Funny you should mention the .44, mackg. Some years ago I had a S&W 629 topped with a 4x scope. I had a surplus of Hornady 300gr ammo at the time, and decided to try an afternoon of groundhog hunting for giggles and grins. Unfortunately I only managed to get in 1 short for the afternoon, and...

Wow, where do you even begin with this one! I don’t believe there is any one answer to the question. If it was that simple, we would have fixed the problem already, I suspect. The answer can be speculatively tied to a great number of cultural changes over the last several decades. The guns have...

Hello everyone, Thanks again for all the replies and opinions(keep them coming if you have them!). Very interesting reading about the .357 Freedom Arms, dvnv. I didn’t realise they could be loaded to that level. I am starting to think, as most seem to agree, that the .357 is probably the...

For me, personally, if it was an out of production, or rare variant that I wanted, I would be willing to pay a fair bit more rather than miss an opportunity that I may not come across again for a long time. If it was a gun that was still in production, I would wait for a better bargain. One...

As many have already said, the .380 auto was originally designed to be a military/law enforcement/self defence cartridge in various countries, and to my knowledge, no match grade ammunition is, or has been manufactured. Sticking to your criteria of caliber and gun model, the only options I can...

I suppose I sort of knew the answer to my own question. I seem to have a fatal attraction for the impractical/flawed cartridges, after all, I was a huge fan of the .357 maximum revolver lol. Does anyone have experience with Gary Reeder's .240 or .255 Banshee? As suggested by some, I don't...

I had a Black Widow with both cylinders, years ago. From everything I have read from others, I must've had a lemon. I loved the looks and size of the little revolver, but the trigger was so stiff, that you had to REALLY squeeze, which translated into not being able to hit the broadside of a...

Hello everyone, I’ve been perusing the forums off and on for a while now, but this is my first time posting, please be gentle ;) I have had a nagging urge for several years now to purchase, or have custom made, a dedicated, purpose-built varmint/predator revolver, accurate and powerful...
