    New pistol grip installed.  I like it.


    Looks good, probably far more ergonomic than the original. Who supplies it?

    For me if standing in front of the safe and I had to grab a rifle to walk in the woods with right now, it would be the 71 Winchester in 348 win hands down.

    Trying to talk myself out of a STI 2011 right now. $2K in ammo is probably a lot more productive.

    The Denver USPS needs no chemical assistance in tangling up the cogs of service. Don't ask me how I know......

    That seems to be the prevailing situation, but don't worry. It remains consistently unchanged.

    I'll be glad when this Wuhan Wheezer crap is over and Italy can start shipping guns again...


    P.S., I know I've been away from this page for awhile, but what the heck happened to the forum layout???

    I stumbled upon a good deal on a S&W 442-1 and it followed me home.

    Most recently I picked up a Pietta 1851 Yank snub nose revolver.

    Are you keeping it as a black powder gun or converting it?  I would be curious to hear how that process goes if you choose that route.

    I had no intention on the swap.

    I think I made a decent deal on it. Paid the listed price for the firearm but got a holster two cylinder pouches two spare cylinders a loading stand an some round ball and I can not tell it has ever been shot.

    That sounds like a good score to me!  Spare cylinders are usually rather expensive.
