Hi, I'm itching to buy a semi-auto 22lr pistol, since I don't own one. I am still in the research stage, but I am focusing in on the Browning Buck Mark pistols. I see that the Buck Mark pistols have different style grip frames and barrel/sight configurations. Is there any concerns or possible...

Not sure if this has been posted, but I figured I would post it here just in case. Several Winchester SXP models can fire if you rack a shell into the reciever. Even if the safety is on and your hand is away from the trigger. Recall Here...

I got a chance to shoot my new Henry today. First, lever guns are a blast! This is my first lever gun and actually my first rifle. Everything I've owned up to this point has been hand guns or shot guns. So, being my first rifle, there is a bit of a learning curve I think. I shot it at my...

Like the title says, I went shopping around at several stores today looking for a Henry .22lr. I figured I would post some of my thoughts on the process for those who are inclined to read some ramblings of a shopper :) I looked at a lot of different models and this is my opinions. Golden Boy...

Wanted a .357 Magnum lever gun for a while. I looked into Henry because the action on Henry rifles is slick out of the box. But, I wasn't sure about the octagon barrel and brass reciever. A lot of weight added for looks. Now Henry comes out with a new Bigboy with a round barrel and blued...

Hi, I was able to get some time in at the range with my newly acquired 1989 Taurus Model 669 6" barrel revolver. I was able to put 150 .38 specials through it today and it functioned flawlessly. I will have to say the revolver is a shooter and is most likely more accurate than I am. I'm sure...

How many of you have said those words? lol Anyway, I really did just go to buy ammo today after work. Of course, I did the mandatory walk through to look at all the guns. Now, all my handguns are stainless. I've been itching to buy a .357 blued gun just for range use (all my other handguns...

Yup. I said it..... I said it for a long time.... I said it to all that would hear..... Well, today at the range I overheard a gentleman tell another shooter how is was looking into a Bersa UC 9mm but hasn't had a chance to shoot one yet. Well, lo and behold, I happened to be shooting a...

Just got an email from Henry showing this new model. Looks neat, 16.5" octagon barrel, short stock, silver reciever, full adjustable bukhorns, and carbine large loop lever. Its like a mini frontier with a silver reciever and large loop. Check it out...

Hi, So, I've been going back and forth on my 1st rifle selection. I can't decide between lever action or bolt action, rimfire or centerfire. Perhaps you can help me decide. I've done my research, handled guns at various gun stores and pretty much narrowed the field. I'm so torn, between bolt...

Hi Guys and Gals, So, I've had my Bersa UC Pro 9mm for a little while now and this past weekend, while at the range, I ran into something troubling that I wanted to run by you. To start off, the gun has about 500 rounds through it thus far. The first 450 rounds ran fine, but this weekend I put...

Hi, I got the hankering to buy a rifle. I was looking at the firearms I own and decided that since there is not a rifle, of any kind, that it was time to remedy that. So far my (meager) collection consists of: Ruger SP101 .22lr (4", full lug, 6-shot) Ruger SP101 .357 Mag (2.25", spurred...

Hi, So.. I've been keeping an eye out for a rifle to round out my meager collection. Right now I have: .22lr Revolver 9mm Semi-auto Pistol .357 Revolver 12 gauge shotgun Anyway.. every time I go into a gun store for ammo or what have you, I look through the rifles, pick em up and see how the...

I dropped by my LGS to grab some 9mm on the cheap (decent sale) and did my customary walk around to see what was in the cases. There in the case was sitting a brandy-new Dan Wesson 715 .357 Mag with a 6" barrel. The clerk noticed me looking and asked what I thought. I said it looked well made...

Hi, I've been itching to get a lever action in .357 for a while. I'm still in the research phase at this moment. I wanted to focus on the Rossi's for this thread. Question. It seems like every thread I read about them, people talk about them as "a tinkerers gun" or "Think of them as a kit...

Guy must have thought he was in Hollywood. I have never seen anyone grab two semi-autos and start blasting away like that at a range. I was just signing out and one of the range guys say "what the heck is he doing"! The other range guy gets up and saw what was going on and says "Hell no"! He...

I was watching TV and they were showcasing ShotShow 2014. They showed this very weird grip. One of the guys that was doing the showcasing said that it was ugly for sure, but the gun pointed great. For $20 it might be something to check out for you J-Frame guys out there (I don't have one, I got...

Hi, I had a couple of threads, trying to decide on my first Semi http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=540055 http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=540810 And decided on the Bersa UC9 Pro..... So, I took out my new UC9 to the range yesturday morning to try it out. I ran...

Hi, I'm going to go to the range this weekend to test out my new gun (first semi). I was talking to my co-worker today, who has been shooting longer then I've been alive, and he told me something I never heard before. I wanted to get the forum members opinions... He said that when he gets a...

Update on post #20 Hi, I've been researching and trying out a lot of compact 9mm's over the past several weeks. This would be my first semi-auto (I have revolvers and shotguns right now) and would be my only semi-auto for the foreseeable future. I really like DA/SA metal framed pistols (I've...
