My insurance company says they will pay me $429.00 for the gun when I replace it.
So I have a budget. What should I get????
Not into mail order or internet.
Want new from dealer.
Something I can find easy.
Not into big bore .
Have cc and carry everyday.
I have a 9mm SVE auto
a Judge
22 Black hawk
another 38 / older
22 SP 1
380 LCP auto
380 Bryce auto
40 cal SVE auto
So what is your vote?????

A new safe?
Got that and bolted down good.
Has to be a gun they said.
Basically they allowed 200 plus for the old gun and added 200.00 appreciation for ten years. So if I don't buy a gun I don't get the appreciation money.

Anyone got one?
Post by: ghosthunter on October 28, 2015, 01:48:15 PM
This is such a personal question.
Not really,
I like all guns. I am more fond of 40 cal and smaller though. What would you buy. ??????

That being said I'm never far from my .45 Kimber with the pretty red dot.
My wife has a little 5 shot .357 that would be a nice daily carry??

I been thinking of a Bond Snake Slayer. You can get barrels for most any caliber.
Anyone got one?
I have the Ranger II which is the same thing. It's a fun little gun to shoot, even with full load .45s it's not too bad to shoot. 410 #4 shot is holds a good pattern to about 20 feet or so. Have not tested the 00 buck yet to see how it patterns and at what distances, but there is a chart posted somewhere that gives info that will be close.
The driving holster is good for in the vehicle, but I did not like carrying it in it hunting because the snap kept coming undone from different things, the gun fit the holster nice and tight and probably would not have come out, but I still did not like it coming undone. Ordering a regular belt holster for it which will make it easier to carry either on me or attached to my daypack.

Did you have a valueable property policy that covered the gun or did your home owners policy?
Just standard Home Owners.

You mentioned a 22 black hawk did you mean a Ruger single six / single ten? If i were considering a Ruger single action i would look at the single six in 327 federal. It is able to fire 32s&w, 32h&R mag also. :)

Going shopping for a Bond Snake slayer.
Own a judge and a Circuit Judge. So like the idea of same ammo.
Can get a 9mm barrel at half price till end of year.
Seen them in stock any where?

I searched the county today. Hit every place that sell handguns. Found two. One was a Ranger (black grip) The other i found at a out of the way shop was a Snake Slayer with the 3 + barrel. I didn't buy it because for some reason I thought the Snake Slayer IV came with a little longer Rosewood Grips and the 4 + barrel.
But after checking their web site video they state the there is no difference in grips but only barrel length.
I might go back next weekend and pull the trigger on purchase.
Man the gun shops were busy today. Skagit Arms was standing room only and almost grid lock in there. They should have made that store bigger.
Only one shop kinda turned me off. They were nice and greeted me when I entered. When i asked for a Snake Slayer he said no but i can order it in for ya. I said all the shops will order it , I want to touch it. " Than he said , Well a lot wont order it for you" That turned me off right then. Why inject negative comments into a conversation with a customer?
I have been buying guns in this county over 40 years. Most shops know me on site. And I know they would order anything I wanted when i dropped the money on the counter.
Something about his tone turned me off.
Thread Jack
The search continues.
Oh I did find out from the web site that if i buy one before the years end , I can get 50% off another barrel.

Well I was looking for the Snake Slayer II but none in my area. Well I found one in my area with the short barrel. But than I found the Ranger II and it comes with the driving holster.
The two are the same gun just different grips.
So I decided on the Ranger II and will change the grips later.
Bond is also giving 50% off another barrel if you purchase any Bond this year. So I think a 9mm or 380 is in my future too.

I think it would be better with a longer strap the secured in the trigger guard area. ( See above.)
Been looking at these guns for a year. Walked by and winked at this one for a week before it winked back at me.
ordered 2.5 barrel in 380 yesterday. 4 week wait.
Next some Rose wood Grips.
