Alrighty then. At a recent show, I saw BOTH 6-shot, AND 5-shot PitBulls in 9mm. The OEM website only mentions the 6-shot configuration. Net research has indicated some teething issues with that pattern, but not a deal-breaker(for me). Does anyone know if the 5-shot is a supplemental model, or...

N-frame SB Hard nylon Rogers-Safariland grips. They look like Hogues, but they go on in two-pieces. They have checkered side panels, and a tacky, crinkled finish over the rest of the surface for a non-slip grip. Open backstrap, and in great shape. $25 J-RB Magnas One exceptionally...

Particulary since the last posts on the subject two years ago. :p Springer? PCP? Pumpers?

I'm leaning heavily toward the Russian gun due to the appearance of a higher standard of fit and finish. The external 'cocking' hammer ears also seem like a valuable safety tool, as well as relieving stress on the mainsprings. Does anyone compete with shooters who have an example of each? I'd...

I know that 'O' is a Gov't. Model, and I think an 'I' is a python. Can you provide an example of each of those other frames? Thanks.:)

Which has the widest meplat? Any difference in the taper of their first cutting shoulders behind the noses of the bullets? AFAIK, there's Remington, Winchester, and Federal(other than Nyclad). Any I'm missing?

A dealer who I normally trust just told me about this 'problem' today. He said that the laminates are know to develop hairline cracks between the plys due to shrinkage, or recession, of the glues (in the desert heat). He stated that the latest Ruger stocks will be sealed over in some sort of...

I was given a box of 20 180gr. JHP .44 Mag. The box is in excellent condition. Is this worth anything to those of you who are cartridge collectors, or should I just shoot it up?

Grrrrrrrrrr. I finally see what I thought were two 795SS models on a dealer's rack. I was quite bummed to find out that each was a 995. Picture the 795SS without the external bolt hold-open(and no automatic function, either). I've done some surfing, and I don't know if this gun is NOS(New...

There's little internet info on this one, particularly on the .22LR sites. I found a used one that looks like a quality rifle. I don't care too much for the looks of the Rem. 572(?), and the Henry(while I like it) is far more spartan in fit/finish/features. Is there any TFL experiece on the BPR?

Is anyone here experienced with these models? They seem to be one heckuva value, and have features lacking on all of the competition. My Ruger has an awkward manual bolt hold-open but will not do so automatically on the last shot. The Rem. 597 will, but it lacks the manual feature. Both it and...

The Big-5 has this on sale for $170, down from $200. Never owned and 'adult airgun',and this looks interesting. It has a full-size stock with Monte Carlo cheek-piece with fairly nice wood and grain for the money. All of the gun looks to be made of steel(no external plastic), and it has...

Could someone explain this to me?

Uh, that's PC, as in price check.:) How's $299 sound? I'm just not familiar with this version of the Buckmark series, and I liked it in all respects. The only thing I find particlarly unsusual is the front sight post. It's not blade, but an actual round post. If any of you own one, is there a...

A co-worker just presented me with an HE 20mm shell like that used with our military's Chain Guns and electric gatling cannon. I've only seen these once, and that was many moons ago. The primer appears live, and I can clearly hear and feel the swish of powder(?) inside. However, the projectile...

Can anyone help?:)

Purely for use as a defensive cartridge, which do you think has the edge? Sort of analogous to a "9mm vs. .45ACP" thread. Do not factor size in your rationalization, for we all know you must have a larger gun for use with .44s. Accuracy, cost, ease of reloading, available factory loads etc...

I think I've purchased one long arm along with a HG, but never two HGs at one time. I know that FFLs must report such a transaction to the ATF. Have any of you ever been contacted by them after such a purchase? If so, what was the gist of their inquiry?

Title says it all.:)

I just saw this in a pawn shop, and I have some questions. It has a target peep rear sight, and though the front blade is narrow, it still has a gold bead. There is no ramp-style of rear sight, so I assume the target rear is original. There are several sets of screws along the top of the...
