I just got one at Gander Mountain for $19.99. Pick one up and get a get a kid started on the fundamentals of safe shooting. That and a couple bucks for 1500 BBs makes a good Christmas gift.

My brother painted his Remington Sportsman years ago with 3 different colors of spray paint to get a camo pattern. He used nothing special or expensive and it worked great. The paint hasn't chipped or worn away. He made sure to strip all the oil and grease off as much as possible, as has...

I saw Lightfield 3.5" slugs for sale at Gander Mountain. They are a little pricey.

Freedom Arms model 83 in .454 Casull with 7.5" barrel.....or not. If you're set on the .45acp be sure to check out the Springfield XD. In fact, spend some time shopping around. Go to a gun range where they offer guns to rent. Try out some different makes and models. Usually they aren't...

I bought a Taurus 941 .22mag for my wife and it's one of my favorites to shoot. It's very accurate, just feels right in my hands, and I love to shoot it. I don't have a handgun in .22lr yet, but I plan on getting one soon. The .22mag ammo is a little pricey so I'm looking forward to being...

Referring to the original post, "I personally think that a 32 should be a decent self defense round as any bullet will do enough damage to take down an attacker. Prove me right or wrong." I love the .32 acp because a friend of mine was shot 3 times with it at around 10 yards, twice in the face...

Thanks, Bearman. That helped. This thing is a piece of garbage. I've seen kid's toys that were built better than this.

Can someone tell me how to take apart a Davis Industries .380? The firing pin broke and I bought a replacement, but I can't figure out how it breaks down. Any information would be appreciated.

Jim, I plan on replacing the firing pin and giving it back to it's rightful owner. I won't be spending any more of my money on it. It's a piece of garbage. I can't believe my friend used to carry it for self defense. Have a good one.

That's what I thought, Jim, but mrmeval pointed me in the right direction. I believe I found the part at Numrich online and they have them in stock. The gun is a piece of junk, but it belongs to a friend so I will fix it. Thanks for the help, mrmeval.

I have a Davis Industries .380 that I borrowed from a friend. It's a very cheap gun. I dry fired it once and the firing pin snapped in half and flew across the room. Does anyone know how I can fix it/replace the part? I'm assuming parts for this gun are not readily available. Any help would...

Doger5----the person I know was shot due to a practical joke gone terribly wrong. I won't go into details, but I don't have much faith in that caliber due to the evidence I saw. I can handle stronger calibers than that, so I do. Use what you can and become proficient with it. That's good...

I know someone that was shot 3 times with the .32acp from a short distance with 2 of the shots hitting him in the face. He is still alive and well. I don't know what ammo was used, but that was enough for me to never consider it for self-defense.

I was around 12 years old when I was fishing for dogfish in a river off of Lake Michigan. We caught little perch and used them as bait. The line was only about 1 foot down from the bobber and I was watching about 6 geese swimming slowly along. It didn't dawn on me until it was too late. The...

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
