    I bought it!

    And the plastic used in a Glock ain't the same plastic used in my Savage 93 FVSS. The stock forearm flexed horribly. So much so, it was replaced immediately with a Boyds. However, never have I been too concerned about the cold and any plastic on guns. I try to avoid both. I grew up shooting...

    .357 Mag Double Action control schooling?

    When doing the pencil trick ^^^, it helps if you wrap the pencil with masking tape until it's almost the bore size and still moves freely in the barrel.

    38 special or .380?

    I spent 7 years in the US Army during the 70's, 3 in combat arms and 4 in military intelligence to include tours in Germany, Korea and some time stateside. Never did I see any officer, MP or the provost marshal get issued anything other than a 1911. And there seemed to be a low opinion of...

    How many of you use your carry gun for HD

    I generally follow this ^^^^^ crowd and therefore voted "no." However, sometimes laziness gets ahold of me and I just slap whatever I'm carrying into the nightstand.

    RE: My question concerning the 357 lever action rifles

    Although the 38 Super’s 124 gr ballistics get close to the run-of-the-mill (not heavy) 357 Mag ballistics out of pistol length barrels, I think you'll be disappointed if you're expecting the gain a 357 Mag gets when fired from a carbine length barrel. However, I see nothing wrong with having...

    .22 magnum duds

    I had the same problem with a new FA Model 97 w/22 Mag cylinder. The ammo was okay (worked in a S&W 648). FA sent me a stronger hammer spring and all was well after that.

    M1 Carbine for home defense

    Not if the 357 is out of a carbine. However, I do think a M1 30 Carbine makes a great home defense weapon. My dad got one through some NRA related surplus sales in the early 1960's. And for 35 years, it was our family's home defense weapon. It stayed in the corner of the front closet...

    Winchester Ranger: Too many QC problems, will no longer purchase **pics**

    RANGER T-SERIES Lot Numbers RANGER T-SERIES Lot Numbers are stamped (imprinted without ink) as shown in the red circle on the RANGER T-SERIES flaps. This only done on of the two flaps. Most commercial ammo is done as shown below, on the inside of one of the two flaps. Personally, I've...

    WARNING! Defective Winchester Ammo!

    Over the past 15 years, I've seen assorted problems like this from Remington, Federal and Hornady too. I always inspect a complete box of ammo from any lot, from any manufacture before I go to the range with it. If there's anything wrong with it, I note the lot and just don't buy any more of...

    Breakfast at Perkins: Revolver Down!

    I've never had any problem with any of the assorted pocket holsters that I own. But many years ago, I had a revolver fall out of an improperly sized thumbsnap leather holster on to the floor of a large grocery store chain. I was bending over to get something on the lower shelves. No discharge...

    The Marlin 1894 Club

    I'm trying to join the 1894 Club. But it just hasn't worked out yet. I ordered and received an 1894CSS (357 Mag.) just as the plant was relocating. It wouldn't chamber a round. I could feed one into the chamber with my fingers but I couldn't cycle one in with the lever. The dealer replaced it...

    .357mag LEVERevolution

    Out of my Contender w/20" MGM barrel, they'll print a clover leaf group at 50 yds. I have yet to try them out of a decent revolver.
