    Rifle identification

    My wife’s stepfather recently passed and I was given 5 guns from my mother in law. I’m trying to sell them as I don’t need Any more rifles but cannot identify one rifle, so I have no idea of the value. It’s obviously a Mauser action in 30.06, but that’s about all I can figure. The most obvious...

    AR's at Dicks Sports

    Took a quick run across the border into Ohio today and stopped at Dicks and Gander Mountain to look around. The guy at Dicks said that about the month ago the top brass came in and pulled all the AR's off the shelves. He said that the top guys said they'd never sell them at Dicks again ( at...

    The public knowing who owns guns

    I've heard many comments that some of the new proposed legislation will lead to others knowing who owns guns. Do you really care that people know that you own guns of any type? While some view it as an invasion of privacy, I could personally care less who knows I own guns, including handgun and...

    .22 rimfire not going to be manufactured anymore?

    bough a new .45 sig today at the shop and was talking to the owner. He said he's heard that at least the major manufacturers will stop making .22 rimfire ammo due to the low profit they generate. Anyone heard this one yet??

    .22LR and mag revolver

    Hey guys, been a long time since I visited. I'm thinking about getting a .22 revolver for plinking and maybe CCW at times. I'd like to be able to shoot both LR's and mags out of it. I know that you can get 2 cylinders to do both, but what manufacturers have that capability? Can you buy an...

    looking for new CCW

    I'm in the market for a new ccw. I currently carry a taurus pt 140 .40 and it has never had a FTF. Accuracy is an issue and It shoots very low. I've thought and thought and have decided to go with a 9mm due to the increasing price of ammo. I think I've also realized that shot placement is...

    Best Glock for CCW

    I'm going to be purchasing a new pistol for ccw and want a weapon as small and light as my current ccw, a Taurus Millenium pro .40. I still need to go handle them, but from most of the posts and what I read, Glock is the way to go. I could be wrong and please let me know of personal...

    Trip to the range, auto with poor accuracy

    I finally made it out to the range today to fire my new Taurus 44ss6, given to me as a gift from a good friend for taking care of all his medical needs over the years. Yea, I know, hell of a gift. I had never shot a .44 in all my years and was expecting one hell of a wallop. I'm usually...

    aiming or shooting problem

    I have 2 .357's, one ruger, one taurus, that are relatively accurate out to 25 yards, which I'm happy with. I picked up a taurus Mil-pro 140 this summer and have yet to shoot well with it. I know it's an auto vs revolvers, but even when I shoot it very slowly, one shot at a time, I...

    Taurus Millenium Pro pt 140 sights?

    I enjoyed putting about 150 shells through my new Taurus yesterday and had not shot more than a clip or 2 since I got it in Sept. No failures at all, with both FMJ and HP ammo. Cor-Bon HP's were noticable hotter than FMJ's and more accurate. I discovered the gun was shooting very low. I had to...

    best holster for Taurus mil pro 140

    Got my PT 140 and bought an in-the-pants holster for it. This is how I prefer to CCW as I don't wear alot of coats or vests. It's a cheap one, (cost me $15). It does the job, but I feel the butt end of the grip sticks out too much. Has anyone bought or tried another in-the-pants or pancake...

    New auto, clean first? opinions

    Just picked up a new taurus Mil Pro 140 and I don't know if I should field strip it first or just do it after my first range trip? Sorry, I know this question has been asked. How many rounds before and between cleaning can you go? Also, should you just swab the barrel occasionally, say every...

    Taurus Millenium Pro pt 140

    Well, I think I've made up my mind and will be picking up a Millenium pro PT 140 in 40 cal Monday. I can get with a stainless slide for $279. My dealer says it was won at an auction and never fired, which seems to be the case when I examine it. No feed marks, no handling marks at all, and I...

    minimum caliber for defense

    What is the minimum caliber you would feel comfortable with for defense purposes? The key word is "comfortable", as I know a .22 will handle many situations. But would most feel "comfortable" with it. I was also thinking, what is the minimum caliber if you only had one shot? This would be to...

    Just picked up my CCW permit

    Just picked up my permit. What an easy and painless process. No interview, but I think I had an in, being the county jail's medical director. Feels good to be legally able to carry. Now I need to start looking for somethink smaller than my Taurus 627 .357 as I don't know if it will be too...

    taurus 140 thoughts, .40 or 9mm

    Thinking about picking up a new Taurus 140 Blued auto. I seem to be partial to Taurus after getting a 627 tracker .357 and loving it. The 627 is a bit large for CCW and I was wondering if anyone carried a 140? If so, should I go with the .40 cal or 9mm for defense, I've heard arguments for...
