    Can a Bond Arms 45colt / 410 derringer take "ruger only" 45 colt loads. I know it would probably be too painful to try, but I am just curious.

    actual experience with Taurus

    I am not a Taurus fanboy by any means, but I have owned 2 taurus over the years with zero problems. The taurus bashing by people who have not first hand expeirence kind of gets old. I am curious to see what actual owners have had. So please vote accordingly

    No talk about the Kahr CW380

    Looks like new for 2013 is the Kahr CW380. MSRP $419, so it should run about $350 like the other CWs. I think it may be on my short list Caliber: .380 ACP Capacity: 6+1 Operation: Trigger cocking DAO; lock breech; "Browning - type" recoil lug; passive striker block; no magazine disconnect...

    Taurus and Beretta Single Actions

    I have lots of Ruger revolvers, both SA & DA, but have a hankering for a new 357 SA. I would like a case colored blued one. I saw a new Taurus ($419) and a Beretta ($600) and must say I was impressed with the finish and they felt like good quality guns while fondling them in the store. What...

    First Colt...couple of questions

    First Colt...couple of questions...UPDATED PICS I picked up my first colt today in a trade. It was sort of a whim trade, which is unusual for me. Honestly I am happy with the trade regardless of money. I traded a CZ Rami that was in great condition I just never shot it much. Never quite...

    Beretta Storm (compact) vs S&W 469/669/6906

    I am considering a compact double stack 9mm with a slide mounted decocker/manual safety. It is mainly something I just have gotten a bug for, but could find time as a carry piece. Right now, I have it (kinda) narrowed down to a Beretta Storm (compact, not sub compact) and a S&W 469, 669, or...

    Tell me about the S&W 469

    He guys, I am looking at picking up a S&W 469. It will be $399 OTD (no tax). It looks to be in fair-good condition. It has some wear on the normal carry spots. A couple of small nicks around the trigger guard. What can you tell me out this gun? Is that a fair price. Any info would be...

    Glock Cominolli thumb safety

    Browsing the Internet I saw some things about Gocks with a Cominolli thumb safety. I know all about how glocks are already safe and they were not designed for thumb safety so you can save bandwidth and just not post if you have never used one or know any actual results for with the thumb...

    Any problems with a Lone Wolf barrel in a Gen 4 19

    I like to reload lead bullets so I was looking into getting a Lone Wolf match grade stock barrel for my new Gen 4 19. Any issues I should be aware of? Does it cause any increase in feeding or function issues? And significant decrease in accuracy?

    Glock Gen 4 now coming with 2 mags instead of 3?

    I have read some post in various forums where people said they "heard" Glock Gen 4s were now coming with 2 mags instead of 3. Can anyone confirm this with a purchase they actually made (not just heard about)? Maybe a dealer or shop owner? And if you did get a G4 with 2 mags can you confirm the...

    New Vaquero vs Blackhawk (strength)

    I have owned many Blackhawks and "Old" model Vaqueros. I am really wanting a New Model Vaquero in 357. I know it is a smaller frame, but should I expect it to last generations and 1000s of rounds, like I would the other Ruger SA? I would not abuse it, but I woould like it to have at least...

    Lots of ARs, Mags, and Ammo at the gun show today.

Noticed most wolf .223 ammo was $14 a box. 30 round AR mags were $50 for poly $30...

    Bud's Layaway question

    40 s&w and panic buying

    I have never had much interest in the 40 s&w round. Nothing against it in particular, just I seemed to aquire 9mms and 45 acp and didn't see a need for another round. Looking around this last week it seems everyone is running out of hi cap 9mms (Online and in store) but guns chambered in 40 s&w...
