    introducing women to shooting

    I guess I suck at using the search and picking keywords cuz I just couldn't find what I was looking for though I would bet it's been covered before. I have a friend that I went to high school with and she recently mentioned she took a women's self defense class (just to be avoid confusion I'm a...

    factory .45lc loads for blackhawk

    I have a 4 5/8th .45 colt stainless blackhawk and I don't reload yet. I haven't shot the gun much because it's really had to find .45 colt ammo right now. I had 3 boxes of magtech cowboy loads with LRN bullets and I couldn't get a satisfactory group out of it. before I have any work done on it...

    well the .223 vs. 7.62x39 question is answered, for me at least

    so I got a bonus recently and was wanting to get a compact semi-auto carbine without a pistol grip to keep the profile nice and trim. Basically In NE Oregon where I like to play we have plenty of cougars and black bears along with budding entrepreneurs of the recreational pharmaceutical variety...

    whats a taurus 66 worth?

    at the pawn shop today they had an old very nice model 66 3" for $350. is that good? it's across the state line so it'd probably be an extra $50 for a transfer. it's my understanding these were made before taurus went to crap and felt well made and smooth to me. the big appeal to me was it's...

    S&W M&P15t .22lr

    I saw one today at the dealers for $580. I've never seen one before so at first I though that was a good price but he usually doesn't have good or even fair prices. I can't really afford it but I really want one and was just curious what they go for. I just looked at the smith website and MSRP...

    kydex paddle holster for glock 17 with light

    so I've been packing my glock 17 just fine for a bit now in an uncle mike's paddle holster. I was wondering if anyone knew of a holster that would let me keep my TLR-1 on my g17. if not I guess I'll resort to buying a light that snaps on and off quickly rather than the screw that the tlr series...

    looking for some pocket holsters

    long story short I'm looking for pocket holsters for a glock 26, taurus 605( which will one day get replaced by a ruger or Smith), and an NAA mini mag. I'll eventually be getting a small pocket .380 some day but it doesn't look like it'll be anytime soon.

    dang, why'd I have to go and give my S&W away?

    a few years back I got myself my first revolver, a beater smith 4" 19-3. a few months ago I scored a used ruger gp100 so I took my smith to my dad's house and told him he could hang onto it for me. Then I get to looking at these night guard series revolvers Smith&Wesson has now and it dawns on...

    anyone else having problems getting a CWP in Umatilla county Oregon?

    back in April I filed for a concealed weapons permit with the Umatilla County Sheriff's office. It's my understanding that by law they have to issue or provide a written letter of denial within 45 days. Since Oregon is a shall issue state and I have a clean background and have the proper...

    bandolier or shoulder holster blackhawk

    I'm on a search for a shoulder or chest rig for my .45 colt ruger blackhawk with a 4 5/8ths barrel. I'd like something with some kind of retention strap, preferably a thumb break. I'm leaning towards black nylon mostly to keep cost down.

    anniversary blackhawk/new vaquero frame size vs standard blackhawk/vaquero

    so I was reading an article about ruger's .44 special blackhawk(even though I'm not really that interested in the caliber) and the author explained that originally the blackhawk was slightly smaller than the ones made today, being designed around the .357mag and .44 special. but before the...

    help me ID this cleaning kit

    so recently I scored two large ammo boxes full of cleaning supplies from a widow and among everything there were two of these kits. in one of the boxes I found a homemade label that wasn't attached to anything that read "M14" but that doesn't mean much of anything. they appear to be older...

    thinking of a S&W 65

    saw a Smith & Wesson 65-2 at the gun shop in really good shape with houge rubber grips (which I like) and a 4 inch barrel. they were asking $450 is it worth it? it only had a few minor scratches and locked up tight.
