    Thoughts on Stoeger Condor O/U

    I am not really a shotgun person but I am thinking about buying a new shotgun. I have never owned or even shot an over/under shotgun, but am sort of intrigued by the idea. I have always used a single, sxs, or auto-loader, but mostly a pump. I don't want to invest heavily because it would be used...

    Tristar S120 vs Canik S120 and EAA Witness

    These look the same to me. Is the Tristar simply a re-branded Canik? Both look very much like the CZ 75B. I would like to hear about experiences with both the Tristar and Canik S120 compared to the CZ75B. Also I would appreciate comments about the EAA Witness Steel 9mm. Thanks

    Sig 220 or 227?

    Aside from the difference in magazine capacity, is there any reason to choose one over the other? I have shot the 220 but not the 227. Is there any difference? Any problems with the 227?

    M&P 2.0 45acp?

    Anybody have experience with one of these yet. I am thinking about buying one and would like opinions of those with experience. Have they even been released for sale? I talked to dealer yesterday that said he could get me one but he hadn't talked to his distributor so maybe he was just assuming...

    Opinions on Heritage Big Bore 357mag?

    I have been thinking about getting a single action 357mag. I considered Ruger New Vaquero, Cimarron Model P or Frontier, and various models of Uberti. Today I looked at a Heritage Big Bore 357 and it was substantially less expensive. I noticed that the finish was not as good as the guns...

    Uberti Horseman

    Does anyone have experience with the Uberti Horseman? I am wanting a new SA 357mag and I like the transfer bar system on the Ruger New Vaquero. The thing is I really want a case hardened finish on the frame. Does Ruger offer this finish? If so, I can't find any evidence of it. How do the Ubertis...

    Double Stack 9mm 1911?

    Does anyone make one except Rock Island? I looked at their site and all I saw was a Tac version with a rail. Would prefer to not have the rail. I am not sure whether I would rather put the rail or go with a single stack. Also in 45acp most if not all of the single stack mags will fit any 1911 or...

    Why a lower powered fixed power scope.

    Why would one choose a lower powered fixed power scope over a variable power scope? I have my ideas but would like input from you folks. One thing I have noticed is that the fixed power is usually less expensive than the variable. Any other reasons?

    Mohawk 44 mag

    Is there such a thing as a Mohawk 44 magnum single action revolver? Maybe it was a Blackhawk but she said Mohawk. It wasn't a very good pic I saw. It had a barrel about 12" long including the compensator. Relative of a friend wanted to sell I think. Thanks.

    Taurus PT92 No Rail

    Today in a pawn shop I saw a Taurus PT92 that did not have the rail. I have never seen one without the rail. Can someone here tell me about these? Is it special edition, no longer made, when it might have been made, etc.

    Tell Me About 9mm 1911s

    I am thinking about getting either a Beretta 92 or a 9mm 1911. I had a Taurus PT92 that I was really good with so I have a pretty good idea about the Beretta and its capabilities. I have a 1911 in 45acp, but have no experience with a 9mm 1911. Those of you that have experience with the 9mm 1911...

    Wife not interested in AR15

    Took my non-shooting wife to the range today to shoot a new 38Sp I bought for her(at her request). Took my AR15 along. She said she wasn't much interested in shooting it but would give it a try. After the 10th mag, she said it was hurting her shoulder.:D:D I guess she didn't like...

    ZQI 5.56x45 Ammo

    Saw this stuff in 30 round boxes for $10 a box. I picked up two boxes to give it a try for plinking and I like to know what will and what won't work in my guns. Has anybody tried this stuff. I don't expect it to be great since it is so cheap, but who knows it might be okay. Anybody tried it?

    AR15 Confusion

    Recently bought my first AR15. Went with the DPMS for $599. It is cheap, entry level gun. I am not sure I really like the AR platform, so I didn't want to go in too deep. It will work for me for awhile at least. It is stamped .223/5.56 on the lower receiver. Also I am in Texas. Finally I get to...

    Reloading Supplies in San Antonio

    I live in a small town, so my suppliers of reloading stuff are limited. I go to San Antonio periodically because my daughter lives there. I am wondering if any of you can tell me of any good stores for reloading supplies there. I pass by Cabela's on the way usually, sometimes by Bass Pro, but...

    Pump Action 22lr

    Who makes a pump action 22lr.? Anybody besides Remington and Henry? I have been sort of interested in a pump 22 since I was a kid seeing my grandpas old pump leaning up behind the kitchen door. Never got to shoot it because I was "too little" before he passed away. I remember it looking like the...

    Sig 220 or 226

    If you could have only one of these two which would it be? What is the difference other than caliber and magazine capacity? If you were to choose the 45 would you opt for the 227 and why or why not? I have pretty much decided I "need" one of the afore mentioned pistols, but can only "justify"...

    Largest 380

    I see the 380 in small pocket pistols and ones that are slightly bigger. What is the largest gun, past or present, chambered in 380acp? I used to see the Browning BDA and it was pretty large for 380. I thought it looked good, but why not go with 9mm, which I did with the Hi Power.

    Finally got a 40 cal

    I went looking for a 40 cal today. I was sort of set on a Sig 2022 or FNX-40. I thought I might consider a M&P 40 or a XD-40. The only one I found was the M&P 40, with or without the manual safety for $529. Then my buddy with me wanted to stop in a pawn shop to look for ammo. I went in and there...

    Tell me about 38 Super

    This looks sort of interesting. At first glance it looked like a hopped up 9mm, magnum, or something. The cartridge dimensions are somewhat similar. I have seen very few guns chambered for this round and they were all 1911s. Are /were any other guns chambered for 38 Super? I read that 38 Super...
