Many thanks for all the input, folks. Based on that input, I've narrowed it down to two options: Option A: Ruger Target 1262. http://www.ruger.com/products/1022Target/specSheets/1262.html Get it, see how the trigger is, go from there. I like the stock and, though there are mixed reports...

Thanks for all the input, folks--really appreciate the reasoned responses. I just mentioned having AR parts since it could be a factor in making someone say it was more expensive/annoying to build up an AR-platform than the 10/22. Sounds like the path forward is 10/22. Question--I've handled...

All, Looking to add a semi-auto .22LR rifle to my stable. I have a bolt-action .22LR rifle (Savage MKII-BTVS) that is incredibly accurate, but I have a SiCo Sparrow waiting in NFA jail and want a fun plinking semi-auto. I'm willing to spend up to $900 or so. Yes, I know that's WAY more...

As a shooter of both the 30-06 (Tikka T3 Lite) and the .270 (Winchester Extreme Weather), I don't really have a dog in this fight. I'm typically more of a lurker than a poster, but I did want to point something out here. If you're going to go with a dramatically light-for-caliber round like...

If we have the option of ANY gun in the calibers mentioned, the field gets pretty wide-open, though, right? An HK45 (or the USP) is my preference over a glock; I'm sure sigman probably would prefer a P220 if he wanted something non-glock. And with all due reverence to the cult of the 1911...

I'd vote for the .45. The platform is pretty mature in both cases, but ammo to feed the .45 is more available and will do anything for your stated purposes that the 10mm will do. Outside of a woods gun, the 10mm advantage is pretty much zero. MAYBE you can get 100 ft-lbs more out of it, but...

Anybody had any problems with tarnishing of the finish on the cylinder of their M&P from a nemesis holster? Mine developed some nasty rust-colored spots on the fluting and then the whole cylinder itself. S&W repaired it (quickly and efficiently), but I'm a little spooked now on the...

M&P340CT--though the CT designation just means it came with the crimson trace grips. Scandium frame, steel cylinder. So you think the finish oxidized? No way it should have happened that fast, right? Think spraying some silicon gun preservative on the inside of the nemesis would help the issue?

So I had to send in my (basically brand new) M&P340 due to some nasty-looking discoloration on the cylinder. Looked like little flecks of rust. It was rust-colored, anyway. Whatever the case, I called Smith & Wesson customer service two weeks ago last monday (so Nov. 16). I had a FEDEX...

Guys--Thread is from 2007. If OP hasn't made his decision by now...

How about some .44 special? Gold dots from Double Tap give you around 500 ft-lbs: http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_65&products_id=246

I mean, we're talking about a gun that's supposed to be saving your life here--a guide gun in 45-70 is $520 or so. $300 for a Remington 870 pump, right? Marlin's are generally really reliable, and most people seem to think the guide guns are pretty light. Points to the shotty for...

I know that the prevailing wisdom is that a 12 gauge slug is the best bear defense possible, but could someone make the argument based upon ballistics and bullet profile for the slug being so fantastically preferable to--say--a marlin guide gun in 45-70? Here's why I say it's not... Near as I...

How about a S&W 460? You can get'em in the 460V (5") or the 460ES (snubbie--talk about painful to shoot) for carry. You have three (technically four, counting the 45 Schofield) choices of ammo in the 460, 454, or 45LC. You can go from loadings as high as 2800ft-lbs from buffalo bore in the...

re: M&P340 vs 340PD price delta I think the actual retail price between the two isn't going to be south of $100. Buds has the M&P340CT for a little over $900 ($901--non CT version of the M&P is listed as $701 but out of stock), and it has the 340PD without the CTs for $780 or so. You can...

Having recently debated between these exact choices (well, 4 choices--M&P 340, 442, SP-101, and LCR), I came down on the side of the M&P with the CT grips. I fired all four at the range, 50 rounds each, 25 .38s and 25 .357s (Short Barrel, low flash) for the revolvers that do double duty...
