Someguy - thank you for that tip on the Leupold base, just ordered one. (Along with a new sling and a leather combo butt pad/cheek piece/ammo store.) I'll let you know how it works out. Other than the scope mount issue, I am really happy with this rifle. I might have made more of an issue...

I took delivery of my new Henry Single Shot .223 Remington /5.56 x 45 from Cabelas on Thursday 15 Feb. It had been on back order for almost 1 month at that time. In terms of the condition and physical appearance, it is everything I have come to expect from Henry. (This is my third, one small...

My Gammo Hunter Extreme ate it's own scope in less than 400 pellets. If you don't recognize the rifle by name, it's huge. Pyramydair recommended the UTG Leapers 3-12x44 AO 30 mm. They told me it would have no problem standing up to the recoil. It is mil-dot, illuminated reticle, and so far...

I have a Small Game Rifle, I have had it for approximately one year now. I am one of those who found mine to shoot quite high. I don't want to point fingers at Henry or Skinner, as I don't know what distance they were trying to zero. I found the quickest, easiest correction was a...

I come from city folk of immigrant roots with no shooting heritage. Therefore, first revolver and first handgun bought, circa 1973, was a Ruger Blackhawk 7 1/2 .45LC. And after I bought it, I shot it.

It is going a slightly different direction, but it seems to me that a Henry Big Boy Steel or Steel Carbine would be really good choice for you. I'd go with the .44 Magnum ...

One more recommending the Beretta PX4, but I am going to suggest you at least look at the full size model in addition to the Compact and Subcompact. The PX4s all come with adjustable backstraps to reduce the grip size. So you might find the small grip on the full size works for you. And if...

Have the Mossberg 500 with the thumbhole stock. (57700) Want to keep it ready-secure and the Shotlock looks like the best answer right now. Hoping someone out there knows whether this Mossberg fits the Shotlock? Also hoping this inquiry doesn't degenerate into pro-con Mossberg, pro-con...

I use this: http://stonerholsters.com/stoner-concealed-carry-strapless-shoulder-holster Just a suggestion, may not work for you. I wear the gun slightly off position for normal shoulder carry, it is under arm but back toward shoulder blade more. This is because I still favor a...

I bought a 992 in December. I bought it because I wanted a .22LR "DA trainer". (My self-defense handguns are all DA/SA) So the .22 Magnum was kind of a bonus, but 992s were available and 990s weren't. I have been absolutely delighted with it so far. Given the Dec and Jan weather in OH...

JTQ In the three Berettas I own, including the PX4 SC, even if there is some way to FORCE the hammer to come forward and strike the firing pin, the firing pin CANNOT strike the primer UNLESS the trigger is held back due to the presence of a firing pin block. The last bit of movement of the...

Pulling the safety DOWN decocks the BEretta PX4 AND safes the gun. Hammer drops with lever down, not up. And I have no idea what you did, the safety of the PX4 is on the slide, not the "handle". Putting it back UP takes the safety off. You flipped the safety off and pulled the trigger...

Try the Beretta Forum? www.berettaforum.net Have a 9mm full size myself. Very happy with it at 1000 rounds. But I'm a newb and it is my first centerfire handgun too. No real comparison basis other than a handful of range rentals.

"DA/SA with a manual safety" - The first thing I think of is Beretta. Their Px4 subcompact is the smallest 9mm they make meeting your "requirement". But it is not "small" relative to the micro-9mm pistols. There are several 380s out there matching your request. Bersa Thunder?

To the OP Three months ago, after looking at the Walther, Ruger, S&W, and SIG, I went with the Mosquito. I am a brand new shooter, no handgun experience, and my intention was to learn and practice with a .22 before buying a more typical defensive caliber. This may or may not have been smart...
