    Guardian .380 vs Bond Defender .45lc/410

    I want a pocket gun that has good old steel. Both the Guardian .380 and the Bond Defender are very pocketable, MUCH smaller that a snub nose revolver, around the same weight (20oz), and will last a lifetime. Which way should I go 6+1 in .380 with a slight chance of a jam or just 2 rounds of...

    McCain attacking Obama on Chicago gun Ban

    Well I know who I'm voting for. With DC moving to ban all semiauto weapons in defense of the heller decision, I love to see who this is going to pan out. We will see Obama's true intent on the RKBA. I may not like McCain on some issue but he is definately got my vote...

    .32H&R Mag Vs. .38 Wadcutters recoil

    I am torn between purchasing a .32mag S&W 431PD airweight or a Ruger SP101 in .357. I like both for different reasons, and they are equal in price. I also understand the whole .32H&R is hard to find mess, I have unfortunately been around the block for a few years with the .32H&R. The following...

    .22WMR , .32H&R & .38 recoil/stopping power

    In coming up with a Self Defense revolver for my wife, who currently uses a .22lr Taurus, and hates shooting my .38 snubbies due to the recoil, I came up with the follow candidates; .22wmr - More ommph than a .22lr but increased muzzleblast. The longer the barrel the better the preformance...

    Need a new .22lr snubbie

    I'm looking for a new .22 DA snubbie, since my Taurus 94 has been traded. I don't know if I should just get another 94 (I had bad luck with the last one), or if I should try something else. A good used S&W is hard to find, and a new 317 is pricey($500). I'm thinking about the 94, a used ruger...

    changing trigger springs in a Taurus 94

    Has anyone tried to reduce the trigger pull on a taurus 94 (.22lr) or 941 (.22wmr) before? I heard everything from changing the trigger reset spring (wolff) to just giving the inside a good clean and lube will improve and lighten the trigger pull. OK I'll admit it. I can disassemble most semi...

    10/22 Magnum high capacity mags

    Butler Creek and Eagle make high capacity mags for the regular 10/22 .22LR but do they or anyone else make 20 or 30 round mags for the 10/22 WMR? I can't find them anywhere and I have the opportunity to buy a 10/22 mag for cheap. I rather have the option to buy something higher than 9 rounds.

    Ruger P95 vs Springfield XD reliability?

    I have a choice between the following 2 pistols. A Ruger P95DC and a Springfield XD sub compact. I like both for totally different reasons. The P95 is is a classic DA/SA hammer gun with a decocker and no manual safety, but a long heavy (but not too heavy ) DA pull. The Springfield XD is a...

    PT111 DA/SA trigger pull

    I fondled a new DA/SA Taurus PT111 one at the gun shop the other day and it seemed nice, but I did not have a chance to dry fire it. Does anyone know what the new trigger pull weight and travel is on the gun. I know the old DOA was long and heavy like the old Kel Tec P11 were(+10lb) , but on the...

    Taurus .410/.45lc revolver, any good?

    I seen a used Taurus .410/45lc revolver with a 3" barrel in my local shop. It is just facinating to me, a revolver shotgun. Anyone got one? How is the recoil on these things when shooting .410?? Is it worse or better than a .38 Snubbie? Are they reliability? Can you load and shoot both .410 &...

    Looking for a Semi auto as reliable as revolvers

    I'm looking for a semi auto that is ultra reliable for home defense. Something to replace a revolver. I have to admit Glocks falls into this category , but I'm not a fan of Glock's trigger. I prefer 9mm or maybe a .380 and something compact . Unfortuately I cannot go higher in caliber since my...

    Us Yankees need a lesson on how to to kill a gator

    Weird news story about a 5 foot gator found in a lake in Montana. I kind of felt bad for the critter, since the locals tried to kill it with was a deer hunting bow and a knife. It is unclear why Law enforcement or animal control were involved so late with this, but I'm assuming a firearm used...

    Louder report .22wmr or .32 H&R Mag

    Ok I'm still on the "I want a .32 H&R magnum, but I will not take the plunge" kick. I just get nervous with the ammo availability of the .32 magnum. Another option I was checking out is a .22 magnum revolver. Sure it has less weight and diameter than the .32 mag but it has great FPS and...
