    Which CCW for hot FL weather?

    I never had a problem in concealing my G19 (when I owned one) during the hotter months here in Virginia. I just sweated a lot cause I was always wearing a t shirt and a button-down shirt to conceal it. I carry a j-frame 642 nowadays. Wonderful to conceal.... a real pain to shoot. But it fits...

    SP101 Picture Thread

    its a Solarforce copy of the venerable Surefire 6P. About a third of the cost of the 6P (or 6PD) but also not made in the USA.

    Marlin 336 problem

    ok. thanks everyone. You all's replies are similar to answers Ive received on other forums. mods feel free to close this thread if wanted. Im gonna go ahead and clean it real well, take it to the range, and shoot it/bang on it with a mallet. Oh boy. I though I got used to banging on guns...

    Marlin 336 problem

    Dear folks, Just bought a Marlin 336 yesterday. Looked it over while handling it at the store, and brought it home. Today, when I field-stripped it to clean it, I noticed that the rear sight was skewed to the left! Not real noticeably, but enough that it'll probably be shooting a little off...

    Ruger 10/22 Reliability

    I have a very reliable 10/22. Mine is from 2006 and it has the aluminum trigger housing and aluminum barrel band. It will eat ANYTHING except cheap federal bulk pack. Even Remington Thunderbolts (eats them with gusto) and the cheapie underpowered Winchester '333' packs from Walmart prove to be...

    Pardner Pump Protector Failure to feed issue

    I think I have the exact same problem with mine, too. Going to go ahead and put in the Wolff spring made for the 5-shot 870. Should work, I would hope.

    How is the recoil on a Smith and Wesson 638/642?

    When I take my dad's 642 to the range, I usually run 45 rounds of practice ammo through it, and 5-10 rounds of defense ammo through it. Im satisfied if I hit COM at 7 yards. It is not an easy gun to shoot. My hands are usually somewhat sore afterwards. That being said it carries extremely...

    What's on your '10 shopping list?

    S&W 642. Possibly one without the internal lock. Ive noticed that they've started producing some of those. My dad got one (on my advice). Doesn't shoot terribly easy (recoil-wise), but limiting range trips to 50rds or less should suffice. Carries very well, and is well made IMO. It will...

    rem 870 youth 21inch need advice please

    Its an ok gun. I bought it as my first shotgun and my HD gun. The skinny stock and Remington's terrible factory pad make shooting heavy loads downright unpleasant -- to the point where I'm almost certain that I could shoot a 12 gauge with birdshoot and reduced-recoil buck and have no problem...

    My $44 '44' M44 trunk gun

    Posted this success story in a few other forums. Its almost like fate was with me today. Im at Gander Mountain to pick up some ammo, and I wander over to the used guns section, as per normal. Lo and behold, I see a 1944 dated Mosin Nagant M44 carbine. An Izzie. Wooden aftermarket...

    LED flashlight

    Quark AA (from 4sevens.com) - 90 lumens out the front, 12 year warranty, really good CS if you have a problem. Good tint, great beam. around $60. Takes rechargeable, lithium or regular AAs. The bad: made in china (but for an American businessman. Surefire L1: 65 lumens stated (probably more...
