I just checked and I have never had an AR anything

Most of my hunting is done with Single Shots...

It's a single action at heart. They are very toolish but the ability to toy around with them and change to suit is very inviting for all types of folks. How some come to wear all black, sport drop knee pistol holsters, and wear finger-less gloves to accent with their $300 "tactical" sunglasses, is totally beyond me. But their money is good, and they are active sport shooters.

If Jim were to try one I wonder what it would be. They don't make them in .44 Special or .41 Magnum but they do in 10mm and .45 ACP! I have a newer, to my collection, in 9mm blow-back that I really favor. I like the simplicity and inexpensive plinking. I even can tote my Reeder Blackhawk in 9mm to accompany it.

*9mm pistol barrel threads are 1/2-28 threads and many 9mm Carbines have 1/2-36. Just to screw with you.

them around as they are, to me, the perfect home defense gun, especially if the home has women or teen aged children in it. Both the ladies and teen aged kids can be taught to use one effectively. The recoil is non existent and you have plenty of rounds at your disposal.

I sighted mine in and that is it. I haven't shot them much but check the batteries on the red dots from time to time to make sure they are OK. We have little combat shoots here at the shop from time to time and I use one of them in the shoot but that is about it. An AR is sorta like a Glock. They have no class and no character but they work and do their job well. To me that is reason enough to have a couple in the house.

I to like my levers and single actions. Especially the .41 Magnum. Modern enough for me and I can still unload my magazine more accurately than some of them with a fancy black rifles.

In .25 or 9.3 but I have rifles I really like that I don't get to shoot as much as I want to. Never enough time!

the indoor range. I just enjoy handguns too much I guess to buy an AR. Someday. . .
