    Fudd; or Gun Culture Bias

    A serious question for the THR community: At what point are we alienating one another within the gun-owning community? I know that certain members here disparage, insult and belittle those of us who express different opinions regarding how the RKBA should apply, and that our individual...

    Question: AR or Old-School?

    So after five years with an infantry unit and a lot of shooting, carrying, cleaning and practicing with M4s, I somewhat swore off AR-15s, in that they really didn't do it for me shooting in terms of enjoyment and my budget didn't really have room for a then-costly rifle or ammo. For the last few...

    22 Rifle for Home/Defense?

    So I have a hypothetical question: I live in an apartment with a decent amount of space, but thin interior walls and neighbors and such. If (hypothetically) I were to set up a long gun for home defense, would a 22LR rifle (in my case, a Remington 597, or a lever-action carbine) be an effective...

    Whats the Difference Between a TCP (Taurus 738) and a Ruger LCP?

    Title says it all. Is there a reason to get an LCP if I already have a TCP?

    What Are Your Thoughts on SA Revolvers?

    So I'm thinking of scratching an itch with a SA revolver. I am considering a Heritage Rough Rider for plinking or an NAA minimag as a carry piece if I feel frisky. What are your thoughts?

    School me on Single Shots

    So I found and put eyes and hands on a Rossi Youth .243 single shot rifle with fiber optic sights and a scope mount, and it got me thinking....why not a single shot for centuries target shooting when I don't want to take the Mosin out? What's the deal with single shots? Your thoughts? It would...

    Thinking of Reducing My Collection...

    So we came through Harvey OK, but as we were packing for potential evacuation, I had to ask myself...why do I have so many guns? Between my wife and I, we have 2 Mossberg 500s (in 12 and 20), a pair of M44 Mosins we haven't shot in nearly four years, a pair of 22LR rifles that see fairly...

    I've Lost My Passion For The 2A

    So, over the last two years, I have found my faith and belief in the 2A badly shaken by the depressing and continuous string of mass shootings. I've heard the calls for mental health screening (which would disqualify hundreds of thousands of Americans on the basis of medical conditions from 2A...

    New Pistol Prospect: FEG AP-7.65?

    So, I'm giving my Tokarev to my best friend as a wedding gift because he's hit a run of bad luck and really likes Tokarevs and I'm somewhat bored of it. I have a 45ACP Rock Island 1911-CS, but I want another gun, small and light enough to carry in Oklahoma summer. I'd like to get some feedback...

    New Range in Oklahoma City

    For those of you who haven't heard yet, Henry's Guns out in Yukon has moved to Hwy. 66 and approximately Cimmarron Road (ish) on the north side of the freeway, and best of all- they're putting in a real outdoor firing range. I'm not sure of the dimensions on it, but from talking to the guys...

    Yugo M-57 Countdown

    Taurus M82 4'' surplus Update

    I took my Taurus out to the range again today- and was very pleasantly surprised. It handled 130gr WWB target 38SPCs and 38+P Speer Lawman SD ammo fantastically, with minimal muzzle flash and very controllable recoil, and it grouped within a few inches at 50 yards. Loud enough to know you're...

    Taurus PT709...your thoughts?

    I'm looking at the Christmas gift to myself, and I'm debating revolver vs automatic, specifically a Taurus M85 snubbie in 38SPC or a PT709 in 9mm. What are your thoughts? Should I do what my heart wants and get an XDs 45?

    Next Revolver...

    I took my Taurus M82 out to the range this weekend and loved it- a box of 38 Special was pretty sweet shooting, even +P. So, I'm wanting another revolver to complement the 4'' Taurus. It's got to be 38 +P capable or .357, and be suitable for carry. I'm open to brand, but I'd like to keep the...

    Taurus M82 4'' surplus

    I just traded my not-so-loved Bersa Thunder straight across for a Taurus M82 38 Special. Quite happy with it, locks up tightly, fits perfectly, and looks stylish, if a little worn. Any ideas for this veteran? Also, I was wondering if anyone might know where its from. The serial is NH990xxx...
