    Feedback on Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme?

    Thinking about getting into SAS. Already have a Ruger Vaquero and a Henry Big Boy in 45 LC, and thought this looked like a decent shotgun to dip my toes in. Other uses would be informal backyard clay shooting. Would probably get it in 12 Gauge, but the 20 Gauge would make a nice rabbit...

    Opinions on recent Smith and Wesson M&P 9c

    Any recent buyers of a S&W M&P 9c out there? Thinking about picking one up. I have the full size 9mm and I'm considering the compact model, due to commonality between the two and how it feels in my hand. I know a bad batch of their full sized models got out, but I haven't had any issues with...

    .45 Colt Load in a Henry - 200gr vs 250gr

    Hello All - I just picked up a Henry Big Boy in the .45 Colt, to go with the Ruger Vaquero that I inherited from my Father. Not knowing too much about this round (other than it's fun to shoot), has anyone noticed a preference in bullet weight between the 200 gr and the 250 gr loads, with...

    Round Butt vs Square Butt Model 10

    Thinking about picking up one of those S&W Model 10s on Bud's. What are the pros and cons of having a round butt or square butt on this revolver? Is it just a matter of personal preference? I would mainly use this as a range toy or night stand piece. Since I can't handle either model in...

    Thinking about selling my Sig P229

    I have a P229 in .40 S&W, with night sites and rail, night sites, 4 mags, and a Fob us holster. I've put in about 500 rounds through it max. What do you all think it is worth? I already have an XDm and a Glock in .40 S&W that I shoot better with. I like the looks of the Sig and how it feels...

    Special Journal to Track Your Firearms?

    I was just wondering what you all use to track your firearm possession. Is there a specific gun log you can buy or do you track them in a plain journal or spreadsheet? Thanks...

    Favorite Books on Shooting/Hunting?

    Not looking for as much on how to's per say (those are ok), but more like entertaining tales. My Dad really liked stories by Jack O'Connor. Was thinking about hitting up the bookstore tomorrow and would like your suggestions on some authors and titles. Thanks!

    Better grips to pocket carry a J frame?

    Looking for everyone's opinion on aftermarket grips for a J frame that still allows for pocket carry. The factory grips on my 638 are too small for me to shoot comfortably and accurately. Thanks!

    Which Color for Front Sight?

    In theory, Santa is going to bring me a set of Tech-Sights for my Ruger 10/22. In the meantime, I'd like to touch up the front sight with some paint. Was curious which color you all prefer to have your iron sights? Orange? Red? Neon Green or Yellow? Also, what kind of paint should I use...

    Need Input on a Ruger K77/22-vmbz 22 mag model 7019

    I'm in the market for a .22 Mag Riffle. I was originally looking at one of the Savages. My friend has a Ruger K77/22-vmbz 22 mag (model 7019). Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? It's more expensive than the Savage, but I'm willing to trade one of my Kimber Ultra Carry IIs for...

    What's wrong with the new Marlins?

    So I've been thinking about getting a .30-30 lever, mostly for giggles. I just read multiple posts in another thread that you should avoid any newly made Marlins. What changed that made their quality go down hill? As always, thanks for you insights.

    Smith & Wesson M&P15 MOE Carbine VS All Others

    Looking for some feedback on the Smith & Wesson M&P15 MOE Carbine. I really like the looks and how it feels compared to some of the other ARs I've tried. My only other 5.56 riffle is a newer Mini-14 (NRA Edition). It's a fun gun to shoot, but I have the AR bug in me now. This will initially...

    Help Understanding S&W 64-3 vs 64-5

    Please help the ignorant. My local gun shop has some Model 64s in great shape for $279. Some are -3s and some are -5s. From what I've researched - 64-3 1977-Gas ring change on 4" and 64-5 1988- Hammer nose bushing and yoke retention on Heavy barrel. So does this mean the -5s are...

    870 Express Quality

    Sorry if this has been asked recently, but has the quality of the Remington 870 Express gotten any better? I've read some stuff in the past that one should stay clear of the Express line. It's not tactical, but I have my eye on this one -...

    Any reason why I should pick a .17 HRM over a .22 Mag?

    Since I live in Ohio, this would strictly be used for short range hunting varmint/pest. I already have a .270 and with a 100 gr. soft point, will destroy a ground hog. I just want something with a little more umph that a .22 lr past 100 yards. I know the .17 is a flatter shooter, but looking...

    Fair price for a Smith SW40F

    I have a guy at work who wants to sell his Sigma SW40F. He hasn't given me a price yet cause he doesn't even know much about it. Was curious if $200 seems like a fair price for the gun and two 15 round mags. I would like to take it to the rang first to try it out as well. This would be used...

    Carrying a Beretta 950BS Condition Two

    Does anyone know how safe it is to carry the Beretta 950BS in Condition 2 - keeping the hammer down on a live round? FYI - Before I get slammed for carrying a .25ACP, I typically carry a 38 snub or my Glock 19. I know it's not the best CCW piece, it's beats harsh words when you can't pack...

    Snubby biting my trigger finger

    Just curious if this happens to anybody. I have a S&W 442 Airweight that likes to rip out a chunk of skin on the right side of my trigger finger. It usually happens after 20+ rounds. I have a Colt Cobra, Ruger SP101, and a S&W 586 snub and none of them do this. I have no clue what's going on...

    No New Combo Guns?

    Just curious why someone hasn't come out with an updated M6 Scout or a combo like the old Savage 24F. Am I the only one who think these would sale since there's an increased interest in survival weapons and gear? Or am I off base here? Does anyone have any scuttlebutt?

    NEF Pardner Pump vs Stevens 350

    Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times, but I was curious on everyones thoughts on the NEF/H&R Pardner Proctector, which is on sale for $180 vs a Savage/Stevens 350 Pump Security w/Sights, which is also on sale for $199. I'm kind of leaning toward the Stevens since it has the riffle...
