Pietta Model 1858 New Army Brass Frame .44 Black Powder Revolver

Pietta Model 1858 New Army Brass Frame .44 Black Powder Revolver

And now it’s time for something completely different! Although many people purchase the Pietta Model 1858 as a display piece or to learn more about gun history, this is actually a serviceable revolver that is surprisingly quick on the draw. Therefore, if you’re planning to have any quick-draw competitions, you can’t go wrong with the Pietta Model 1858.

When you think about it, any future SHTF scenario during which you’ll need a gun will probably require a quick draw for survival, so you just might want to add this revolver to your weapons cache. The gun handles well and is accurate, but you will need some practice working with the caps if you want to be able to get the most out of the Pietta Model 1858.

Inexpensive Doesn’t Mean “Cheap”

Whether you choose one or several of these guns, remember to always make time to take them to the shooting range. As any skilled shooter knows, each gun feels and acts differently, and you must practice to be fully prepared to use your weapons during an emergency situation. Also, be sure to take all of the proper precautions so that you can access at least one gun in a hurry.
If you have to decide between two of these cheaper guns and one gun that costs around $500, be sure to carefully consider your overall usage and needs. Any of the guns on this list will offer you a much-needed advantage during an emergency, but they won’t necessarily be as powerful. Everyone needs one solid handgun, but if you have that covered already, it may be best to choose two guns instead of one to increase your cache.

CVA Hunter – .45-70 ,,MY NEXT PURCHASE

CVA Hunter – .45-70

Now something for you heavy metal fans out there. This single shot break action rifle is just one of those guns that folks tend to fall in love with.
Whether that’s due to the eccentricity factor, the low price, or the fact that this gun exceeds the expectations for its price point, it’s hard to say.

There is just something about a single-shot rifle that kind of draws us in. In fact, this rifle is available in several of our favorite calibers (.223, .243., .308, and 7mm-08) under our $250 ceiling.
Something about this unusual rifle, available with a 22″ or 25″ barrel, just seems like it’s calling out for a caliber that’s similarly off the beaten path. We could just as easily argue for any of the other variants, particularly the .308 and .243 Win.
This gun isn’t for everyone, of course, but if you’re looking for a great value that also brings some swagger, the CVA Hunter is an excellent candidate.

Taurus 738 TCP .380

Taurus 738 TCP .380

The Taurus 738 TCP .380 Semi-Automatic Centerfire Pistol may not be on our list of best all-time handguns at any price point, but if you need something for less than $249, this is a very solid choice.
This super lightweight pistol weighs in at only 10.2 ounces, which makes it very useful as a concealed carry weapon. The construction and build quality of this pistol is solid, and the magazine release is ambidextrous for your convenience, lefties.

Taurus has been making huge strides in build quality and reputation in recent years and it shows on the range. The benefits also show up on the price tag

Hi-Point C9 Handgun – 9mm, I Love Mine

Hi-Point C9 Handgun – 9mm

The previously mentioned Taurus 738 TCP .380 may retail for more than the Hi-Point C9, but user reviews actually favor the less expensive C9 pistol.
This American made handgun can be found for well under $200, yes it’s true, and it features a nice ergonomic grip, a high impact polymer frame and a +P rating to handle powerful loads. It isn’t lightweight by any means.

All in all, this is a nice little piece for the price and it’s got a good reputation for refusing to jam or misfire. For a bargain basement price of $160 at Academy, this Hi-Point 9mm is one of the best values you’re going to find. Period.

MAIN STREAM MEDIA BURN IN HELL, forgive me Lord

Matthew Dowd is the typical liberal worm, I loved the look on his face when Trump won. Now the mainstream liberal media try to exploit any thing they can on any conservative, Christian or anyone and everything that goes against their lazy baby killing all sins are ok way of thinking.
  I have seen first hand local media take an interview and cut it and edit it to change what the lady truly said just to have some dirty laundry to broadcast, an innocent man set in jail for over a year while a child abuser continued on torturing her children until finally a CPS investigator seen the truth, YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA SAYS.
  I do not watch the national news other than for a few minutes just to see what half truths and out right lies they are spreading. But if you watch it for even a short period of time and pay close attention they contradict each other and themselves on a regular basis.
 The main stream media promotes violence against hard working honest Christians that are trying to live their life as best they can, they promote anarchy and violence against our public servants and condone the violent acts of arson and looting by the way they glamorize the riots and denounce our justice system and peace officers. I have never seen an unbiased reporter or news broadcast on ABC,CBS nor NBC my entire life. It might be a sin and I beg the Lord to forgive me but I get satisfaction knowing that these so called reporters will spend an eternity if the fires of HELL.    

20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FLYING REBEL FLAG!!

I just seen on the news where 2 white kids, early twenties looked like, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for flying the Confederate battle flag. Charged under a law that was meant to target gang activities. They are not members of any street gang nor any other type of club or group. This is BULLSHIT. what about the Constitutional law against excessive punishment for a crime, and WHAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED ?? Whether you support the flying of the Confederate battle flag or not it is protected under our FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE. The judge that handed this sentence down should be sent to PRISON for crimes against the Constitution. Rioters and looters burn our cities and police cars to the ground and get away with it with no charges of any kind. WTF has happened here, somebody has got to STOP SHIT LIKE THIS!  Child molesters, rapist and murderers get less time in prison for their TRUE CRIMES then this....5 pickup trucks riding around flying the Confederate battle flag IS NOT A CRIME .  These kids fell out crying in tears and sobs when the dumb ass judge handed this sentence down, they are not criminal's or gang members, THIS COULD JUST AS EASILY BEEN YOUR KIDS SENT TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FLYING A TEXAS FLAG OR A MALCOLM X FLAG OR ANY OTHER SYMBOL THAT THEY HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SUPPORT. This judge needs to be REMOVED from holding office or law license of any type.   The same for the prosecutor in the case, this is nothing but out right ass kissing the liberals, MAYBE PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN STEP IN AND HELP with a pardon, hell obama handed out more pardons than any other President ever has, SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO STEP IN AND HELP THESE KIDS NOW. This boy and girl are not criminals but after 20 years in prison they will damn sure be criminals when they get out! 

  Decision On Remington Lawsuit Pending

It’s been the subject of endless investigative reports, the allegedly defective trigger on the Remington 700 rifle. At any moment a judge will decide whether or not to accept the agreement Remington has made with plaintiffs in the case.
This is one of those cases where it’s hard to trust the media, due to the fact that they utterly hate all firearms manufacturers, but there is evidence indicating that some triggers are in fact defective. The scope of the problem is up for debate, but it’s hard to argue that the trigger system at issue is a good one.
Here’s the low-down on the case.

U.S. District Judge Ortrie Smith of Kansas City said he’ll decide within 30 days whether to accept the settlement affecting 7.5 million Remington rifles.
Under the settlement, the company has offered to replace the trigger mechanism on most of its popular Model 700 rifles – if the owners ask for the retrofit.
But a Montana man who’s been fighting 16 years for a recall of the rifles, saying the trigger mechanism is defective and that Remington knew about it, has urged the judge to reject the settlement – as have attorneys general from nine states and the District of Columbia.
Richard Barber of Willow Creek, whose 9-year-old son, Gus, was killed in 2000 by a Model 700 rifle that fired without the trigger being pulled, during a family hunting trip, has filed objections to the settlement.
Barber says Remington should not be allowed to continue to say nothing is wrong with the rifles – a statement he says discourages gun owners from getting the defective product fixed.
At a hearing earlier this week, Judge Smith also noted that in the two years since the settlement was announced, only 22,000 rifle owners have filed claims – a claims rate of 0.29 percent.
CNBC reported that Smith said he’s concerned about the “exceedingly small” number of claims, because it seems “inconceivable to me that someone would have a firearm that might injure a loved one and not have it fixed.”
Barber also has said Remington should replace the trigger mechanisms on older Model 600 rifles, instead of offering only a $12.50 voucher for Remington products, as part of the settlement.
If Smith rejects the settlement, the case could go to trial.
Remington agreed to the settlement, but has continued to say publicly that nothing is wrong with its popular Model 700 and other 700-series bolt-action rifles. The settlement also covers some Model 600 rifles, the Seven, the Sportsman 78 and XP-100.

While the media has been using the case to paint the entire firearms industry as evil, it may actually be the case that some triggers are in fact defective.
If this judge rejects the settlement, it’s going to cost Remington a small fortune. However, ironically it may actually benefit the firearms industry if Remington gets hit hard financially over this lawsuit. That’s because gun control advocates would love to use this case to try to push new laws about manufacturer liability. If the existing laws work the way they are supposed to, progressives will have a tough time demanding new laws.
