    Small Auto or Revolver Suggestions for Petite Wife

    I found that Taurus makes the model 617 with a concealed hammer, short barrel in .357 with a 7 Shot Capcity! Cool.

    Small Auto or Revolver Suggestions for Petite Wife

    Sorry, I've never even checked this subforum since I joined years ago so I wouldn't have seen past threads. After some more thought and research, I'm thinking a 2 1/8" barrel (would also allow CCW) DAO, hammerless revolver in .357 that I can load .38 special for her to use, .357 for me to...

    Small Auto or Revolver Suggestions for Petite Wife

    My wife needs a pistol for home defense. She has shot my 9mm autos a few times but doesn't really enjoy shooting...yet! As we have more kids, she increasingly wants something to defend herself and wants to try shooting again. Problem is she is very petite, 5'2" and about 105 lbs. She has...

    Such thing as an AR-10 Pistol?

    Never seen an AR10 pistol. But Vector made a 10" barrel HK51 pistol that would be even better and only costs around $950.

    If you could only have 1 9mm

    If I could only have one 9mm pistol for everything, it would either be a CZ P-01 with a manual safety (they are only made with a decocker) or a Smith & Wesson M&P Compact. Both are medium size, medium capacity, very reliable, rail for light, small enough for CCW and decent enough for...

    Razorback Range Report @ the Lake w/ pics and vid DIAL UP WARNING

    not a good idea and not good PR for shooters to place your targets on a tree. You couldn't find a small dirt mound or other backstop? Nice pistol though.

    poll: POLYMER Kahrs

    I bought lucky PM9 a few years ago for $400. It was dirty when I bought it but it has been 100% in close to 500 rounds over the years with varied FMJ and hp ammo. After buying it, I ran several hundred rounds through it without cleaning or lubing it first and it never missed a beat. That...

    Today is the day. Quick make me decide!

    I'm a huge CZ fan (shoot an SP-01 in competition), but I recently sold my RAMI to get a S&W M&P9 Compact. While the RAMI is a great gun, it is oddly shaped for carry. The finger rest is not a finger rest and falls in between my fingers. It is about the same size at the M&Pc but the M&P holds 2...

    SCAR L/H news directly from FN USA

    The SA-80's problems were not due to the gas piston. From what I've read, it was due to the rifles being manufactured in 3 different molds or casts and only 1 of the 3 molds would allow for a fully reliable SA-80, no parts interchange between production runs. The other 66% had to be fixed by H...

    What do you guys recommend for a 9mm self defense round?

    I buy and carry the Remington/UMC 115 gr. hp 100 pack from Wal-Mart, they are currently $23/100 or just $4 more than WWB fmj. This allows me to run a bunch through my carry guns to ensure that they are reliable and they are always easy to pick up. I have done my own ballistics testing with...

    Another, serious 9mm ammo question

    I've shot tons of 115, 124, 125, 127 and 147 9mm hp's and the only problem I ever had feeding was with 147 gr. hp's going into an Uzi. The Uzi just wouldn't accept any 147's. It would take 115 and 125's. No chamber relief to allow it to feed a long bullet? Go figure.

    The move back to 9mm accelerates

    just like .22lr rifles are being bought and shot at unprecedented levels. Heck, I'm one of the group. Just 2 years ago I owned many different caliber handguns including at least 3 different 10mm's, now all I have is 9mm and .22lr for handguns (and 1 oddball 7.62x25 Tokarev) Rifles were...

    Handling a M&P 9mm

    I'm a CZ guy as well, love my SP-01. I've owned (2) M&P fullsize and love them (.40 and still have a 9mm) but they don't compare for range use to the SP-01. While they have relatively light recoil, it is still more than my SP-01 and the trigger took me lots of practice to get used to. Can't...

    PLEASE HELP SP01 or P01 can't decide

    If you never have to conceal it, SP-01. If you are ever going to carry/conceal it, has to be P-01. SP-01 has been my range and HD pistol for several years now and I have found none better. Carrying and concealing a huge pistol that weighs 41 oz is not my idea of fun and practical. SP-01...

    On the fence about reloading 9mm, any help?

    I can buy 115 gr. 9mm reloads (plated FMJ's) for $160/1000 in an ammo can locally (plus tax). They work great. I think that reloading would be fun but I'm not sure that it is worth the time for the cost savings. Looking in local stores, I can buy 125 gr. RN cast 9mm for $44/1000 (4.5 cents a...

    What bolt action .22lr for kids and at what age?

    I've got one that is 2 and one on the way, I would like to buy a bolt action .22lr for a first rifle for my kids. What is out on the market? Are there any with collapsible stocks to allow for adjustments as they grow instead of buying new stocks? Any suggestions on models to look for? Out of...

    .22lr Rifle Options?

    BlisteringSilence, Where is your 10/22? Seriously, what parts did you use? I thought it was a Krinker Plinker kit at first with an ACE stock.

    .22lr Rifle Options?

    2 guys at the last 3 Gun match shot 10/22's because of ammo prices and it really looked like fun. I only have a Magtech 7022 .22 rifle (cost me $66 new) but it only has 10 round mags. What are my options for a "military" style .22lr rifle? 1) New Spike's Tactical .22lr AR15 upper will run...

    Question of the day: Is there a semi-auto version of the AK-107?

    NO. Do I wish there was one? YES.
