    Looking for a new 22cal handgun.

    Now that I've been able to stock pile some 22 ammo again, I have been thinking about a 2nd 22cal handgun for range and maybe some steel or bowling pin shooting. I have a plain jane Ruger mk3 with a Burris dot on it. I have an xtra Burris I will probably put on it. I'm really kinda wide open...

    Short reach trigger and reset kit install

    This might be old news to most of you. I installed trigger and SRT kit in my p226 today. Only trouble was getting trigger bar in and out of the gun and getting the locking block back in. Arthritic fingers don't help when doing stuff like that. I saw a youtube video where the guy used a small...

    Anybody else just not like stainless pistols?

    I like nickel on revolvers, not so much on autos. Love a nice hot blue finish.

    Is it a good idea to "Announce" to the world that you love guns and are carrying one?

    Giving up a tactical advantage? LOL Give me a break. Never been a big bumper sticker guy. In fact I just put my 1st one ever on my pick up. "Blue Lives Matter". Have always had a NRA decal in the window. Clothes? Yeah some. NRA hat, another that has name of my gun club. Some snarky/funny gun...

    Terror threat change anything for you?

    Has anyone thought about changing carry weapons with the terrorist threat creeping up in the news? I've considered switching from my usual single stack carry gun to a double stack for more capacity. Also thinking more about a 2nd mag. Anymore I hate lugging extra stuff. I've always felt...

    Least Snappy Choices in .40?

    I'll second the S&W 4006. Maybe it's me, but I find the federal bulk ammo to recoil more than say, Tula or Remington.

    Not a Glock fan but......G42

    Well, maybe a little. I've shot my share of Glocks. From Gen 2's To a Gen 4. I just never warmed up to any of them. I'm also not a fan of most of the .380 guns. Too small, lousy triggers and crappy sights. Picked up a LNIB Glock 42 last Saturday after shooting one about a month ago. I figured...

    Range Report, SA RO 9mm

    Picked up a NIB SA Range Officer to go with the .45 version. My local GS had one about a month ago. It sold before I could go back for it. Low and behold I walked in 2 weeks ago to buy some bullets and Dave says, ''hey, I have something here that might interest you.'' {ha ha} I handed him 100...

    What auto occupies your nightstand?

    Nothing on my side. Wife has a M&P9 in hers....lol. Then there's always ''Cody''. Good luck convincing him you belong there.

    School me on 32acp handguns

    I swore I'd never consider any caliber smaller than 9mm. My father left me a Beretta Tomcat which I saw no use for. I might have been hasty in selling it. I find the features on the Tomcat appealing in retrospect. Now I'm thinking something I can throw in my pocket when I take the dog for a...

    Looking for another 1911

    I'm in the mood to buy another 1911 in 9mm or 45acp. I'd consider a .40, but I know there have been issues with 1911s' and the 40 cartridge. Besides, I have tons of .45 mags and a bunch from a 9mm I owned. I think this one needs to be a commander size and thinking stainless since I might...

    handgun reflex reddot?

    I just picked up a nice slightly used Ruger MKIII target. I'm looking for a reddot optic sight for steel shooting. This will be my first reddot purchase. I have to say, I have a splitting headache from doing research. The choices are overwhelming me. I'm leaning towards a reflex due to size and...

    I'm a bit baffled.

    I've been in the market for a 28ga sporter O\U. I'm patient looking for a fair\good deal. I finally found what I'm looking for, but I'm having trouble getting the seller to commit to a time and place to do the transfer. His first response to my posting, ''I take it", was, ''I really hate to...

    Am I being unreasonable?

    Maybe I'm just getting crotchety in my older years. In fact I know I get PO'ed at a lot of things that never would have bothered me years ago. Anyway I have been looking for a nice gently used O\U shotgun for a couple months now. I found one on March 30th on another gun forum from a private...

    M&P pro series vs XDm 5.25

    I'm thinking about one of these 2 polymer comp guns. I had a M&P pro and for some stupid reason, sold it. I've also shot the 5.25. Only a couple mags though. I liked it. I have a line on a pro series for a good price. I know I'm going to pay more for the XDm. Not a big deal. Maybe some of you...

    How often do you shoot your EDC?

    I find myself shooting my EDC gun less and less. I shoot a fair amount of handgun, just not that one. I shot it quite a bit when I first bought it, and always feel comfortable when I do shoot it. With our range rules there's only so much I can do anyway. Besides, I have other handguns that are...
