Snagging can be overcome with practice, but why when there are so many great hammerless and concealed hammer models now days. If you plan on shooting your concealment piece frequently I would suggest one of the S&W J frames. Personally I like the 649 or 49 and there are still many lightly used S&W J frames out there that will cost you a anywhere from a couple hundred to several hundred dollars less than a new one. The 38/638 is a good gun, but the alloy frame isn't as sturdy as the all steel if you're looking at a lot of shooting. Also if you can find one of the Ruger SP101 with the 2.25" barrel with the DA hammer you have a good little revolver there. However alot of folks prefer the trigger action on the S&W revolver. I prefer Smith & Wesson, but I appreciate Ruger and aknowledge that the company makes a very solid and strong revolver.Just remember that the Ruger is heavier. Look at your requirements.

Now be careful with Colt. Like I said in that other posting the Colt action is tricky and there aren't that many gunsmiths left anymore who know how to work on the action. I would recommend a Colt for collecting but a Smith or Ruger for real world. Be careful of Taurus. The company has come a long way, but I still have doubts about the quality control. And that's not good for a revolver being used for the real world. Life or death in other words. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 23:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

About Me

I like guns, otherwise I wouldn't be on this site. I'm not super into guns, but really into movies. I got around 300 DVDs. So maybe as time goes by, I'll be able to make some good contributions to the site.

To-Do List

I already have all of these on DVD, so no biggie if anybody else beats me to some of them.

Pages I'm Working On

Pages Made

Does not include actor pages built and minor contributions

(CURRENT COUNT: 34)

  • Cobra: Screencapped page.
  • Legion: Screencapped 90% of page.
  • Miami Vice (TV Series): Screencapped page. (More than I care to think about.) Gunman69 screencapped most of season 2 and added a lot of the descriptions for my caps, allowing me more time to do caps for the page.
  • Ronin: Screencapped 90% of page.
  • Thief: Screencapped page.

Actor Pages Made

  • Julie Benz didn't build the page, but might as well have.

Handguns

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
My first gun I ever bought. When I decided to purchase a gun, I wanted a 9mm handgun. The only ones I knew about at the time was Beretta and Glock. The only way I would own Glock, is if it is given to me. So I was set on the Beretta. But decided to look around. I had bought some early '90's gun magazines and there was an article on the then new .40 S&W Hi-Power. They gave a brief history on the Hi-Power and I was sold. This is a Captains model with the tangent rear sight. It originally had walnut grips, but I swapped them with Mark III grips to keep the originals looking nice.

My Mark III Hi-Power, this is my favorite of all my guns. The holster is Milt Sparks. Plan on getting my carry permit sometime.

My Para 1911. I originally wanted a Springfield Mil-Spec, but at the time there was only the GI or Mil-Spec stainless around. Grips are Esmeralda.

Beretta 92F the type of gun I would have bought if I hadn't found out about the Hi-Power. This was someones former duty gun. I have since traded this to my Grandma for a Colt Challenger.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Bought this after trading my 92F and having several spare mags and no gun to use them with. Always loved the '90s Italian Inox's.

My Desert Eagle Mark I .357, probably the least favorite of all my handguns. I don't hate it. It has been a good reliable gun, like all my others. Gumnaster45 touched up the pic so it could be used for the site.
The second gun I ever purchased, I was in the market for a blued 586. But this one came up and I had to have it. This is an auction pic. My pic didn't turn out too well. The only changes I've done to it is swap the target stocks for factory combat ones.

Needed a .22 for cheap practice, so traded my beater 92F for this Colt Challenger,
I got interested in the S&W 4505 after searching for 4506 models and seeing a 4505 pop up. It ended up selling for $875 on GB. Stopped in my local gun store to see what they had (hadn't been in there in years) Saw this one for $550, couldn't pass it up.

Rifles

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
My 10/22 was given to me by my father as a birthday present.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
My first rifle, I like the idea of using either .223 or 5.56 mm, while AR's have more accessories. The prices were out of line at the time of purchase. may get one later. But the Mini-14 is fine for me.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
I was looking for something in a bigger cablier than the .223, so I started searching for something in the .308/7.62. I would have liked to have gotten an M1A, it would have made a nice matching big brother to my Mini-14. But again prices are too high for me right now. My L1A1 is built on a IMBEL receiver.

Shotguns

My 870 is a Police Magnum with a 20" barrel and blued finish.
