All other things being equal, which do you think would be a better defensive round and why? 45ACP 185grain moving 1000fps or 230grain moving 800fps Same question goes for any caliber. Which has better all around stopping power? tstr

Has anyone tried RCBS' Piggyback III conversion? Does it work pretty well for the price? And, where do you find them? I'm not seeing anyplace I can order one. tstr

Tight budget means that one of my guns is going to have to go.:( Ive got a Beretta Cougar chambered for the .357sig. The gun is in near new condition and it has a brand new factory barrel in it. I have two magazines and all the original packaging and documentation. First question is, how...

Okay all you guys who have been asking what kind of gun to get your wife. Here you go. http://web.tiscali.it/ladiesweapons/weapons.html Okay, time to fess up here. *I* want the pink Beretta for myself. I'm not gay, honest!!! It's just that she reminds me of Ginger from Gilligan's Island...

I've been working on getting my reloaded practice ammo to match point of aim with my defense ammo. So far I've not had satisfactory success, but I'll get it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here reloads to match a factory ammo. What do you use for defense, and what practice loads work...

I have an old High Standard .22lr pistol that I want to use for target shooting. I picked up a box of cheepy .22 ammo and the group size was 6 inches at 50 feet. I know the gun can do better than that. So does anyone have suggestions for a good brand of .22 target ammo? tstr

I need load data for 444Marlin. Hornandy 300g XTP Reloader 7 powder Anyone have those numbers? thanks tstr

I just started using CLP because of the good recomendations here on TFL. But dog gone if it doesn't leave my gun just sloppy with oil. It's dripping out of the pores. How do you guys deal with that? I mean, every cleaning manual I've ever read says keep the oil coating light. Don

Anybody have any experience with shooting both the Taurus PT 92 and the Beretta 92? I'm told they're basically the same gun and am curious how similar they really are. tstr

Ok, I've determined after reading several different posts that Break Free CLP is the best lubricant protectant. Now the question is what is the best cleaning solvent? I get heavy fouling in my .45 and it takes a lot of work to get the bore to shine. Tstr

I've got a sig-sauer P220 and I want another mag for it. I tried Pro-Mag and none of the three magazines I got from them fed reliably. They all had to be modified to make them even work in the first place, and then one of them actually split open. Mec-Gar has apparently stopped selling them...

There is no government in Afghanistan. Almost nobody recognizes the taliban as the legitimate government, including the Afghanis themselves. Therefore attacking Afghanistan and her people as a country is practically unjustifiable. Our war is against terrorists. And terrorists have taken...

I'm looking at buying a 10/22 from a friend and was wondering what a fair price would be. It is not a magnum. It is about 15 years old. The barrel is lightly rusted and in need of bluing. The rifling is in good condition. What would you consider a fair (not necessarily a bargain) price? Tstr

I've got a .44 mag Winchester 296 and a box of Hornady 300 grain XTP. The 300g XTPs have 2 cannalures. Does anybody have load data for seating the bullet to the lower cannalure? My books give load data for the upper cannalure, but my Redhawk will fit the longer bullet and I'd like to know...

I have Alliant Reloader 7 powder and Hornady 300g XTP bullets and I want to put them together to make 444Marlin ammo. Problem is I've looked in all my load manuals and I've checked the online Alliant Powder manual. I can't find load data for this anywhere. Anyone have a Hornandy manual...

I cleaned my Beretta .357sig and noticed bad pitting in the barrel. What happened? The gun is fairly new and I've fired probably a total of 600 rounds through it so far. It get's cleaned about every 100 rounds. This is the first time I've inspected the barrel with a fiber optic light so I...

Has anyone noticed problematic fouling using Montana Gold bullets? It took me a lot of work to clean up my .45 tonight, as if I'd been shooting soft led. But I've been using Montana Gold. tstr

Can copper wire brushes really damage a barrel? Is there something better that should be used? tstr

I've got a NAA mini .22short. I ran a standard hoppes copper cleaning brush through the barrel a few times with their heavy solvent. When I looked inside the barrel, the whole thing looked not scratched, but litterally gouged centripitally all up and down the barrel. Is the mettal of those...
