Hello Everyone. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the velocity and muzzle energy of Hornady's 500 grain 500 magnum load. I can't go to Hornady's site because of software on my computer that censors what I look at. My kid sister uses the computer for school and the school demands the...

Hello everyone. I am a member of both the High Road and Sixgunner forums,not to mention this one. I was wondering if there are any other firearms forums out there.

Has anyone seen the Clint Eastwood movie The Enforcer? I'm wondering what the gun Tyne Daly uses in it. It's a snub nose revo, but it looks too big to be a j frame. Anybody know?

Has anyone ever seen a full write-up on the RB 500? I've been watching the gun rags, waiting for a review but I've never seen one.

So, does anyone here own a Thompson G2 460 S&W magnum? For a cartridge that loves to boast about velocity, I would think that a 15inch barrel would be amazing.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if ruger ever made a blued 45 colt Redhawk with a 7 and a half inch barrel? If they did, what could I expect to pay for one?

Hello everyone. A friend and myself are interested in long range rifle shooting. We are using his land for our range and have been shooting at 100 yards. That has become way too easy. There is enough space to push out to 300 yards, though at some point, I would like to find a place to shoot at...

Hello, everyone. I just took a few pics of some of my favorite hand cannons and I thought I'd show you. I'd love to see any pictures you might happen to have of your favorite hand cannons ;) Don't be shy; no matter what they say, everybody loves a big gun! :D Top to bottom: Ruger Super...

Hello everyone. I've decided to finally buy a 458 Winchester Magnum. This will be the biggest, baddest firearm I will ever own, and it's time to do some research. Me and my friends are more of a handgun crowd, so our collected experience with rifles is limited. I have only fired 243, 35...

My question is, can it be done? I have never felt the need, as my favorite store has always done right by me. I recently saw a used GP100 at a store I don't generally patronize for $30 more than the brand new one at my usual place. It made me wonder just how the final price is determined and...

Hello everyone. I would like to know when is the appropriate time to change the recoil spring on my Browning Hi-Power. For that matter, when should I change any particular spring in the gun? I have put around 1000 rounds through the gun, and it still cycles just fine.

I have recently been looking to buy a Beretta Cougar in 45acp, but I can't find one on the Beretta website. Has the gun been discontinued?

Hello everyone. I'm in a bind. I have decided to pick up a brand new 1911 45 pistol for the collection. The problem is ...:confused: which to buy? My experience with said pistols is limited and has been mixed. I've shot two Springfields and both were jam-o-matics so Springfield is out of the...

Hello everyone. My question is just what is a flat trajectory? I have read that a flatter trajectory means a more accurate round, and this is what makes the 41 magnum more accurate than the 44 magnum. What causes a cartridge to have a flatter trajectory than another?

Hello everyone. I have a few questions about the SBH. First, I would like to know what I could expect to pay for one with a 7 and a half inch barrel. Also, just how strong are they? Can they fire buffalo bore ammo safely? Are they stronger than regular blackhawks? I have a Super Redhawk...

Hello everyone. I have a few questions about my new Glock. First I was wondering if a Glock is safe to dry fire. The manual doesn't say anything about it. Also, I have heard that lead bullets are not safe to fire through glocks because of the rifling. Again, the manual doesn't say. Any...

I know that the Taurus PT92/99 series are made in a Beretta factory that Taurus bought. My question is do the Taurus versions have the same slide retention device added to them that Beretta added to their 92FS (giving it the S in the model type) after all the slide problems? I may be mistaken...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone here remembers an old cartridge called the 500 magnum that came out a good 12 years or so before the smith and wesson round. I recall seeing it in a gun magazine and believe it was called the 500 HWP magnum. I don't know if it was a wildcat cartridge...

I have been considering buying a .475 Linebaugh in BFR for some time. My question is just how is the recoil in this massive single action revolver? The most experience I have in big bore revolvers is the .454 Raging Bull and I have no problem handling the heaviest loads in that gun. I'm...

Hello everyone. I am just starting on the fascinating world of reloading and know next to nothing about it except how much I want to start. My first question is what kit to buy. I have a friend who has also just started and he likes his Lee kit. I am trying to decide on whether I want to...
