    Lever action .357

    If you can find a used Winchester 94 in .357, grab it. The 94s are fairly tolerant of varying ammunition lengths. Consider the replica Winchester 73 in .357. (Made by Uberti and sold by all sorts of other firms).

    3 injured in accidental shooting at NC gun show today

    Sigh.... Rule One: All guns are loaded Repeat: _ALL_ guns are loaded. Repeat: _All_ guns are _LOADED_. (This means _yours_!) For the five year olds reading this: Guns go boom. That one too! Rule Two: Point the gun only at something you are prepared to destroy. For the five year...

    I am down an arm.

    Had to deal with the world one-handed for a while. Footgear: Sneakers that close with velcro. "Roper" or similar cowboy boots. You can also work with a spouse or buddy to tie your shoes loose enough to use them as slip-ons. Double-knot them so they stay tied. Guns: Revolvers are very...

    Looking for a new shotgun.

    The Stoeger 20" and 24" side-by-sides are solid basic guns. They are quite durable, and are very popular for Cowboy Action Shooting events, due to their reliability and relatively low cost.

    Trap Gun Options

    I use the Citori XT for Trap. Darn good gun. Way over your stated price range, however. I have tried a few BT-99s Good single-shot gun. The Remington 1100 is a good gas-operated self-loader.

    45 colt bp

    Any non-extreme black powder load should be safe for a steel-framed Remington repro with a conversion cylinder. However, heavy bullet .45 loads at anything over blooper velocity will produce significant recoil. If you are used to shooting a Ruger Vaquero, or other solid, substantial gun, the...

    Finally!! A 32 revolver

    The Single Six in .32 is popular for use in Cowboy Action Shooting matches, especially for those with small hands or physical limitations that mandate minimum recoil. Mine tend to shoot best with heavy bullets, ~100 grains at moderate velocity. The The Privi Partisan .32 S&W Long ammo is...

    OK. So I carry a Bond derringer. Let's talk .45 Colt SD loads

    A contrarian opinion: Use a serviceable mid-weight, mid-velocity round. Practice with it. Learn where you point and hit with it. Be confident and comfortable, because the gun will not be beating you up. A 200-225 grain SWC at 650-700 fps is enough thump for a fight in which a derringer is...

    I don't own a shotgun, and this needs to be fixed.

    I use a Citori XT for Trap competition. Solid, shootable, and reliable. The field gun version is quite nice.

    Cheap double barrel shotguns?

    I have found used Stoegers, Stevens, etc in pawn shops at reasonable prices on occasion. One of my current Cowboy shotguns is a pawn shop $250 Stoeger Uplander 24" side by side choked IC and M. It is an older gun, with the original stamping "E. R. AMANTINO", and tagged as such, which is probably...

    Colt Baby Dragoon or Pocket Model: a small-frame, 5-shot, .31 caliber percussion revolver. It was very popular and outsold most other percussion guns by Colt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Baby_Dragoon Quite common in 1857. Small and handy. Easy to carry in a coat pocket.

    When will they learn ?

    Some see duty as only to oneself. Some see duty as only to family and oneself. Some see duty as larger than their immediate self and kin. Societies are built on this group. When we disparage or discourage a sense of duty to non-kin, society is in mortal peril. Courage under fire is...

    When will they learn ?

    So, we lack the reason necessary to make life and death decisions under a surprise crisis? Seriously? If CCW holders tended to shoot the wrong person, I would expect to hear about it. When that nutjob shot Ms. Giffords and others, a person with a sidearm and CCW permit intervened. (As did a...

    Pistols all going out of stock?

    Gun sales are brisk. The makers are having trouble keeping up. We thus wind up having to wait more than usual.
