    Good substitute for a reloading bench?

    I don't have a workbench in my basement and was wondering what y'all would recommend as a substitute (price being an issue). I'm just going to be a weekend-warrior as far as reloading goes.....maybe 150 rounds a week as a side hobby, so high quality is not an absolute MUST as far as the bench...

    Best beginners handloading kit?

    I'm new to handgunning but I see that the price of new ammo can easily cost more than the gun over time. I think I'd like to start handloading, both for the cost advantage and for the fun of it. Can anyone recommend a good kit that includes quality stuff to last a long time? Price would be...

    Old ammo question....

    My Dad brought my old .22 over to my house after sitting in a back room at his house for about 14 years. I have about 500 rounds of ammo which is that old too. How long can you keep ammo? If they are "bad," will it just be a dud, or is there any danger in shooting them? Thanks.

    Advice on a wheelgun.....

    I've got 3 auto pistols, and am starting to get the itch for a revolver. I'm thinking of a .357 but will probably just shoot .38's through it. Would like advice on what to buy for under $375 or so. This will NOT be my carry-gun, so I'm thinking about a 6" barrel. Let the advice flow! :p P.S...

    Good self-defense knife?

    I realize that this thread has nothing to do with guns, but I didn't know on which board to post. I'm looking for a self-defense knife that has a 5-inch or smaller blade. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Does my technique sound right?

    OK, I will admit that I've never had a shooting lesson in my life, and have only been shooting for a couple months now, but I HAVE read a lot on the subject on the internet. Naturally I realize that only so much can be gleaned by reading alone, but let me describe to you how I shoot. I use the...

    How many is TOO many?

    Up until a year ago I had only a Mossberg 12 gauge with 00 buckshot as my home defense gun. Then I bought a Taurus 24/7 9mm for target shooting, so I now keep that loaded next to the bed and I have the shotgun on the landing next to the front door. -I should include that I am unmarried, with no...

    Ruger 97 rear sight question......

    I just got a Ruger P97DC .45ACP and have a question about the adjustable rear sight (windage only). In the instruction book it says something to the effect of, "all P97's are equipped with an adjustable rear sight for windage. To adjust, loosen the screw (if there is a screw on your gun) and...

    Carrying without a permit.....

    I am going to get a CCW permit in my home state (Iowa), but my question is what to do in the meantime. What if, God forbid, I was forced to defend my life outside of my own home BEFORE I had a permit? A friend of mine has no plans of ever getting a CCW permit, but carries all the time, wherever...

    .45ACP ammo for plinking and home defense?

    Hi guys. I just picked up my first .45 this past weekend! I chose the Ruger P97DC. Took it out and shot it yesterday...only had time for 25 rounds but it seems very solid and surprisingly accurate at 50 ft. I bought 50 rds of 230 gr PMC ammo for $12.50 but was wondering what you guys like to...

    Ruger P97 (.45)....questions.

    Hey fellas, first post here. I'm looking for my first .45 and the Ruger P97 was recommended by a friend. He says they are a good quality gun for the price. I called my local dealer, from whom I have bought before and was treated very well, and he quoted me a price of $350. Good deal or no...
