Smith-Wesson-22A1-4
I’ve been using these 5 1/2″ barrel models for training in my classes for quite a while, and now have stocked a few of these slick little 4″ barrel models. They still have the adjustable target sights and the neat rail on top for red dot or holographic sights, just a shorter barrel. I have some folks who keep one of these in their vehicle for “just such an occasion” as they might need it. Davidson’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee comes with it.

Winchester M1 carbine. cal. .30 carbine
A really nice action in an upgraded stock. The Winchester manufactured caliber .30 M1 carbine is a fast action piece designed for CQB. Close quarters battle. So it’s perfect for when the zombies are at the door, or for some really fun times at the range. It has a nice, shiny sport stock and great peep sights. 15 round magazine.

Springfield M1 Garand. Cal. .30-06
I can’t believe I was able to trade for this one. It’s the prettiest I’ve seen in a while. The metal has been re-parkerized and the stock is just gorgeous. The previous owner kept it in a gun case in the gun safe because it’s so nice. He did shoot it some, and told me the throat gauged at “3″. I took it to my range and got 2″ groups at 100 yds using Lake City ball ammo. I even started a dope book on it. The 100 yd settings are L5 + 11. Check out the pictures. I don’t believe you’ll find another like this for this price.

I had to get one of these in. It’s the compact version of the 24/7 pro and allows a choice of mags, either a 10 or 12 round extended. It has all the features of the full size 24/7 and includes the new decock safety. This one is brand new in the box and comes with Davidson’s lifetime replacement guarantee in addition to the factory warranty. These sell new for over $475.00. I’ll sell mine cheaper and throw in a Fobus SP11B paddle holster in the package.

Just in. I figured I’d check one of these out to see what everyone’s been talking about. Boy was I impressed. A 20″ barrel graces this nicely machined dual slide action pump gun with a cylinder bore, bead sight and great trigger. I patterned it at 10 yards and got about 14-15″ spread, however, at 4 yards, it blew a hole about 3″ in diameter through 1-1/2″ of plywood. This was with #8 shot. It has a 6 round capacity, but you may only require one.

In stock now, one great little double-action-only pocket pistol that is ideal for concealed carry or a backup piece. The .32acp rounds are still available and a little less costly than the .380, but don’t let that smaller caliber fool you, as the .32 is a devastating bullet. Just ask James Bond ‘007′. Pocket clips are available for left or right handed shooters.

CZ82 in 9 x 18 Makarov
While they are still available, y’all might consider takin’ a closer look at the CZ82 semiauto pistol that’s becoming more and more popular. I can’t seem to keep them in stock.
Why? Because it is a great shooting mid size pistol with a nice, easy trigger squeeze in both double and single action, it has a good capacity (12 +1), it’s an all-metal frame and slide, it’s designed so it fits both large and small hands with a web friendly grip high on the backstrap, ammunition is inexpensive and readily available, it’s a good caliber with plenty of stopping power without over-penetration, and personal defense (jhp) bullets are available.
Boy, that was a mouthful, wasn’t it?
The pistol has enough weight to absorb a good portion of the felt recoil and these fine handguns are extremely accurate.
Looking down the bore will be a little concerning, though. The lands and grooves are almost invisible. I’ve had several folks tell me “Boomer, this thing’s all shot out!! I can’t even see the rifling!!”
Well, no, it isn’t. It has what’s called a polygonal bore and the rifling is hard to see unless it gets really dirty. Believe me, it’s there.
Many of these surplus guns will show some honest wear from holster carry, but inside, where it counts, they are in great shape. So don’t be afraid of buying one that’s graded average to good.
Take down for cleaning is real easy, using the trigger guard slide release. So, it’s easy to maintain.
I’m trying to keep several in stock, but it seems like I’m ordering these just about every other week. Who’s buying them, you ask? Everyone from the gals & small frame guys to the big guys who want an inexpensive backup piece. They’re a great CCW handgun.
The 9×18 Makarov round lies just in between the .380 acp (9×17) and the 9mm Luger (9×19), so I’ve found it to be a great fit for high capacity, good power and little risk of over penetration.
Come out to Chigger Ridge and we’ll put a few rounds through one on the range. I’d bet you’ll be surprised.
