    If you could use only one...

    Tightest choke you can shoot steel in ( Ducks or Geese is Modified ) ...and you need a Full choke for Turkey....so what you're suggesting is not practical.

    Using 38 Special Ammo in 357 Revolver?

    No, just clean & lube the gun properly after you shoot it.... I don't see much of a difference in accuracy between .38 spl and .357 mag cartridges...in my 4" or 6" S&W revolvers especially ....although you might have to adjust your hold point on a target a little bit ...depending on the...

    Learning to shoot with the weak hand

    Re-hab....talk to your doctors....( not guys on the intenet !! ) With arm, or hand, weakness or injuries ....controls on the gun and how it fits your hands is a bigger deal ( although its always critical )...and reducing recoil. So in general - maybe a single stack gun, with a shorter...

    Round Count? How many rounds thru your shotgun?

    All mfg's have ups and downs....but none of my Citori XS Skeet models ...even at 400,000 plus rounds have even needed springs or firing pins....( but that's not a big deal even when it does happen )... ------------- but all of my shells are "Target Loads" ...even my primary 12ga load is 1...

    Round Count? How many rounds thru your shotgun?

    My primary "target" guns are all Browning Citori XS Skeet models...and my primary 12ga is about 13 yrs old now ...and its got about 400,000 shells thru it ...( I only shoot about 7,500 a yr now - and not too muich 12ga anymore )..../ I have and still occasionally hunt upland birds with the...

    SA revolver suggestions

    Craig is right ....about handling ...and ideally shooting a variety of these guns before you make your decision ! There is a huge variety in how the grips feel in a showroom vs on the range as you fire 4 or 5 rounds...

    Bird head grips....?

    I don't like the birdshead grips either....they get away from me too ...mostly because I have pretty big hands..( gun rolls out of my grip / and its too short )... ...so I went to a Freedom Arms large frame model 83.....for my introduction into the single action revolver world, and I've been...

    SA revolver suggestions

    Chris, --- sorry for your loss...but I think a gun in a style that your dad liked is a neat idea.... but with big hands....I don't think you're going to like the way the birdshead gun grip feels in your hands. I also don't think you're going to like the "shortness" of the grips on the...

    Price check: Smith model 29 and 19

    Big gunshow in my area yesterday ....and S&W revolvers were up in price at least 25% ...over what I thought was the expected price range. This "buying frenzy" is affecting everything....even revolvers and a variety of handgun ammo ( with 9mm 115gr - FMJ range ammo at $ 20 - $24 for a box of...

    8 shot .357

    Sure - we understand.... I'm a 1911 guy too ....so 8 + 1 just makes sense to me too ..... But its easy to adapt to a 6 shot revolver.../ at least for me ...when I choose to carry a K frame ( in a 4" like a model 19 or 66 )...in .357 mag. I don't even carry a speed loader..../ if 6...

    DAO the way to go

    There were a number of bobbed hammer models produced by S&W ...as specials under some product codes - per the S&W 3rd edition book...mostly 2" but one is mentioned in a 3" barrel as well ..... with bobbed hammers there were about 660 made in 1986 - and about 6,000 of them in 1989 ...

    8 shot .357

    There are pros and cons to moon clips..../ pros are they're faster to reload...cons are if anything is off a little ...it'll jam big time... are they worth fussing with ...you have to decide / in my opinion, they're a pain in the butt. Timing on these 8 shot revolvers is more critical -...

    DAO the way to go

    I would leave it alone as well..../ with rare exceptions, most of the trigger pulls on the S&W revolvers are awful good....now maybe yours needs some internal cleaning ..and a little bit of lube...and then re-evaluate. but, if you really think you can't live with it ...then about the only...

    all around shotgun?

    If you're looking for a semi-auto .....look at the gas sytem guns....Beretta, Browning Gold or Silver series ...for the most affordable options and good solid guns. They probably make 60 or more models between them...so you have a lot to choose from - to fit your needs and budget. If you...

    Trade-in Advice For Handgun (1911 V-16)

    Talk to the owner of the local shop where you want to buy the Glock ...and make the best deal you can. I don't suggest fooling around with the gun broker websites...for a one time sale. If the local dealer won't give you what you think is a fair deal....then try to sell the gun you have...

    ship handgun Mo. to Mt. to myself

    Like Craig told you ...... Q: May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity? Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful...

    Wilson Combat KZ 45 - thoughts?

    Good - the guys at Wilson will take care of it - and quickly ! I broke an extractor on one of my wilsons a few months ago ...shipped it to them, got it back in less than 10 days. Great service ...and great guns !

    Price check: Smith model 29 and 19

    For the .44 mag...I load a Montana Gold bullet 240gr JSP ...and I've been using Hodgdon TiteGroup in that case....but I've also tested some Hodgdon Universal ...and both have worked real well. I'd have to check my reloading logs ...but with TiteGroup that bullet has a range of 9.0 - 10.0gr...
