    Hi Point pistols

    EWWWW!!! That's hittin' 'em below the belt, and judging by the many two-legged porcine princesses parading around everywhere with wedding rings on their sausage-like fingers, I'd say accurate. But getting back to the subject, I purchased a Hi-Point .380 (the 9mm was sold out) for a friend...

    Why hunt down a buy a Medusa if I can make one?

    I remember seeing a couple of those back in 1999 or 2000 in my local gun store, but at the time I didn't give them any serious thought. To me, they were too gimmickey. Now that I'm much wiser (read older), however, I really wish I would have picked up one instead of some of the other guns I...

    642 Club Part Deux

    I wish my 642 could be a family gun, but my wife finds it next to impossible to squeeze the trigger without the gun shaking violently. It's difficult for me to believe that any adult of average strength could find the trigger difficult to handle, but I saw it with my own four eyes, so it's...

    In Praise of Revolvers

    I can't say I carry a revolver because it's better than an auto, but because, for me, it's a more versatile platform. My preferred method for carry is pocket and I find my S&W 642 is much slicker than any of the autos I've tried to carry that way (Kahr MK40: too heavy; Glocks 26 and 36: too fat...

    642 Club Part Deux

    This is my first post on THR in about 4.5 years. WOW! A thread for my all-time favorite carry gun the uncomparable S&W 642? Life just keeps getting better and better. I bought my pre-lock 642 in 1999 while I was searching for a carry gun. After that, I allowed myself to be...

    I want to destroy my shoulder...

    Yikes! You must be what is called a recoil junky. I'll admit it, I am a whimp when it comes to recoil, so I find it difficult to fathom your need to sample the above calibers. Be that as it may, more power to you in your quest for the most controlled brute force available applied directly to...

    All-around Carbine: .357 Mag vs 7.62X39

    As much as I am a fan of .357 Mag. carbines, I own an 1894C Marlin in said caliber, a .357 long gun is a luxury, not a necessity. For an all-around carbine I'd go with the 7.62x39. Within its limitations, it's fine for deer, and it doesn't really recoil all that much, at least in my SKS...

    30-06 elk cartridge

    I took a cow elk last fall, my first, with .30-06 Federal Premium High Energy 165 grain. Next time, however, I will use cheap Remington Core-Bond 165 gr. rounds, just because they are cheaper and just as accurate (.75 MOA three-round groups), not because there is anything wrong with the Federal...

    Reloading with Clays

    My load for the .45 ACP is 3.8 grains of Clays under a 200 gr. LRNFP bullet, a quite accurate round. I haven't used Clays for the .357, but I have used it quite a bit for the .38 Spl. Again, I use 3.8 grains of Clays, but this time it's under a 127 gr. LRNFP bullet. I never have gotten around...

    Wards-Western Field 20 ga. SxS

    At my local gun shop today, I saw a gun I know nothing about--which isn't unusual when it comes to shotguns--for sale. The gun was a 20 ga. SxS Western Field, I think the model was SBS300, but I could be wrong on that. Does anyone know anything about them? They wanted $190. Fair or too much...

    I'm getting a powerful hankering for a 97 Trench Gun

    ANYTHING else? Are you sure about that? What will Wal-mart stock its shelves with? Or maybe the embargo deals with just firearms and related products? If so, the only people who will really suffer by this symbolic act are U.S. citizens. DAL

    One of History's Lessons....

    Sorry to take a tangent here. Sir Galahad, I don't think I've ever heard a liberal say they didn't like a big, intrusive government, unless that government happens to be run by a Republican administration. If it's run by Democrats, then any and all social schemes and power grabs are just...

    How do you say "7.62 X 39"?

    I think I am going to start calling it seven-six-two Com., for the Communist regime it was invented under. Those who know their history should know that the 7.62x54R was a pre-Communist round, so my appelation shouldn't confuse them, although I'm sure it still will. Uglygun, forget the...

    Call me insane

    Thanks for the permission, but I don't think I'll take you up on it. If you like it, and I'm assuming you must if you took the time to post about it on THR, why not bid on it? Heck, you're a Dr., you can afford it. Of course, it might cost several times what you pay for it to get it in...

    Suggestions for carrying a J frame speedloader on belt without anyone knowing?

    Why would you want to hide a speedloader? Heck, be proud of the fact that you're a wheelgun man! :D Seriously, I can't help you with hiding a traditional speedloader, as I carry my rounds in a couple a speedstrips. They offer the ultimate in extra-ammo concealment. Granted, round...

    Bears.... Theory & Practice.

    The sad thing is that someone who doesn't like "icky" guns, and who probably knows little or nothing about the great outdoors, will probably try this and wind up as bear scat. Giving out advice like this borders on the criminal. DAL

    Does HKS have a website?

    I just called the number given (thanks, Cawdor) and they said they have no plans to make any speedloaders for the 617 10-shot at this time. He also said, however, that if they make enough of them (I don't know how many that is) they will seriously consider making a batch. The guy also said one...

    Should i buy a new rifle?

    Since you have the basics covered with regards to long guns, I'd advise a reliable handgun. It's difficult to beat a quality .357 revolver, or a Glock in the model/caliber of your choice. DAL P.S. I like the suggestions for a lever-action rifle. I have a Marlin 1894C in .357 Mag. that's...

    How many full power .357 mag loads do you shoot in your .357?

    I tend to shoot FAR more .38 than .357 through my .357 guns. This is especially true of my Python, since I have heard that a steady diet of full-house magnum loads can adversely affect its functioning. My SDB, although purchased to load .357 Mag., loads .38 Spl. exclusively (unless you count...
