    New Glock 21

    I’m no great shooter and I prefer single action revolvers over other handguns. Nevertheless, I just bought a Gen 4 Glock 21 because I like .45 caliber. I don’t usually post photos, especially photos of targets but I was kinda impressed with this pistol on my first outing today. This was 11...

    LC9S Pro?

    Does anyone know why Ruger discontinued the no-manual safety “Pro” version of the LC9S? It is not offered as an option in the EC9S either. Just curious.

    .380 fmj

    Lately I've been interested in .380s of all kinds, older, classic blowback pistols, and more modern locked breech pocket pistols. Reading about them and the ammo people use in them led me to these thoughts, which I thought I'd ask about here: Many people argue that .380 is best served with...

    Question regarding pressure and .45 convertibles

    I am curious about this. It is recommended that SAA clones such as Ubertis be kept to standard pressure .45 Colt loads which is, I believe, 14,000 psi. Some say that Uberti revolvers can safely handle up to 17,000 psi without problems. My question is regarding the extra .45 acp cylinder that...

    Question regarding cocked action on side-by-side hammerless shotgun

    On a modern but inexpensive side-by-side like a Stoeger or Remington Spartan/Baikal, coil springs are used. Many people store the guns with the action released either using snapcaps or simply dry-firing on an empty chamber in order to release spring tension on the firing mechanism. Other...

    Speer Short Barrel 158 Grain 357 Mag GDHP?

    Stopping by my local gun shop today, I picked up what I first thought was a regular box of Gold Dot 158 .357. It turned out to be something new – 158 Short Barrel GDHP, product code 23960. Looked on Speer’s LE website and 2007 catalog and found no reference. Does anyone have any specs on this...

    45 ACP Revolver Question

    A question for you guys knowledgable about pressures and such. Ruger from time to time offered the original Vaquero in a 45LC/45ACP convertible. Now that the Vaquero is somewhat downsized, I read that it can take .45 Colt loads up to 20,000 psi but not the 32,000 psi loads of the original...

    Pros and Cons Between Original and New 357 Vaquero

    I understand the differences between the original and the new Vaquero but I have an original Vaquero in .357 and have a chance to purchase a 2nd one just like it. Considering that I might play with CAS a bit down the road, what are the perceived advantages and disadvantages of one over the...

    Two Rare GP100s

    On my regular Saturday drop-in at the old gun shop, they showed me two items (new) they had just gotten in: a six inch GP100 with half-lug and a three inch, full lug GP100 with adjustable sights. Both are stainless steel. Don't exactly know the story but they had ordered 3 of the half-lug GPs...

    Winchester Moving to Utah??

    I was leafing through the latest issue of Shooting Times and noticed a "shooter's update" blurb for a Winchester Model 94 Timber Scout Takedown model with references to the shot show, etc. I know there are still things in the pipeline, both products and articles etc., but what caught my eye was...
