Yeah, I just saw that thing on Taurus's website and came on here to see what the buzz was on it. You all pretty much summed up what I think -- stupid looking and OUCH! I'm certainly not a Taurus basher, I carry a model 82 every day, but was looking for a shorter one after my wife said those 6...

I tend to be an "American Express" carrier -- "Don't leave home without it" My Taurus is on me as I type this in my dining room at 1:35 AM. It comes off to shower, sleep, go into a post office, and a few other rare occasions. As a post my son saw on Facebook said, "A gun is like a parachute...

Thanks for the info guys. Just to clarify, I have no intention of this being my primary carry gun, that duty goes to my Taurus .38 which can and always will shoot better than me. I was just curious, as a gun that hits nothing is not much fun, but a gun that can hit consistently if and only if...

Hello? Does anyone have an answer for me? There's some real revolver experts on here and I was hoping someone could tell me if accuracy is possible with this gun. Will training and practice overcome the gun's deficits?

If by I-J you mean Iver Johnson, I don't think so. I've been told it's a 1914-1915 "bicycle" variant H&R vest pocket revolver. whether it has a coil mainspring or not I can't say -- I've never had the grips off. I guess my real question is -- is it possible to get accuracy with practice with...

I have used spent shells as snap caps before, especially on a rimfire I was working on. Is that a safer alternative to true dryfiring? I realize that checking whether it is loaded or not becomes more complicated when the "snap caps" look the same as real shells, but other than that is it ok...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't grow up shooting much and love my revolver (a now somewhat beat from carrying Taurus 82) It shoots way better than I do, but with some of these tips, I may start to catch up. :D I'm always very hesitant to dry fire -- is it absolutely impossible to...

I don't have an extensive collection like many of you, but the only 4" I have is my daily carrying companion, a Taurus 82 in .38 Special. The first time I ever shot it (to that point I had probably fired less than 25 rounds from a handgun if you don't count BB guns) I emptied the cylinder from...

I did check on the legality of the pigeon thing with an officer of the Game Commission. He said that animals like rats, etc are not covered under game laws and thus can be destroyed without consequence and can even be shot legally with air rifles. Pigeons, he said, are listed federally as...

I like the idea of recklessly firing in self defense -- that's an image I can't get out of my head -- and there are redneck locals around here who would do it! Anyway, I'm not familiar with what you mean by "preemption laws" What are they? I do not live in Pennsburg, but I grew up there, and...

I was researching the weapons laws in a local town very near my home to determine what was legal for pest control there (pigeon issues) My wife looked up the laws online and read them to me. I had to read it myself to believe it. Here is the law: No person shall, except in necessary...

Actually, I've never encountered aluminum or glass -- all of mine were some sort of steel -- magnetic and rings nice and loud and clear like good steel, not the dull thud of aluminum. I tried AOL freebie discs that came in the mail first, but they tended to explode after one hit. Those things...

As was said earlier, check your local laws before using an air rifle for pest control. Shooting squirrels in PA with an air gun will cost you about $200 a piece if you get caught (and all you need is one tree hugging neighbor to get caught) That said, my boys and I shoot airguns in the...

So now I have to figure out how to post a picture to make it official? Mine is 1938 and has the crest on it yet (didn't get ground off like a lot of them did when Germany overran Czechoslovakia) Has the stupid importer marks, but if that's the worst I can think to say about it, it's not too bad...

I'm not sure if I can join or not. The only czech I have right now is a vz-24 8X57 rifle. I've eyeballed many CZs and I think my next gun purchase will be a CZ 82, but funds are tight right now. I figure I'll get that and maybe use that to replace my wife's carry gun (an obnoxious H&R...

H&R made a lot of those pistols with the .32 S&W ctg(or ctge) marking. If it's an H&R, call in THR member "32 Magnum"

I remember hearing of someone shooting next to a squirrel with a muzzleloader and taking it out with the concussion of the bullet. Maybe someone could be killed or at least seriously hurt by a shell going past their head. Not going to take an arm off though.

I won't deny that there was some intent to "stir up a bee's nest" although that wasn't the entire purpose. Obviously, unless one chooses their favorite guns based on drawing their names out of a hat, the Glock and S&W are in a totally different league than Jennings, etc, and Rohm. I think...

And to some people, in some areas especially, hunting is a necessary source of food. Food is a necessity, what Ms. Fluke was testifying about is a desire, not a necessity. I'd like to know where I can go to support the ammunition coverage bill. Maybe we could get them to pay for a hunting...

I will be perfectly honest in saying I'm not really sure what a troll post is. I had assumed you just meant I was trying to stir up trouble, but someone told me it has something to do with disagreeing with everyone. If you could let me know what you are calling me, I'd appreciate it.
