    We all have favorites

    Mine would be pretty much anything N Frame. Would love to land a Model 25 in .45Colt in either 4" or 5" barrel, if they even made a 5".

    Tell me why I shouldn’t get a Browning BLR in .308.

    I'll be darned if I know.😂

    45-70 Factory Ammo Question

    I used to hunt with an original Trapdoor carbine, 1879 vintage. It worked fine with the factory Remington 405 gr. load. Took my first and only bear with it in 1980.

    Ankle Holster

    For a seated draw I have always been partial to a crossdraw or a shoulder rig if I'm wearing a suit or some kind of jacket. For me, much faster than an ankle rig

    How can I remove an invector plus choke that won’t budge? Tried a lot of tool but still no deal. Any solvent ideas that could help? Need a miracle .

    The best product I have ever used is called Krax-it. It is made by Hapco. I recently used it on an inline breechplug that has been stuck for several years. Sprayed it, let it sit for a while, sprayed it again and let it sit overnight. It turned right out the next day.

    Shield 45 or XDs 45

    I own an XDs in 45 and it has been rock solid. I also own a Shields in .40, it has also been rock solid. Between the two, I give a slight edge in favor of the XDs, it feels slightly better in my hand and I have a bias towards .45acp. If you can, try to shoot both before you buy, choose what...

    38-55 question

    When buying factory ammo, do your homework. 38-55 requires a .377 diameter bullet. Many of the ammunition makers use .375 as it also works in the .375 Winchester. Older Winchester ammo was made with .377.

    629: reduced power main spring or not

    I've had good luck with reduced piwer spring kits from both Wollf and Apex. Wollf springs in a Model 29-6 and Apex springs in a Model 36 and a 638. Never had an issue using any factory ammo in any of them. The 638 is my normal carry pistol. You will also want to change the trigger return spring...

    New user - identification of old caplock

    I have a 70's built flintlock, builder is unknown, but the barrel maker's name is on the underside of the barrel. You may have to dis-assemble from the stock and look there.

    so called cowboy "assault rifles"

    I enjoy my lever guns for what they are, and "tacti-cool" isn't part of it. To each their own,but it would be like putting mag wheels and wide tires on a bone stock Model T.

    If you could only have 5 handguns?

    1911 in .45acp Ruger MarkIV .22 A 9mm Glock S&W 686 .357 Magnum S&W M9del 29 44 Magnum I think that would cover most anything.

    Trifocals for shooting open sights?

    I wear progressives and they work well for me. When I get fitted and a prescription I tell them I am a shooter and the "middle" of the lenses need to be good for seeing the sights on a handgun or rifle. They always usher me to a back office when I go to pick my glasses up. I have a CPL and bring...
