    Report: New EAA Witness P Compact .45ACP

    Tangfolio and EAA I love those things! I dated a girl that bought one years ago and it was a TACK DRIVER! (I think it was a Tangfolio.) She used it for IDPA and wiped the floor with 80% of the guys that shot. (She used to regularly beat the STUFFING out of the two local PD guys which put...

    Small Auto or Revolver Suggestions for Petite Wife

    Have you tried a Sig 230/232? A girl I dated some time ago was very petite and had problems with the stuff I owned. We tried a Sig 230 and she didn't have any problem with it at all. This led to her buying it from me and then a Beretta 380. She was a damn good shot with them too. She eventually...

    Best handgun for first-timer?

    You may want to wait and save a little more. It will allow you to make a ore informed decision AND help you save towards something you REALLY want and not feel like you have to compromise. Someone already suggested and I'll suggest again, go to a range. Most ranges will rent guns and then you...

    Anti-gun family.

    My family was very anti-gun. Not to the point that I couldn't have toy guns or anything though. I wasn't allowed to have a bb/pellet rifle even though my Uncle was going to buy me one. (A Benjamin too! *cry*) Luckily, most of our neighbors hunted and I was friends so I got to learn in...

    A Couple of Geogia Arms .38 Special Loads...

    For what it's worth, I've used Georgia Arms for many many years. Basically since I moved to Atlanta 13 years ago. I think I have had 3 total duds from them and 2 were .223 and the other was a 9mm. I brought them back just to tease the guys with. I always buy ammo from them when I'm at the...

    Do S&W Model 10 Revolvers Still Sell Well?

    I don't know if this helps or not but I just bought a 10-8 this last weekend. It's 90-95% and I paid $250 for it and was very happy. It seems in my neck of the woods, Atlanta, Georgia, they sell for about $300 in slightly worse condition than the one I got. So, at least ONE sold well. (I...

    What do you like about revolvers?

    Wow, after reading through all this, I feel bad about posting my thread "Fell in love with a 10-8." All in all, I'll probably love 1911's more than anything but I do suddenly have a great appreciation for revolvers. Shooting the 10-8 that I just bought was like shooting any of the 1911's...

    Fell in love with a Model 10-8

    Hi all, new member here and I just wanted to step in and say hello. I'm not a new shooter but I am new to revolvers in general. I mostly shot 1911's since that's what I carried in the Navy so long and I've owned a few Glocks and other assorted pistols/rifles but never purchased a revolver...
