    So I bought a Ruger LC9

    I wanted a slim, and lightweight 9mm, or possibly a 380, and handled a bunch of them a few months back. The Beretta Nano, Ruger LC9, Kahr PM9, Taurus 709 Slim, etc. The Kahr PM9 and Ruger LC9 felt best in my hand, and I read a bunch on both. It seemed the Ruger had less reports of...

    Light weight .357

    I have previously owned, and shot a S&W Airlite with 357 mag rounds. And like others have stated, it truly is BRUTAL. I also am not "recoil shy", and this is the only gun/ammo combo that actually hurt my hand after shooting only a few rounds. Then if you look at the ballistics of a 357...

    9mm Carry Ammo

    Gold Dot 124 grain +P functions fine in my glock. Ballistically the 124 grain rounds usually perform the best in tests.

    My perfect J-frame carry piece

    Over the years I have bounced around from different revolvers, trying different types of holsters, and also tried semi autos as well. The semi autos always proved themselves to be too unreliable, even though I always bought top quality stuff. And I do want to worry whether my gun is reliable...

    Just can't replace my J-frame .38

    The orange on my front sight is not painted on....the fixed front sight had a portion cut out, and the orange material was slid in there.

    Just can't replace my J-frame .38

    Tried the LCP and sold it. It did jam once, but it was just too "Kel Tec-ish". It produced the smilies like the P-3AT does, and while it feels more solid than a Kel Tec, it just didn't do it for me. Not a bad gun though.

    Just can't replace my J-frame .38

    I have tried over and over again to buy, carry, and trust a small semi auto, but I can't do it. I don't think all semi-autos are garbage or unreliable, it just seems the small ones just aren't reliable enough for carry. I have several Glocks, but found the G26 too big for carry. I've had...

    J Frame Low Recoil Ammunition

    Another vote for the Cor Bon 110 Grain +P DPX...but like said above its gonna cost a lot....about $32-38 a box of 20 w/o shipping.

    M&p 340

    Anything in the rumor mill about this model being produced without the internal lock? I know they have done runs of 642/442 with no lock, and the M&P auto loaders are offered without the lock. I will keep checking back with S&W to see if they do so. -Thanks

    air flight luggage question

    yea u can, but its gotta be locked up, and you have to declare it also. The TSA people will probably also handle it to check it out. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

    Any Love For The Smith & Wesson 60-4 3" Heavy Barrel "Chief's Special"?

    I recently got both a 60-4, and a 60-10 off Gunbroker. The -10 is rated for 357 mag with no lock, and has the laser etched markings. The -4 is .38 special +P with roll marked barrel, and has a target hammer and trigger. This one just feels more "classic" being .38 only, and with roll...

    LCR broke!

    Keep us updated DPris! Did you measure endshake, and/or the b/c gap before the test so you could compare it at the end? I see Black Hills has that load listed as 1050 FPS, and I'm guessing that is out of a 4" barrel. So using the 50 FPS per inch of barrel rule that "should" make it 950 FPS...

    LCR broke!

    DPris- what kind of ammo are you using for your test?

    Ruger LCR Question

    I measured the B/C gap and the .008 fit in there very tightly. .008 is certainly just fine, and I'm happy that Ruger "fixed" the gun. The B/C gap was never a big concern for me like the endshake was. I have never owned a gun with as much endshake as my LCR had before I sent it out. I...
