    Kahr CW40/45 vs Ruger LCR

    This was a hard one for me, I voted for the LCR, because I agree with you and believe it has the best out of the box DA revolver trigger currently available and I like the range in power levels available for revolvers. What made it a hard decision is because my carry choice is a Kahr P9. I have...

    Animal encounters

    Was fishing a large beaver pond in NW Montana when I hear thrashing and crashing behind me. I turn and see a small moose head and a very large moose head coming right at me, but not looking at me. They seemed intent on pushing through the heavy brush to the pond. There is no were to run and no...

    gun you regret buying...

    Model 600 Remington in 6 mm, 8XX SN, bought new in 1966, if I remember correctly. The front brass bead was so large it completely blocked the rear site notch making the open sites useless. Scoped it with a 6x, the best 100 yard groups I got were 5 inches, with every type ammo I could get...

    SIG, S&W, other?

    I voted other, with the Kahr K9, my first choice, or T9 and Sig 225/P6 in mind.

    CZ-82 or Model 10?

    My recommendation is the Model 10 because every one should have a good center fire revolver and the Model 10 is a very good revolver, as good as your K22. It has a very large selection of after market stocks available for it and can be fit to almost any hand. If the CZ is not a good fit for your...

    lokking at a makarov

    +1 for the Mak/CZ82, enjoy mine, But if you have a feed problem the relatively small ejection ports on these guns may make clearing the problem harder then pistols with more open ports. I have not had a problem with a Mak/CZ82/CZ83 that was not ammo or magazine caused. The guns have been 100%...

    Your most satisfying gun purchase of 2009?

    Sig 225 just edged out the Kimber M96 6.5x55 and it's a good thing too considering this is a handgun forum.

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    Let me try to clear up a few points. 1- “Many years ago” for me predates the common use of cell phones by about 20years. Should have noted that originally. Sorry 2- “trapped in my car” I was in my car all the time. 3- there was no verbal or direct physical threat made by them at anytime...

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    Young, Dumb and Lucky Many years ago I was working in a rural small town with a well-deserved reputation as a rough hard drinking town. We had shut down work early one Friday, some of the guys had 5-hour + drives to get home for the weekend and we were working 10 to 12 hours a day. I decided to...

    UltraSonic cleaner.

    This may only be gun show gossip (third hand info) but I use to talk to a son/inheritor of the makers of MP 7 when they were trying to break into the gun cleaning market and he said it was originally formulated to use in ultrasonic cleaners and dip tanks for the aviation industry. You might want...

    SIG P229 vs P226 (9mm)

    I voted 229. I can’t explain what it is/was but I knew the 229 was the “one” the first time I held one. It is the pistol I want in my hand if I need a gun in my hand. Please note I said my hand. Try to handle and shoot both, they have subtly different feels. (AK103K said it better.)

    Sig classic 22

    I have a 229R-22. I was disappointed with the smaller grip/frame of the mosquito and mine was spitter. The 229-22 is much better. It is everything I wanted the mosquito to be. The aluminum slide makes it much lighter than my 229-9mm so it's easer to pull off target with the trigger. Which I...
