    Springfield Ronin 10mm

    Just acquired one of these. Very impressed. It has absolutley the tightest fit of any pistol I have ever owned, even better than my Gold Cup. Need some range time now.

    Try muzzleloader?

    Always hunted deer with centerfire rifle. Never took to bowhunting. But, our state permits a couple of weeks of muzzleloader hunting at the beginning of archery season, and getting to hunt in September during the rut is appealing. I'd appreciate the thoughts/comments of anyone who has taken...

    Scoping a lever rifle

    Bought a new Ruger/Marlin 1895 .45-70. Love it but was not getting the accuracy I expected. I began to suspect that my eyes weren't compatible with the open buckhorn sights. Then I read an article stating that there was a "special place in hell" for anyone who would put a scope on a lever...

    Changing your carry gun?

    Every gun magazine these days seems to have a new "ultimate" carry pistol on the cover. I was a long-time 1911 guy, then moved to Glocks years ago. I have continued to be satisfied there and assembled the magazines and holsters for those guns. Was not impressed enough with the new guns to...

    The 5 Best Snubbie Revolvers

    Looked at a website today that was claiming to name the 5 best snubnose revolvers. There are lots of these opinion pieces out there and all are subject to varying opinions. But what I picked up on with this one was that I've got 4 of the 5, and a better (to me) choice for the 5th. You? Ruger...

    Carry permit renewal time

    How long does this take in your state? I applied for a renewal about two months before mine is to expire, found out yesterday that they won't even look at it until about the day it expires and it will take two more months to complete. We have no-permit carry here but I'll be stuck for a couple...

    .45-70 hunting

    I have developed a longing for one of the new Marlin/Ruger 1895 Guide Guns, if I can find one that is not priced too high. Looks to me to be effective for woods hunting whitetail where long range is not an issue. Anyone with experience to share? Oh, and can you get ammo? I have enough guns...

    Do you have sentimental hunting gear?

    Been deer hunting for quite a few years, and each year I find that I always dig through my boxes of stuff to find a few items that I've always carried, and it just wouldn't be the same without them. I'll bet I'm not alone in this. Mine are an old orange insulated waterproof ball cap, a small...

    Who hunts with a single-shot rifle?

    Over time it has not been my favorite rifle, but I'm getting more and more comfortable carrying my Ruger No. 1 .30-06 but I don't know anybody else who hunts with a single-shot rifle. Looking at prices these days, somebody out there sure likes these rifles. Why do you (or do not) use one of...

    Mossberg SA20?

    Anyone have experience with this gun in a tactical/home defense role? My LGS has one and I'm considering a 20 ga defense shotgun.

    Single-six problem

    I have a Ruger Single-six that I bought used, worked fine, then one day it completely locked up. Can't cock the hammer or rotate the cylinder. I'm OK with tools and fixing things, but I've never opened one of these up. I could send it to a gunsmith but thought perhaps someone on this forum had...

    Increased value of an un-fired gun?

    In the past year I've bought some new guns that for one reason or another (mostly lack of ammo) have never yet been fired. I'm wondering what people would say is the likely effect of "new in box, unfired" status on a handgun's value. .

    Beretta 92X Compact magazine advice needed

    Anyone have a clue where one can get magazines for the Beretta 92X Compact? 13 rounds. Or, does anyone have experience that magazines for the 92 Compact will work in the 92X Compact? I see places advertising those as available. My Beretta M9 mags will lock in place and lock the slide open...

    .357 Special?

    I really like most .357 mag revolvers, and have several. But I really don't like the cartridge (flash, noise, kick). Compare the idea of the .44 mag vs the .44 special. Do people just fall back to using the .38 special? Or have some of you found a hotter .38 or a reduced-load .357 you...

    Re-discovered a way for a good range trip

    Deer season over, those rifles put away for now, my friend and I spent a session at my range with .22s. A Smith carbon barrel Victory, a K-17, a Ruger Mk II and my new CZ 457 MTR. Been a while since I've done that and we had a very good session which did not pound shoulders, wasn't loud, was...

    Truths about shooting classes

    Having just completed another shooting class, I've settled on the truths I believe I've learned from the many classes I've attended. Feel free to add your own: 1. Someone will have cooler gun stuff than you do. 2. Your stuff will be plenty good enough. 3. Someone will always shoot better...

    S&W Victory .22

    A friend is considering a Performance Center Victory, with optic, as a very accurate small game pistol (assuming of course that he can actually find one to buy). Anyone have experience with these I could pass on?

    Glock 35 conversions

    Just acquired a Gen 4 Glock 35, in .40 S&W. I gather that I can also shoot 9mm or .357 SIG with only a replacement barrel, and that the .40 magazines that came with the pistol will handle the .357 rounds. Assume I need a different mag for 9mm. Someone who has some experience here, please...

    My snapshot of a gun show today

    Finally had a gun show again here. Some observations: Zillions of magazines for sale, perhaps more than I've ever seen at one show. Not that many guns for sale compared to past times. Little reloading stuff for sale. I was able to get 2 lbs of IMR 4350 for $35/lb. Passed up another table...
