I started this thread in the revolver forum to compare the opinions on the Airweight vs the LCRx. While I am going to be up front and flat out admit the shortcomings of these revolvers for the intended use weight is of paramount importance. Long story short after a few sightings this year of...

This is likely a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyways. On another thread I have been discussing my "need" for an airweight. I presumed i would simply go buy a new 637. I have come across, at a local auction, a good condition model 37. For pure use (non collector value) what is the...

Due to nature my morning run has gotten to be noticeably before sunrise and as such, rather dark. I knew this was coming, it does every year, and knew it was getting close as I was watching the sunrise during it last month. Normally about this time of year I retreat inside for my run or adjust...

I decided picking up a couple would be nice. At least give me an idea of what is moving when. I intend to start with one or two and, knowing me, end with a many more (I tend to go overboard). I am guessing I prefer the no / low glow flashes. I am guessing that while some level of MP is...

With Federal Power-Shok Copper being available for very close to the same price as lead ammo I am thinking about making the plunge at least for my game animals. What is the general consensus on non-lead vs lead ammo anyways?

So my wife, children, and I often enough go to a local park right on the lake. It puts us a couple hundred yards away from the vehicle. As we both tend to swim and play in the water with the kids (who are too young to be more than a few feet away from in the water) I simply accept this is one...

Moving to another sub-section please delete I am going to move this to "The Hunt" - probably should have been there

Looking at an air rifle for shooting off the deck (legality is not in question at the farm). Sub $200 preferred for general fun with likely no serious use (maybe pest control) I have been thinking nitro piston though know little about them. Snag a Crossman at Wally World or is there a...

I have decided I "need" a .243 and am going to spend in the budget of $500 (or under). I have a line on a nice M77 (used) but am also considering the Axis XP. The M77 has a 20" barrel which may limit the .243 to some degree but will make it handier when my children start hunting with it...

I have, in the past, kept around a .270 and a .375 H+H magnum thinking that the two guns covered any large animal on earth and could be used for anything. I have, over time, culled out the .375 (for now). I am now looking on the other end of the spectrum. I live in Michigan. The biggest...

I have this in my gym at my house. I was looking at it today and thought, you know what, it applies much more to defense then it does to sports so I thought I would leave it here.

Ok so I have been using a P938 for some time as a carry gun (I know this is not a true 1911 but it replicates the controls of such). Its handy pistol and often finds itself on my belt but strikes me as a touch smaller then I want. I augmented this by buying a Colt Delta Elite in 10MM -...

I was in the store with my wife who suggested now was the time to buy a new 1911. As I currently have no .45s and did not want to add another caliber, as well as not wanting to spend the money a Wilson Custom Combat would cost, the Colt in 10MM seemed a great choice. I did handle a Rock Island...

I am looking for ideas on how to neatly display a Winchester 94 while allowing reasonably quick access to it AND securing it against unauthorized use. To add another caveat to it I dislike a key, could accept an electrical locking system, but would prefer a mechanical one such as a simplex.

I came across an all-weather variant in the gun store the other day - sub $600. It was in new or like new condition (I don't recall the tag). What am I not going to like about the Mini 30? I see cheap ammo, a good ranch rifle / house defense gun for my wife. I get the 7.62 X 39 is no .308...

I thought about this the other day as I put my carry gun away (and I do unload it nightly - I'll accept the risk of bullet setback). I drop the magazine, adjust my grip, rack the slide so the chambered round ends in my hand, and then open the slide again to verify it is empty before lowering...

Ok I am in the process of convincing myself that I *need* a 10MM in 1911. I have a strange affinity for 10MMs and keep a Glock 29 (G4) around that I really like but... well I NEED a 1911 right? My concern is that I hear horror stories about 10MM 1911s not lasting. I don't really want to...

Let me get it out of the way. I do respect the work of the leather crafters and have had several well made leather gun belts in the past. But I'm wanting to try one that is not leather and is still stiff enough to support a firearm well. Anyone have any experience? I have seen mention of...

I have been thinking a lot about my primary carry weapon lately. In the woods I have taken to carrying a Glock 29 with the idea that a well selected 10MM gives me an advantage over many of the concealable handguns and give me access to readily carrying 26 rounds (10+1 plus an additional G20...

In the many discussions about gun control the term assault weapon seems to have been at the forefront. While we liked to argue about the proper or improper use of that term we all knew what we were talking about. That "evil black rifle" with the detachable magazine. In his recent response...
