I must admit to a real curiosity about the Razel tool. Some discussion about the smaller models but not so much about the largest: the SS7 Razel. Anyone out there bought one; used one; have any experience with one? Would care to read any and and all comments on this tool.:p

I have a new Ruger Alaskan in 454/45. The Alaskan has a short barrel (2.5") and I wonder if any of you developed any loads for either the 454 or the 45 taking into account the short barrel? Any and all comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My purpose in initiating this thread is to find out what the similarities/differences between these two trigger systems might be. :scrutiny: If there are among you those who have tried both I sure would welcome any qualitative statements that you might wish to add. Thanks in advance to all...

Just bought a NIB S&W 1911Sc and took it out for an impromptu range test. Also took a new SIG GSR and a 2-year old Wilson Protector just for the sake of comparison. The first very, very nice thing was that we (my son-in-law and I) put 200 rounds of 230 grain FMJ by UMC through each gun. (Now...

I carry a full size 1911 "cocked and locked" in an IWB holster and have become quite comfortable with it carrying that way - although it took some getting used to. I am curious if there are others among you who carry a 1911 "cocked and locked", but in some other way than in a holster e.g. a...

Just bought some fairly inexpensive UMC ammo for my 9mm and 45 ACP pistols. I have used this stuff for years and it has always been 100% reliable. That raised a question in my mind as to what the real difference(s) between expensive and inexpensive handgun ammo might be. I handload rifle...

It really felt good, the "slimming down" really helps with the feel of the pistol. NIB price here in Oregon was $469.99 - don't know how that compares with the rest of the country. While I was "fondling" it a guy stepped up and bought it. Overall a very, very attractive gun. Are we sure it...

It was not too long that the pages of this (and others too) forum had much discussion and comment on titanium/scandium hand guns. Now, I find very little or no mention of these weapons. What happened? Are the TiScan guns simply a fad or what? Why? Cost, heavy recoil, waining interest...

Sometime this coming summer my wife and I are planning to drive to Alaska. Will be using a ferry part of the way but will still be driving too. Much of the trip will be in British Columbia. Would like to take along a revolver but is there any way that this can be done legally in BC?

I just got my concealed carry permit for the state of Washington. Already licensed in Oregon. Just out of curiosity how many states are you CCW'd for? Good shooting;)

Just received the holster that Eric of HBE built for my new CZ P-01. http://www.hbeleatherworks.com/ Just want to show off a bit. Since the P-01 is relatively new few holster makers have holsters readily available. Eric is the exception. Note that it is an IWB model with two clips on the...

What follows is an email I recently received from a friend who, in turn, received it from one of his friends. So, I can't verify the statistics in it but it really had an impact on my friend, Bill. Bill is a close friend who has been so anti gun and pro control it is amazing that we even...

I am much interested in learning about Lazergrips. I have only read about them and tried them on the plastic gun displays in my local gun shop. Are they any good? What kind(s) of gun have you tried them with? Any and all info much appreciated. Who among all you fine THR folk has...

I must admit to quite a bit of curiosity about the new Para Ordnance pistols. I have several classic 1911's and really enjoy them. But, because I really, really, need another pistol I'm trying to gather some good information about Para Ordnance pistols. I sure would be inerested in hearing...

I was recently perusing an article in a gun mag in which the author is touting a couple of 9mm pistols and the 9mm caliber in general. In the article he makes the following statement, --and with modern ammunition the difference in "stopping power" between the 9mm and .45 is irrelevent. In your...

Lot of discussion about guns and their prices. I have paid as high as $2000 for a high end 1911. So much for a "good, expensive gun"! But I would like to hear some discussion and recommendations for a "good, cheap gun". Note that I have set absolutely no criteria for either "cheap" or "good"...

Although I have been at this gun stuff for a long time I have never owned a so-called mouse gun. Never felt the urge/need to have one. But, after reading so many posts about "mouseguns" I must admit to a certain amount of curiousity. Having said that, what, in your opinion, is the absolutely...

Do you have a thought out, well communicated home defense plan that everybody in the house knows? What does your wife do? What do your kids do? What do you do? If you hear something in your house to you go to it, or do you wait for it to come to you. When I took my CHL class here in Oregon...

I have a S&W 386. FYI that's a 3"bbl., 7-shot 38/357 TiScan. I have had difficulty with getting the cylinder completely clean on the outside. Just can't get it really clean. Always seems to be some external residue that just won't come off. Have been using Eezox as my primary cleaner and a...

From time to time it is expedient for me to carry "off body" as it were. I've found that a Bagmaster Belt Pistol Pack works for me. It is padded and rectangular so it does not look like a fanny pack. It has extra outer compartments so that I can carry a wallet or a notebook too. It also has...
