Finally decided what I want and what works best so I'll be getting the S&W 60 2." Any holster and ammo recommendations? :)

If you've followed my post on the SP101, I'm planning, still deciding, whether to get another DAO gun. I'm a female shooter so this is something I've been giving a lot of thought to. I had one, hated it, and sold it -- but now looking for another because I wonder if I'd be better off trying to...

I'm going to be getting the SP101. I bought my Dad the GP100 and I was impressed with the trigger pull and overall handling and look of the gun. I'd like something for carry that will be good for defense and DAO seems to always get the thumbs up. However, it's not always a good choice for...

Can someone tell me the difference in ammo for a handgun? I'm confused when I look at the range bullets. They're capable of killing more than a small animal, correct? Could the range bullets also be used in self defense effectively? Appreciate any insight.:confused:

I've always had my eye on a Model 60 Smith and Wesson. A couple of questions: 1. Can you use .38 range and live bullets in this the .357? 2. How is the recoil on this gun?

Just wrote to Smith and Wesson about my model 442. They said to send it to them and if the gunsmith can't find anything wrong, I'll be contacted. I'm sure they probably won't ease the trigger pull for me, but when dry firing the gun recently for both dominant and weak hand, I noticed a pinching...

I've been asking around for a gunsmith in my area (Peabody, MA) to do work on my model 442 trigger. I've decided to try and see if I can hold onto this gun since it's still new and try to get used to it. Trigger work and a Wolf spring. I just got an e-mail tonight from Gun and Sport North in...

I haven't saved up enough money yet but I've been giving serious thought to adding a Sig to my gun collection. I hear great things about the gun for accuracy and maintance -- like my Berettas. I'm interested in hearing about how they fare at the range. Does anyone get hit in the face with their...

I have a S&W model 442 which I don't use at all since my first time out with it. I was blown away by how painful it was to use and how difficult it was to pull the trigger. I had a real time trying to keep the gun pointing straight each time. I've been tempted to get rid of it but it'd probably...

I've got a restriction on my permit that won't allow me to have a gun with a capcity of 10. It has to be under so that excludes most Sig and Glock guns. The Cougar isn't allowed here yet so I'm trying to determine the best gun: easy to take apart for cleaning, highly accurate and reliable --...

I've been thinking of getting a Beretta Cougar in the coming months. I like the look of the Beretta Mini Cougar but since it's a .45, I worry about the recoil. Which is the better gun for accuracy, with the least recoil and the most enjoyable shooting experience overall? Thank you in advance. :)

I'm in a bad place for gun training. Financially, I can't afford the cost of joining a gun club so I'm looking to a place called Bob's Tactical and Shooting Range in Salisbury, MA as it's relatively close, and affordable. They also have NRA instructors on staff so I could take in a private...

I've been looking at the .45 for a while and can't really narrow down some choices. What are the best made guns, best prices and best looking and performing 1911 pistols to own? I've checked out Colt, Les Bauer, and Kimber. Frankly, in Massachusetts I'll have to wait for these guns to get...

This was in today's Boston Sunday Herald. In the movie section, viewers were asked to comment on Bowling for Columbine. Their comments were as follows: An important and necessary film that should be required viewing for everyone"... "Makes you think about how stupid the sale of guns is and how...

I contacted GOAL to see about taking classes with them. I'd like to be a NRA pistol instructor. Sadly, it appears that the training, which takes place for three days in January, is only available in Northboro. This is a considerable drive for me and I don't have much money so I can't stay at a...

I have a S&W .38 model 442, which I really hate because of how it hurts to fire this gun. Murder on my hands. I recently had to change the grip to something larger and more comfortable. I've wondered about the Model 64 2" HB. Does anyone have this revolver? How does it feel to fire it in terms...

I live in Peabody, an hour north of Boston. When I applied for my gun permit, I requested a Class A licence to carry, which allows me to carry a gun loaded and concealed. I was denied because I'm not a business owner in a high risk area, employed in armed security and because the chief "doesn't...

Sorry if I'm repeating a question, but I'm new to this forum. As a resident of Massachusetts, I have a Class B permit which allows me to have a gun in my home. I have two guns, a S&W .38 and a Beretta 92FS Compact Type M. I've been thinking of moving to New York for years but it's still in "how...
