I carried one as a back up/off duty pistol for a while. I was impressed with the pistol's quality and accuracy. I shot the old 50 yard CLEET qualification course with no problems. Mine was a 232 stainless and it had a very slick European appearance. The sights were pretty good and the trigger...

Or an old water cooled Browning .30 cal.

Back in the 90s I carried a Smith Model 39 as a duty weapon. I really liked the grip angle and feel. It always fired and fed everything that I could load into the single stack magazine. I sold it to buy a model 640 .357 hide out and have always regretted it. I still have a box of 9mm black...

Broomhandle Mauser in 7.62, 8" barrel and shoulder stock/holster

Wideners has Wolf primers in stock (1655 hrs 8/18). No telling how long they'll last but if you're quick you might be able to score some.

Rimmed or rimfire? I'm not aware of anybody making a rimfire (primer in the cartridge rim like a .22) 9mm unless it came from Europe about a hundred years ago. If the gun is that old you probably wouldn't want to shoot it even if you could find ammunition. If its 9mm center fire with a rim I...

I was in there on Tuesday evening. Four or five guys shooting. It wasn't too hot in the range even with the outside temp around a hundred. They don't sell guns, they don't sell clothing, they don't sell ammo. Its strictly a pistol shooting range. The price is reasonable and its a lot closer to...

In the "old days" - 1970's - a lot of police officers who couldn't afford a Walther PPK bought a Constable as a hide out gun because they were relatively small for the time and were considered to be quite reliable. 40 years ago the PPK was thought of as the only decent .380 or .32 auto on the...

The 8mm Mauser was an old full power battle rifle round, intended to reach out to 1000 yards. Ballistics were comparable to the .303 Enfield, .30-06 Springfield, and 7.62 Russian MN. If I remember correctly the military load for the Mauser was a 180 gr bullet which was a bit heavier than the 147...

The round will do the job. It dates back to the days when manly men shot Enfields, Kar 98 Mausers, and '03 Springfields out to a thousand yards. (I didn't say that they were expected to hit much of anything, but they could shoot that far and still do some damage). Take the rifle to the range...

I carried a stainless 232 for a couple of years as a backup. Mine shot pretty well. It was a little heavier than the blued version but the whole thing was steel. I always did okay with generic white box ammo at the range. My carry load was the Federal Hydrashocks which fed okay and grouped well...

I own a 70's vintage Model 94 that is not an angle eject. When I bought it used it was drilled and tapped for a side mount and came with an old steel tube Weaver 3X scope. I was not happy at all with that mounting system as I believe that it threw the gun out of balance and I had to sight with...

I sent an e-mail to Larry Potterfield CEO of Midway a couple of days ago just to express my frustration with how quickly primers disappear from his web site - like in 10 or 15 minutes. I've always been pretty happy with Midway's service and Larry seems like a stand up guy. I don't think he'd...

It looks like they were gone in about 15 minutes!

The ammo was $10 a box. I've seen it cheaper. And the pants were a birthday present from my wife!

I was in there this evening (Monday 6/29). They had 30 or so boxes of Remington .223 out on the shelves with a 2 box limit, no .22 that I could see and no pistol ammunition other than a half dozen boxes of 9mm ball - sorry I don't remember the brand. I walked out of the store with a pair of...

I don't have a lot of rounds through my Ultra Carry II - maybe two or three hundred so far - but I'll say that I haven't had any problems at all. It even shoots well with a couple of $8.00 gun show "no name" magazines. Most of my ammunition is reloaded ball and I usually split the difference...

Smith model 640 .357. Its hammerless, stainless steel so it doesn't rust, and its plenty strong for for anything I care to load it with. I always qualified with it on the old CLEET 50 yard course. With 15 rounds (5 rounds plus 2 speedloaders) of the old Remington 125 grain medium velocity load I...

You'll like it. I shoot better scores with my Ultra Carry II than I do with most of my full size pistols. Cheaper Than Dirt had a good deal on El Paso Saddlery holsters that you might want to look at.

I owned a 9mm Tok back in the 90's that was one of those Norinco $150 specials. Mine shot well and fed just about every configuration of 9mm bullet on the market at that time. As I recall the machining was a little rough with visible tool marks on the frame and inside of the slide, but the...
