I think I can safely say handguns like the Colt SAA, S&W M&P Model 10, Luger, and even the 1911 can represent the handgun of a particular era or time. What do you think will come to represent the handgun of today and more importantly why? I'd like to hear your reasons. I won't say what I...

This was posted on another forum and it will either confirm what some of you already know, blow your minds, or you can keep denying the truth.;) Before anyone only looks at the 9mm, .40, and .45 numbers (the most popular rounds) and declare how the .40 and .45 still has an "edge" compare the...

I read they aren't recommended for lever action rifles like the 1892 clones or the Marlin 1894. Can anyone confirm this and anyone know why?

The Glock and 1911 are the two most popular pistols in competition. They're the most popular selling pistols in America period. Despite the fact people keep saying they're either inferior or outdated. Despite the fact so many people claim there are "better" handgun out there. Maybe all these...

I was shooting a rental Ruger Redhawk a week ago to get my .44 Magnum fix at my local indoor range. There was only one group at the other end of the line. I took the spot at the very end so I might not disturb them. After they were done they were standing behind me watching me shoot. I turn...

Has anyone shot both? Big difference in terms of felt recoil and muzzle blast? And are the 5.5" still in production?

Just got one myself. Price was too good to pass up on a used but excellent condition S&W 60-14 2" .357. I wanted to get a hammerless (640) and without a frame mounted lock but my lack of patience and the good deal was too much.:rolleyes: I know you folks have them and keep them loaded for...

Why do gun manufacturers constantly come out with new models? S&W still makes the Sigma and the SW99 (I believe) but has since "abandoned" them in a sense for the M&P. While Beretta literally abandoned both the Cougar, 9000, and the 92FS just recently for the 90Two and PX4. Though all...

I went shooting with a my bro-in-law a couple weeks ago for the first time. He brought along his Beretta 92FS. He's a pretty fair shot, in single action, but he never decocks and practices the DA trigger or DA/SA transition. I told him he should and told him the reasons why. He just kind of...

Has there been any study about any potential adverse physical affects to shooting magnums and other powerful handguns throughout your life? It seems like shooting an airweight .357 J frame or full power .500 on a regular basis has to have some kind of negative effect on people's hands. Last...

Any way you cut it they're one of if not the most popular sevice pistol today. For legitimate reasons as well as owing to hype and marketing. Anything this popular is gonna be subject to intense scrutiny and everyone's gonna have an opinion. I'm not speaking about a particular thread or anyone...

Anybody have pics of a SP101 2 1/4" and a S&W J frame (.357 2") next to each other? I'm trying to get an idea of how much larger and thicker the SP101 is compared to the newer J frames. Searched all over and its difficult to find one. Appreciate any help.

Obviously the model 640 .357 is a mite smaller so it would be more comfortable but anybody try both a 640 and SP101 IWB? Subjectively, how much bulkier does the SP101 feel? Any other snub nose revolvers you could compare it to? I'm pretty much set on the SP101 but wanted to get an idea how...

Is this a revolver that can be subjected to regular range sessions? I hope to practice at least 50-100 rounds a month to stay familiar with it. Will I wear out the gun in 20 years? (600-1200 rounds per year X 20 years). Either that or I go with an all steel J frame or SP101. I'm trying to...

Here's one of the most interesting threads I've ever seen. Its over at AR15.com. Various handguns and longuns were tested against the Buick's windows and doors. Albeit an informal test but still very informative and eye opening. Here's the link to "Buick O Truth"...

Okay, I've got the basic defense guns I want. I got the 1911's I want (SA Professional/Les Baer TRS) and the modern Euro guns (SIGs and Glocks). Most of the handguns at the gunstore just dont' interest me that much anymore. Not even a nice Ed Brown Kobra Carry. Well, not enough to make me...

"Durability" seems to be one of those catch words and it seems to be something that concerns quite a lot of people. But realistically how many of us actually shoot so much that they'll shoot the gun to the ground? I mean to the point where fixing it isn't a viable option. Either its cheaper...

Okay, we all know how popular 1911's are among the American shooting public. Whether you're a fan of the 1911 or not there's no denying 1911's make up for a huge chunk of the handgun market. But why don't BHP's seem to be nowhere near as popular as the 1911? There aren't that many cocked...
