Did anyone see Glenn Beck's program on CNN tonight? I don't get cable here and am wondering what your thoughts were on the program.

While cleaning out some old ammo boxes the other day I came across some stashed away Remington .30-06 "Accelerator" rounds. These were .55gr .223 rounds in a plastic sabot loaded into the .30-06 case. That got me to thinking. With the advent of the .460 and .500 S&W Mag, has anyone attempted...

Forgive me, but I have to show off... I just recently purchased a Model 19 .357 and while picking up the gun at the dealer's I spotted an N-Frame S&W on the bottom shelf of his case. At first I thought it was the .44 Mag I'd seen before but a closer look showed it was a Model 57 .41 Magnum --...

What's your interest in handgun shooting? Are you mostly interested in personal/home defense, hunting, target/competition shooting, cowboy/reenactments, police/military service guns, collecting or something else? The poll is multiple choice but it works best if you select only your main...

I just inspected a 1911 Government Model at my local shop that was marked Hi-Standard Manufacturing Co. It's brand new, no frills 1911 with a matte (parkerized) finish. The only "extra" was a relief cut on the ejection port. The overall quality looks decent with a good fit and the finish is...

Breaking News Flash: KCBS (SF) reporting that V.P. Cheney has accidentally shot and injured a man Quail hunting with him in Texas. Happened yesterday. Hunting partner named Harry Whittington was quail hunting with the VP. When the VP turned to shoot a quail he peppered Whittington with...

As some of you might remember from last year, I lost about a dozen handguns during a burglary. The theft was accomplished by defeating a Homak-type steel gun cabinet (not a safe). One of the guns stolen was a S&W Model 39 9mm. While the frame had been bead-blasted to bare aluminum and I...

I dunno that this question has been asked, but here goes. Another thread on SD shootings centered around the immediate aftermath of the shooting. My question is: Does anyone mix ammo loads/brands in their SD handgun? For instance - in a wheelgun, do you load 2 rounds of 110gr JHP .38's...

It was difficult to come up with a catchy subject line for this one so that I'd get your attention. Many gun laws contain language to keep firearms out of the hands of "the mentally ill". By and large, most of us agree with that basic concept - people who are dangerously unstable, like a...

I just picked up a Colt 1911 and thought I'd share it with the members. My apologies for the low quality of the photos, rush job. :D This is a Colt Night Officer's model - One of 350 made for Lew Horton in the 90's. It's a Combat Commander frame with an officer's model slide & barrel, plus...

I spotted a Colt in the display case today and it turned out to be an interesting gun (to me). I've put some money down on it so it doesn't walk off. Colt "Night Officer's" Model - S/N 0N01xx - One of 300 created for Lew Horton by Colt in 1993. The gun consists of a matte black Commander...

Need some advice on prices -- I have a chance to buy a pre-Series 70 Colt Combat Commander .45, used but in excellent shape, with the box & papers. Price at the dealer is $850, which may be fair, but seems about $100 high to me. Anyone else care to comment?

I'm thinking ahead and wondering what kind of "stocking stuffers" to get for my favorite shooters. I'm looking for good gun/shooting/ccw related items for $20 and under (not including tax). What kind of stuff (besides piles of ammo!) would you folks like to find in your stocking for Christmas?

I purchased a S&W Model 432PD recently and finally made it out to the range to test fire this diminuitive little gun. For those of you who don't know the gun, the Model 432 is a small, Airweight alloy J-Frame hammerless Centennial revolver chambered for the .32 H&R Magnum round. Tipping the...

Can anyone tell me if they've seen a S&W Model 432 for sale in their area and what the retail price is? This is the hammerless S&W J-Frame chambered in .32 H&R Mag. Thanks in advance.

Just visited the S&W website and they are showing 2 new models for the .41 Magnum cartridge! (See photos attached). A Lightweight Medium Frame .41 Magnum! S&W Model 357PD - SKU 160230 It's a 6-shot, 4" barreled Medium Scandium Alloy Frame, Titanium cylinder, black stainless steel barrel...

A friend of mine wants to sell me his Kimber Custom Compact Royale. It's still in it's box, almost broken in. I think he's probably put less than 400 rounds through it with no problem. This is a pre-Series II gun, stainless and is the size of a Colt Officer's model. I want to give him fair...

This thread is for anyone wanting to talk about a .32 caliber revolver. I don't know why I became fascinated with the little .32's but they have always appealed to me. If you have 'em, post some pics! What do you do with yours? Anyone use a .32 S&W Long for CCW? Do you have a unique use...
