I think my favorite 'warning' sign was posted just inside the entrance to an occult/wiccan store. This was not one of those new-age shops where one buys a seashell and some Yanni cds. This shop catered to practicing witches. The sign said, "Bad things happen to people who steal from us."

I used to know a fellow who had his CCW because exercising his rights was his way of voting. I know others who would never carry a gun. They consider it unnecessary and want nothing to do with the criminal, civil and, possibly, psychological results of having to use it. Or worse, they fear...

Does anyone here ever wonder, even in passing, whether owning guns is worth the trouble of owning guns? I'm not trolling. I've been shooting for 20 years and I've occasionally considered this issue. Gun ownership is a LOT of responsibility and expense. There are safes and locks and ammo and...

My former shooting group and I were at a range one night doing low-light training. This range was located up in the hills beyond the reach of the city's ambient glow. There were no external lights there. The only facilities at that range consisted of a collection of port-a-potties scattered...

There's some nice leather featured here. But I'm seeing a lot of single action and cowboy leather. I'd like to see more leather for MODERN double-action revolvers. Any volunteers?

I want another try at the first center fire handgun I ever fired, a Colt Python. And not any python, but THAT one... the one I fired 20-something years ago during my NRA basic pistol class. My NRA safety instructor owned it and I can't even remember his name. But I'd like to see how and if I...

Fall has arrived, and with it, my desire to shoot revolvers. There is something about the crunch of dry leaves under foot and the smell of fireplace smoke in the air that says, "bust out the wheelgun". I don't know why, but the seasons influence which guns I want to play with. Is there a...

Great photos, folks! Keep them coming. I only wish I had a holster worth showing off. WC145, nice gun, nice rig. That dark cherry/chocolate leather is gorgeous.

I am thinking I would LOVE to have a Marlin lever action in .357 except for one problem. I hate the straight stock. I like the pistol grip stocks on the 336 series. It appears, however, that Marlin does not make a .357 lever with a pistol stock like the 336 series. Is there a remedy? Can I...

That's great. But is that your ONLY combo? Have those two ever been the only two guns you own? Don't miss the point here, folks. It's not what you WOULD do if..., but whether you have ever really done the two gun experiment and what you learned as a result.

I like your choice, Sheinhausser. But this is not about what you would do. The question is whether you have actually sold everything except a rifle (or shotgun if that's your pleasure) and one handgun.

Well for that matter, I wonder if anyone has sold everything but a shotgun and pistol.

I've seen threads dedicated to "what if you could only have one rifle and one pistol..." But has anyone here ever ACTUALLY tried it? I'm not talking about buying your first gun and then buying others. I'm talking about divesting yourself of your entire existing collection, going down to one...

Off to a good start. Iggy, that's a pretty rig. Very nice.

The "modern" D/A wheel gun. Holstered. All the cops in my town wore them when I was a kid. That hooked grip. The hint of frame and top strap peeking out from the holster. There is something .. I dunno .. elegant about a wheelgun sitting in a leather holster. You got photos of holstered...
