    9mm vs. .45 (Not The Typical Debate)

    I'm in the market for my first handgun and I thought I had my heart set on a .357 revolver however as the date draws near to pick my first purchase I find myself reconsidering a semi automatic. I've only ever fired firearms once, at an NRA pistol course in VT last August, so I have limited...

    Hard Hat Treatment On A Revolver

    Specifically a 686 Plus. I tried contacting the company several months ago regarding the proposition but never received a response. I'm going to try again but, in the meantime, was wondering if anyone here has a semi-auto with the treatment and if they know of any reason it wouldn't work on a...

    How important is...

    it to you to buy American? I ask because I've been debating with myself over buying a S&W 686+ or Ruger GP100 for my first handgun. If buying American wasn't important to me I'd lean much closer to buying the Ruger. Luckily, well not really, I have over a year before I have to make the decision.

    .22 Mouse Gun

    Ever since I saw Driven To Kill several years ago I've wanted a small .22 to toy around with at the range. Seeing as I can pick up a used Taurus PT22 for around $100 is it worth the gamble? I've seen a lot of negative reviews from people but also enough decent ones to make me consider it...

    Ruger GP100 vs. S&W 686+ (Sheer Durability)

    Based on personal aesthetic preference, price and reviews I've narrowed down my very first handgun purchase to either of the aforementioned revolvers. I have an NRA handgun training course scheduled in VT on August 4th which will allow me hands on experience with, hopefully, one or both of them...

    Anyone handled the Fox Elishewitz Invader?

    I'm thinking of getting it as one of my two quality EDC knives. I love the look but there's not a whole lot of info on their site regarding the specs, so I come to you fine folks. A quick, hands on, review would be nice.

    Leathergun Leather Works

    I'll be celebrating a new job by purchasing a .357 lever action rifle within a month or two and am looking to outfit it with one of the beautiful slip on butt stock covers and slings from Levergun Leather Works. Both will include ammo loops, enough for a full reload. I'm trying to find out if...

    Snap Caps

    I know that a lot of people use snap caps in their semi-auto pistols to prevent damage with excessive dry firing but is the same precaution recommended for a revolver?

    Ruger/S&W Size Comparison

    I'll be buying my first handgun once my permit papers are completed at the beginning of 2013 and I'm dead set on a revolver. I've done a fair amount of research and narrowed it down to a S&W Model 686 Plus or a Ruger GP100. I haven't gotten out to a shop or range to handle or test either yet...

    Unreasonably expectations?

    I've been doing some research on buying a Colt Python and from what I can tell they have about doubled in price over the last half decade. Is it unreasonable to look for one under $1,100? If not would I be more likely to find a deal at a shop or show? Online it seems to be somewhere between...

    Full Size vs. Compact

    I'm looking into buying a 1911 within the next year or so and am interested in the communities opinion on the aforementioned comparison. I'll be living in Saratoga county within the next two weeks so a concealed carry permit is pretty much off the table until I'm out of there. This will be a...

    ...why?

    So no one can figure out a top break revolver in .357 magnum but they'll dump R&D money into this?

    Handgun training near NY

    I'm looking for ranges near NY that will rent and/or provide handgun training courses. Shore Shot Pistol Range in NJ is looking good but I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend anywhere from personal experience. This training would be for both myself and my girlfriend, neither of us has our...
