[edit] Sorry, title should be 357/38. I have been wanting a lever gun for a while. Not sure why because I have no need for one. But as a kid I remember shooting my friends 44 magnum on a deer hunt, and my uncle had a .22 lever gun that I always enjoyed. Anyway, I noticed that Henry has...

A few weeks ago I sent an e-mail to my reps. It was basically a form letter my company had put together regarding sequestration. All I had to do was select the right senator to send the e-mail to. Guess what? I got a response back via e-mail. And, it too was a form letter. Obviously they...

There have been several threads on this and other forums about increased gun sales - one indicated a record number of sales in December alone. Anyway, I was earlier reading some articles by Massad Ayoob (my apologies if I misspelled his name) some of which discussed gun-related self defense...

I just joined the NRA for the first time. I challenge anyone else that has not joined to consider doing so as well. Can we use this thread to track how many followers we can get to do so as well? I hope this doesn't violate THR rules......its for a good cause, obviously. I've also...

My wife now has her CHL. She has a Beretta PX4 Storm full size in 9mm that she shoots well. I am trying to talk her into something a little more concealable. I am at a loss to help her with recommendations for concealed carry. Me, I wear bigger sized pants to accommodate an IWB as needed...

I don't see much on any forums that I follow about the Para LDA (DAO?) type pistols. Colt recently came out with a New Agent looking 9mm that is DAO. I like the looks and idea of the PDX LDA series for CC. Just not sure of the reliability, esp. since I don't see / hear much about them...

I ran across some Dynamic Research Technology at Cheaperthandirt the other day. Hadn't seen it before. It's got a powder core - is this the same as frangible ammo, or something different. Anyone have an opinion on this type of ammo compared to JHP? Just curious. Kind of makes sense from...

Anyone else watch Hickok45 on youtube shooting various types of .410 with a 2.5" Taurus Judge. Pretty interesting results, good video by John. Kind of like the Winchester PDX1 with 12 bb's and 3(?) 00 buckshot - or something like that. If I had a gang of thungs coming at me I wouldn't be...

Checked the Tx DPS and according to their statistics, and the number of sq. miles in my zip code, there were approximately 10 new CHLs per square mile issued in 2010. Gotta love Tx. Just thought this was interesting. :)

We only own about 5 pistols and I don't see a need for a 1,000 lb floor safe. my wife wants me to get a safe for my bedside to keep a pistol in. I prefer a hiding place when not at home and just keep the gun next to my bed at night. So, any good single pistol safes worth it? Maybe at most to...

Reading on another forum about S&W revolvers and the internal lock, which as best I can tell is a drop safety. Is that correct? Many posters indicate they have removed these locks. So is it possible for a revolver to go off if dropped? I have never really considered that possibility -...

I've been considering a S&W J frame for pocket carry. Probably a centennal model. This would be my first revolver. I have a Sig P229, a Colt Defender, and a Glock 26. Anyway, was wondering about the Taurus line of revolvers. Are they to be avoided, as is often the recommendation for...

I've recently taken a liking to the new(?) S&W Bodyguard with the laser. I have not held one but only seen in magazine. However, I have heard a alot about the LCP although on various forums, but not really paid much attention. Anyway, I would appreciate hearing some debate about the pro's and...

From what I can tell, 9mm ammo is much much less expensive than .380 acp. So for a pocket pistol, can one really justify a 380 - say when comparing a PF9 vs P3AT for example?

My wife and I have been shooting for about 10 months now. My wife used to be against having a gun in the house, but she eventually came around to the idea that we need to be able to protect ourselves. We are getting our CHL soon. The other night our daughter told my wife that someone tried...

I have a Colt Defender that I absolutely love, it is my first 1911'ish and 45 ACP. I really want to get my wife interested in the 1911 but she doesn't like the recoil. Same for my Sig P229 in 40 and 357, although she did pretty well yesterday shooting 40SW. While I really don't want to push...

Finally got to take my new Colt Defender, 3" 1911, 45 ACP to the range. Put 100 rnds of Federal American Eagle 230 Gr. FMJ without any problems. Only had 2 ejected brass hit me in the head, which has been a reported problem with the Colt in particular. But I think they even bounced off the...

Each Friday afternoon, Sat., and Sun., my local gun store (DFW suburb) is packed to the gills with people waiting on a shooting lane (indoor only) and many folks checking out the new guns looking for their first purchase. I guess I am just amazed at how many people are looking to buy their...

Just bought my first 1911 this past weekend, a Colt Defender 45 ACP. It has the 3" barrel. Have not shot it yet and am aware of the potential issues with the under 4" length 1911s. Just wanted to see what other Colt Defender owners thought of theirs. And, any upgrades you have made. I...
