In following TFL member EdInk's great example: Who else other than me would like to see Ruger come out with a .45 ACP DA revolver? It would give them a model to compete with the S&W model 625,not to mention it would make me very happy. I'd like to see it offered in both blued and stainless,with...

Okay,change in plans...I was considering buying my first 1911,and you guys were kind enough to offer lots of good advice regarding same. Now,I've changed my mind [and it's a darn good thing I did;the old one was worn out]. The Government Model is on the back burner and I'm looking at a Ruger...

I'm thinking about getting a .22 semi-auto rifle. I've narrowed it down to the Ruger 10/22 and the Marlin Model 60. Any thoughts on which is the better in terms of reliability? It will be mainly for plinking,but I just may use it for squirrels,and having lost a tree-rat before due to a finicky...

Okay,this has been bugging me for years,and I need someone to solve this mystery for me. In the great Clint Eastwood flick "The Good,The Bad,And The Ugly",Eli Wallach as Tuco goes into a gun store. He handles several revolvers,but the first one he picks up is like no revolver I've ever seen. It...

Here's one for ya...Scientists say that smell is the strongest "memory trigger" for humans . You know,the smell of freshly-mowed grass in summer,your mom baking cookies...So I got to wondering: What smells bring back your fond memories of gun-related things? I'll open the discussion with my own...
