Shooting the Kahr 9mm
The iron sights on the carbie are supposed to be pretty good, and I want my kids to get a solid foundation in shooting irons, so I’ll probably not put on a red dot. I want the kids to learn irons while they have the sharp eyes.
Yep, it’s smart to keep those commie pistols around with extra ammo and mags. A perfect trade item for somebody who urgently needs to arm up. And cheap enough to cache here and there with ammo, just in case.
At least purchase Iver Johnson internals for the bolt, including the springs that go in the bolt. Then when you heat the bolt up firing a few rounds in rapid succession and the bolt parts fly off, you can pull the bolt and send it with the parts and I can put it together for you using my specially designed tool for the job ... or just let me know you want to try it yourself and I’ll send you the tool and you can return it when you’re finished. I don’t offer free work to too many folks, Matt. If you fire two or three mags in quick succession, you will have parts failure with ‘after GI parts’ manufactured rifles.
Sounds like good advice. I will remember to get more info on the carbine, the work might have already been done. The seller is in LE.
It would be great for that. The .30 carbine has mild recoil. The sights are the "GI" peep type, easy to use, and accurate and easily adjustable. Ammo is also reasonably cheap and readily available. I have no problem using the steel cased stuff as long as I don't mix brass with steel the same session and clean well after using.
Here's a handy link for more info on the Universal...

Yep, them Moseys are definitely a girl’s gun. ;-)
Sadly, I don’t think that’s a photoshop ... someone actually did that to a Mosina! The horrors!! ... Well, the only consolation is, they probably broke their wrist with the first test firing.
That’s INSANE!
I wouldn’t fire that with YOUR wrist!
My brother has one of those old carbines for sale a few years back. I passed on it because I didn’t want to deal with another caliber, dies, powders, bullets, etc.
That was stupid as he let it got for $150 IIRC.
Would love to find one of the third one down. My 1944 Mosina edition stainless bolt is pit free, even after sixty + years.
>>> “I wish I could get my wife interested in shooting. Tried one time but after the first shot she said she didn’t want any more!”
What a shame. What did you have her shoot, if I may ask?
IMO it’s easier to train basic skills on a long arm & then transfer to handgun, if that is what is desired; however, a first taste should be something suited to the new shooter’s body style & aggression (or lack thereof).
I had her shooting a .38 special!
“...I wish I could get my wife interested in shooting...”
My wife even objects to our Sig 380 biting the web of her hand. She prefers a 1926-produced Colt 32 hammerless.
Of course the ole saw is that a hit with a 22 short is better than a miss with a 44 magnum. Nowadays there are lots of attractive 22 cal light defensive handguns.
My wife likes shooting the 44 magnum Anaconda but in reality the handloads being fired are closer to 44 Special velocity.
I carry a Kahr P45 most of the time now. I had been thinking about a smaller deep cover weapon like the PM9. Thanks for posting this.
You mean like my certified battlefield pickup 1941 Mauser:
