    Taurus Raging Bull .44 Mag vs S&W 629

    I've really been eyeing the S&W Model 629 lately. I want to get it with the full barrel underlug, 6.5" barrel. I already own a Taurus Raging Bull in the same .44 Mag caliber and same lenght, etc. Now I know for a fact from reading reviews, etc, that out of the "big three" .44 Magnums (629...

    .44 Mags and Grizzly Bears

    Just out of curiosity..... but can a regular 240gr .44 Mag really kill a grizzly bear? Like the biggest kind? I hear people saying yes, others saying no, and yet some others saying that when confronted with a grizzly, and seeing how big it is and how small your .44 mag is, you won't even try...

    Will ammo prices EVER go down again??

    Its just really sad that I missed what sounds like the Golden Age....back in the day when a box of .44/357 mag was "expensive" when it cost anything over $20. I was Googling ammo right now and I came upon countless "old" threads from 2003-2005 and saw precisely that.... people scoffing at...

    Made a bet, need answers please

    Ok, So I probably bit off more than I can chew, but I was discussing guns with a friend's military brother and he claimed that thier M16 rifle has: A) better terminal damage/velocity and B) More recoil Than a .44 magnum. The thing is I have a .44 Magnum Raging Bull, but from what I know a .44...

    Potentially Dumb Question (.22 calibers)....

    Just curious, what's the difference between a ".22" and a ".22lr"?? Are they different calibers or the same exact thing? I ask because I want to get my gf a .22lr so she can go shooting with me more. She hates recoil (even though she shoots pretty good IMO), and her recoil limit is .38 Specials...

    Am I damaging my gun while cleaning it??

    Quick question: I was cleaning my .44 Magnum and while inserting the bronze brush down the barrel with the rod, it felt VERY tight, and as I ran it through the barrel it was just a very tight fit and I can't help but wonder if the rouch brush is damaging the inside of the barrel. The brush is...

    Taurus Raging Bull .44 Magnum - Review

    As some of you might know, I had a long saga with trying to get my hands on a Raging Bull .44 Magnum, 6.5" inch barrel, for a while now. Well I'm happy to say that I was finally able to take my gun home last Tuesday, and only today was able to take it to the range and try it out. Well, 150+...

    Commerical ammo by company called "A.M.P"

    Ok this is driving me nuts..... Anyone else run into this relatively cheap ammo (I saw .44 and .357 Magnums), in a plain red box, with a white sticker on the end with the specs of the cartrige and at the bottom it says "A.M.P"??? Its driving me insane, first for the very poor choice of company...

    Expert advice needed on grain loads/velocity/recoil

    I'm just immensly confused here. No matter how much as I ask, no body can seemingly give me a clear, undisputed answer on how to be able to tell a certain bullets felt recoil from something that is on the box, like grains for example. For example, yesterday I raided my local gun store and was...
