    4 inch 44

    I have a 329PD which weighs out at 26.7 oz on my office postal scale. It is a joy to pack all day in the hills, and is a fun .44 Special shooter. But, when you light up a 240 gr or heavier full powered magnum it ceases to be fun. I usually shoot 'cowboy level' handloads through it and enough...

    Anyone actyually have a Charter Arms 9mm Pitbull Revolver?

    I don't have the 9mm but I do have the .40 S&W version. So far (about 500 rounds) the functioning has been fine. I can easily hit fist sized targets at ranges of 15 to 25 yards with it. I've been shooting mostly 165 & 180 gr FMJ, but as it's a revolver reliability with various nose...

    Which of these subcompacts would you get?

    Put me in with those who haven't had a problem with their PF-9. I own & have carried a Ruger SR9c, a Kahr CW40, J frame S&W, SP-101, Makarov, SA XD45c, Glock 19, KT P3AT, as well as bigger autos & revolvers. The one I find myself carrying the most is my humble PF-9. It works, it's thin, it's...

    Retirement Gun Confusion

    What rcmodel said! Glocks are coming off the line daily. When is the last time you saw a S&W 12 Airweight anywhere for sale? For me, that's an easy question to answer. Best.

    Why I use a 9mm for carry instead of 45acp

    And the number of spirits that can dance on the head of a pin is . . . :rolleyes:

    Best decock in your opinion.

    I'm another fan of the Ruger decockers. It's a shame they don't make 'em anymore. I like the one Sig has but it's not easy to manipulate with the left hand and shooters w/ smaller hands / shorter thumbs cannot decock w/o repositioning their grip.

    Charter Arms 9mm rimless Pitbull is shipping now

    I have a Pitbull in .40 S&W, and have put, oh, about 200-250 rounds thru it so far. Got it for my birthday last month. It shoots to point of aim, fired brass extracts easily and the recoil is not bad. It kicks a little more than a .38 Special +P, but less than a .357 Magnum from my 3" SP-101...

    S&W 329 PD for bear protection

    The newer 329's come with a rubber grip that covers the backstrap and make it a little wider also. I have acquired a set for mine and they do make a difference in felt recoil. The 329 is still rowdy with magnums in it, but it's better with the new grip. Specials are no problem at all.

    Ruger p95 question

    No one should be shy about owning a P-95. It's one of the few guns that I would carry for protection without a break-in. I don't like doing that with any gun, but I have shot enough P-95s to trust the reliability of them to that degree. I have 2 of them. One is an older decocker model with...

    Do you reload?

    Everytime I'm empty! LOL! But seriously, yes I've been reloading for about 25 years. I'd feel lost if I couldn't roll my own and had to depend only on what the factory puts out.

    180gr vs 165gr in .40

    Location, location, location Shot placement trumps everything else in defensive shooting. So, while the differences in recoil when examined by the numbers is interesting, the above poster summed it up every eloquently when he said the best load to use is the one that you shoot the best.

    Guns Every Enthusiast Should Know About

    A .45-70 in some form. Preferably an original level load in an 'old-style' rifle for the nostalgia and then a heavy Garrett or handload in a modern rifle just to see what the grand old gentleman is really capable of.
