Which firearm would you impulse buy?

What's the difference between the 396 and the 696?

The 696 is stainless steel frame. The 396 is Scandium.

I have a 329PD, which is a scandium frame on the N-Frame. It is so light it feels like it is made out of plastic.

What's the difference between the 396 and the 696?

From Google:

Key Differences:

• Material: The 696 is stainless steel. The 396 often features a scandium alloy frame to reduce weight.
• Weight: The 696 is heavier, providing better recoil management for heavy loads. The 396 (Night Guard) is designed to be lighter for carry (approx. 23.4 oz).
• Barrel Length: The 696 typically has a 3-inch barrel, while the 396 has varied slightly, with the Night Guard featuring a shorter, optimized barrel.
• Design/Usage: The 696 is a 5-shot L-Frame from the late 90s. The 396 is part of the newer Airlite/Night Guard series designed for faster handling and concealed carry.

Both revolvers are well-regarded for providing .44 Special power in a compact package, with the 696 focusing on durability and the 396 focusing on portability.

ETA: Oops. Responded before I saw Orygun's reply.

Impulse bought us a couple MP5 type clones. Picked up Friday.

An AP5 P (HK MP5K clone), and an AP5 SD (Sorta MP5 SD clone, just shroud & regular short K barrel tho).

Hilariously neat-o! Literally chuckling!

Tri-lug Hub mount OTW for overbore, and received a tri-lug mount the other day for obsidian 9 we already have. Plus have fixed thread mount insert for the obsidian, as well as thread mount for overbore.

J&G sales $20 mags lock in fine. HK mags, KCI mags & MKE mags also fine.

-Also ordered up a 9MM Shorty K suppressor, as well as another overbore. New overbore being a Griffin Sportsman Ultralight HD .46. Non impulse buys on those tho.

Really cool, but $2700 is a bit steep for me.

I'm after this next. Remington M81, designed by the man himself, JM Browing. The first successful commercial semiauto design. In .35 Rem, same caliber that dispatched Bonnie & Clyde. Not really impulse because I'm saving for it, but it has no practical use for me. It's just the historical aspect that appeals to my C&R fetish. PAX

No kidding. I spent a little time trying to find a price, but gave up.

Years ago I had a Remington Autoloading Rifle in 35 Rem.

Like this one with a Redfield aperture (but not as nice). PAX

Similar. That looks like a Model 81. The Remington Autoloading rifle was the first version, before being named the Model 8. Of course I figured that out after I let the gun go...

When I was a wee lad, the rookie at deer camp, I humped a M8 in .30 Rem my first 2 seasons in the '60s. I'd like an M8 but this M81 crossed my path for a decent price. They aren't around much. The same shop has a M8 in .300 Savage but it's over a grand. A few bucks too much for a range toy. The M81 is more or less a push, ducats wise, for an early blade SKS i moved a couple months ago. I only had about $200 into the SKS but sold it and a few rounds of ammo for close to the asking price of the M81.PAX

I had an SKS and we had fun with it, but I'd much rather have one of these long recoil Remingtons, just so I could let people shoot it. One of the strangest recoiling guns.

I have a remington model four in 6mm, very pretty gun.

Ruger MKI Target.

My first post in this thread I did scratch the itch last fall.

My safe queen is a Remington.

If I see another Fusion Firearms XP Pro listed for the price of one I saw locally, I'm jumping on it.
Glock mag compatible I just wish they made the XP with a compact frame so I can use my G19 mag surplus instead of having to buy G17 mags

Any Winchester Model 88 or Savage Model 99

I'd rather have both and will if I'm expedient, PAX

Impulse buy? Not many at this point, but a 5" Ruger RedHawk in .45 Colt might tempt me. I know a .44 is more practical, but I already load for .45 and some of my "Ruger Only" loads are stout enough for anything I'm liable to need.
