    686+ Grips Interfering with Speedloader - Advice?

    They're the ones that came on it, yeah. This one: http://world.guns.ru/handguns/SW686.JPG I can't get a 100% success rate of the rounds falling free from the loader into the cylinder, and if one gets hung up inside, I can't pull the loader straight back, due to the grip being there...

    686+ Grips Interfering with Speedloader - Advice?

    I have a S&W 686+, and I recently obtained some HKS 7-shot speedloaders for it. When I try to use one to reload the revolver, however, it gets hung up on the left side of the factory rubber grip. I can push it past, release the cartridges and remove the loader, but it's a clumsy, slow...

    Suitable Shoulder Holster for S&W 686 Plus?

    I'm in the market for a decent shoulder holster for a S&W 686+ with a 4" barrel. I've been poking around online and learning a little here and there, but not enough to really make a confident decision. Having never carried in a shoulder rig before, I'm not sure what to look for. Any advice...

    .357 Single-Action Recommendations?

    Much obliged for the speedy and useful feedback, Blackhawk looks to be the favorite, I'll check them out next time I'm at the shop. I was eyeballing the Vaquero last time. Handsome piece. Every time I stand in front of that case, I think about buying lottery tickets.

    .357 Single-Action Recommendations?

    I've been looking into getting myself a .357 single-action revolver. Naturally, I wanted the one that's laser-beam accurate, perfectly reliable, irresistably stylish and costs forty-seven cents, but when I couldn't find that gun, I thought I'd get some advice. What's a good SA revolver out...

    Mossberg 500A "Persuader" Barrel size?

    All good advice. Thanks, guys. I'll swing by Gander Mountain tomorrow, and check to see if they have the parts I need. Failing that, I guess I'll check out the websites you mentioned. Edit: Situation resolved. I now have two shotguns, one for birds and one for zombies. Thanks again for...

    Mossberg 500A "Persuader" Barrel size?

    Okay, looks like I'll have to get a 5-shot receiver sans barrel that I can attach this thing to. Thanks for the reply. Any advice on finding the receiver? I see one on Gun Broker, but I kind of hate online auctions. I'll ask around at local gun dealers.

    Who's seen or had a broken Mossberg 500?

    My neighbor inherited a very nice 500 from about 1972. It was very clean and well-maintained, and had been in storage for several years. He shot some clays (I missed mine) with it, and then the forend came loose from the slide. ON inspection, it was revealed that s couple of spot welds had...

    Shotgun as only HD weapon?

    I have no experience with firing shotguns in homes, or anyplace other than outdoor ranges, but I read someplace that the concussion of a shotgun blast indoors is disorienting and/or debilitating to the user as well as the intended target. If there's any credence to that old wives' tale, it...

    Mossberg 500A "Persuader" Barrel size?

    Merry Christmas, THR! I'm sure this question's been answered before, but the Search feature's giving me trouble, so I'll start a thread. Two parts: Superfluous Backstory and Question: Superfluous Backstory: I have a Mossberg 500A that was identified as a "Persuader" when I bought it...

    NPR program 'On Point' covers accessibility of guns

    They had rifles in 1776? I don't know about them just wanting my guns and nothing more. Banning guns isn't an end in and of itself, it must be a means to some other goal of theirs. Rather than just getting my hate on and doing battle with them at every turn, I think it's a good idea to...

    GUN SUIT TARGETS NYC COMMISH

    Looks like that guy sold a gun under the table. If his clients' licenses were revoked because of his crime, they should be returned, but he should definitely be in trouble. Wait, a misdemeanor? "Delivering"? I don't think we're getting the whole story here.

    what lights do you carry?

    SureFire 6P pretty much all the time. It's a little clunky in a pants pocket, and my coat has a little wear mark where the bezel rests inside the pocket, but I'm never afraid of the dark, and it's good for chasing tomcats away from our little pet door.

    Euphemisms for a Shotgun?

    I just purchased my first shotgun, and have been amusing myself by trying to refer to it differently each time I mention it in conversation. Unfortunately, I'm more gregarious than innovative, and am running out of clever things to call it. So I'm putting out the call for funny and/or...

    Concealed Carry in PA?

    While we're on the topic, what is the authority of a business owner to restrict firearms possession on the grounds of his business? For instance, there's a "No Firearms" sign on the door of the dollar movie theater in Erie. If a licensed individual is discovered to be carrying concealed there...
