    Glock 21 kaBOOM! Should I Buy One?

    I was considering a Glock 21 .45 ACP. While looking into it, I ran across people who had experienced "kaBOOM's" with them. As in, a catastrophic failure of the gun blowing up. After looking into that, it seems that the culprit may be the partially unsupported case mouth, although this is also up...

    Shotgun for HD and hunting HELP!

    Now that duck season's about over here, it's time to evaluate inventory. Up until now I've been using two Remington 870's. One would consistently lock up and I wouldn't be able to work the action at all. I know that sounds weird and I even took it to gunsmiths several times. They did they're...

    S&W Model 25 .45 ACP Problems?

    I have a guy offering to sell me his S&W M25 .45 ACP revolver. He hasn't shot it much and I inspected it. The only thing he said that was "wrong" with it was that the throat were oversized at about .456, which could affect accuracy. He also said a lot of m25's were like that until some of the...

    Ruger Revolvers Longevity?

    I've been thinking about buying a SRH Alaskan in .454 Casull. I have no intentions of shooting much .454 out of it, it would be mostly .45 Colt. How long do yall think the frame would last in terms of rounds fired of standard pressure .45 Colt? As a bonus question, I recently heard of a guy...

    Smith and Wesson 625PC: Any Good?

    Looking for a good, all steel, long lasting .45 ACP revolver. I've read up on the 625 JM and I see they have a few come out that haven't been caught by QC at S&W. So I am looking at the 625PC. Are these ok? Any issues I should know about? To clarify, this is the Performance Center Model...

    Is it too Loud: .357 Magnum

    I had a post up a few days ago detailing how I accidentally shot a .357 indoors without hearing protection and it rattled my cage to the point where I was looking for a .45 ACP revolver, concerned about being disoriented in a half awake daze in the night if I ever had to defend my home...

    Should I Buy Colt Series 70

    A guy is offering to sell me his Colt Series 70 1911 for $1,100. It is in good condition, the only finish wear I can see is on the top and bottom back corners of the trigger, which is normal for a 1911 that's been shot even a few times. He is the original owner, and he bought in in 1976. I...

    CZ75b frame life?

    I'm more of a revolver guy, but I'm considering buying a CZ75b 9mm. I like the idea of an all steel DA/SA 9mm known for durability and reliability. I've heard of people that shoot old WW2 submachine gun ammo loaded to blistering hot velocities, and their old CZ's seem to hold up just fine...

    Help Me Pick a Caliber

    I've been reading THR forums for some time now, and I just decided to make an account and post. Hey all! :D Up until yesterday my all-around self defense handgun was my Smith and Wesson Model 28-2 6" in .357 Magnum. Well, yesterday I was at the indoor shooting range by myself. I loaded up my...
