I've taken quite a few deer with a handgun, in the 30 years I've been hunting. Most of them have been with a 7.5" ruger SBH. This is the first one I've taken with my 629 MG. I know it is much of a rack, but ..... 45 yards, 240gr sp, factory load. Taken today, this must be one of the dumb...

I've ordered a glock 20 in 10mm. I've read here and on other forums that the glock 20 can be converted to shooting 40 S&W with a drop in barrel from KKM. I'm interested in also being able to shoot 40 S&W to save some money and think that the $165 for the barrel is a reasonable price. Does...

I just got back from the range with my ruger super blackhawk. I bought this gun years ago, used, and I've never had any problems with it. I've shot mostly winchester 240gr jsp, but I've occasionally bought Remington. I had about 1/2 a box of winchester that functioned fine. I'd bought a box of...

Like many here, I've had "use the sights" and "front sight" pounded into my head. After re-reading Sixguns and Kill or Get Killed, I've been experimenting, again, with point shooting. After running several bricks of .22 through a 4" mod 17 S&W I think Bill Jordan, Rex Applegate and Elmer Keith...

I've handgun hunted in NC for many years. Last year, while reading the regs, I noticed the wording had changed. They used to specify, for big game, a handgun of no less than 24 caliber and a barrel of no less than 5.5 inches. The 5.5 inch reg appears to be gone, for big bore/big game. Does this...

I broke down and ordered an older 629 MG in .44 today because everyone knows my mod 19 would quickly be stuck where it would hurt if I happen to run into a black bear.:D Actually, I just wanted one. I found one with no lock and the firing pin on the hammer. I'm looking for a fun "plinking"...

With the best part of half a year left until bow hunting season starts, I've been trolling Amazon and B&N looking for something to read. Any suggestions? I was bitten by the gun bug as early as I learned what one was. I was born in 1964 and grew up watching westerns and war movies. As an early...
