    ouch my S&W 44 mag hurts

    Glad I came upon this post. I had a M29 classic with 5" barrel with stock Hogue grips. Could only stand to shoot 12 rounds of 210/240 gr full power loads. Moved to a S&W 657 41mag cut down to 5", so much more comfortable to shoot, Could not learn to master the double action trigger for self...

    RIA 9mm 1911

    Taurus will probably come out with their 1911 9mm soon, .38 Super has been out a year or so now.

    Best Handgun Caliber as a Sidearm for Hogs?

    I use to carry a pistol along with a center fire rifle (7mm-08/ .270) when hunting hogs. Lately I have been leaving my Delta Elite at camp due to the extra weight. When I trade the rifle for a fishing pole, it's nice to have a sidearm loaded with Double Tap 200gr XTP's at 1250 fps.

    Custom 10mm

    Congratulations! I lucked into my custom Delta Elite six years ago. Will never sell or trade it. Georgia Arms makes good stuff.

    CZ75Compact 9mm

    In search of "my" perfect carry sidearm I have tried the S&W 3913 , S.A. Ultra Compact 9mm, Kimber Pro Carry 9mm and Glock 19. I got my PCR a couple of months ago and love it. The CZ 75 PCR just feels right, and most importantly is reliable and accurate. I like the de-cocker and that the pistol...

    The 10 MM

    Punch in 10mm in the Gun Broker search, there are 15 pages! 10 years or so there would have been only 2-3. I will always have at least one 10mm.

    Starting to feel foreign, the 1911.

    It is because of Colt that domestic and foreign manufacturers of the 1911 have flourished. Springfield Armory was the first to offer a quality, affordable 1911 albeit using Brazilian manufactured components to keep cost down. Colt responded with their bare bones 1991 A1, and "enhanced" models in...

    looking for the next best to a Glock 19

    I recently sold a G19 because it just did not feel right. No matter how much I tried to warm up to the pistol I just could not get use to the trigger. I ended up with a light weight CZ75 PCR and it fits like a glove. Accuracy is excellent and it handles the Gold Dot 124gr JHP +P just fine. The...

    Get into 10 mm?

    Last time I looked at WM there was nothing on the shelf but some 38 special target loads. Punch 10mm into the Gun Broker search and you will get 10 pages or so of results. Just 5 years ago maybe just 3-4 pages. There are more guns available now and ammo selection is increasing. My custom...

    .38 Super vs .357 Mag

    tipoc, Practical in the sense that the 9mm is much, much more readily available and less expensive than .38 Super. There are so many types of 9mm loadings available. Everything from fmj practice to +p+ jhp's. The Super may have been chambered before the 9mm, but for SHTF scenarios the 9mm in...

    10mm or .45ACP?

    If I could have learned to shoot a revolver double action I would have saved a bunch of money over the years and just kept my S&W 29 5" classic. I shoot the 1911 well and I am down to two pistols, neither in 45ACP. The 10mm is a great round that is relatively easy to shoot. 135gr, 155gr...

    .38 Super vs .357 Mag

    I just like the .38 super... Honestly it doesn't compare with the .357 mag though. It is more like a 9mm +p+ round. Pictured is my old .38 super that served as my field and defensive pistol for 10 years. I have since replaced it with a 10mm. I used Corbon 115gr jhp's for defense and...

    SA Loaded or STI Trojan in 9 ?

    I have owned the S.A. Target and currently own the Kimber Stainless II. I prefer the Kimber primarily because it has brushed sides, more aesthetic slide serrations, and super tight frame/slide fit. I usually opt for adjustable sights. but the stock fixed sights (no dots) are well regulated...

    10mm or .45ACP?

    I am down to 2 main pistols as I near the age of 50. Both are 1911's but neither are 45ACP. My custom Delta Elite is the one pistol I will never sell/trade. It is my woods walking and hunting sidearm. The other is a bone stock Kimber stainless II in 9mm. If I were living in a rural area...

    Symbols - markings to identify Remington 870 choke

    This is a smooth bore barrel, but no clear markings as far as I can tell to the type of choke. I bought this 870 for $185 plus $35 S&H / FFL fees. It is in great shape. Cant wait to shoot it and start personalizing it for HD use and back up on pig hunts. Thanks for the feedback

    Symbols - markings to identify Remington 870 choke

    Purchased a used Remington 870 magnum with 20" barrel and rifle sights. The owner told me that the barrel was a fixed modified choke, but I do not recognize any markings on the barrel to confirm. The right side of the barrel has "R" , a triangle with a - in the middle and REP within a...
