Photos Knives & Guns

Sorry, just as I pressed "post", I realized that mine is an AMT Backup, the first, single-action version. It's also a fixed barrel gun, and if you can see the tiny sights it's deadly at up to ten yards, I imagine that a good shooter could make solid hits farther than that. Before I got "essential tremors" in my hands, at ten yards I could keep a whole magazine in an index card placed with the short sides on top and bottom (to simulate a heart). With modern .380 ammo, even in a short barreled version like either of our guns, that's a pretty much guaranteed "stop" if you can do it under pressure. Now I carry a larger firearm; it's a bit uncomfortable, but I shoot it far better and it's a 9mm. I have the same gun in 10mm (an XD/M Elite Compact), but I have yet to build the proficiency with it that I have with the 9mm, which is still marginal. The problem with essential tremors is that both the disorder and the medications to somewhat control it both mess up your balance. As is often said, gettin' old ain't for sissies.

Thanks for reminding me, I need to vacuum seal mine and keep it in the toilet tank just in case.

A buddy of mine had that same AMT years ago and we shot it quite a bit back then 👍🏼

Hard to go wrong with red & black. Is the Ruger 10/22 the "Bugout" of rifles? Light duty & endless aftermarket

I dunno never even held a Bugout but I couldn't even tell that was a 10/22 :) Looks fancier than my Sig 522. Mine is pretty plain jane. Accurate AF though with Volquartsen choked barrel and trigger.

Nice collection! Do you find those mags reliable? Mine started as a bump stock but when it was made illegal it turned into this. The receiver, bolt & sub 2 lbs volquartsen trigger are all that is left from previous build
