Cabela's currently has a Winchester o/u for $1099, which is lower priced than the B guns. I've shot and loved an SKB and I've disliked the Stoeger. Any thoughts?

Not walther p22 When I bought it new, FTFs were common; however, that problem went away as it aged. The next drama was that the safety walked down from the Fire position to the Safety position as I shot thru the magazine. Most recently, with less than 2K rounds through the gun, the slide...

Tough Choice: 620 I've had a 620 for a couple of years. I very seldom shoot anything but .357 125 gr. anymore and I shoot approx. 100 rounds per month (not heavy use). The gun has performed flawlessly and shows no signs of weakening. It's comfortable to shoot and if it's not shooting tight...

.357 Forever Anyone who shoots .357 ammunition for sport must become addicted. Yes there are easier calibers to master, but none of those make as much noise and get as much attention. If you love to shoot you just have to smile when things start getting loud (Memo to File: Don't EVER forget...

Move to MD Kingpin/Norton: Thanks for the information. I'm moving to Garrett County which seems to be a gun-friendly part of the state. While visiting there I've used the Savage River Forest range there with a long gun and have been impressed with the friendliness and safety consciousness of...

I am moving from Virginia to the People's Republic of Maryland, which is not a good thing for a lot of reasons; however, the most immediate concern is my handguns. While I understand my concealed carry days are over, are there any other restrictions I need to worry about? Specifically: It...

Communicating with Elected Officials I am represented in the state legislature by anti-gun people; nonetheless, they are the ones I write about gun issues. I keep thinking (wishfully) that their awareness that there are RKBA proponents in their constituency will discourage knee-jerk voting on...

Delegate Supporting Current Restaurant Ban I wrote my delegate asking that he support repeal of the restaurant ban. I've posted his response below. While I'd have liked him to agree with me, I feel like I got an honest, thoughtful and sincere response. I am no expert on this issue, but his...

Restaurant Ban I sent my del. a request for his support. Of course here in the Peoples Republic of NoVA, the day after the repeal all the places will post "No Handgun" signs, deterring only the law abiding.

Here's what I sent...I'm probably a bit more reserved on this issue than some, but I simply can't see the logic of keeping guns out of the hands of the law abiding. Unfortunately my senator is Patsy Ticer. Quote: Senator: Like you, I do not generally agree with the conservatives in...

Ranges and Cops 1) Chris in Va: Where's that freestyle range? I'm confined to shooting indoors in NoVa or using pretty regimented ranges. It's not the worst situation, but I'd like to shoot at something besides paper, and I don't like Japanese cars. 2) Cops are like most other...

When I started out in the Navy we shot the .45 which was the standard at the time. For novices it was difficult to shoot the "issued" range guns accurately and the recoil was daunting. The aviation community could shoot .38 revolvers for qualification and it was more user friendly for...

Take a look at the item in today's Washington Post written by a former NRA staffer. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/14/AR2007121401328.html It's probably a fair generalization that most lobby organizations and large non-profit organizations exist to support...

Bought a 620 Two Years Ago I wrestled with the 686+ and 620 decision and after shooting both of them decided to get the 620. It is marginally lighter, but not enough so to have more noticable barrel flip. Frankly, most things I like about the 620--trigger pull, 7 rounds, etc. would have been...

The Club I have a Club in the car, which is obviously used to slow down car thieves. I bought the Club with the thought that it would make a useful weapon if needed. I believe it's marketed as a dual use (security & weapon) device, since the name seems to signify that it's available as a...
