Today I went to the range to work out my two primary carry weapons: a S&W 642 and a Kahr PM9. The arthritis has gotton worse over the last year so my hands hurt enough that I caught myself dreading to shoot because of the recoil. In the past, I have regretted the aches after shooting but this...

With both wife and I shooting at the range, it's getting a bit pricy for two pistol lanes and a 100 count box of WWB 9 mm's and one of 38 spl. Last "value pack" of 38 spl cost $23.50/100. Been looking at the Taurus website at the Ultra Lite Model 94 22lr revolver to use for practice most of the...

I would like to get my wife a .22 lr semi-auto that is similar to her Kahr P9 9mm. She now shoots a Ruger 22/45 for fun but consistantly has a hard time getting the magazine lined up to easliy slide in. Also, I clean her guns for her when we get back from the range and I HATE trying to get that...

Saw an add for S&W Model 65's that I don't need but want. The selling website deals in buying lots and selling individual guns. He says the Model 65s came from the Texas Dept. of Corrections and a photo shows "TDC" and a serial no. stamped into the frame. My thought is that revolvers from a...

I'm 70. It seems that I am having more fail to feeds with my semi-autos (Guardian 380 & Bersa 380 - but not with my Kahr PM9 9mm) than I used to have. Have any of you other geezers had a problem with a weaking grip or limp-wristing as you aged? :confused: I'm starting to wonder if I should...

Although my wife and I own 5 handguns and go to the range at least once a week, we've been undecided about concealed carry for a number of reasons that have already been rehashed ad infinitum. Because I had a sister who was abducted from the parking lot of a major mall in Dallas, my knee jerk...

At a gun show, saw some "felt recoil reducers" for sale. Was considering getting one for my wife's 9mm. Are recoil reducers actually good products? Anyone have an opinion from actual experience with one? Specific brands? Paul G.

Has anyone found an entirely satisfactory way to make the front blade sight more visible on a 642? It doesn't look like there is enough steel to have a custom front sight mounted - but I haven't checked. I saw some $18-19 glow stuff for painting on the front blade at Sportsman's Warehouse here...

I'm not trying to start an argument but I am a newbie and I have an honest question I haven't figured out. I'm also not a LEO. I'm a civilian considering what gun for a CCW. I have seen numerous posters on various forums state that only a 9mm or larger will do as their "primary" carry gun but...

Not sure if this is the proper forum for this. If not, please suggest a better forum. During the last month or so, I've been researching small handguns and ballistics. I have seen several references to a "shootout" or "incident" relating to the FBI and to Miami. These references always assume...
