What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

Very nice gun great for trap and doubles. have fun with it.

 

First Walther for me. If you haven't need for threaded barrel, the standard is still on sale for $279 I believe. Rebate for free goods ends 12/31 (purchase date).

 

Powder welded, or did they actually mill up a block of true folded steel for the hammer?

 

^^^Damn good question right there.

 

More idle curiosity than anything, though.
Personally, I much prefer forged steel in things that go bang, but it seems like more and more manufacturers are moving to sintered metal parts.

 

Nice!

 

Blocked by the IT Department.
I'll just have to look when I get home, haha!

 

Details on this masterpiece?

 

Gotcha.
Sintering's come a long way, probably it will work great and be just as reliable as a forged unit would have been. I'm just old-fashioned and behind the times with stuff like that.

 

Anyone know what holster would be best (material wise) for a gun with a blued finish?

 

What are you looking for? IWB? OWB? Conceal carry? Drop leg?

To many to list with limited info.

I personally carry my Glock 19 in a Crossbreed qwik-clip holster.

I am also thinking about getting this one from Bravo.

Also, no matter what, your blued finish will eventually start to show wear if you carry on a regular basis. No way around it really.

 

X2.

If you carry on a regular basis, holster wear comes with the territory. If you're concerned about holster wear, a bead-blasted stainless finish will resist showing wear better, and something with a tennifer-type finish will hold up better still. Blued finish starts showing holster marks pretty quickly in my experience.
Of course, if you're carrying it regularly you'll eventually get scratches and nicks on the parts of the gun that aren't covered by the holster anyway, so the holster wear really doesn't matter a whole lot...

That being said, in my experience a high-quality leather holster is easier on a gun's finish than kydex or nylon, but they'll all cause wear marks.
One thing I try to avoid is a holster with a soft interior material like felt or unfinished leather, since they'll trap gun oil and dust and essentially create an abrasive paste.

 

The bottom one.

 

One pound of 2F powder for my flintlock. Used the last of the four pounds I bought 25 years ago.

 

Bought a DNZ all one piece scope mount for my Remington 700 for $40 at the local gun store at their after Christmas sale.

 

Anyone have anything good/bad to say about Rio shotgun ammo? Its cheap....seems to be of decent quality.

 

I've just never seen the name before. Figured i'd ask. Thank you El Jeffe
