I have a lead remover cloth. I like how it cleans up my revolvers. The one I have is about completely full of lead. I'm a cheap barstool. Is there any practical way for me to recondition it? Or do I just throw it out and buy another?

Someone told me there are no stupid questions, but I gotta admit, I feel ignorant as a pig for asking this set. I'm looking for a functional, accurate pistol to target shoot in my own back yard, in the city. My back yard is small, but it rises into a hill and makes a perfect berm. Of course...

I just bought an H&R Model 1906 .22 Rimfire revolver. It was advertised as a .22 LR piece, but I see .22 Rimfire engraved on the barrel and the cylinder is mighty tiny, a .22 LR cartridge barely fits in the chamber. Please confirm or deny my suspicions: I think this gun is not chambered for .22...

I was leafing through a catalog and noticed there are two different versions of Crimson Trace Laser Grips for S&W J-Frame revolvers. They're listed as: S&W J-Frame, 3.15" tall, exposes, LG405 and S&W J-Frame, 3 1/2" tall, conceals, LG305 Both versions are shown installed on S&W 642s and I...

This is the best Christmas ever! A friend just gave me a well-used Marlin 60. I'm an old guy but a new shooter, have only been shooting handguns for a couple of years. I don't know anything about rifles. I have heard that the Marlin 60 is a classic American .22, and I'm thrilled to have this...

I'm a new shooter, and I don't know much about shotguns. I'm shopping for a shotgun for home defense. I'm taking my time, trying to learn about the subject and avoid costly mistakes. I'm a fairly big guy (6 foot, 220 pounds). I have shot a 12 gauge and I'm okay with it, but my wife is a small...

I have to share this. Any comment by me would be superfluous: http://www.hellinahandbasket.net/archives/002718.html

I'm looking for a small frame .22 target revolver that shoots good and doesn't cost a lot. I want a stainless steel finish, a 4 inch barrel and a 9 round cylinder. I plan to use the piece to cheaply practice double-action revolver shooting. I like the looks and specs of a Taurus 94, but I've...

Where can I buy some 'FBI load' .38 special ammunition? I'm a new shooter, an old guy from a non-gun background. I'm very ignorant, so I ask questions. I shoot a .357 revolver. I've heard of a type of .38 special ammunition developed for the FBI that combines (if I remember this right) a...

I'm a fairly new shooter. I own a Ruger .22/45 Mark II auto-loader with a bull barrel. I take it to the range once a week, usually with a friend, and we shoot about 200 rounds between us. The front sight is supposed to be non-adjustable. It's a piece of black plastic, secured to the barrel by a...

I'm an old geezer but a new shooter. I started target shooting at the range about four months ago. I now own a .357 S&W revolver for home defense and a Ruger .22 auto-loader for practice. I don't know much about firearms, but I'm learning. Recently I was given a Tec-22 Scorpion .22 auto-loader...
