i just got a letter from one of online stores I bought guns previously. Their customer database including name, address and credit card information have been compromised. The funny thing is I received this notice via U.S. Postal mail and not from emails where I received weekly sales specials...

I am a data geek so I could not help myself when I found the handgun test data on various ammo brands penetration & expansion by Lucky Gunner. I have "rearranged" the data format to make it more clear for me on what it means. Perhaps others on this board will find it useful for their ammo...

I spent a big part of yesterday reading what everyone think a good carry handgun in the woods. It's what I do to "rationalize" that I need another gun. Obviously the recommendations were all over the place from 22LR to 500S&W, most posters have obviously never been to the woods let alone...

They are expensive :uhoh: Are they worth it as home defense rounds? Some say #1 or #2 bird shots are more suitable. What say you?

Hello THR, I have a fondness for revolvers and have 686 and 19 for .357 magnum and a 638 j-frame. I would think a model 60 in .357 would make a good CC gun when it's comforting to carry that powerful 357. But I don't read much about people recommending it while many own & recommend the SP-101...

I was talking to a more knowledgeable co-worker about cleaning rifle barrel today, he made a comment about it depends on how you are trained. If you were trained like a marine, you'll clean the gun after every shooting and keep it clean. But if you were a competitive target shooter, you'd...

Hi THR, When i look at the bullet weight in popular combat rifles, 52 - 77 gr for M4/ AR-15, 123 gr for AK-47, etc, i started to wonder why are they are lighter than the popular SD handgun ammunition, say 9mm to .45ACP and anyrhing in between. i've read arguments such as handguns do not...

Hi guys, I am fortunate that the land prices around here borders on affordable that I am considering buying my own land for hunting, mostly on deers & turkeys. I can use your advices as to what to look for when shopping for land. Is there a minimum acreage I need to have? Having streams on...

If so, what is your reason/ rationale for owning 2 same rifles? My motivation for asking is that 6 months ago I acquired a rifle from a LGS (during Sandy Hook panic), but now I see an ad from another LGS for the same gun but at a much lower price. :fire: I don't know if I can "justify" owning...

I have been watching a National Geographic channel show called the "Life Below Zero" (LBZ) where these folks live north of the artic circle how they hunt & trap for food. On hunting I noticed the weapon of choice seem to violate the conventional wisdom from here at THR. One guy (Erik ?) was...

I have a 2 inch model 19 that I am considering for occassional carry in the woods. I know it is plenty adequate against 2-legged varmints, but how is it against 4-legged creatures? Here in the south, I don't expect grizzly but occassional black bears, mountain lions, etc. are possible. I plan...

I ordered both the recoil spring and magazaine spring from Wolf for my P6 to change out the old ones. On the Wolf websit, it was listed at P225 but I'd figured since P6 and P225 are interchangeable it should be okay. After I received the springs, I disassemble the P6 and compare the springs...
