    Best Revolver....

    So what do you guys think the overall best double action revolver is... in terms of quality, versatility, etc... I say Colt Python, followed by S&W 625, then S&W 629.

    HK P7M8 versus PSP

    Ok, I have the fever for one or the other of these... Which one do you think is best and why? Or is there enough difference to worry about? As far as I can tell, the only difference is the location of the mag release, and I think the PSP has a smaller trigger guard... Anything else? Also...

    Questions about Civilian Marksmanship Program

    Hopefully somebody here can help me... I went to the web site and read the stuff, but still have a few questions... 1. If I buy a rifle from them, do they ship it to an FFL or straight to me? 2. Do I have to fill out one of those yellow applications for the BATF, I dont remember the form...

    Colt Anaconda 4 inch barrel

    Any body know if the Anaconda was made with 4 inch barrels? I thought I used to occassionally see them. Now, every show I go to, all I ever find is 6 or 8 inchers.

    357 Mag v. Sig

    The two supposedly best 357 mag rounds are 125 g JHP's made by Winchester and Remington. These 2 bullets both have a lot of exposed lead at the tip. I have always figured this helped with expansion. 357 sig JHPs look have a full jacket with no exposed lead, I guess because it is designed for...

    Civilian Marksmanship Program?

    Is anybody familiar with this organization? I heard you can buy M1 Garands through them for $500. Sounds pretty good, especially if these are not imports. Anybody know more about this?

    Savage 24F Combo gun?

    Is anybody familiar with it? Is it any good? It occurred to me that it might be nice to have one in 30-30 over 12 gauge. It would work for turkeys, and if a deer or hog happened to wander by instead you could get them too. Or is a combo gun a bad idea? Never had or even fired one. Are...

    I saw a Winchester 94 style 410 gauge shotgun listed in some gun rag as new for 2001. Anybody seen this? Looks kind-o-neat to me.

    Whats the best thing to turkey hunt with in Georgia?

    In thick woods and river bottoms, range would be 30 to 40 yards max. Should I go with a 12 gauge or would something smaller be adequate? In particular, i think it might be fun to hunt with a 410, but have never done that before and dont know how well that would work.

    Biggest Let Down You Ever Had From a Handgun

    What gun do you own or have owned that you thought was going to be great when you got it, only to find out it was the worst Hunk-O-Junk you ever had? For me it was a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911. I know, everyone says they are great, but I must have gotten a lemon. Nobody, including...

    Springfield Armory to Make New M1 Carbines?

    This is a two parter: First, I saw a reference in another thread that SA is going to start producting new M1 Carbines... anybody else heard this? Second, I once heard of a conversion of M1 Carbine to 45 win magnum which kind of sounded like a neat idea... is this a feasible idea? Would...

    Which 9mm loads?

    Which 9mm loads are supposed to be the best out of short barrelled compact 9mm semi autos? What about full size? I guess this subject has come up before, but I wasnt paying attention.

    Why shoot DA?

    It occurred to me while shooting recently that I usually shoot DA revolvers SA. As a result of the way I practice, I guess I am not a good DA shot -- a long 12 lb trigger pull is not my bag. Speed is the only reason I can think of to shoot DA, and I am not sure how much time it really saves...

    Why Close the Thread?

    If someone rants and raves in an incoherent way that makes no sense to anybody, and someone else posts a thread chastising them, why do the moderators feel the need to close the thread? Looks to me like someone is only getting what is coming. I am not trying to be argumentative or mean. Whats...

    Colt Cowboy conversion to 45 ACP

    I know colt makes a peacemaker 45 that can also fire ACP, I guess by swapping cylinders. Does anyone know what would be involved in converting a Cowboy to 45 ACP? Would it just take a cylinder swap?

    What is good shot placement???

    Several threads talk about the importance of shot placement over caliber. Certainly, shot placement is of extreme importance. But what is good shot placement? Sounds like an easy question, but I am not sure it is. Consider 2 identical bullets striking 2 identical people in the chest at...

    10mm Recoil

    I think I may have caught the 10mm bug. Never shot one, though, but I like the way it looks on paper. If I get one, I would try to find a colt delta elite, or the full size Glock. Questions: 1. How does 10mm compare in recoil to 357 mag and 45 ACP? 2. Which gun do you think will recoil...
