    Advice for the novice?

    So my boss called the other day and is giving me a nice year end bonus. I thought about buying another gun (.45) but I got checking ammo prices and remembered all the reloads I've shot with my dad. I have no previous experience with reloading (I did however read the newbie thread here.) My...

    S&W repair work question.

    I bought a 686 about a year ago for $400. After shooting some .38's in it I stepped up to full .357 mag loads. The cylinder began to bind after about 2 rounds. I was able to get it unstuck, but it will bind with full mag loads everytime. One thing I found was if I run Blazer aluminum .357 in it...

    Question for PBP and others...

    I've seen numerous threads with pictures of beautiful spotless wheelguns, and I want to know how you get the cylinders clean of all that excess carbon? My .357 is SS, and I can't seem to get it clean (which is why I have owned primarily blued guns!) What's a guy to do? Helpful advice please is...

    New Plinker..

    I was all hung up on getting a new shotgun, then I started running my home accounts and found out my wife had spent a bit more than she let on. New plan, I went and bought a new Browning Buckmark 22lr. Pretty nice little pistol for less than $300, and a whole heck of a lot cheaper to shoot than...

    Next question...

    for alot of us "New Shotgunners" can some of you old hands explain the technical terms? I keep reading Heel, comb, fit, cheek piece, gas feed, and Inertia feed. I used to really be into sport shooting, but I had an old Mossberg Mod500, now I'm searching for a quality gun for around $600, but the...

    Wanting a good entry level shotgun..

    I went today and looked at some shotguns, and I was wondering if I could get some opinions on good entry level shotguns. Also for Skeet shooting is an over/under better than a pump? I fell in love a Browning 12ga. pump, but then they have a gorgeous Mossberg 12ga. over/under. The Browning is...

    Glock 19 for $399.00

    Is this a decent price for a used G19? It has a little wear, and has been dropped, it has some damage to the butt where it's actually chipped (a chunk is knocked out, the dealer guarantees the same as a new one) but it seems sound. Thoughts? I can buy NIB for $100 more. I'm thinking new, but...

    Is the S&W lifetime warranty..

    really lifetime? I have an older 686 (it's stamped 1987 inside the grips), and it tends to bind on full mag loads. I can shoot aluminum Blazer .357 in it just fine, but I get one, maybe two .357 brass rounds and it's bound up. It eats the heck out of .38 loads, brass or otherwise. Thoughts...

    Best medium sized auto for IWB carry?

    I am an admitted "Wheel Gun Guy" and I'm not ashamed of that fact, but I need something I can conceal a bit more easily IWB. I have read a bit about automatics (again I openly admit I know VERY little about them) and I know I'm wanting a single stack for the slimness. Caliber is a non issue as I...

    Shooting Photos...

    Not sure if this is allowed, but didn't see anything against it. Got neat photos from the range, firing line, competition..or just plinking? Let's see 'em. I stole this idea from NatJonB.........I'll go first, since I'm proud of the fact that my son isn't afraid to shoot.... shooting the .357...

    Ruger M77 First Gen question...

    I usually hang out in the Handgun forums, but I want to ask a question about my most current purchase. I bought a rifle from my father last Easter. It is a Ruger M77 25.06 with a 4x scope (not sure of maker.) It was made in 1975 (according to the Ruger Serial# search, if memory serves) and has...

    Question for those with CC experience..

    I am looking into purchasing a handgun for CC, but I have NO experience carrying. I am a cowboy style shooter with a full leather rig for my S&W686 .357mag. I also have a Ruger p95 9mm for home defense (my wife liked the way it handled.) My issue is, I work in convenience stores, and I want...
