    there is an unused blued beretta 21A with the box at my local GS that is seriously calling my name. I have no use for it other than a target gun...but i want it in a bad way, the price is right too.

    Is an S&W K-32 irrational?


    They used to be hard to sell. By the time I decided it might be a good idea for a geezer gun, they had been discovered. Now theyve moved into crazy price category.

    Maaayyybbeee. I got lucky and found mine by accident for what is a low price for a k-frame in general, not to mention the near mythical K-32. It's not perfect, but is a good shooter.

    Ok, it's not a pre-number K-32, but it is a 6" K-frame in 32SWL.

    I have a 6" K-22 barrel to rebore to 32. Im keeping my eyes open for a K-22 cylinder, then a reasonably priced centerfire adjustable sighted K-38 of some sort, a 14 or 15. No rush, just watching.

    I want a large caliber muzzle loader that shoots a giant plume of black power with a large boom. Not sure exactly what the stat of the art is/was for those, but that is my irrational desire.

    Oh, and some sort of mini cannon to go along with it.

    The mid 1800s, 58 cal was common. In the late 1700s, 76 cal was common.

    When I was a kid, a friend of my dads had an African trade musket flintlock that was 4 gauge, which is slightly over a 1 inch bore. I had it a while enjoying its awesomeness, but never shot it.

    Freedom Arms Model 83 - saw it in Alien Nation and have always wanted one. But, it's too long to carry so I decided I need a Smith & Wesson 460XVR 3.5″. The shorter barrel will make it easier to tuck into my waistband.

    I remember reading a post by @Sensei in which he compared the sizes of an 11.5” AR, an MP5(?), and a Sig Rattler. After that post, I kind of want a Rattler. I know the kinds of scenarios that the Rattler was designed to be used in. They don’t really apply to me. I want one anyway.
