OK, I hate to be the first to broach the topic, and I certainly hope they aren't necessary, but.. What do you think the odds are that manufacturers will make 7 round magazine models, and replacement magazines, for their NY customers? I'm really hoping that this provision and at least the...

OK, I feel sick. I have arthritis, have not shot my Browning x bolt in a couple of years. I distinctly remember wiping the gun down with Remoil and a rag before putting it away. When I took it out of it's case today (an expensive one that supposedly prevents rust) it had surface rust on the...

I love my Detective Special. I've had it back to Colt once, for a function check over. Works great. Problem? Someone covered it in some kind of do it yourself black gooey finish. Well, it's only gooey on the cylinder, and only then after I've shot 18-24 rounds or more. It needs a refinish. I'm...

I have a Sig P239 in 9 mm. I like it, but I don't. I've only fired it about 200 times. I'm pretty accurate with it in single action mode, but I haven't really been able to master the long first double action pull. I too frequently pull that off target. It also is small enough and light enough...

I live in upstate NY. That presents some interesting hunting situations. There are only a few counties that allow rifle hunting for deer. The reason given is the relatively dense population compared to most areas. We are now being over run with coyotes. We are allowed to hunt these, and some...

Some of you might remember that I posted a few weeks ago about getting a .38 special revolver for bullseye use. As luck would have it, the large taxidermy/bow hunting dealer near me finally got his FFL. I just wandered in out of curiousity, not even knowing that this went through. Not much...

I'm looking for opinions on a .38 special revolver for range/bullseye use. I recently put together the equipment for reloading, and would like to spend more time on the range. Looking for something not too heavy (I'm in terrible physical condition due to inflammatory arthritis) with a smooth...

I'm just getting interested in centerfire rifles. I've looked at reloading manuals, and various websites, catalogues, etc. The number of calibers is overwhelming, from .17 Remington to .375 H&H. Is there a good single source or book out there that explains what various cartridges were designed...

I know many on this board do not believe that the right to keep and bear arms should be infringed in any way. I almost agree with that, when it comes to keeping arms in your own home, in order to protect your safety there. I think carrying a weapon on your person, concealed, also means that you...

I am still looking for a range gun, have tossed around many options. I noted recently on the S&W homepage that new models of M&P line are now shipping. One of the new models in the M&P 9 Pro. It has a longer 5 inch barrel for a longer sight radius, and a pro shop tuned trigger of 4 to 5 lbs...

It just kind of struck me today. People on here spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars yearly for shooting. What is it that trips your trigger? The basic (and somewhat juvenile) joy of just watching something being destroyed? Having that wonderful punch of power in your hand? A great way...

I'm looking for a 9mm (cheap to shoot) for target/nightstand use. I already have a Sig p239. I like it a lot, but do have some difficulty with the da/sa switchover of the trigger pull. Part of that is due to my very serious inflammatory arthritis. The DA pull is pretty heavy some days. The...

has anyone checked out the Smith & Wesson 386 nightguard? I haven't seen one in person yet, but the size and weight intrigue me. It is reasonably lightweight, which should make it fairly easy to carry, holds seven rounds, and is big enough, and enough heavier than an airweight J frame that it...
