I enjoy exploring the nature of the shortage and the psychology behind people's buying habits for promotional grade 22 ammo which is the majority of what is purchased and shot/consumed. Summarize what you did before/do now and what you would like to do relative to "stocking up". If you...

Anyone who shoots 22 rimfires knows that they can be hard to find, especially at the old prices. But here is an author who suggests that the rimfire shortage is all Ruger's fault. :D I view it as a bit of tongue and cheek, but the articles is a fair read about a Python vs Coonan 357 shoot...

Most of us have heard the comment about prying our guns from our "cold dead hands" attributed to Charleton Heston more recently. Well, he is deceased now and his hands are cold. How do you feel about this concept in general? Is the Second Amendment right central to your rights as a citizen...

I made a comment on another forum that I am in the process of buying a used BFR for hunting. I have never shot a BFR and am not a big single action person in general. I have a Ruger SRH in 480 Ruger now that I hunt deer with. I didn't start a new thread, and as a result, the thread got buried...

I inherited this gun. What is the skinny on it? Good gun? Easy to sell? It looks like new. Good carry piece? I have always said I don't own a 9mm. I just realized that I DO in fact own a 9mm but no ammo. Never shot it. Have no desire to shoot it. I mostly shoot revolvers and 40 S&W pistols.

I responded to a thread about the Mini-14 and made the comment that I considered it expensive to rip off 200 rounds or more in an afternoon. My sense is that this is a light day for many here in terms of shooting. You add in shooting your favorite centerfire handguns and you just blew a couple...

IF there were no requirements for personal carry and you were allowed to carry anything currently legal other than Class III firearms, what would you carry? [Open Carry, Concealed Carrry, No CCW permits, No anything other than you're limited to what you consider practical or your financial...

Anyone here who use semi-automatics for hunting ever "double tap"? I used to do it with 22's years ago on wood chucks. Frankly, I probably missed the second shot anyway as I was doing head shots only. Never would consider the technique on deer or any larger game. It usually just takes one...

I would like to see the moderators insist that all posters have at least a correct state reference as to where they live. No Middle Earth stuff. It provides a great reference when somebody starts a thread about many topics whether it be about hunting, concealed carry, gun laws, etc. Example...

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Savage has a good reputation for accuracy and I have always wanted a rifle chambered in 22 hornet. Thoughts about the 22 hornet? Link to Savage Arms: http://www.savagearms.com/40Varmint.htm

I was wondering if anyone has created a nice target hammer for the Ruger Super Red Hawk revolver line? I find the hammers to be too sharp and difficult to use with one hand, especially with a scope on the gun. Any suggestions?

I have been doing some reading (never stop actually)... read an article by Dick Metcalf on whitetail hunting with handguns (Fall 1987 Shooting Times Handgun Quarterly). I don't have a great deal of experience with this topic, but am trying to learn. Metcalf takes a look at using the three...

Where is it possible to find non-biased data on crime as it relates to guns and so forth. I have read John Lott's book and the data seems scientifically approached. But, there seems to be some dispute over this as well. Where can I find good information?

I have a number of 22 rifles and have my preferences and so forth. But, if you were going to buy a new (currently manufactured) 22 rimfire rifle to be used for plinking, light target use (non-competition), and hunting... What you you recommend? >$500 and <$500 price ranges. (But all less than...

Wanted to get a feel concerning your attitudes about the "gunshow loop hole". As you know, the gunshow loop hole is for the most part being able to buy a gun without filling out the federal form and getting the background check from individual sellers or "individual" dealers... the ones without...

A friend mentioned that there is currently a national CCW permit. He said it has something to do with Homeland Security Agency. Do any of you have any information on this or is this just BS? I was told it is a 9-week course which includes handguns, rifles, and shotguns. I understand it is not...

I just purchased a 3" GP100 (357) revolver and was wondering what holster choices I have. I want it to fit the gun and I don't want to use a 4" holster for it. I like belt holster and have no desire for a shoulder rig. Price is not that critial, I am looking for a quality leather rig that...
