

On the Italian reproduction... In my experience they haven't been worth much more than a couple hundred bucks.

Yeah, thanks. This Armi San Marco will probably fetch about $150.

What's wrong with a bit of snow? It muffles things!

Not much snow here but cold! Luckily I have an indoor handgun range at work, rifle no luck.

Posting up my EDC. Have tried a few different pistols, but keep coming back to this Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 40. I use the MagGuts magazine extender, so the flush magazine holds seven instead of six, plus one in the chamber. 8 rounds of .40 s&w plus an 8 round spare gives me a lot of peace of mind. Displayed with one of my carry methods, my DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster.

Never had a 23, but you can't go wrong with a Glock.

My next pickup on Friday. A Heritage Arms 6 shot .22 mag/.22 lr revolver for checking my traps.

Looks like everyone has been picking up some good wares lately.

Waiting on a new rifle to be paid off so I look at other stuff in the mean time. Anyone looked at or own one of these new Life Cards? Interesting little pistol. Also these CMR-30's look interesting as well. The PMR is the pistol but I like the looks and idea of the CMR which is the carbine 30rd .22 WMR. What's your :2

My woods gun got some street duds...

http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...ual%20Duds.jpg

Out in the woods I have a Sherpa OWB that I carry the 10mm in, but it's not exactly a concealable combination for going into town after the hunt. Surprisingly, this IWB is actually pretty comfortable and conceals pretty good considering the size of this guy.

took the plunge and got a Ruger LC9s the other day. Any advice on good accessories or holsters?

dijit 01-21-2018 04:55 AM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
Depends on how you want to carry it Michael.

Kydex are great but in my opinion not too comfortable against the skin.
Bianchi has a pretty nice inside the waist band clip on

WhiteMamba 01-21-2018 01:51 PM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
I'm actually considering a shoulder holster but cant decide which one. Since I am usually wearing my shirt tucked in I don't think I could conceal it in my waist.

I have an inside the waist bianchi for my Makarov that lets it sit low enough its barely visible. Yes this impedes my draw speed but concealabilty is great. My XDM I just ordered an Alienware that will let my laser fit in it too.

How does that holster attach to the belt? I'm usually a fan of loops with snaps rather than many of the talon shaped clips used by most holster makers.

It has a belt clip on the other side, not loops. The side that is facing up goes against the body. Personally I prefer the belt clip for the ease/quickness of removing it. I believe one of RDR's options are snap loops though.

Okay. Some of those clips are pretty positive, and hold up well. Naturally, width/thickness of your belt plays a part too.

I have several of their holsters, each with the clip and haven't had any issues with the clip itself.

[Full disclosure, I do not have any direct connection to this company. Remo turned me onto them a couple of years ago and I have been a satisfied customer with several purchases.]

Swapped off an "extra" AR-15 at the show this weekend, for a barely used Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm pistol, the full size version. S&W claimed that all the 2.0's have better triggers than the originals. (I sort of think they're fudging a bit there.)

Well, this one I bought, they definitely got the internals right on it. Darn near as good as installing an Apex kit.

Brian D. 03-16-2018 01:07 PM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
The last month or so S&W or their distributors must have offered some great rebates on the J-frame five shot .38 special revolvers. Was able to get a model 442 for $340 out the door, taxes included last week. No external key lock on these, even better.

Picked up my six year old a new .22 to teach her how to shoot. She hit the two inch metal target at twenty five yards on her first shot. She did great!
