Rolled into the Hamilton gun show this afternoon. Really, the only t hing Im looking for at a gun show these days is a good deal on large ammo cans. I have plenty of guns..although not necessarily enough guns…so it really takes a good deal to catch my eye and catch my wallet. But…managed to find one:

Found a paperless like-new Ruger 22/45 MkIV. I already have a new model 22/45 sitting in the safe, but one is none, right?

I also stopped by Trader Bros on my way back into Missoula. They do have some odd and interesting stuff from time to time. I sifted through a bin of holster, and there were some very nice new Galco pistol holsters in there at outstanding prices ($25). There were also some Bianchi UM84 magazine pouches. These ones accommodate double stack 9mm mags, so these will wind up being allocated across my mountain of Ruger P95’s.

Price?$7.50 ea. Sixty bucks for all eight. Seemed like a good deal to me.

The Bianchi UM84 holster isn’t a great holster,  but it isnt really that bad either. Its big appeal is that it accommodates a very broad range of pistols. My bulky P95’s, 1911s, HiPowers, Smith and Wessons, etc. Nowadays you can find surplus ones in the junk bins at gun shows for less than $20. I’ve never met anyone who used one in the military and liked it, but for bouncing around in the woods its been just fine for me.

Off to the Beta Site tomorrow.
