Smith & Wesson M&P®22 Compact – Threaded Barrel A nifty plinker and small varmint dispatcher

8/31/2020 Ah yes, the cold is coming; mind numbing, soul sucking, frigid air, and butt deep snow. Yes, I do realize I moved to Maine voluntarily, but that was to flee California socialism, an intrusive government, and associated loss of personal freedom.

Ruger’s Hawkeye Predator in 223 Rem Part II
