Thanks Jerry, that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. According to that data, it looks like barrel length is the most important factor, even more so than how big/strong of a caliber it is, which I somewhat expected, but didn't realize it would be an even more dramatic factor than...

Hey guys, Over the years, I have seen lots of people make casual mentions of how some specific guns are much louder or quieter than each other, depending on the model. For example, I have seen a lot of people say that the absolute loudest gun they've ever shot was some specific model of...

when you say "any older smith", roughly what's your definition of "older" 1999? 1949? 1899? I literally have no clue whatsoever about this topic. Even just a ballpark number range would help me out immensely. I know nothing whatsoever about these guns, with the exception of the...

Hey everyone, So, basically I like the look of the more old fashioned "skinny barrel" revolvers, the way they used to look a few decades ago (the ones that look more "cowboy" style rather than "tactical") The problem is, I am only 25 years old, and worse still, I have only just recently become...

So, actually I just went back to Turner's just now to go check up on the Taurus prices etc, and it looks like I must have gotten myself confused or misread something, cuz the Ruger gp100's there weren't $800 or anything they were actually just in the high $500's/low $600's for the blued-finish...

It's extremely far away, but, it still might be worth it. I'll have to check the exact price on the Tauruses at turner's to work the math on it. Last time I just checked out the Rugers and S&W's mostly, so I don't remember the prices on the tauruses, I just remember the Ruger was wayyyyyyyyy...

Ah crap. Well then if its like $150 or whatever for the transfer fee then I guess there's no point for me to buy it online then, since then even tho its like $350 on buds thats still gonna be like $500 or something by the time I pay all the fees and stuff. bleh oh well I hate california...

Err, actually now I'm confused. I think I read that a "ppt" fee is like $30 or $35, and that they are required by law to not charge any more than that for a ppt fee. However, I read somewhere that their ffl fee is like $150 or something massive like that. So, I guess my question then...

Wow, thanks for the tip, I checked the site out and indeed it looks like it has pretty amazing prices, and out of all the guns I've looked at on there so far, I haven't seen any complaints against the site (complaints against the guns, yes, but not against the Bud's website itself I mean), so I...

oh wells :(

What are some good, large/well known/reputable online gun stores btw, cuz I think I might actually buy this thing online, since it looks like the prices are just a little too ridiculously inflated at the gun stores here in Los Angeles for me to just swallow the burn for no reason when I can just...

Yea I actually got curious after I made that last post, to the extent that I went on google and started researching to see what the cheapest gun shops are in Los Angeles. From my brief google-session the general gist of it seems to be that ALL gun shops in los angeles are SUPER duper ultra...

If it was 500 brand new it would already be sitting next to me on the couch here as I write this post. At Turners it was well over $700 for one of those I'm not sure if maybe Turners is a chain that makes a habit of massively overcharging (although, from what I've seen of people mentioning...

Well, the average .38 special round has a muzzle energy of about 200 lb/ft (some a little more some a little less, but the average is right at about 200 lb/ft) The average 9mm round has a muzzle energy of about 400 lb/ft of energy (some a little more some a little less, on avg about 400 lb/ft...

So I was browsing guns at Turner's Outdoorsman yesterday and ended up picking up a cheap knife sharpener on my way out. Those of you who shop/browse there a lot might even know or have the one I"m talking about. It's by Lansky, and it's a small, red, two-sided sharpener that has both a...

Arghhhh!!!!! I feel even more confused now than I did before all of this lol! Everyone telling me opposite things. Some saying s&w is beyond-godlike and that Taurus is a total joke, and then others saying the quality differences are nearly non-existant or even that Taurus is superior in qc...

You say you had to send in some of your tauruses that had issues. Could you elaborate on what the issues were, and also if they were taurus revolvers, or what type of handgun they were?

I heard that semi-auto pistols generally have a slightly lessened recoil as a result of their slides getting blown back by the recoil as part of the action, which absorbs some of the kick, with all else being equal (like, if you were comparing a revolver vs a semi-auto pistol and the lb/ft force...

By "less nice" do you mean about stuff that actually matters as far as actual shooting, like, they are less safe from having weaker/unreliable parts etc or do you mean just literally like looks-wise or something that they look less nice, and have a less cool sounding name, but...

Thanks for the info and also for the advice, I appreciate it very much. I think I probably will end up doing that (trying them out first before I actually pick one to buy), since quite a few of them felt nice to hold, and have similar prices thus leaving me unsure which specific one to get...
