I'm thinking of getting a S&W 686 ( 4")revolver. Is there any draw back to the 7 shot as opposed to the 6 shot model ? Also which wood grips do you like? Thanks for yoru input.

Which bargain ammo - Fiocchi or S&B do you recommend and why? Or are they about the same. This is for a Sig 228 in 9mm. Thanks.

Sellier and Bellot or Fiocchi or CCI Blazer - which would you choose for 9mm in a Sig 228? This is for target/training. Thanks.

I just got the Henry lever action lr22 - basic model for Christmas. So far I really like it. Took it to the range and had lots of fun... it was accurate and easy to use. For now I won't spend twice the money for the Browning or Marlin - maybe someday!

What rifle do you recommend for a newbie in IDPA 3 gun matches. And this is for California so I know the choices are somewhat limited. Looking for something not too expensive to start out with. Thanks - and this is for a 5'6" female so nothing too huge.

OK, I'm thinking of getting a lever action 22 rifle. I'm impressed with the Browning BL22 but the price tag is a little high. Any thoughts on the Henry lever action 22's - especially the youth model. I'm looking for a fun rifle for me (not very tall gal) and something I can get new shooters...

Anyone have the Browning 22LR lever action rifle? If yes do you recommend it for a fun, easy to shoot and maintain rifle? ( I can take apart and reassemble a Ruger Mark II without too much trouble - would this mean that if I follow the manual I can handle the Browning's lever action as well?)...

The range in Stockton is indeed closed down. Try Gun Room up in Elk Grove just about 40 minutes north on Hwy 99

I had a similar problem with a sig 228. Turned out it needed to have a little more oil on the slide - one of the guys I shoot with said I was running it too dry. Also I tested it with a little hotter ammo and that worked as well. Hope that helps. Good luck.

It's a great light - a little pricey but I like the one I got. I carry the L-1 in my purse, too.

I'm looking for recommendations/opinions for a 9mm carbine to be used for 3 gun matches and indoor range use. I'm thinking of either the Ruger PC9 or Beretta Storm. I'm a lefty, too and I understand the Beretta can be set up for us southpaws. thanks

Say, I just got a used Sig 228. Love it but the slide doesn't lock back after the last round. don't think I'm limp wristing it - no problems with all my other semi-autos. Any ideas out there? thanks.

Try shooting left handed. You might be suprised how easy the switch is.
