This has always been difficult for me. The only way to put the rod in the barrel is muzzle first. This causes problems (scraping the crown, damaging barrel). Being clumbsy, I HAVE scraped the crown before. Is there a way to scrub the barrel (or something to buy) that would lessen the chance...

Anyone one one of these? What model? Is it quality?

I don't know much about pocket pistols but I might want to buy one just to add to my collection. What are the best quality pistols/makes/models in pocket pistols for the following calibers? .22 LR? .25 ACP? .32 ACP?

What DOUBLE ACTION brands do you all like? I think Ruger and Smith & Wesson both make excellent DA revolvers. I have owned both. Everything else is second tier IMO. In general S&W's have better actions/triggers than the Ruger, but I personally like the Ruger design better: such as the...

This is in response to the 2 Glock bashing threads of late. Of all the semiautomatic CENTERFIRE pistols I have owned, the one brand thats broken the most, had poor reliability, and poor SA trigger has been the S&Ws. Iv'e owned 2 S&W CENTERFIRE semi-autos and won't buy from them again unless...

Ok,I am curious as to what guns handle dry firing better than others. I like to dry fire for practice, but I usually use "snap caps". For this discussion, what brands are easier damaged when dry firing w/o snap caps? Please also explain why... Semi-autos: Sig Sauer Glock Ruger Revolvers...

As I reported earlier, my Ruger P97 has an excellent single action trigger pull. It feels like it is well under 4 lbs (its silky smooth). In reality, I havn't had it measured yet, but knowing Ruger it must be at least 5 lbs(even though it feels lighter). The SA pull is much better than any...

I put my new P97 side by side to my Glock 17, and what do you know...the P97 is bigger! Its suppose to be a compact and its larger and wider than the "full sized" Glock 17. Mr. Ruger makes great guns, but I think old Bill needs new glasses.

I was told this is the best gun cleaner. YET, it says nothing about removing copper and lead buildup. The can only mentions removing dirt. Does it remove copper and lead?

I shot it for the first time today. I love it! Great accuracy and excellent SA trigger pull. DA trigger is slightly above average. But, here is my dilema: Its slipery polymer tends to shift in the hand. I want to put a Hogue wrap-around on it, BUT: is it legal? After all, on the P97, the...

Before the P95 came out, I honestly had a low opinion of Ruger semi-autos. In fact, the P89, P90, and other early models had the ergonomics of a brick IMO. Accuracy was just average too. But, the P95 and P97 have turned me around. The P95 has excellent accuracy, very good trigger, and good...

So far S&W has taken a backseat (though I admit not enough Sig or Glock responses to draw conclusions). But with the limited responses very few complaints about Sigs or Glocks, and a moderate amount regarding S&W's (roughly 1/3 complain rate). However, I won't draw any conclusions until we get...

I think this thread still has a long way to go so I included part 2. As stated in my final post, the first part shows a favorable view on S&W semi-autos. Still, the rather moderate amount of reported problems suggests a possible quality control problem in my opinion (one reader reported 7/30...

Please share your experiences with S&W centerfire semi-autos (not counting Sigmas). Include reliability, durability, SA and DA trigger pulls, accuracy, ergonomics and your overall opinion of them. Please share if you had a good pistol, bad one, or have mixed reactions. I hope this can be a...

Why was this model discontinued? I don't like .40 cal in general so I don't give a flying poop that it was...but I am still curious as to Ruger's reasoning.

I know of the following message boards/forums: Ruger Sig Sauer Glock Is there a Smith&Wesson message board/forum? I want to stir up $***

To continue the last thread, I want to include revolvers in this discussion too. If you could only own/keep one semi-auto, and one revolver, what would you own and why? I would keep my Glock 21 (.45 ACP) and my 1997 model Smith & Wesson 686 plus (6" barrell. Reason: the Glock 21 has...

Does the Ruger P97 have a supported chamber?
