What large bore revolver(s) do you own that would work for bear? I own a 5.5" Ruger Redhawk .44magnum

I was just thinking about this subject recently. We often buy .22lr firearms under the guise of saving alot of money on ammo. Well, I honestly don't save to much money because of it. Here are my reasons for making a borderline heretical statement. Reasons .22lr Doesn't Save Alot of Money: You...

What are some revolvers that are "must haves" in your opinion. Personally, I think a Smith&Wesson snubbie is one for sure.

What do you think was the worst military weapon change over of all time? We have heard the 1911 to M9 and M14 to M16, a million times and they will probably still get alot votes. However, I think even most people that prefer one or the other will admit that the previous/new firearm has it's...

What do you think is the goofiest handgun ever? You can base your answer on anything. (Looks, size, caliber, design, practical use, concept, even just unmerited dislike.) Feel free to post pictures of the silly thing too.

I just bought a .44 magnum Redhawk. I always wanted a big and impractical (for me my ordinary needs) revolver. Originally, I wanted an S&W 629 but the Ruger just felt way better iny hand. It's kind of weird, I grew up in a S&W family and always considered myself an "S&W revolver guy" BUT the...

I purchased a Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag the other day. I love the gun but the rosewood grips aren't as practical as they are pretty. Today, I bought a set of Pachmayr Decelerator Grips and will be returning/exchanging them tomorrow. They are garbage IMHO. The fit is horrible and sloppy. They...

Most people on here seem to have pretty diverse collections of handguns. I was curious what is everyone's BIGGEST and smallest handguns? Feel free to list them terms of sheer physical SIZE, cartridge POWER or BOTH. Mine are for SIZE: BIGGEST: Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum smallest: Ruger LCP .380...

Do you feel that CURRENT production Rugers are as good (or better) than CURRENT production Smith&Wesson revolvers?

I just got a Ruger Redhawk .44magnum today and really like the look of the wood grips. However, I have a feeling they aren't going to he the most comfortable. What do you guys suggest for this gun? FWIW my hands aren't huge. I wear Large gloves and have a 9 ring size if that helps judge size. I...

Has anyone ever seen a set of Hogue Bantam grips for the j-frame WITHOUT the finger groove? I have one on my 442 with the and like it alot BUT would like to try one without the finger groove. Also, I am toying with the idea of getting some nice wood grips for it. I am looking for suggestions...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone on TFL! What did you get for Christmas or other holiday you observe this time of year, respectively?

Which of these two rounds do you feel is better? Why?

Using the ranking of Ford, Mercury, Lincoln because it's simple and understood clearly by most people; how would you rank the Glock, XD(m) and M&P polymer service pistols? All three are reliable and well made guns. I am just curious to see what people think is "nicer," so to speak. IMHO...

I've been looking for some older discontinued revolvers to add to my collection and give as gifts to people. I haven't had too much success. If I did find one the prices were (IMHO) too high, poor condition, not the desired configuration, not for sale or a combination of any/all those problems...

Does anyone have experience with customer service at Springfield Armory? I have gun that has a (purely cosmetic) defect and a razor sharp front sight (don't know if that's the norm) that based on my phone conversation will probably all be fixed as warranty work for free. I was just wondering...

I just bought a SA stainless steel Mil Spec 1911. Tonight I looked floselyat the crossed cannon logo on the slide. It says, 1794 Springfield Armory 1994. Then there is this messed-up looking squiggly thing at the bottom of the circle. What is this thing suppose to be? Anyone else have this one...

Which do you prefer on your guns?

Anyone else see this show? Basically, Steven Seagal is a reservist for a small department in Louisiana and rides around in an Explore with the Deputy Chief of Police. Once the regular cops have the suspects in custody, Steven Seagal walks up and explains why the are in trouble. On tonight's...

Well, I finally decided between the Arsenal AK in 5.56 and the Sig 556 Classic. The Sig 556 won. I love this rifle. Can't wait to get it to the range.
