I'm not trying to cause a controversy here so please let's not get all heated up over the topic . . . I do custom leatherwork in the winter while I'm in AZ - I'm just curious as to your thoughts on "safety straps" . . . First, I know a lot of you wear commercial CC holsters - either on the...

Recently purchased a Ruger 357 LCR . . . I have "speed strips" . . . . Does HKS make a "speedloader" that works for the LCR - 5 shot - 38spl/357? I've been searching but haven't had a whole lot of luck - if they do, can someone give me the part number/model number to look for and a source...

It's probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. I just bought a 357 Ruger LCR - I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet but I like the trigger pull, feel of the grip - fit's my hand well, etc. I won't be able to get to the range for a couple of weeks yet so I haven't had the experience...

I know this is a blackpowder forum but am posting this here as some of you might enjoy it. I collect old images with a particular interest in World War I. Dating back to the Civil War, weapons were often used as photo props when a soldier had his picture taken. I've seen a number of Civil War...

I'm still doing research and hunting for a 38 spl. snubbie for CC. I've seen a little, but not a lot, on Charter Arms. My understanding is that these are American made. Can some of you that either have or have had Charter Arms pistols give your thoughts on them? i.e. - quality, accuracy...

Somewhere . . and I thought it was on this forum . . I read a thread about a High Standard 9 shot revolver with a swing out cylinder. I was sorting through some old papers tonight from my high school days - don't even ask why I kept 'em this long . . and ran across an article I had cut out of...

First off, I have always been a wheel gun person. I've had semi-autos and a year ago, bought a Ruger SR9 that I realy like. However, I wanted something smaller to CC and thought I had found the ideal gun to fit my needs. I settled on the Bersa Thunder 380 CC as I felt like I wanted a pistol...

I'm considering the possibility of getting a S & W 38 Bodyguard for CC. I'd like to hear from some of you that have this particular model what you think of them. In regards to that, I also have a couple of questions on them. 1. They are 5 shot. If you normally carry one for CC, are you...

I know this will probably be like a "which make/model of pistol do you like best" and I don't intend it to turn in to that . . . . I am going to get in to reloading for the first time - primarily 38 spl. and then possibly .380 . . . . I have a question on equipment I do business with a gun...

Maybe I'm too sensitive . . . but I have to air a "beef" I have. When I am considering purchasing a pistol, I do as much research as possible. This includes doing internet searches to find videos that either give a review or a critique of the weapon. I am also a "stickler" when it comes to...

I'm liking shooting 9 mm more and more - have a Ruger SR9 - BUT - I am drawn to older "classics" so to speak. I shoot revolvers as well and like vintage Colts & S & W - on that note - I've always been attracted to the p-38s. I'm thinking that it would be fun to have one but I am in a quandry...

I purchased these a while back but didn't have the time to go pick 'em up right away from the fellow who had 'em. Finally got the time last week. Have always shot 36 but if Doc Hoy can "expand his horizons" from 44s to 36s, I figured I could put my big boy pants on and get a 44 - only problem...

I say a "simple question" . . maybe it's a "dumb" one but I'm curious. I have a 9mm and I just picked up a Bersa 380 Thunder Concealed the other day at my usual gunshop that I frequent. I went to get a couple of boxes of .380 ammo and was fased with "sticker shock". Is it me, or is .380 more...

O.K. - Doc, Hawg and all the rest of you clowns on here that shoot .44 have finally forced me to change my mind and step up from the 36s I love so much. I bought a Rogers & Spencer and then turned around and had a weak moment and bought a stainless Pietta NMA - I pick them up from the guy next...

I ran across a '58 Remmie NMA that is steel frame - I haven't had the opportunity to "handle" it yet so don't know what it has for markings. Anyone know who made these? Good or "avoid"? Parts availability? As I said, I haven't had a chance to handle it yet - hopefully will be able to get a...

O.K. I decided to take an adventure and put my "big boy pants" on and graduate from shooting .36 to .44. I purchased a Euroarms Rogers & Spencer from a gun shop I do business with and will pick it up probably next week some time when I stop by to pick up a couple of "modern" pistols that...

I hope I am posting this in the correct forum as it pertains to a general handgun ammunition question. I am not that "well informed" on "modern ammunition" - (have shot black powder for over 45 years). I do shoot 38 spl and 9mm - my only exposure to 9mm has been with my Ruger SR9. I know that...

I posted a thread on here a while back that I was looking to get a 380 semi that was small for CCW. I was looking at the Walther PPK and the Sig 238. Several responders mentioned the Bersa Thunder concealed model. Since then, I've looked at a lot of reviews & videos of various makes/models...

Before we get into a big hub-bub about the .380 cartridge - stopping power and suitability for CCW and self defense - let me say that I have a 9mm Ruger SR9 as well as several 38/357s. I don't carry CCW all of the time but there are times that I would like to have a small size 380 to slide in...

Bill Akins posted a thread on here the other day in regards to a defarbed Spiller & Burr that he was looking at. I shoot just 36 and have never looked at a S & B that much, but I have to admit - the photos that Bill posted showed a pretty nice looking pistol and I can see why he might be...
