    What handgun defends your home

    I was just wondering what others may consider to be the best handgun for home defense. I have several high end ones in the safe but always leave one out for that off chance that it may be needed to repel a home invader or deal with some of the four legged critters down here. I decided that I...

    Sig P229 ST All Stainless

    Looking for opinions on the new Sig P229ST all stainless .40 pistol. I already have the P226ST 9mm, and the P220ST .45 and both perform admirably. Since these are primarily range guns the extra weight of the steel frames is a plus. I also feel that the steel framed guns are more durable with...

    629 Cylinder skips

    I got a used Smith&Wesson 629-2 the other day and was firing it with 19 grains of 2400 behind a 240 grain SWC. I noticed that every so often the cylinder would fail to lock and the firing pin would strike between the primer and case. I found that the cylinder lock was not engaged in the cylinder...
