    S&W snubbie....cylinder arm comes off

Mystified, I fiddled with it for a few seconds, and found the cylinder arm was able to slide forward on its axis right off the frame. I cleaned it a bit while it was out, then put it back in, and I...

    So, just bought a new carry gun...

    Choosing a .22 semi-auto rifle - Ruger or Marlin

    Looking to buy a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle. I'd pretty much settled on the Marlin Model 60. Went into a Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday, thought I'd check to see if they had one, and how much. I know the MSRP was about $190, which was why I'd settled on the Marlin rather than the Ruger 10/22...

    What is the right age to teach kids to shoot?

    I have a daughter, a step-daughter, and a stepson. The stepson is special needs; I will never be teaching him to shoot a real gun, will only be able to teach him that real guns are dangerous. My two daughters, however, I plan to teach to shoot. They are 11 and 12. I have just started to teach...
