My husband finally went out and spent his long-saved birthday money today, on not one but *two* rifles. We have a beautiful new Ruger 10/22 RB with a glowing dark wood stock, and a new evil black Bushmaster M4-16 tricked out with an extended magazine of some sort and red dot sight. I haven't...

I've been looking into getting some heavy .357 rounds for bear protection when hiking in the Sierras. I've noticed that a number of the heavier .357 bullets (over 154 grain or so) are advertised as "hardcast". I can't tell whether this is a type of simple lead bullet, a jacketed bullet, or...

The heaviest .357 Magnum load that I've ever shot from my S&W Model 60-10 revolver (3" barrel steel J-frame) was 158 GR Magtech. I'm looking into getting some rounds specifically to carry for self defense when hiking in bear country. As I understand it, what I want are heavy non-expanding...

I just checked, and she last posted to the Firing Line in early April. I hope all is well with her and hers?

It came in today, so I am now *officially* the owner of two guns. (And a half interest in a Mossberg 500 shotgun.) The new gun is a S&W J-Frame with a 3" barrel, and as such closely matches the dimensions of my carry gun, an S&W Model 60-10. It is an airweight, weighing half as much as the...

I got my husband a Springfield 1911 for Christmas. Nevada requires you to qualify on each separate semi-automatic that you want to carry concealed. Today we *finally* got out to the range to get it added to his permit. My carry gun is a revolver and I had only shot this gun once, but for the...

I'm researching the possibility of installing a lockbox or safe on the car for our carry guns (when we are visiting a place where we can't carry) and/or other small valuables. The car is a small SUV (Subaru Forester), so we don't have a trunk. I therefore want a lockbox that can be bolted or...

Today my husband and I went out for breakfast. I was looking for something I could wear to cover up my gun, and realized that I didn't have proper clothing for concealed carry when the weather was going to be over 90. So I carried openly instead. (That's legal most places here in Nevada.) My...

I tried out some Crimson Trace laser grips at the store today, and was sold. I have limited vision -- blind in one eye, correctable to 20/30 or thereabouts in the other. With this grip and that wonderful red dot, I could get a better sight picture than I've ever managed with normal sights. I...
