A while back I had posted about buying a Walther PPK and finally after shooting a bersa thunder, a sig 238, and a ruger lcp I chose the Springfield 911 in 380 acp. My reasons was simply this gun felt right. The closest to the feel was the sig 238 but at almost $100 more I could not fathom the...

I''m waiting on a couple of books to read before I start reloading for my new Pedersoli Sharps in 45/70. I am familiar with the different levels of reloading for this caliber and understand the difference between the trapdoor actions which will apply to me and the other two that do not such as...

It is funny how sometimes the answers are staring you right in the face. Lucky for me I frequent this forum. A long time ago I had asked for advice on what to take with me on my RV for protection and I wanted to avoid going to California, but the wife insists since a majority of the national...

Me and a couple of my Army buddies (retired), went to the shooting range the other day. This is not a range where we are members but thought we would try it out anyway. When we went to our stalls the Range Officer was very nice and talkative and wanted to know what we were shooting as he said...
