    .40 s&w ammo fire sale prices

    Just picked up 3950 .40 nearly all new fmj factory ammo in boxes, all brass cases for $600 off my local Armslist. At about .15/rd, it would cost me more in powder, primers and bullets to reload this ammo with free cases! I realize .40 has come out of favor, and that's a good thing because I see...

    Is shooting someone who is trying to beat you up self defense?

    Assuming you believe the defendant's girlfriend and witness following the van and motorcycle, do you think the defendant was correctly charged with assault? what's the general law when it comes to using deadly force against non-deadly force? http://www.whec.com/news/stories/S1692162.shtml?cat=566

    Wondering if I should carry a car gun.

    In Colorado you can carry a loaded handgun in your vehicle without a carry permit, which i don't have and don't plan to get anytime soon. Off and on I wonder about carrying a gun in my work van, which brings me all over the place including bad neighborhoods. Today got me thinking again. I was...

    USFA Single Action grips

    I'm going to order a Single Action from USFA and am trying to decide which grips to go with. I can't find any pics of their walnut, ivory (any version) or stag grips anywhere - anyone have any pics they can share?

    .38sp/.357 question

    Probably a dumb question, but is there a difference in recoil/velocity in the same gun between loading 4.3gr w231 in .38sp and the same load/powder/bullet in .357 mag?

    Smith 586 Nickel vs nickel Python

    Looking at buying one of these, both in excellent shape, 6" barrels. Forgetting the name on the gun and resale value, is the Python worth twice the price? ($550 vs $1100) Again, just from the perspective quality of finish and all factors mechanical.

    Gun store owners are getting rich, thanks to Obama.

    I went to the firing range today, it was a madhouse as usual on the weekends. The guys behind the counter told me the owner made a profit of one million freaking dollars in November alone, that's after all expenses. These poor slobs were complaining about making an hourly wage, the owner is the...

    Value of this Model 29?

    The firing range I shoot at has had this gun for sale for months. Why would it be worth $3300 when I've never seen any model 29 for sale for even half that? am I missing something or are they on crack? http://www.firinglineonline.com/detail.php?cat=10&id=392

    ammo sales

    Went to Walmart today to buy some .22lr ammo - I shoot the Federal boxes of 550, and was told they were out, no idea when more would come in or where to find it. The guy said Federal can't keep up with demand, and that a bill was before Congress right now with a 500% tax increase on all...

    3:10 to Yuma

    Saw it today for the first time. Did anyone else here enjoy seeing those old Colt .45 SAA's? damn I love these guns, they just epitomize the old west. Too bad the movie was so stupid. Why do so many westerns have to glorify and exaggerate so damn much? I loved Unforgiven, until it lost all...

    Anyone know max load W231 for .38sp?

    I've been shooting .357 mags out of my Colt SAA, but I'm also trying to come up with a good alternative .38sp load for less recoil/more accuracy and for use with a S/W model 36 snubnose I'm probably going to buy. Using 158gr hardcast swc, I tried 4.0 grains of 231 - pretty wimpy, noticeably less...
