    How is the ruger lcr being carried?

    I am somewhat more than interested in purchasing a NIB Ruger LCR but I want to see how those who have already purchased this little revolver are carrying it. IWB, OWB, or pocket or whatever? I would appreciate particuarly hearing from those who are now carrying the LCR but any and all are sure...

    First Time Ruger Sr9 Experience.

    Just for the heck of it I bought an OD Green SR9 yesterday. I just got back from the range and I thought I would review my experience. For the record, I am 71 years old and have a 71 year old set of eyes so deadeye marksmanship is, for me, not a major concern. I was accompanied to the range with...

    Comp-Tac Two O'Clock Holster

    In my eternal quest for just the right concealed carry setup I have been using a Two O'Clock IWB carry position more and more. I find it to be comfortable, secure, and that it allows for easy access and draw. So, I was quite intrigued when I say Comp-Tac's advertisement for its new IWB...

    Problems with lock on S&W 329!

    Earlier today my son-in-law and I were shooting some of my reloads and his S&W 329 just froze. We examined it and found that the lock mechanism had engaged. Used the lock key and turned it off but, after a few more rounds, it happened again. The reloads were quite mild and the 329 has no more...

    Ruger M77 Frontier Rifle?

    I am intrigued by the new Ruger M77 Frontier rifle which is, for all intents and purposes, Ruger's version of the "Scout"rifle with a forward mounted scope.

    Rugers stronger built - an article of faith! Why?

    I've just finished reading my umptyumpth thread in which the posters all aver that, indeed, the Ruger handgun is, without doubt, better built/stronger than any of its contemporary competetitors; Smith and Wesson, Taurus, Rossi, etc. Phrases such as "built like a tank", "built like a brick...

    What do you expect from a craftsman?

    I just got off the phone with a craftsman from whom I ordered a holster some weeks ago. I am somewhat "steamed" and want to ask all of you some questions about your expectations of internet craftsman, in this case a holster maker. Although I am irritated I am going to some lengths here to be...

    My experience with the Ruger Alaskan!

    I bought a NIB Ruger Alaskan today in 454/45 although I just really don't know why. I'm 69 years old and, here in western Oregon, we just don't seem to have much of a problem with surprise attacks by Grizzlies. Do have a couple of recalcitrant racoons that raid dogf ood off the deck at night...

    Impressions of the Maxpedition Jumbo Fatboy Versipack!

    Not long ago I became interested in Maxpedition products and did some research on them. The concensus seemed to be that they were well made, quality products. Also, not long ago, Maxpedition came out with a new product, the Jumbo Fatboy Versipack, which was their first effort at producing a...

    Porting for a TiScan revolver - anybody done it?

    I noticed that Mag-na-port offers a porting option for S&W TiScan revolvers http://www.magnaport.com/misc.html. I have a couple of these and, at times, the recoil can be severe. I sure would like to hear from anybody who has done this and how it turned out. Also interested in opinions about...

    S & W 500 grips on a 386

    Probably old stuff to many of you :cool: I just put the grips from a S & W 500 magnum on my 386 TiScan and it sure changes the characteristics of the gun a whole bunch :D Some good news and some bad news I think. First, the good news. A lot of folks feel the recoil from the TiScans is way...

    Model 60 beauty pics please!

    I recently purchased a NIB S&W Model 60 with a 3" barrel. Shoots really good and I am currently using it as my CCW. But, it sure is "plain Jane" and I am wondering what others have done to "gussy up" their Model 60's. Need some great ideas as to how to go and sure would appreciate some...

    Hard cast vs. Jacketed bullets?

    Although I have loaded for rifle for some years I am new to loading for handguns. I know almost nothing about hard cast bullet reloading. If I am loading for a 240 grain hard cast bullet is the power data in a reloading manual for a jacketed bullet of the same weight accurate? Or, at least...

    "44 Magnum Lite"?

    I know that a 44 magnum is chambered both for magnum loads and for 44 Special loads. But, are there intermediate loads that are more powerful than the 44 Special load but less powerful than a full bore 44 magnum load? Hence the sobriquet "44 magnum lite"! Or, if one prefers 44 Special +P...
