    What's the general consensus on the FN Five-seveN?

    I've read some pretty great things about the 5.7x28 round, and of course it's a big bonus that this gun can hold 20 to 30 (yes, they make an extended mag for it) + 1 rounds. However, there always seem to be people that compare it to a .22 Mag simply because of the bullet size. This is the gun...

    So what's the story on Ruger triggers?

    I'm looking at .357 revolvers, and I've talked to a THIRD person that owns one that tells me that S&W triggers are substantially better than Rugers, but that Ruger can shoot ammo that's more stout. What's the deal with the trigger on Ruger revolvers? Need some feedback from those who own...

    S&W 500 question

    I have a 6.5" S&W 629 .44 Magnum that I love to shoot regularly. I've been looking into getting a S&W 500. I recently handled the model with an 8 3/8" length barrel and it felt so barrel-heavy to me. I haven't seen the 6.5" in person, but if it's as balanced as my 629, that'd be great. It would...

    Can someone explain this to me? (Pretty basic question)

    I've searched google, and I can't find en explanation that makes sense to me. "The .357 is about the most powerful handgun round in terms of stopping power." How in the world could a .357 Magnum have more stopping power than a .44 Magnum? I don't understand that. I've shot both, and I...

    Evaluate this statement please...

    "There is no reason to *EVER* go with .357 mag in a J-frame, as the significantly larger muzzle blast and flash, and harsher recoil of the .357 Magnum does NOT result in substantially improved terminal performance compared to the more controllable .38 Special bullets when fired from 2” barrels."...

    If you never had any intention to reload...

    And you had to rank these cartridges top to bottom from "not necessary to reload" to "you'll go broke if you don't reload", what would your list look like? .38 .357 .44 Magnum .45 Colt 454 Casull Just curious as to your thoughts.

    Anyone own BFR revolvers?

    I'm looking at several offerings (mainly the .450 Marlin & 45-70), simply because I love big bore hand guns. Anyone own one? The recoil is supposed to be not much - if any - worse than a healthy load in a S&W 629 44 mag. Just looking for your feedback on how well the gun is made, how it...
