    20 Gauge for HD Use.....How Many Use It and Like It???

    Yes! 20ga is a great home defense weapon. We have a Winchester Defender in 20ga and a Mossberg 500, 18" barrel 20ga with a youth stock on it for my wife. The Defender is loaded with #3 buckshot. My wife likes Wad Wizzard's low recoil #4 plated buck in her Mossberg. Its actually an effective...

    Considering a Model 10 Smith & Wesson

    I've heard it said that the S&W Model 10 has everything you need and nothing that you don't. That's a very accurate statement. I prefer the 4" tapered (pencil) barrel, but I'm sure the heavy barrel versions are good to go too. They have been going up in price lately like everything else, but...

    Little Disappointed With My Ruger

    Try "Renaissance Wax" on your carry guns. It works! Museums use it on everything, including firearms. Hell, they even use it on outdoor statues to keep them from weathering. It leaves a very thin, invisible protective coating that will not hurt your firearm in any way. Sounds too good to be...

    Glock Love

    Glocks are one of the few popular modern pistols that I've had absolutely no desire to own. I've shot them and they work well, but they're definitely not for me, even with the veterans discount. If someone gave me one, I'd sell it. To each their own.

    Problem with my SP101 357 MAG.

    I have an SP101 .38 that does the same thing after about 30 or 40 rounds. Take a brush to the forcing cone and the cylinder face. The gap on mine is extremely small and fouling causes the gap to become negligible rather quickly. I like the gun tight. Brushing is just something that needs to...

    Ruger Distaste

    I own Ruger, S&W and Colt revolvers (even a Rossi). All work well and I have no complaints with any of them. Rugers seem to be almost "overbuilt". I certainly have no complaint about that, but their 2" SP101 is kind of heavy for a snubnose. I have the .38 only version. The weight does make...

    Gripping a Model 10

    Just picked up my first Model 10, 10-7 actually. They're great revolvers that have everything you need and nothing that you don't. This example is in like new condition with the box and paperwork and perfect grips numbered to the gun. First thing was to take those perfect grips off and put...

    Slip on recoil pads that fit a Rossi lever?

    I'm looking at these. The price is right and they look good. I've read on some product reviews that the small size fits the M92, but I'm going to email the company and ask what they suggest. They have free shipping, but a $5 handling fee, so $40 total. Seems very fair. I don't know about...

    7.62x39 Stopping Power

    Guy at the range got shot in the leg in Vietnam. It tore his leg up very badly. I can't believe with all the scars from stitches that they were able to save his leg. He said he wasn't going anywhere after being shot. Very devistating wound. Saw an inmate at the prison I worked at who got...

    I am not a Taurus fan, but which is the best autoloader in Taurus line?

    Had a PT92 since '88. Never a problem, never a jam of any sort. I've got an old PT58 S also, same story. I even bought a Rossi .38, same story. Stupid me for buying a Taurus product! Funny, I've had S&W's, Colts and Springfield Armory weapons that all had problems at one time or another...

    New/Old Chiefs Special

    Tex Shoemaker made alot of good outside the waistband holsters for the Model 36. Galco is also a good choice. I did the Ebay thing for all of mine. I love the Chief's Special in both 2" and 3" variations. I prefer the square butt and have Tyler T-Grips on all of mine. Stoked with Nyclad...

    Best STANDARD Pressure 38 Special Self Defense Ammo

    Nyclad 125gr HP or Buffalo Bore 158gr SWC-HC, whichever the weapon and shooter shoots best. I'm sure there are other rounds that work well, but these are what I've used for a while now in non +P rated weapons and I don't see any reason to change. They are low flash, soft lead and large hollow...

    Some Walther PPK Weirdness

    I had an Interarms PPK that did that all the time. Sent it to Interarms twice for warranty repair. The third time they sent a new PPK. It doesn't have the problem. I have no clue what caused it and apparently neither did Interarms.

    Newbie getting discouraged learning to shoot .38 special snubnose

    With snubbies, place your supporting thumb back behind the lower joint of your shooting hand thumb. More grip pressure exerted from your supporting hand. Put your trigger finger on the trigger somewhere that's comfortable for you on the second digit of that finger. Say to yourself and perform...

    Which CMP Garand Company

    I purchased two service grade Springfield Armory M1 Garands from CMP. Both are service grade. One is a 1941 receiver with a 1945 barrel. All parts are SA. The other is a 1954 receiver and barrel. Again, all parts are SA. Both are accurate and reliable, but the 1941 rifle is just...

    Sighting in a Garand: Where do I start?

    I like the simple battle zero as identified in the above post. It works. I don't shoot in competitions and 4" out to about 400 yds is a good battle zero.

    Help me pick my AR. Please..

    I've had a 20" Bushmaster since 1995 and 2 RRA M4geries since the assault weapons bill sunset. Never a problem with any of them. Have these companies started producing junk or something? My experience has been that they produce well made, accurate and reliable firearms at a fair price...

    .44 mag barrel length 4" or 6"

    I've got a Ruger Redhawk with a 7.5" barrel and a Dan Wesson with 6" and 8" barrels. I prefer the longer barrels in .44 magnum. All my .357's have 4" barrels, except for one 3". I have no interest in shorter barreled .44 magnums. I'm not going to carry them conceiled. If I were, I would...
