A 10 shot compact .38 special revolver. THey don't make that yet, do they?

Ask a lot of good questions before you start offering advice. My biggest pet peave is an employee that assumes I don't know anything and automatically tries to sell me a Glock 19.

Before an elbow injury I used to play a lot of golf. I could take breaks for weeks at a time between playing and not lose much as far as skill goes. I was told that it was because golf is all about fundamentals of the game--set-up, stance, grip--and large muscle memory. I suppose the same...

a co-worker of mine whose wife has a Sig Mosquito that only likes CCI Mini Mags. I happened to be sitting on about 1000 rounds of that ammo. I shoot .22 in my 10/22 which will eat just about anything. So I traded him the CCI for some lesser bulk ammo. I was glad to do it.

Trent, what a sharp young guy your son is. That's some nice parenting!

My LGS is pretty small, usually stocking a a couple dozen rifles. Swung by today to say hi and they only had a couple of .22s left on the rack. Asked the owner and he said they sold out almost immediately and couldn't find anything through their distributors. They still had a decent selection of...

I had some problems with under-powered bulk ammo not cycling. But with Mini-Mags it's 100%.

I have a Ruger LCR in .22 and it's a fun little gun. It's got a 1 7/8 inch barrel so it's no target pistol but it works well as a training aid for other concealed carry sized revolvers. Of course, like with any gun, you can get pretty good with some practice. I can stay inside a playing card at...

Bought my dad the full sized USMC KA-BAR. Came in the mail yesterday and I have been playing around with it. What a great knife, at least as far as I can tell without getting it out into the field. We backpack together a lot so we'll have ample opportunity to put this one through its paces. I...

I recently discover the knife line-up over at 5.11Tactical. I bought three for less than $100. The are AUS8 steel and came razor sharp out of the box. They have some interesting designs if you are into something a little less traditional. They do use a liner lock but they lock up tight. You can...

I carry my LCR in a Galco Stinger belt holster at 4:00. I can wear it under a t-shirt and it conceals just fine. Has a nice snug fit.

I recently received this in an email from my father-in-law. I was shocked at how things had changed since he was a high school student and thought you all might get something out of it as well. *** I graduated from Calvin Coolidge High School, Washington D.C. in 1964. Every entering 10th...

Now that's an intelligent answer to the question. Well thought through! I'm with you--I would go with some form of Ruger revolver. Maybe SP101 in .357?

Ruger SP101 Marlin 1894C Both chambered in .357 so can shoot either that load or .38 for lighter work--always been a sucker for the .38 special. . The SP 101 can be a ccw but handles the .357 load just fine. So I get two guns and only have to worry about stockpiling one or two calibers.

Ruger LCR .22 all day every day.
