Christmas came early this year - the wife gave me a 19-4 as an early Christmas/Birthday present. I'd seen the gun in a pawn shop a few months back and showed a lot of interest in it, so she took it into her head to get it for me. All in all I gotta say that's pretty neat. :) Pictures to follow...

For the month of December over at the Gentleman Adventurer (my personal, somewhat multi-topic blog; gun posts are on Wednesdays :) ), I’ll be posting a series of excerpts and photos from a new eBook I’m working on entitled My Range Won’t Let Me. The purpose of the book is to help establish...

Hey all, Well, I'm not really a knife guy. I mean, I like knives. And I have several of them. But they're all cheap and I lose them like I lose sunglasses (and I lose a lot of sunglasses). However, lately I've been looking longingly at some of the nicer folders out there and have been trying to...

Posted the following over at Warrior Talk, but thought I might give my friends at THR a shout out as well and see anyone here has any experience with this. I've been wanting an AK of some variety for quite some time now (shot my Dad's quite a bit growing up) and while at one of my local...

Hey everybody! I've been saving for several months to purchase a 3" .357 Magnum as my daily carry piece (as soon as my CHL arrives...). I'm a big guy and the size and weight of the gun is not so much an issue, but I like double-action revolvers and I like the .357 Magnum caliber. My hard...

Hey there fellow wheelgunners, I've been stuffing cash away like a squirrel hoardes nuts for the last two months, in preparation for my upcoming birthday. It's a fairly special birthday and I'd like to buy myself something fairly special for it. The problem is that there are more good...

Hey there fellow Highroaders - One of the things I get the privilege of doing is writing an occasional (and I do mean occasional) article for the Fort Worth Examiner. The last two have been somewhat revolver-themed. Since I've learned almost everything I know about wheelguns from the great...

Picked one of these up from a churchmember a couple of weeks ago, right before leaving on my honeymoon. It's the standard 4" BBL service size. Comes with all the usual XD gear. NIB for $400. There are many like it, but this one's mine. I've shot plenty of XD's before, but this is the first...

Hey all, Well, I finally got around to finishing my Liberty Training Rifle (http://appleseedproject.blogspot.com/2008/02/liberty-training-rifle.html) and signing up for my first Appleseed - I'll be at the one in Davilla, TX, The 19-20 of this month. Has anyone else here been to that...

This weekend I managed to sufficiently ingratiate myself with the future Mrs. Scottishclaymore that she said it would be fine for me to swing by the Original Fort Worth Gun Show while she did some things before we went to dinner tonight. Needless to say I was pretty pumped that she'd let me do...

So there I was, walking through the gun show, minding my own business, not really planning on buying anything. And then, suddenly, I heard a voice calling out to me. Strolling over to investigate, I found it to be a S&W 64-5. It's got the heavier "bull" barrel (not sure what else you'd call it)...

As some of you may know, I run a Mossberg Maverick 88 security model. I like the gun and got it for a good price and have no complaints as to its function, even if it is a little battered and ugly. One thing I have been looking at wanting to do is get some ghost-ring sights so that I can place...

Hey folks! Well, I'm a shotgun and revolver kinda guy. I like wheelguns and blue and wood and double-barreled scatterguns. Just an old fashioned kinda guy as far as my firearms tastes go. Right now I am looking at getting something that will be a little more economic than my .357 magnum...

I know this has been discussed elsewhere and will accept links to previous threads/specific posts. My question is mainly aimed at those who have had actual professional training and/or experience. I am not very concerned with extra ammunition in a home-defense situation. I keep my shotgun...

I am a little confused about the issuing of non-resident CCW licenses in Indiana. My understanding is that they do this, but that you have to actually have a place of business there in the state to be eligible. Could anyone help shed some light on this?

Howdy folks! I've got an old Marlin Golden 39A Mountie. It's suffered a bit of water damage in a flood a number of years ago. The action looks to be alright (and is, incidentally, very smooth) but the outside has some places where the bluing has become rusted and pitted. Nothing very severe...

Hey folks. Last year, due to places I was going for work, I decided it was time to purchase some kind of a gun to keep in the car. I was under the mistaken impression that I couldn't keep a handgun in there, so I went for the next-best thing -- the shortest shotgun I could find. Got a PGO...

As promised I finally managed to make it to the range with my new Rossi today. What follows is the range report and my summary of the weapon. Range: All shots were fired from a distance of seven yards. As this weapon's purpose is to serve as a car/ccw gun, this is the maximum distance I ever...

After having survived a near car-jacking thanks to a shotgun in the passenger-side seat, I decided I wanted to have something that would be a tad more wieldy inside a Honda Civic. :D I resolved to purchase a revolver and went to the gun show today to kinda get the lay of the land. I liked the...

Some time ago I purchased a Mossberg Maverick to keep in the car. I have to go out to different customers' houses for work and sometimes that puts me places I'd frankly rather not be after dark. I figured having the shotgun around sure couldn't hurt. I have a secure way to store it when I am not...
