What exactly is the issue with people on this forum about polymer pistols? They may not be as sexy to look at in some peoples opinion but I sense its just an old boys complaint that heavier steel framed guns are being replaced. Good Polymer guns "and there are a lot of them" are just as...

There are a lot of options for the .40 135 140 155 165 180 200 For self defense, what is the best weight? For instance for .357, the 125 grain round is considered ideal. What is the ideal .40 cal version? Also, what is the most accurate? Using .357 again, 180 grain seems to be the most...

Bought 150 rounds for an advanced handgun course today in .40 cal and the whole time it looked like I was shooting a mini shot gun. There was the initial bullet hole yet all around it were irregular holes from fragments and at 3 yards there were noticable grey powder splashes on the target. Is...

I am in a currently in a police academy and have experience shooting pretty much every major firearm brand there is, from Glocks to Sigs to H&Ks to pretty much everything you can think of. Over a long period of time I have stayed away from M&Ps because I have pretty much heard that they are...

The 125 grain version. Even though they are dimensionally the same as other 357 magnums, they are more intimidating. I don't know if its the box they came in with the big Buffalo bore logo on it or the solid gold color, but they scare me. They seem to be filled to the top with powder too...

No, that is bad advice to anyone. Face it, colt pythons are just collector items for those with the extra cash. Since they aren't made anymore and they are becoming more and more limited, while the old gun smiths are aging, its stupid to buy a python unless you know how to work on it yourself...

Well to me its strange look at the .357s, all but 1 are snubbies and the snubbies are described as home protection guns while the 4 inch is described as a "target" gun. http://www.charterfirearms.com/products/Charter_Firearms_products.html Now I can understand a snubbie for CCW but besides...

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e8c_1262402454 Now thats just wrong. Now I can understand checking it out if you saw the weapon, but this power tripping deputy went way to far.

It's a 686 I wanted to thoroughly clean my gun and figured out myself "because I didn't have a manual" how to take out the hammer, trigger, trigger spring etc... Every single little piece in there I took out, even the firing pin and the little spring in there. After hours of trying to put it...

I just saw this movie and was quite pleased with it as a western. I haven't seen a good western in a long time, but anyway they seemed to have made an effort to make the gun battles realistic. The way firearms were handled and sounded definitely wasn't typical hollowood cliche. Does anyone...

If you don't have the little thingymajig that gun smiths use to do it is there another way? I refuse to believe that one has to send their gun in the mail for weeks on end just to have some schmuck take a little tool to the gap and figure out what it is. I know a credit card is .0200 inches...

I love hearing this from naive fools. I found out my brother in law "who is a grown man obviously" was shooting his .22 in my garage at a pile of wood while I was at work. I got really angry and told him what a stupid thing that was to do, and if he wants to shoot he needs to go to the range...

I have seen the method where one takes out a spring inside the gun and puts another one in but why do that instead of just loosening up the screw at the bottom of the pistol grip? I always thought my 686's double action pull was a tad bit on the heavy side, so with a couple turns I made it much...

Anyone else have problems with this gun? It took me 2 hours to figure this thing out and in the process the bolt pinched me several times and I got some of those underskin bleed. Ughh. My first Ruger gun and I am not pleased. I shot it at the range and it jamed too, but I think "I hope" its...

Ok, I have been looking for a local gunsmith to tune my Smith and wesson 686 because I don't want to wait 12 weeks for Smith and Wesson to do it. I have visted 12 gunsmiths and I got the impression that they didn't want my business. It's always a yes or no answer to my questions with no desire...

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7b8_1260318530 Owning firearms is almost like a religion to them. As far as I understand, the government REQUIRES civilians to own a rifle. They get to keep their rifles from military service and ammo is supplied for FREE whenever they go to the range. I like...

It isn't on the box and doesn't seem to be on the internet. It's always 158 grain JHPs and the first time I bought this ammo at Academy it felt somewhat mild, kind of like the Magtech brands, but yesterday, it felt very hot. It felt like I was shooting 158 grain bullets at 1500ish feet per...

Bah I can't embed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leaZpGraE60&feature=player_embedded But thought it was worth a show.

Does anyone know if these numbers are for real or are they exaggerated? This is way more powerful than most other brands I am familiar with, seems to good to be true. http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=10&products_id=338...
