Howdy - I just picked up a S&W 29-3 44mag. It's set up with a Leupold 2X scope and my very first shot with it at 7 yards was a dead center. The gun is accurate, set up perfectly and ready to shoot. I picked this up as a much "needed" hunting hand gun. Whitetails and maybe a hog or...

Hello TFL, I recently bought a 1961 blued 4" Python. Accurate, wonderful trigger, solid as hell. Its everything a Python was reputed to be. The finish shows some wear, the pattern suggests a gun that was often holstered. A possible police gun I think. All that said, a friend wants to...

Sooooo, had my new model Colt Cobra out over the weekend. Was teaching a couple of people to shoot and brought the Cobra as an example of a small concealable revolver. I've shot this gun many times mind you without a hiccup but on Saturday there were light strikes and initially I blamed it...

Hey fellows - I've got a small heard of Colts and was looking to add a Gen 1 Cobra to round out my Cobra collection. Have an opportunity to buy a 3" barreled Cobra in pretty decent shape. Believe it was produced in 1970. Not really familiar with the 3" models and there doesn't seem to be...

I picked up a Camp Guard last week and took it to the range for the first time today. To be honest, I've read way too much about them being unreliable but thought some of it was likely internet fodder so I took chance and bought my first Kimber despite being a Springfield and Colt 1911 guy...

Hey Firing Line... I sold my brother in law my Glock 22, never had so much as a FTF or FTE out of it. Today at the range shooting Remington White Box, he had 10 failure to fires out of a box of 50. The primers looked like they were well struck but failed to ignite. If it were one or...

Hey fellows, Need to buy a new cleaning kit and wondered if there are some better options out there than than the typical Wally World Bass Pro cheapy plastic things. This kit needs to cover .22lr to 45-70 to 12ga and everything in between. It will see a lot of use. What are some...

Good morning TFL. My buddy and I were talking this weekend about old guns and I mentioned that I occasionally carry my Colt 1908 Vest Pocket product ed in 1919. The gun itself is in very good shape, 95% blueing with all the case hardening intact. The gun is beautiful, accurate and fun...

I just bought a S&W M&P Compact in .40. Don't have it yet but will in a couple of days. Anyway, up next is finding a good day holster. I'm an owb leather guy but was thinking about try some type of kydex. The gun is a police trade in so it won't be 100% and I figured this would be a...

I recently picked up an OM Ruger Vaquero from a buddy and of course needed a holster for camping, hiking and hunting. After looking around a bit, I ordered a Simply Rugged Pancake. Order turn around time was stated as 2 to 3 weeks. Ordered on 2/28 and I got it today, 3/14. That is...

Hi guys. I just bought a nice lightly used Ruger Vaquero .44 mag. The gun was made in 1998 and is the larger framed version verses the current model New Vaquero. I haven't found a whole lot of holster options for it yet and wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. This will be...

Hey guys, my buddy and I are thinking about a West Texas hog hunt. I've never hunted hog or hunted in Texas so we plan on using an outfitter / guide. A quick google only turned up 1000 or so hunting ranches so I figured I would check with you guys and see if you had any experience or...

Hey guys, Taking a two state road trip next week. Leaving early, returning late over a two day time frame. Per the usual, I am taking my CCW and of course will be legal during my travel. This time however, I'd like to up my tools and take a spare mag, flashlight and a large knife with...

Hi guys. I have recently really gotten into trap, 5 stand and sporting clays and shoot between 50 and 150 rounds per week. I'd like to start reloading and an trying figure out single or progressive, MEC or something else? I'm leaning towards a single since I've never reloaded before but...

I just ordered a service grade M-1 Springfield through the CMP. Quoted wait time is some place between 120 days to 180 days. Just curious if any one has ordered one lately and what your actual wait time was. As far as the M-1, I recently joined a new gun club and once I realized they...

My buddy has a LC9 that will not hold the magazine in place. Typically at the range it was falling out every couple of shots. After looking at it for him I found that just by moving the mag in the gun that it would come free without any effort. At that point, I told him to contact Ruger...

Just wanted to share my story from last weekend. I've been taking a new hunter out the last two deer seasons and until this past weekend, he had never taken a shot at a deer. About 8am I heard his rifle report and via text he confirmed he shot but did not think he hit the deer. I told...

I was reading a transcript from a speech given by Wayne LaPierre and in it, he mentioned that Mexico has voted to ask for a US gun registry system and would also like access to that data for every gun owner in the four US / Mexico border states. While I can find references to this on line...

I need some suggestions and opinions. Short version of the story is my buddy is getting his CCW and is now in need of CCW gun. He does not have a ton of spare cash but would like to find a reliable gun in 9mm or .380 and has mentioned Bersa. He would like to spend around $300 if...

Morning guys. My buddy has a offer on a Colt .25 ACP. Not sure of the model, but it looks like 1908 Vest or Junior model. I'm not expert on Colt so forgive me if those aren't the correct names. I'm at work so cant dig in to it too deep. Anyway, the serial number is 0D103XXX...
