    Oregon Magazine restrictions?

    I'll be driving through a portion of Oregon and in checking restrictions, I cannot find anything on magazine capacity restrictions. This is good but I want to hear it from some of you Beaver residents - are there any restrictions on capacity? Thanks!

    Ccw iwb

    BFD covered it well. Also the Wilderness Instructors Belt is fantastic for carry. I've been a leather person all my life. My belts are made locally at a saddle shop in town, always liked carved leather belts so.... Just a few months ago I bought my first Wilderness Ins. Belt. Was so impressed...

    Ruger SP101: CC Experience

    I carry a 3" SP 101 in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II. I have probably more "unhappy with" holsters for the 101 than any handgun I own. The Sparks VMII has now been with me for over 3 years and the only complaint I have about it is I didn't buy it 6 or 7 holsters ago. There's no snag, rides...

    Forward slide serrations?

    No need for them. Like having a cheeze grater on the muzzle. Another no need are ambi-oversized safetys. origional safety was just fine

    Who prefers to carry a revolver and why.

    I'm 61 years old and grew up with revolvers. Colts, S&W, Rugers, and Dan Wessons (DW for IHMSA shooting only). Several have come and gone, sure regret getting rid of an old blued colt and a few S&Ws but others replaced them. Since 1998 I've settled on the 3" Ruger SP101 in .357 magnum loaded...

    7mm-08 vs 7x57

    I own both, a round top Ruger 7x57 and a model 7 Remington. Both are excellent cartridges. The advantage the 7mm 08 has over the 7x57 is it can be had in a shorter action, lighter, and shorter oal length rifle. An 18" 7mm 08 duplicates what is obtainable in a 22" 7x57 using 139 or 140 gr...

    Ruger LCP

    I've had mine for 3 years and put in excess of 700 rounds through it. FMJ, various hollow points all with 100% reliability. It is what it is, not a target pistol for sure but light, handy, and easy to conceal. I use the DeSantis Nemisis pocket holster in my right front pocket. Full magazine...

    Does anyone carry "cross draw"?

    A good way to carry if mostly seated or if wearing a large backpack.

    Took my new Kimber Solo Carry to the range today

    So you're saying, "the gun functioned flawlessly except when it didn't" would be more correct?

    Which S&W for CCW?

    I voted for the 637 & agree with what rcmodel said. Get the .38 special and practice with standard loads, carry some well tested plus Ps. You will not shoot the j frames very often with full house .357s

    LCP fist impression and question

    Had some time last week to chronograph three different brands of the premium .380 ammo in my LCP. The air temp was 65 degrees, distance to 1st screen was 21' from the muzzle to get an impact velocity at 7 yards. The first was Wincherster .380 PDX1 with a 95gr bonded hollow point. Average...

    Why a bipod instead of a sling when prone?

    I still use a sling for big game hunting, though use a bipod for varmints. In my case it's how much more weight do you want to carry in steep, brushy country? I want as little as possible so the sling gets the nod. Varmint hunting is more open, flater country and lots more shooting at small...

    ruger shooting to the left

    I'm making some assumptions here: the distance was 20 yards when you were shooting the SP 101, the bullseye was 3" in diameter, so the group was hitting 2" left of the bull which would place the center of the group 3 1/2" left from point of aim. You didn't mention what loads you're using. You...

    Lead bullets in a .38 Snub - more cleanup?

    I've always thought it was easier cleaning up after shooting cast bullets than after shooting jacketed. My .357 loads are with Lyman's 358156, a gas checked design. Most of my .44 loads and the heavier loaded .45 colts are also a gas check design. The only problem I had with cast bullets was...

    LCP vs Bodyguard .380

    I have the LCP and am satisfied with it but after shooting the Smith feel it's a better designed firearm. I am not talking about the laser, infact I see no need for one for my use. The sights are better on the Smith and the trigger gives you 2nd strike capibilities where the LCP needs to rack...
