I found a shell at the range that has me curious. The mouth diameter is .308 and it has a big rim. Any ideas?

Hello, I am looking for suggestions for rubber grips that wrap all the way around my S&W 329pd. I ordered a pair of the x500 grips, but they are defective and I am put off by S&W grips over this hassle of having to send them back. Can anyone suggest, from personal experience a different...

After much looking, much fretting in the dark (I have never owned a revolver), and tons of internet board advice, I picked out my backwoods carry piece: S&W 329pd . I have already put a box of .44 special through it. After that I put 6 rounds of .44 magnum. The specials were a joy, but...

I am looking for a gun which will ONLY be used for back-country (yes, grizzly country) duty. I have others for CCW. At the gun shop I saw the Ruger listed for $800, new. The Smith was used, pre-lock and with a tapered barrel, I believe it was called 'mountain gun.' It was listed at $517. I...

Here is the deal. I live in Idaho, and am going to Alaska. I want to take a bear gun, but don't have one. I can afford one no problem, but it is also probable that I could borrow my Dad's gun (S&W 629 .44 mag) for the trip. I would rather borrow his as I am not a big revolver guy. He...

I am an Idaho resident, with a ccw. In July I will be traveling to AK for some adventures, and am wondering about taking my revolver with me. Does anyone know, or know where to look to find, about taking a handgun up there? How to get it on the plane? Thanks.

Does anyone know who invented the beavertail? Was it for a 1911 (seems obvious, but who knows?) or another pistol? Just curious.

I searched but didn't find where this has been posted before. You can click the boxes to uncover the frame and slide and other parts to see the workings. I am turning into a 1911 nut, slowly but surely. (Sorry SIG, I still love you too.:o) http://www.m1911.org/loader.swf

I had a strange vision appear in my minds eye the other day. I am not even sure I would like it, but I pictured my p226 with chrome: trigger, hammer, slide-stop, take-down lever, mag release, and de-cocker. Right now the gun is all black nitro. Has anyone seen something like this? Pics...

I have an sks that I took out shooting for the first time today. The first magazine (using the 10 round internal) ran fine, but the next magazine jammed after nearly every round: stovepipes mostly. I kept clearing the trouble, then letting the bolt load a round. When there was about 3 rounds...

As I announced in another post, I picked up a NIB Desert Warrior a few days ago for $600, a deal I couldn't, in good conscience, pass by. I have never shot a 1911 before, and I had been deliberating for some time before deciding I wanted to see what all of the hubub was about. So I took the...

O.k., so I am looking... I am ready to drink the 1911 kool-aid.:o Ed brown special forces or Kimber SIS. Can someone WHO KNOWS compare/contrast these two guns? I know all about the factor of 2 in the cost. That is one way they are different. So I am wanting to know in what other ways they...

I went to the range a few days ago and man, did I see an accident waiting to happen. A guy sat on the bench next to me and pulled out a Wilson Combat .45. We got to talking before he had fired a single round, and I asked him if I could examine his weapon. They guy checked to see if the pistol...

I am wondering if anyone has a RRA .45 and if so will they post some pics and a review? Thanks.

It is old, but kinda interesting. This is an old revolver: I have no idea if it is worth anything, and I definitely don't want to fire it, but I thought someone else might enjoy the pic. Thanks for the tip, fisherman66. I will look into it.

I do not have one, but I am thinking about getting the pt1911. The 'billboard signs' on the slide have put me off so far. Here is the question: I see that many prefer to carry condition 1. For those of you that do, have you ever taken your weapon off at the end of the day and found the...

Can anyone identify the top gun in this picture? I think the right hand one is a 1911 and the bottom one looks like an XD (correct me if I'm way wrong.)...
