    Those that carry 1911s, two questions

    I've fallen in love with "don hume" leather holsters IWB... cheap too, $35 on Amazon. I have a couple years on my 1911 holster, ordered the Gov't model and carry champion/commander and officer sized pistols in it with no issues. Single sided safety on all that I carry... I tried ambi on a...

    Go To Rifle?

    It's interesting to read how people have changed their "go to" I expected to see a bunch of tactical house clearing comments, glad this isn't. I've been giving a lot of thought to my 'deer rifle' selection this year, in a year that I'm not going hunting. I thought it was more a nostalgia...

    What was your first revolver?

    Taurus 669 6" off a guy who needed x-mas money. I was never a fan of revolvers... a friend of a friend told me about the Taurus and the price seemed right and it came with ammo. I enjoyed shooting it with memories of my fathers Rugers in my mind, promptly bought a S&W 13-2 4" a few weeks...

    Open carry question

    I'm with tightgroup tiger, Living in NC rifles and shotguns hang in the back windows of trucks and seeing a pistol on a man / womans hip is normal. I'm thankful for the Open Carry Law here, my dear wife hasn't quite mastered CCW, her's is usually hanging out the back of her shirt OC IWB ! 98%...

    What's The Smallest Capacity That You're Comfortable With?

    38 snub Mon to Fri, 6 rounds +p 158gr Sat / Sun ... depends on the clothing, revolvers are all 6 rounds, 1911's have 8, 9mm is either 10 or 15 depending on pistol model, sometimes I keep an extra mag if I feel spunky. Situation doesn't dictate as much as clothing. I'm not opposed to Open...

    Large cap truck pistol?

    Used Beretta 92 or Glock 19/17 would fit the criteria nicely, even new they're both around the $600 mark. I'm not a fan of either, my Beretta with wolf springs and some smoothing, metal upgraded parts is a very good pistol now, nothing like a military M9 or box stock pistol, 92FS was one of my...

    S&W Model 10, love a first sight

    Model 13-2 4" was my first S&W Revolver... smooth as clock work, such a beautiful finish. $400 a few years ago. I prefer the Model 10 for daily carry (left bottom), with a set of butchered pachmayr grips, she's being refinished, wirebrush / bead blast, bluing. I don't mind the weight, size...

    Does your significant other shoot?

    Been Married almost 10 years, She likes to shoot, just as much as I do. After she got over the first handgun staying "loaded" and gained a liking for Revolvers, I decided to keep her around for a few more years even though she doesn't care for Glocks. I'll do a little bragging, The little...

    Love the pictures of well carried .38's I've been carrying a .38 snubs; a Det Spl or Mod 10 have become more carried than car keys as of lately.

    Is 6 Shots Really Enough?

    This is like the 9mm vs 40 vs 45 vs... I feel adequate with 6 in a Colt D or S&W 10, snub noses are my choice the majority of days. No reload, just 6 rounds of 158gr +P. I admit, I vary my carry with sub compact high capacity tuperware and various 1911's... more so on Sat / Sun than...

    Used revolvers becoming more available?

    I'm seeing allot of model 10's, scooped up 2 snubs last month under $400. Seeing allot of .32 revolvers? I've actually talked to my local smith about rebarrel / cylinder as they seem dirt cheap? Seen a few 22lr S&W's 17, 18, 617 and a snub pop up on Armslist, seem to sell quickly. I'm...

    Is there a "Peter Principle" for Gun Buying?

    More so relates to ability... I have a shining example of it where I work; not one but two individuals promoted to a rank they can not begin to fill the duties of, sadly... it's known by the employer and as anything in the Military, you just wait till they receive orders to charm someone else's...

    K Frames will be my undoing

    I export them from Minnesota every chance I get and keep a stock pile in NC, brought a model 13-2 back on my last trip from up north. We'll eventually migrate them to our retirement in WI in 20 years ;) Darn K-Frames, I had to quit drinking and cut back on smoking to afford that nasty habit...

    Carry revolver for the wife

    My wife swiped my Colt Detective Special. I get to see it in the evening hours but she disappears with it every morning. After the first time shooting it, she started to refer to it as, "hers"... from the woman who wouldn't keep anything except a 1911 in the center console or purse, she now...

    Budget based .50 bmg rifles

    Thanks for all the replies. The Cobb/Bushmaster looks interesting, kind of topping what I want to spend and at $50-80 a magazine full of ammo they look like they'd become expensive faster. I've been checking out the State Arms / East Ridge Guns, I like the option of a wood stock, they...

    Budget based .50 bmg rifles

    School me please. Who has a budget under $5k .50 and what would you do different or purchase? I have a bunch of experiance behind M2's and a few days of M82/M107's... I've never been behind anything on the civilian market. I can't afford a Barret. I'm looking at a Safety Harbor Firearms...

    Preferred method of shooting a bolt gun left-handed?

    I have several right handed friends who own left handed bolt guns, they cycle the bolt with the 'fore hand', it would be no different for a left handed shooter on a right handed gun to cycle with his right hand. *** right, why would a right handed guy buy a left handed bolt gun... simple, you...
