Howdy all. I'm a newbie hunter. I know .243 is good for white tail, but is it adequate for feral hog as well? Would I be better served with a larger caliber? Any and all advice is appreciated.

Could someone please give me the current value for a 19-5 2 1/2? What would also be a fair price for one? Thanks.

I am trying to find out if there is a counterpart to the model 19. What I mean is a K-frame in .357, blued and with fixed sights? I am asking for a friend who is likes my 19 2/12 barrel, but isn't a fan af adjustable sights. Also a full under lug like the 19 would be good too.

Need recommendations for this bullet. I normally use the Lasercast bullet but my normal sources (Midway and Cabelas) are back ordered. Dillon seems to have them in stock but they want more than I normally pay at the other places. I'm contemplating buying the Hard Cast lead ones offered at Dillon...

I picked up a used model 19-5 2 1/2 over the weekend. Took it to the range for the first time this evening. It's nice shooting gun, accurate for the short barrel, and fun. I used two different targets. One for 38's and the other for 357. The 357 target had a bunch of clean cut holes roughly in...

Could someone help me with the birth date of the model 19-5, serial #ACM95XX, that I picked up this past weekend? Thanks for any help. Also looking for the approximate value of a model 57, no dash, in factory nickel. Don't have access to serial # since my buddy that bought it won't let me...

A friend and I went to take the new gun out for it's first walk. This thing didn't walk. It ran, and ran nice. It was fed Winchester Ranger 230gr JHP, Cor Bon 165gr +P, Hornady TAP 230gr, and my handloads Rainier 230gr RN over 5.6gr Win 231 with CCI 300 primers. It digested everything except...

As promised here are some pictures. My first impression is very favorable. It fits my hand like no other gun ever has, this includes standard 1911's. The fit and finish is closer to what one would expect of a higher end gun instead of a production gun. There is hardly and discernible slide...

Let me start by saying that the only think I know about scopes is what I've read on the net and trough talking to some friends. I've been reading and reading untill my brain is about to pop. This world of optics can be mighty confusing. I recently purchased a Marlin 336. It will be used for...

I've been doing research into buying my first scope for a Marlin 336 in 30-30. This will be my first scope. I'm so green with scopes that, in fact, have never even shot a rifle with a scope. During my research the term "eye relief" comes up frequently. What is meant by this?

All of us who have or has had young kids know how they want to help you do everything. Tonight I set out to load some .45ACP on my Dillon 550. I was about 50 rounds into the session when the plea to help come from my 4 year old son. Instead of brushing him off I put him up on the bench (since he...

I usually hate threads like this and here I am starting one. I guess I need to be punished. Anyway, I am considering trading my Kimber Ultra Carry for a Glock 19 or some other similar small 9mm. Why would a I trade a perfectly good 1911 style .45 for a plastic 9mm? First and foremost is...

Besides the obvious guns and ammo what are some unique gifts for shooters. What is that one gadget or gizmo for a shooter that noone really thinks that they need or wants until they use it and then they wonder how they ever lived without it?

I am trying to locate something for a friend. I remember around election time I would see adds saying something like "when they tried to ban handguns I did nothing because I didn't own any handguns...." Does anyone have a source for the rest of this?

A friend recently made the most of his Rita evacuation by taking a small vacation to Waco. He lives in an RV so he was able to take his house with him. Here is one of the pictures that he took during his trip. Even with the humidity and mosquitos, I love this state. Get this in...

Found this while looking at hurricane pics on the Chronicel web site.

Went to the gun show in Conroe yesterday. Along with some 230gr Winchester Ranger ammo, I picked up a Glaco Royal Guard holster for a 5" 1911 for $20. It looks like it has never been used. Everything is very stff and tight. There are no wear marks anywhere in the holster. With an MSRP of a...

I need some help buying a new gun. Financial help is always good, but what I would like is opinions. I am being allowed to buy a gun to celebrate new baby on the way, also it will be the last for a while with diapers and double day care costs. Don't get me wrong, I want a new gun, but I don't...

Is there a difference in brands? What makes one better than another? Or, is this one fo those cases where one brand is just as good as any other?
