    new keltec p17

    while i love my ruger sr22, ive been intrigued by the keltec p17 and got one on holiday sale for $180. took it out for the first time last night…excellent results. without thinking, three inch groups at 20’. reliable, ate even federal automatch. easy to carry, could be a nice, light trail...

    new to me s&w 10-6 h.b.

    recently i took a chance and won a used s&w 10-6 heavy barrel revolver on gb for $250. it was one of several from a n.y. dealer, and by its heavily worn bluing and pristine forcing cone & barrel it was probably an armory-maintained, corrections-issued sidearm: carried alot and shot almost...

    semiauto shotgun advice for a nonshotgunner

    to all shotgun enablers… i have some h&r/nef 20ga and 410 singles, plus a rossi 22wmr/20ga combo barrel single. i like these singles that auto-eject spent rounds but 12ga is too much oomph in these lightweight pieces. one 20” 20ga h&r lies under my bed, the others are locked away. i had a...

    taurus 856 grips

    i recently put 300 rounds (wadcutter and fmj ball ammo) through a nice, new taurus 856. for just $250 i really like it, and will serve as my bedside piece. my only (minor) complaint are the oem grips, which are sized small for concealment. since my 856 won’t be a ccw, i prefer thicker/longer...

    shooting near las vegas airport

    i read two takeaways. one bad: plural police bailed, i.e. saw gun, “held back” and “lost sight.” one good: an armed civilian saved the day. “Officers reported seeing a gun in his hand and “held back a little bit” as they watched the suspect cross a berm and run into traffic. Police lost...

    pepper spray

    please school me. i don’t have pepper spray, haven’t been disposed to getting it, yet. if the threat poses an imminently lethal danger from which i can’t safely disengage, i would rely on a handgun. i’m just thinking of whether or not to expand the range of self defense tools at my disposal...

    one handy gun to go anywhere by car in north america

    handguns by definition are out, leaving shotguns and rifles. several states and canada impose various and draconian styling, caliber, action and capacity restrictions on long guns i’m not a shotgun guy. indeed shotguns are useful and found everywhere, are associated with “allowable” hunting...

    s&w shield ez 9mm

    i am finally getting some serious practice with my 9mm ez, which is my only 9mm semiauto pistol. i bought it because i like its 380acp little brother. i sandpapered the 9mm ez’s grip front strap and trigger guard’s underside to tone down the stippling and remove a mold line. while the 9mm ez...

    new to me colt police positive 32

    so…i have been intrigued with the 32 revolver caliber for awhile, got a 327/32 barrel for my bond arms derringer to “test-fire” it and promptly got hooked. i found this 1922 colt police positive 32 revolver for under $300. its finish has seen honest wear (nothing remarkable at 100 years old)...

    which 9mm pistol: g43x, g26, s&w ez?

    i don’t have a 9mm semiauto pistol. i am a longtime revolver fan but 38sp ammo price/availability remains lousy and i don’t expect this situation to improve much, ever. my favorite round, wadcutter, is unobtanium these days. i noticed some hand dexterity issues recently when using...

    heritage roughrider 6.5” 9-shot 22lr

    i recently got a this new hrr from a large online retailer. i also have a 4.5” 9 shot model from 6-7years ago that is quite ok. i used it as a stash piece when staying with my late mom at her apartment, instead of a much better and more liked ruger single six. i wanted to try this longer...

    rossi 32s&w long j frame revolver, out of time, help needed

    my otherwise nice rossi revolver came from gunbroker slightly out of time, sadly undisclosed by the seller, which i learned after shooting it, and shaving lead. the seller declined to make it right. my local gunsmith says lack of parts and can’t repair it. otherwise it’s in really fine shape...

    change ccw after el paso?

    like most folks my ccw is oriented to face the most likely threat encountered by a civilian, so it is a snubbie or small semiauto for the under 10’, 2-3 shot scenario to which both statistics and zealously antigun prosecutors lead us. it is my rule to practice alot with my ccw. i don’t do...
