    Looking or good shooting vest w/ shoulder protection

    Hey all. I am looking for a decent looking (i.e. not mesh) shooting vest, preferably in some neutral color like tan or the such. Also looking to get shoulder protection for it (rifle and shotgun are used at range). Built in would be great, either integral into the vest or via a inside pocket...

    Value of a Herter's Single Action .357 Magnum?

    I saw one recently in what I would list as Very Good/Excellent condition. Little wear shown, just a bit dirty - bore looks very nice. What do these guys go for?

    Meed good grips for S&W Centennial model 40

    The one with the 'lemon-squeezer' safety. That thing is terrible to shoot with stock grips and really does a number on my hand. Preferably I would like something that makes it comfortable to fire, but also isnt something huge and ugly. But I can definitly see the value of some rubber or...

    Anyone really like the NAA mini revolvers?

    I took a .22 with the 1 1/8" barrel to range the other day. I dont know if it was me, but the thing was DARNED hard to control. There is so little to hold on to - I cant see accuracy being good at all. I have seen the video of the guy shooting the Black Widow, but that has larger grip. What...

    Need magazines for my Colt Mustang

    Hey there. I am trying to find at least two (relatively) inexpensive magazines for my Colt Mustang. I have obtained two stainless after-market magazines that - frankly - stink. THe one barely gets in the magazine well and you have to pull on it to get it to release. The other doesnt fit in...

    How to get dark spots out of barrel?

    Hey all, took a inherited 1905 Colt in .44 Russian (.44 Special) to range for first time on Sunday. Pleasure to shoot and super accurate. Prior to bringing it out I had run a patch through it and took a cursory look down barrel - looked nice and shiny. After range, I cleaned it out again...

    At range: rapid fire or evenly spaced shots?

    I dont know if I am old-fashioned, but I am used to shooting evely spaced shots where I re-acquire a target in the sights before squeezing the trigger. I figure about 1.5 - 2.0 seconds between shots. Most of the people around me at the range are blazing away like they are in a hurry ro get...

    Info on 38 Special Hi-Way Master ammo?

    Just came across a box of the Remington 38 Special Hi-Way Master ammo. Where can I find some info on this round? Like velocity and guns that are safe to shoot it. I tried searching for it but found damn little. Some one was selling an empty box for some crazy price, so I assume this stuf is...

    Scaring off bad guy with gun - danger he could ambush you later?

    Always wondered this, and wondered if anyone had any experience. SCENARIO: You're walking back to your car after a night out in the city with your wife/girlfriend (and you're carrying concealed). Bad guy steps out of alley in front of you with knife and demands money. You brandish firearm...

    Old MAS 1936 Commercial in 10.75x68 - value?

    Found one of these rifles recently. I'm a sucker for the old big game loads (10.75 and 9.3). This thing looks like it would be insane to shoot (no buttstock padding, bolt action and big cartridge), but fun as well. At least the resulting trauma to my shouldr would prevent me from going...

    Setting up new safes - what do i put underneath?

    I have heard people say to put the safes up an inch or two above the floor to prevent moisture (on 2x4's or such). Then again I have heard others say bolt them to the floor. These are going in the basement against a common wall (cinderblock). Cant put against outside wall as the damned...

    Trying to find a wall safe for pistol

    There was a electronic safe I saw a bit back for pistol (or jewelry but mostly pistol). It mounts between wall studs and is pretty straightforward. Teh only catch was that it was hinged on the bottom and thus opened towards you and down. Holster was mounted on door and I believe it may have...

    Need help with duffel for transporting guns

    I found a great duffel at an online store - new canvas sealed in the bag. Plenty big enough for almost all of my longarms (I like to be more subtle about carrying firearms in and out of my house with nosy neighbors around). The trick is that while the duffel has a carrying strap it does not...

    Full auto rifle caliber ranges in SE PA ?

    Looking to fire my Bren and the one range I used to go to is now converted to some boring skeet range (Twin S if anyone remembers). I heard there was some place indoors in Bensalem that let you shoot rifle but I'm loking or an outdoor range. There's an indoor subgun place near me (French Creek...
