In Myrtle Beach the other day two men get in an argument at a fast food drive thru. Some idiot gets out of his car and walks over to the car behind him and punches the guy in the face. Well, this guy pulls his weapon and shoots him twice killing him. The guy that does the shooting is 30 years...

My nature loving sister and I have been battling over this topic for years. I enjoy hiking with the family in the Smoky Mountains. However, I realize crossing a female and her cubs could be extremely hazardous to my and my family's health. Cherokee National Parks strictly forbid the carrying of...

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense (waiting for attack). The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too...

I'm in SC and was told to allow for 3 months. Just figured that was "protocol" but given the leadership changing for the worse, I guess it may have everything backed up. It's going on 2 months now...

My .44 model C has some issues after only 100 rounds of firing. It's my second revolver from Taurus with a problem and rather than sending it off and paying the shipping fee, I'd figure I'll try asking here if anyone else had the same problem and was able to fix it on their own. My cylinder...

Hello all. I'm a fan of the "wheel gun" and my permit is being processed. In the meantime, I am looking for advice on the best revolver for C & C. I have a Taurus 617, 7 shot, .357, 2" barrel but the gun has issues. The cylinder can be pulled completely off the frame and it needs to be shipped...

Just bought ( actually traded for ) this cool little gun. Have yet to shoot it as time hasn't permitted. Cannot find any info about this product on Taurus' website. Hope they're not embarrassed by it :) Anyhow, haven't taken a pic as yet to post, but here is an image off gunbroker. If anyone...

First off, I'm a revolver guy. Had them all my life. Finally broke down and traded a .44 for this new Rock Island .45. Serial number is RIA1106113. Barrel is 6" from hammer to exit. Clip holds 7. Knew I was taking a loss money wise but didn't care. The wife blows money all time so figured "why...

What revolver from any hollywood movie do you wish you had? I loved Clooney's .44 from Dusk Til Dawn. Anyone know the model?

So I took my new Ruger Super Alaskan ( .44 ) to the outdoor range and shot about 150 rounds. Enjoyed the time I had but kept expecting the recoil and power of my new toy to REALLY excite me. Unfortunately, with every shot I became less and less enthused. As much as I tried to stop thinking about...

Brought my S & W 629 into a well known area dealer/shooting range to see what they'd give me for my .44. The only reason I even took it out of the car to show was that they had a Ruger Alaskan I was interested in. Anyhow, he pulled out some book and showed me a price of $225 if my gun was in...

Just curious if any other states are as laid back on gun laws as beautiful South Carolina? Transporting a handgun? No problem. Must be unloaded with bullets in another location? I don't think so. Load your .44 magnum and throw it in the glove compartment! Welcome to 150 years ago. Gotta love SC!

Got a S & W 629-1, nickel plated 6 " barrel. Thinking of trading it for a taurus tracker that's 4". The tracker is new, the S & W is from 88' but in excellent shape. Matter of fact, there's a pic of it on here from a while ago. Anyhow, I really don't want to list my gun in the paper and have...

Thinking about selling my 629-1. In excellent shape with minimal wear considering the age. Jus wanted to know what some of you think would be a good price to list:

Bought my 13 year old a digital camera for his birthday. Figured I'd try it out on my toys first! Here's my S & W 629-1 and my Taurus 617:

Held a Ruger GP-100 for the first time. Don't know if some of you are like me but when I hold something I like, I find I want to buy it! The Ruger had the sweetest sounding trigger on it. The Tracker was nice as well (lighter) and $100 less. $375 for the Tracker and $475 for the Ruger. I know...

Local shop has as Astra .44 mag for $279. To me, $279 is great for ANY .44 mag. The gun is definitely not in the best shape finish-wise, but action is still fairly tight. Your thoughts?

Read the label on bright bore and rem oil while cleaning my 2 revolvers. Both say prolonged over exposure can cause brain damage. I mean, does this mean 10 cleanings? 100? Now, I'm not that naive to think it's going to mess me up just using it responsibly and not intentionally inhaling it. But I...

Local Shop has one for $600. I just bought a 629 for $400 and really don't need another .44 ( at least that's what my wife keeps telling me ) but I don't think an Anaconda will pass thru here again for a long time. Is that price right and is this gun that desirable as .44's go?

Wonder if this is a good load that will let my wife shoot with me without scaring her off. The shell is about 1/4 inch shorter than the magnum which i imagine produces a lot less recoil. However, it looks strange as can be inside the chamber as it sits back what looks like a 1/2 inch! Is that...
