My wife's Model 94AE in .357 has a bad habit of allowing live rounds to fall between the lever and the action during cycling, where they are very difficult to remove safely. Also, the safety seems not to work at all. My wife inherited the gun from my father-in-law who had an unfortunate...

I finally got my stepson out to the range with me --- it took some talking with his mom, but she agreed that when he turned 12, maybe it wouldn't be TOO dangerous :) . So, the Sunday after his birthday, we went on his first shooting trip. We took my 2 pistols ( a H&R .22 and a G33 --- yeah...

Anyone watch "First Monday" tonight? This has to be the first instance of strong pro-gun slant I've seen on a drama series in a while--the fictional Supreme Court strikes down a gun ban, and we get treated to a maudlin, but PRO-GUN flashback where we see a young Justice stop his aunt from being...

What's the difference between this and the regular .38 Super? I assume it can drive bullets faster than the Super, but not up to 9x23 Winchester levels? Does anyone make factory ammo, or is just the brass availible? Just a question born out of idle curiosity, thanks folks.

At what level do handgun wounds incorporate hydrostatic shock as a significant component? I think we can assume all cartridges are coming from a sub 10" barrel. I think this is an interesting question since typical handgun cartridges are not supposed to do much of this to flesh, while it seems...

I tried asking the question "at what level of power does 'pistol-level' stopping power become 'rifle-level' stopping power.' But this was way too vague, and most of the discussion was about the meaning of the question. So here's a new one : at what level is a pistol wound capable of having...

Enough with the handgun caliber wars. . . As some wise soul here posted "they're all vying for the role of "biggest pigmy" ." So I think we all agree that if you can get your hands on one, a rifle is a far superior "stopper" than a handgun. But many of today's high-intensity handgun loads...

I made my first "impulse" handgun buy right before Christmas -- a H&R 930 .22LR sitting in the gun shop's case on commission. What can I say -- the price was right and I've been needing a .22 for quite a while. The gun is pretty accurate, if a bit small for my hand, and the trigger pull is...

Does anyone here use these? They seem to be an attempt at a lower cost Glaser/MagSafe-type bullet. Anyone know of gelatin tests on them? Accuracy tests?

Howdy y'all! Just thought I'd give a try at starting a thread that will allow everyone's imaginations to run wild, and satisfy all my fellow sci-fi freaks on TFL. I know you are out there! It seems to me that firearms technology really hasn't changed significantly since the early 20th...

Has anyone tried the NY-1 trigger module on a Glock? Accoding to Ayoob(in some gun rag or another), it not only makes the trigger pull heavier, but it eliminates all that take-up before you hit real resistance during the pull. On the asthetic side, he says it gets rid of the annoying "sprong"...

I'm interested in getting a .45ACP revolver for home defence. I'd like something in a medium-to-heavy frame with a 3" to 5" barrel. I don't currently own a revolver, but of the ones I have fired I liked the GP-100 best. Any equivalent in .45? Any decent non-S&W .45ACP guns out there?

I cuurently own a G33 for CCW. I would like a full size .357Sig as a stablemate for it, preferably with 2-3 full capacity magazines. It will take me a while to save up my pennies, but I plan on getting it in the next 7-14 months. Here are the guns I'm considering: 1) G31 -- seems like the...

I have only one handgun at the moment, a Glock 33 that I got as a concealed carry gun when I owned a restaurant(lots of very liberal customers--couldn't have them see me carry a firearm, and I had a bad incident with one of our local Crips!!) after my first piece was stolen. (Unfortunately, I...
