    Bicycle carry

    I would like to hear from other bicyclists how you carry? I am a road cyclist and wear the usual tight fitted lycra. I currently only use a saddle bag but for one it is too small for my LCP, phone, and cc license - and second it is not in a very practical place to get to if needed in a hurry...

    Mini revolver or Derringer (NAA or Cimarron)

    I have an extra couple bills coming in and wanted to get something different. I have always had my eye on the little NAA mini revolvers in .22lr/.22mag but recently started looking at the Cimarron derringer in the same caliber. From pics, it looks like the derringer might be a bit easier to...

    H&R Sportster .17hmr

    Looking to get my first long gun and our LGS has a good deal on an H&R Sportster in .17hmr. Knowing very little about rifles, would this make a good first one? I know it is a single shot which I like the idea of, but I guess I'm asking if they are a well made rifle. One thing I noticed was...

    Beretta's new pocket pistol

    I didn't see a thread on this yet so figured I'd get one out - Beretta just put up their new pocket pistol on their website, the Pico. Chambered for .380 and .32 with interchangeable barrels. Another pocket pistol for us pocket pistol lovers :)

    Old PIC?

    I have just aquired this small mouse PIC from my father. He got it from an uncle of mine a long time back. It looks like a Browning Baby copy maybe? It appears to be a low quality made pistol as it is quite heavy and I suspect is made from pot metal. The pistol came to me with no magazine...

    What do I have here?

    Hello everyone. I am wanting to know a bit more of what I have here. This revolver belonged to my grandmother as she got it from a law enforcement friend - year is unknown. She has passed it down to my father (he never fired it) and he is now passing it down to me. I really know very little...

    The pain of it all

    Curious to hear other's stories regarding this - I have a RSI work related injury that caused a tennis elbow condition in my elbows. Ibuprofen releives this pain to a degree but it is still there. Now, I love to go to the range and this can sometimes flare it up more often than not. It...

    DAO woes

    Have any of you just given up on a gun design that just wasn't working for you? Frustration is beginning to set in with me and my DAO semi auto's. I have two, a newly aquired SCCY CPX-2, and a Kel Tec P-32. I admit to be a novice shooter at best and hold no pride in my shooting and would...

    Snap cap info

    Hello everyone. With wanting to get more into dry fire practice to work on trigger control, I have been looking into snap caps. I have read several times that A-Zooms are quite popular. However, I watched a couple of You Tube vids that showed the aluminum casing edge mushrooming out causing...

    SCCY CPX-2

    Just picked up a new SCCY CPX-2 (gen. 2) and was curious what you CPX owners have found to shoot well in it - also what should be avoided. I did a search and found quite a few threads regarding this pistol, but not much on what ammunition it likes. I like using 115 gr. ball for break in on...

    Ruger P95 / S&W Sigma 9mm

    I'm looking to get a medium sized 9mm and am considering the two in topic - P95 and Sigma 9mm. I find my small framed 9mm PF-9 to be a bit too snappy and would like to move into something a bit larger. Can you give me some personal preferences and opinions of the two? The price ranges are...

    Trading in

    We all know the old adage, "If I knew then what I know now..." Oh well, being a new shooter and buying several firearms I have come to find that this can be an expensive journey. I would like to trade in a couple of my pistols for one that to me would make more sense to what I am now liking...

    Bobcat ammunition

    New Bobcat owner here and I'm looking to know what people are finding success with in their Beretta 21A .22lr pistols. I read that CCI ammunition is well liked in these, but I would like to know of other alternatives in the event my LGS' don't have any CCI. Is it just the fact that the Bobcat...

    DAO Q

    While I am still learning, are there different DAO trigger designs? The reason I am asking, my wife's new Taurus PLY-25 came in and we went to pick it up tonight. While reading the manual and learning the pistol, she racked the slide and when she went to releive the trigger (snap caps ordered...

    Own, shoot, but don't carry

    I hope I don't open any cans of worms here, but how many own and shoot their guns just for the fact they love to shoot and don't carry for self defense purpose? While still being relatively new to firearms, and have purchased my gun (now guns) initially for CCW reasons, I have become more...

    Pocket gun jewels

    No, I'm not talking about Bedazzling the mouse gun (though, to each their own). Lately, I have really become fond of pocket/mouse guns (currently have two in the family; a KT P-32 and a Taurus PLY-25). While researching as much as I can on the little pocket guys, what are some of the finer...

    .32 acp

    I'm looking to know of the most reliable, little .32 Auto's currently on the market. So far I have considered the NAA Guardian .32, Kel Tec P32, and Seecamp LWS .32. I have looked into the Beretta Tomcat but read about the cracking issue. What others are out there? Thanks.
