Cabelas in Hamburg PA was bustling but not overly crowded.
Picked up a rather unique handgun and a few boxes of .45 Colt & .410 ammo (.22 Long Rifle not available but I have plenty in stock). Process took two hours but there's no boring waiting time at Cabelas with gear as far as the eyes can see.
I'm getting into multi-function firearms for whatever ammo.

Congrats on the new club. Looks like a keeper.
I was in a Cabelas in Phoenix. Seemed about ready to capsize, with noone on the fishing side of the shop and everyone on the gun side.
Looks like a Thompson/Center Contender.
Was there myself a couple of weekends ago (the rainy one) and saw the same thing. What’s up with that? ;^)
Ugly as hell but, Kewel looking at that same time.
Want...
Jealous....
Oh, yeah. My credit card became a living thing trying to climb out of my pocket. :-)
Looks like assault barrels to me.
Because the boating accident doesn't happen until after the guns are purchased...
Indeed it does.
Usually not a huge fan of such things, but that looks to be a great wood’s bumming gun to have in your pack.
Looks like you might need a bipod for that thing.
LOL
Sounded like he was in a windstorm...
Actually, you’re not too far from wrong. It’s a solid handgun. I have a tripod but my old wrist still suffices ;-{)
Rossi? Are they making them any better? Last time I looked at one, you could see machine marks all over the barrel. (.357)
I have always liked single shot guns, tho not for protection etc.
It was always enjoyable to just walk around and plink with a simple, easy to load rifle or pistol.
When I was a teenager around 1961 I bought a really cheap Mendoza single shot pistol. It had a simple plastic frame with a rolling block action made of stamped sheet metal. It had about a six inch barrel with an adjustable rear sight. There were two sheet metal clips on each side of the frame which gave it the appearance of a six shooter but in fact just held spare ammo.
It was probably about as simple and cheap as it was possible to make a perfectly good working pistol. It was about as accurate as any .22 pistol and more accurate than a lot. I think it sold for $12 new in the box.
