I kinda know what to look for when buying a used automatic. But I don't know diddly when it comes to buying a used revolver. What are the things I should look for? Besides Ruger what are some other brands that are good buys for used (single action/cowboy) revolvers? EAA, Navy, or Uberti?

Why have they stopped producing this round with a Full Metal Jacket or at least partially jacketed? I realize the majority of .45LC shooters are Cowboy Action Shooters but why is this round in fmj impossible to find? I don't like excessive lead exposure but I like shooting .45LC

I have Sig Sauer and Glocks because they're fine defensive guns. But I would rather own Colt automatics and S&W revolvers. Why? Just the fact that the two companies roots are so intertwined with American history, folklore, and myth. That was part of the reason why I became interested in...

I just saw the movie by Coppola about Preston Tucker, the revolutionary American car manufacturer who was eventually brought down by the Big 3 (Chrysler, Ford, General Motors). Lies were perpetrated by the Gov't, the Big 3, and the press to bring the upstart company (that was a threat to the...

Lately, I've been fixated on the Sig Sauer P220 despite the fact it wouldn't be my 1st choice for defense. Simply, its size and limited mag capacity keeps it from being my top choice for defense. But I LOVE the way it shoots. I could say the same thing about the HK P7/M8. I don't trust...

Guys and gals help me choose. I thought TFL would be a good middle ground since GlockTalk and SigForum might be a little biased? Glock 21: Tough, accurate, though a little big. Sig P220: Very accurate, sweet trigger, reliable, but a little rust friendly if I neglect it. Earlier I posted...

I FINALLY shot the Sig P220 yesterday after years of being a Sig fan (P229). Its definately a Sig and accuracy is - no surprise - superb. Even though I was never really into the .45 I fell in love immediately. Will primarily be a range gun but how about defense? Since its barrel is 4.4" are...

I guess this is the martial art/street fighting technique taught to Israeli armed forces and military/police forces here in the U.S. (as their ads claim). I guess with all all this emphasis with firearms training, hand to hand combat may be even more important since our firarms or knife may not...

I live in L.A. and I get the feeling most L.A.P.D. are fairly anti-gun. Now, this is just an impression I get from conversations and stories I hear. But until I came to TFL and other forums, I didn't know so many LEOs support citizens and their 2nd Amendment rights. Police can't always...

This is completely hypothetical, but if our federal gov't were to ban all hollowpoint or "defense" rounds besides FMJ, which caliber and handgun would be your primary? I guess I would stick with my .40 caliber Glock/Sig but would also consider going .45 or 10mm. *I realize its unrealistic not...

I feel a lot of posts discussing antis simply undermine our cause of convincing our fellow Americans of our right to bear arms. They're our mothers, fathers, siblings, uncles, cousins, and neighbors. I understand their fear of firearms and the devastation they could possibly cause if applied...

I lost my Spyderco Delica :( a few weeks ago. So I upgraded to a Benchmade Mel Pardue with the Axis lock :D. This one looks like a real keeper, smooth action, strong, and it closes well with one hand. Hope I hold onto this one for a long time. So whats your favorite everyday duty knife?

Who's got guns they rub with a diaper, wouldn't part at any price, or cash in on in the future? The ones you never (or seldom) fire and show only to your closest friends. Be it a 1st Generation Colt SAA, war era Luger, or a museum quality Brown Bess musket? Don't have any myself, but I guess...

How is its performance as a defense cartridge and is it any different from the rounds the military or police use?

I miss my Browning HP I miss my Ruger SP-101 I miss my Beretta 92 I miss my S&W 686 I miss my Colt Gov't Model I miss my HK USP/C I miss my Ruger Vaquero I pray none of them were sold to bad guys.... Yeah, I still wish I had them all. I was just feeling a little nostalgic tonight. [Edited...

Has anyone tried these on their Glocks? They're made by Grupo Mercari. Has it improved your shooting and do they last? Thought of A Grip too but I just don't like them for aesthetic reasons. Though I might do the A Grip for my G27.

than long guns like shotguns and rifles? When choosing the right longarm can be just as or even more important? There seems to be more discussion groups around them. And if we look at our own forum more people are active in them than any other. Is it because its so much more accesible and it...

I'm thinking of getting the Surefire Model 6Z but the comparable model by Streamlight cost about half as much. Anyone care to share you're opinions on how comparable they are, esp. about its brightness and ease of use with a pistol? Price isn't a factor really, but it would be nice to save the...
