Howdy all....have a question. I am thinking about adding yet another 1911 to the family. I already own Colt, Kimber, and a Sprinfield Armory LOADED model. I want a Champion, but have heard they have been troublesome. My LOADED has been flawless, and truthfully....better-spent money...

I was looking through my gun safe, and ran across an old gem. I know...sucks to have a lot of guns, and you "forget" about a few of them. This one is a real lady. It is a pinned-non-recessed Smith & Wesson Model 65, 4" revolver. I bought it about 16 years ago from a gun shop in Tucson...it...

I was reading the latest issue of HANDGUNS. My wife got me a subscription to the giant advertisement...I prefer AMERICAN HANDGUNNER, but heck...it is still a gun mag. Anyway, Walt Rauch...about the only good thing left in HANDGUNS was talking about how we, as gun toters, talk .45, shoot 9mm...

I am not a fan of Ruger centerfire autos, nor am I a fan of their DA revolvers...they seem to lack the grace of a Smith or a Colt. I won't argue that they are bull-strong, and reliable. My 10/22 and my Mk I II and III .22's are favorites of mine, and always seem to be gobbling up bricks of...

I just watched AMERICAN JUSTICE on A&E. It dealt with so-called "vigilantes". The Bernie Goetz issue has been done to death, but there was a segment that really hit me, and I wonder what some others would do. A karate instructor kidnapped his 11-year old "prized pupil" and took him from...

I had to get some cash from the ATM tonight. I almost came away with more than I went for. I always use a drive-up ATM because I feel exposure is lessened, and you have the car around you for limited cover from walk-up assaults. It was just about 9:30pm when I left the house to go to...

I did. I traded a Glock 19, of which I have several, for a Smith & Wesson Model 681 L-Frame .357 and a little cash to balance the deal. I had been looking for a model 65 or 13 4" .357 for a while. I hadn't really thought about a 586 or 686, though I have owned both. I got a message...

...not just because she is a great partner and an awesome Mom, which she surely is, but because she has listened and learned! When we met, she knew I was a former cop and still carried a gun. She said..."I have never been around guns, but since you have them, I should know how to handle them...

Are there any Phoenix area shooters who would like to do a Saturday morning breakfast and shoot-em-up before the sun turns into a blow torch? We could meet up at one of our local ranges, and drop some lead into some ner-do-well targets, thus making the area safe from the "great paper...

A short history. Since November I have been afflicted, and since been recovering from Guillian Berre Syndrome. It is an auto-immune disease that debilitates you, and can put you on a ventilator. I did not progress that far, but I was confined to a wheelchair for a while. I am walking again...

I just bought two Smith & Wesson Model 10 3" TAPERED barrel revolvers from J&G Sales in Prescott AZ. The tapered bbl is half way between the old skinny barrel and heavy barrel. I believe Smith called them the MEDIUM barrel. They are french contract buy-backs. So, one may assume they have...

As a former LEO, I am allowed to be critical of two so-called professionals I have met in the last month. Q: What peice of equipment does an officer in uniform NEVER encumber, or restrict his/her own access to? A: His/Her GUN! This afternoon I saw an officer with a pair of GLOVES...

Okay all...forgive me if I am not typing well. I just got out of the hospital after 10 days. The day before Thanksgiving, I was hospitalized with a condidtion called "Gilliand Barre Syndrome". To put it briefly, it is an extreme acute inflammatory polyneuromyopathy that affects one's ability...

Okay...here we go. Who carries a gun in church? In the days where christians are being targeted, and increasingly hated...why not carry in church? My pastor knows I am always armed, and even welcomes my Glock and I. We keep it quiet, but he has asked me to sit by the door to the...

Okay, there it is...I admit it. I am a gun snob. This was just pointed out to me by my best friend. I am easy going...and not much into status symbols. I wear a Timex, when I could buy a more expensive watch. I drive a GMC, when I could have bought an Escalade. I really don't care...

I was at a large grocery store yesterday...I really didn't want to be there, but the baby likes to get fed regularly. I witnessed one of the worst examples of a person with a CCW shooting their mouth off. Number one, it was a woman who was the "shooter". She was about 5'6" and 350lbs...

Hi... I am fairly new to Mesa. I am from Tucson, and am looking for some shooting pals. I am a handgunner...prefer to shoot cf autos, and .22lr Rugers (loads of fun for 10 bucks or less!). I am 36, married and a proud Papa. Former fed leo, and card carrying good guy. Interested...

Does anyone out there have experience with the Beretta Tomcat .32acp? I am looking for a DEEP concealment peice. The Beretta has obvious quality going for it...but I am looking for anyone who has, or has had one, and can give me a no-nonsense opinion. Thanks in Advance! Sean
