    Scored a couple new additions from an estate auction and picked them up last night. Super stoked about the M1 as it's my first and this thing seems to be in pretty mint condition. Might almost feel bad about shooting it. Almost. Also... I think it's time for a bigger safe. Bursting at the seams here. I think I'm up to 30+ in there.

    Ruger 22/45 is a good pistol. Lots of fun to shoot. Install a Tandemkross or Volquartsen trigger kit and it'll be a great pistol.

    The question is, how big will your new safe be?

    How do you like your TS2 Orange?

    Eventually not big enough :crackup: I suppose the question now is how long I want to delay that eventuality and whether my bank account agrees lol.

    Best shooting handgun I own*

    *I have not yet shot that 92xi in the door next to it as it's either been too cold or I've been too busy to get it out. That said, based on my initial handling of it, I do not expect it to beat out the TS2.

    Safes are like a garage. It’ll never stay big enough.
    I’m needing another safe but holding off until I figure out if it’s time to sell some off.

    Maybe it’s time to fortify a room by adding a safe door. Eventually the room won’t be big enough but it buys you some time.

    I bought what I thought was a large safe only to learn the same. It’s not big enough. In all fairness, I was warned.

    Santa brought my wife a TS2 Orange. She loves it. Her Shadow 2 and DS9 have not received any love since.

    I had the same idea. Years ago I built an edition. A 20x20 family room. Under it was a poured basement mostly underground with no exterior entry. My plan was to fortify the ceiling to hold back fire and mount a vault door in the cut out from original basement to new. Of course the wife had a much better plan.

    After contemplating buying a 4th safe, I decided it was best to sell some stuff that doesn't get shot much. Sold a Stevens Model 35 single shot 22lr pistol in about 30 minutes on a local forum, a Browning 52 22lr in a couple of hours. Just listed a Browning 42 in 410 and two Colt BP revolvers NIB (1851 and 1862), will see if I get any bites on those locally.

    In the mean time I got a 7 day form 4 approval for a Wolfman, and waiting on the other 3 to clear (submitted in December). Mainly the Primal for my 45-70 Dark lever gun.

    Anyone ever shot a Big Horn Armory 500S&W White Lightning rifle?

    A buddy of mine (former wera racer), recently inherited tens of millions, a mansion, helicopter, maserati, porsche, private jet, property in costa rica, etc etc

    There is a 'secret room' in the house. There's a book in a bookcase that when you open the book, it has a keypad and the bookcase swings open into a smaller fortified room...then there's a another hidden bank vault type door that goes into the main gun room.

    It's straight outta john wick. walls of weapons on full display.

    I'll try to post some pics without incriminating anyone. :cool:

    Years ago my dad’s collection outgrew several safe and fireproof file cabinets. Ended up building a vault with a big bank type door. Pretty neat to walk in and see everything on display now.

    My ex's grandfather had a S&W 41 from way back when. It was one of his snake guns. He owned a few lumber mills and spent a lot of time in the woods. It was such a fun gun to shoot.

    The 41 is a true classic. Some day I want a Performance Center Model 41 (rail and such). I'd sell a few Mark II's for one. If the PC Model 41 was threaded I'd probably have one already. Or a Volquartsen.

    I have one of these (base model, not PC) and absolutely love it. Such a nice gun to shoot. Curious about the performance center version as I honestly don’t know what could be improved about it. If you get a chance, buy one. I found mine for under $1K
     
  19. I have 3 of these, well one is my kids gun. They are a metric shit ton of fun.

    The bookcase vault door leads to a large room, then there's another hidden vault door that goes into the main 'safe'.
