    Which Pocket Auto?

    I'm looking to get a pocket auto for concealed carry. Prime candidates include the Ruger LCP, Kel-Tec P-32 or P-3AT, or NAA Guardian in .32 or .380. (A Seecamp may be a bit too hard to come by at a reasonable price, from what I gather?) I'd appreciate any recommendations or insights from folks...

    Any recommendations for a good IWB holster for a S&W 642, preferably synthetic material with some kind of retention strap? Is the one offered by Uncle Mike's any good?

    New to CCW--Tips?

    I'll be getting my CCW soon. Any tips for an experienced shooter new to carrying concealed? These things I already know will need special attention: * The Four Rules * Local law * Regular practice * Use of a quality holster But beyond those? Any sorts of practical things you didn't think of...

    Centerfire Rugers any good?

    How do Ruger centerfire autoloaders stack up against the competition? The price is right for me, but how's the quality/reliability?

    AWB Didn't Reduce Violence (news article)

    http://washingtontimes.com/national/20040816-114754-1427r.htm Much will be common knowledge around here, but it's a good article to show to doubters.

    Who cares about the RKBA?

    In the Nov/Dec issue of American Handgunner, Jeff Snyder has a thought-provoking column on Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine and the general public's perception of gun owners and typical RKBA arguments. I think Snyder is right when he says that when judged "by contemporary American norms of...

    So, we're terrorists now? (Kerry and AWB)

    Here's an article about John Kerry harping on the AWB expiration, laying into Bush for it and saying, "Let me be very clear. I support the Second Amendment. I've been a hunter all my life. But I don't think we need to make the job of terrorists any easier." Kind of implies that anyone who buys a...

    Newbie Needs Pistol Cleaning Help

    After lots of range rentals, I bought my first gun recently, a .22lr Ruger 22/45 autoloader with a stainless barrel. Any advice for how and how often to clean it? Assume total ignorance on my part of terms and techniques and tools, though as someone who's been shooting a while, I of course...

    Need Ruger 22/45 Help

    I recently bought a Ruger 22/45, which is a really fun gun to shoot, but a bear to reassemble after stripping. I can break it down in two seconds flat, and putting it back together is also quick, with one problem: 9 times out of 10, the hammer strut doesn't seem to engage/seat in the mainspring...

    One Revolver for Home and Range?

    Any recommendations for a reliable, reasonably priced DA revolver that could adequately serve for both home defense and casual indoor range target practice? Ideally, it would: * be powerful enough to stop an intruder, as opposed to just pissing him off ;) * be comfortable and controllable...

    Any recommendations for a quality, reasonably priced (approx. $300-400 new) 22LR double-action revolver for casual target shooting? Taurus has some models that seem to fit the bill--any thoughts on those? Thanks.

    Action against Editorials

    This thread among others got me thinking: what's the use of many people here preaching to the converted on the RKBA issue and constantly venting spleen against so-called "antis" with a string of nasty names? In addition to voting, why not speak out in a polite, informed manner in broader forums...

    Ruger 22/45 Mag Question

    I'm a fairly new shooter looking for a .22 autoloader for casual target practice. I'm considering a Buck Mark, Neos, or Ruger 22/45 atm. I got to rent a 22/45 (don't know the exact model--P512?--had a bull barrel around 5") at a range recently. I liked a fair number of things about it but didn't...
