Ok we all like giving advice so now is your chance. Cast your vote for my buddies next carry piece. The choices are a Kimber Pro Carry Stainless HK USPC in .40 or .45 or a STEYR M40. Let him know what you think. Chris

This was her idea. Enjoy.

To install your own night sights? I mean are we talking about rocket science here. Just curious as I hate paying for other people to do work that I think I can do myself. Don't get me wrong, I really don't know how hard this is so it might be worth every penny of your everyday installation...

I would like to thank everybody for giving me the pros and cons of the 686+. I just wanted to add a new one to the mix. I am very enamored with the 627, didn't even know it existed until I started looking for large capacity .357s. Ahyway, what do you guys have to say good or bad about the 627...

I have fallen in lust with the 7 shot 686 Plus in stainless steel. I want one in a 4 inch barrel and I want to put either Rosewood or Cocobolo gribs on it. Is there anything I should know besides the standard S&W political stuff, which I have read, which I agree is heinous, but I can stand...

I have a buddy who is in the market for an entry level over under 12 gauge. I know nothing more then the good ones are expensive and the cheap ones usually aren't worth a darn. So educate us on what is a nice over under quality wise for say 700-800. Is this even a feasable price for something...

What are my choices if I would like to look into finding a 7 or 8 shot .357 magnum revolver? Thanks Chris

I was at the range last night happily plinking away when I hear a commotion a couple of stalls down. Well I go to check it out (be nosey) and what do I find but a dejected shooter with a Charter Arms in I believe 44 Special. Anyway he had shot the barrel shroud right off of the barrel. I mean...

I just wanted to post my experience with my new Walther P99 9mm. This forum is a wealth of information for any potential buyers who are willing to look for the information so I figured I would help by posting my experiences good and bad. I had owned an early P99 in .40 caliber that had the...

I recently bought an 870 Marine Magnum and just wanted to let everybody know mine is chugging right along without a malfunction of any kind. I have been through about 400 rounds of various loads from light Walmart bulk stuff up to OO Defense Buck. All of it kicks very mildly with the rubber...

Does the revolver have to be specifically designed to use moon clips or can any revolver use these. Does the round have to be a auto round, 9mm, .45 acp etc. Can I use moonclips in a .357 magnum, that has not be specially made. I know Jerry M. uses an 8 shot .357 and I swear he is using moon...

Ok so I finally got to the range with my Model 60 Ladysmith. I loaded it up with some .357 JHP to start out and worked my way down through some .38+P and then some regular 38 range ammo. This thing is wonderful. It is lighter and smaller then our SP101 but soaks up the .357 much better. It...

I eventually would like to get a 1911 style pistol. This will not be primarily for defense or carry or anything except nostagia. Basically a toy. What I want is a good quality basic military spec. 1911. I have checked out the Springfield and like that very much, I don't know anything about...

Question about the, ahh, darn it the technical name escapes me, sorry brain skip. Anyway when you break the VEPR 2 down and you pull the bolt out there is a stainless Op Rod type protrusion that extends into the gas tube. Mine is slightly loose where it meets the bolt assembly. Is this a...

In some revolvers I have seen things like you should not shoot any bullets lighter than X grains. Usually 120 or so. Why is this? Is is because more the blast pressure hits the barrel and gun versus being used up launching a heavier bullet? Is it dangerous to shoot a lighter bullet like a...

Ok after much research and deliberation I finally came to a conclusion on the revo that fits me the best for a roll of an anytime gun. I didn't go titanium or scandium simply because I like to practice without undue pain and suffering. I wanted a .357 but didn't want either a huge or too...

This may sound petty but I hate shelling out the bucks for a gun and getting some chinsy POS case for it. My case in point is Glock. Fine weapons, world class weapons.........crappy box. This is not really a practical issue as much as it is just an observation. Anyway I was at my local gun...

I am thinking about picking up a very lightweight .38 revolver for always carry. I have only owned .357 revolvers. Now I am always careful to make sure I am loading proper ammo, follow the rules etc. but we all have brain farts. My question is what failsafes are in place on a .38 revolver...

12.0 Onces Vs. 25 Ounces??? Ok, I have never shot a Smith Scandium revolver. Could somebody give me a comparison of felt recoil between say a Ruger SP101. Is the recoil of 38+P in the Smith about the same as a .357 in the SP101? I know recoil is subjective but I am just trying to get a basic...
