Ruger mkII WARNING SHOOTING THIS PISTOL IS ADDICTING AND YOU WILL GO BROKE TRYING TO KEEP IT FED.

I was a Montana guide, bush pilot, and chief pilot for big sky outfitters for many years I spent a lot of time in the bush, the S&W 29 is the only way to go. The problem with larger, 460, 500 ect is weight.

Never met a quality built pistol that was not a better shot than me. I made a lot of change with a 45/1911 at 300 yards on a range in Silverado Calif. in Orange County. I could keep 5 out of 7 on a pie plate at that range. It is actually very easy once you know how much drop to compensate for...

The best advice is to go out and try as many as you can, first, they buy what you like the most. autos are like socks, you will know which one fits you the best, and then don't settle for only one pair. That being said, the best platform going is a 1911. there are more conversions to just about...

My glock 27 has no problem getting the job done. The 40 is a great round

The best CCW weapon is the one you can hit your target with, all the time. That being said, and if size is the man consideration ruling out the 1911 commander in 45, then put me down for the Glock 27 with the trijicon three dot sights

Get them both, both will serve you well. A good carpenter needs more than one tool in the box. It's like blonds or red heads, ect, depends on the mood

I have many auto's in many flavors and sizes, but when the chips are getting low on my end of the table, make mine a series 80 45 stainless. It's like the energizer bunny, it keeps going and going.

The real question is why you want the second gun. If it is to get more power, then by all means buy the 44. As for recoil, one of the best shots I ever saw was a 14 year old skinny girl that constantly out shot her father with a SW29 4 5/8 inch. the father was a LEO. It is not the recoil, it is...

I kill all sorts of things that are just doing their thing because of how they were made. Snakes are just one more thing in that category. I kill snakes bacteria, roaches, viruses, ticks flies mosquitoes, cancers, diseases, and every thing else that I can that is legal to kill to protect...

I discovered this place when researching an old friend , Dean Grennell who has passed away, seemed like my kind of place. Spent many years as Grennell's apprentice while he was at Gun World, and have a great love for anything that shoots and even for many that do not. I have many true stories of...

Man do I miss you, Dean I personally knew Dean, I worked with him when he was at Gun World as his apprentice without pay, and ended up in many of his articles and even on the cover of the 1977 Hunting Guide. He wrote an article about me one year on my birthday. He flew in WWII as a tail...
