    Full size all metal 9mm

    Looking for a first auto. No polymer stuff. Large cap would be ideal. Rail for a light a must. Reliability a must. Ranch carry and bedside duty. 9mm because cheap ammo, no reloading, and I plan on shooting the gun often. Weight no issue. Don't mind spending real money on the gun but don't want a...

    Tula 154 grain x39 strikes again!

    Didn't have daylight left to have a photo shoot, unfortunately. Was hoping to score this morning and take my time field dressing. Actually had all my processing stuff ready for a change. Deer were in the yard this a.m but not giving me the shot I wanted. Sure enough about 430 the same five or...

    Range building

    In the process of getting a lane cleared in the back. I have a couple big stumps to burn out but then I have about 125 yards for the rifle range. Gentle downhill slope. Bench will be on my Texas deer stand aka back porch and for pistols I'll just walk back towards the berm. I have a lot of...

    Scout rifle proliferation

    They keep making more and more scout labeled rifles and scout-like rifles, yet functionally there is little a modern semi auto can't do better so I'm failing to see any point here. Was looking at a new Savage scout. 16" barrel in .308. Whats the point of that caliber in a barrel that short...

    CVA Bobcat

    I couldn't pass up a CVA bobcat sitting on the shelf so I have a muzzleloader now. I had wanted a Hawken or Pennsylvania rifle for some time but so many guns, so little money. This one has real wood, even the wife was stoked when she saw it and she's kinda ho-hum about firearms unless they are...

    Why I learned to stop hatin' and love the AK!

    I did a search for threads about AK's but there wasn't much there in terms of a comprehensive thread so I wanted to start one for all the AK guys, who seem to be a distinct minority here in terms of SA rifles. This is for us, fans of the AK, and no others. Legitimate criticisms welcomed, but...

    Large cap truck pistol?

    I'm posting cause I need something good for my truck and I really don't know much about what's out there because my interest in autopistols has always been pretty limited. Something small enough to hide and secure easily (pistol sized) that holds a lot of rounds in a magazine. This won't be a...

    Want a new semi-auto rifle but

    I can't figure out which way to go. I really wanted a particular rifle but it's simply out of my price range at $1200 or thereabouts. I'm not doing right by me and mine spending that kind of money so selfishly. So I'm looking for something I can have in my hand for no more than $850 including...

    TX rifle/handgun in vehicle laws

    Hello, I need some info on carrying a rifle and handgun in my vehicle within the state of TX. I'm having a tough time getting anything solid on google so I figured I'd post. Please note I DO NOT have a CCW currently. I spend lots of time in Hays, Comal, and Travis counties but am also...

    .44 Special vs .45 ACP in a CCW

    Figured I'd toss this out there. Lots of guys say that the .44 special, .45 acp, and .45 colt (standard loading) are more or less similar in ballistics and all make excellent SD cartridges. If this belongs in General Handgun then I hope a mod puts it there, but my question is more related to...

    Polish Tantal 5.45 sound off

    Was looking at one of these for a truck/vehicle gun. My FAL is a bit too long to cut that duty and the PARA is out of my price range. J&G has the Tantal listed (yes, Century Arms) for $400 dealer cost. My FFL only adds his transfer fee so this is an affordable option for me right now, especially...

    .375 High BC projectiles for extreme range?

    Was looking at barreling up for a large caliber and was interested what kind of long range performance anyone may have gotten or have witnessed with the .375 diameter cartridges. Was thinking .375 H&H or .378 Weatherby magnum, just wasn't able to find a whole lot of info on shooting past 300...

    .44 S&W Special Revolver Shooter's Thread

    As a fairly recent convert to .44 special, I wanted to start this thread for .44 special guys who post on the forum, as few or as many as they may be. Post your .44 special gun pics, your favorite bullets and loads, and anything else .44 special related that you want to share. Myself, I am...

    S&W Model 21 classic questions

    Just stumbled across the Model 21 from S&W. Never had seen one before. I'm a recent convert to .44 special and have already moved my choice of revolvers in that direction. Personally, I found the gun disturbingly beautiful: Couple of questions will seal this deal for me: 1. Can it handle...

    West Texas Hunting

    Planning on doing some hunting out in west Texas sometime in the near future. I've never hunted that kind of open terrain before, so I have a few questions maybe someone can help me with. 1. What kind of yardage should I expect to be competent in shooting? I've hunted MN and FL and am...

    Smith Model 10 Issue

    Was shooting my Smith model 10 today. Running 4.5-5.0 grains of Unique behind a 150 grain SWC. Was accurate and shooting fine. All of a sudden, halfway through a cylinder, it locks up tight. Can't pull trigger or cock hammer. Pulled the ammo and checked for high primers, running them...

    Recommend me a good BP rifle kit to build

    Been bored and want to build another rifle. Finished my other projects. Don't have a BP gun yet and was thinking building a kit would be enjoyable and fun for a winter project. Was looking at the Traditions Hawken. Like the double set triggers and all. I'll look into all suggestions as...

    How does one "tighten up" a revolver?

    As in tightening the lock up. I know it's gunsmith territory but I'm still interested in how it's done, assuming it's possible. I have an older Rossi that has served me well, is very accurate, has a great trigger, and is my favorite handgun but the lock up is a bit sloppy. I would really like...
