I've been looking for a revolver in .44 Special for concealed carry, but I can't seem to find much to choose from. Smith & Wesson doesn't appear to offer anything in under a 4" barrel. Taurus has discontinued their .44 special snubnose, and Ruger does not make a .44 snub at all. The only...

A while back, I met some friends at a local bar to discuss a business arrangement. In accordance with arizona law, my handgun was locked in a handgun safe in the car. I don't like the combination of guns and alcohol, so if I have a drink, the gun stays locked up until I get home. This...

I recently acquired a Winchester 1897, a shotgun I've always wanted. it's old, if i read the serial numbers correctly, 1907. It has a 30 inch barrel, which is a replacement that appears to be pretty recent, not much wear. It's a takedown model, but I have no idea how that works. Can anyone...

i went to a local gunshop today, to help my buddy find his first handgun (he hasn't purchased anything yet, but now has some ideas of things i like. i found this Vaquero in the used gun case, and decided i needed a .45 Colt. serial number dates it as made in 2000.

i have a WASR that i am pleased with, overall, though i'd like to replace the stock and trigger group, a slightly longer stock to fit me better. i understand that to alter it, it needs a certain amount of US parts for compliance. this is where i need advice. if i replace the buttstock...

About a year or so ago, I was at a garage sale down in Queen Creek and I threw down forty dollars for a weird looking shotgun. Everything look clean and solid, and it had a familiar brand name. The gun was a Mossberg bolt action twelve gauge fed from a two round box magazine. After bringing...

After a couple weeks of backorder, the grips I ordered for my Model 37 Airweight finally arrived. The grip profile is almost identical to the rubber boot grips she came with from the factory. No lock, and she's 100% American parts. She was just screaming for some nice wood grips. The holster in...

one of my best friends used to be an avid shooter and was halfway through cop school when he suffered a crippling hand injury. long story short, he fell down and ended up with a broken Corona bottle through the palm of his hand. three surgeries and five years of physical therapy later, he wants...

sure, i had to buy it myself, but at least that way you get something you really want. bought myself a new stainless steel Ruger SP101. this answers the age-old question of what gun to carry in the shower :D

this isn't a thread about handguns as primary hunting arms, but as a sidearm. what do you carry in addition to your long gun, if anything? i carry a 6 1/2" Ruger Single-Six in .22 WMR most of the time. it's lightweight and accurate, and packs enough punch for what i might encounter in my...

i would like some of your opinions on this. in my experience, if i miss a bird with the first shot, more often then not, a second shot will be wasted. keep in mind, my experience is limited to quail and dove hunting, and here, birds retreat to heavy brush quickly.

at my local gunshop, they had an Enfield stamped .308 winchester. is this a common thing, or is at an oddball that's been rebarreled and chambered for .308?

i often carry my beloved S&W Chief's Special in a Kydex belt holster underneath a t shirt, feeling pretty secure with it there, and i could draw or holster it quickly and easily. the other day, i was getting into my buddy's truck so we could go sight in our rifles for pig season. the grip of...

this was my first attempt at a camo finish, aiming for the general color scheme of the high desert. it turned out better than i expected, but i'm not completely satisfied and will probably do it over again. i overdid the greens and browns, not enough of the base color. the gun is an unissued...

this past weekend a few of us went up to the north shore of Roosevelt Lake here in arizona to chase quail, and scout javelina for next month's pig hunt. we camped by the shore, and were able to do equal amounts of hunting and fishing. the fish weren't biting, so i spent most of the time...

what's the best choice of a makarov for quality, price, and availability? i want to add one to my surplus collection.

can anyone recommend a good company to buy a barreled action from? i'm looking for bolt action in .308 or .30-06.

today when i went to visit my dad, he gave me a Swiss K-31 he got as part of a trade, since he knows how much i love milsurps. it was dirty as all hell on the outside, i didn't expect much out of it. after a deep cleaning, i realized it was in pretty good functional shape. once cleaned, the...

i'm looking to buy a new gun, up to about $600. there are many things i'm considering, but i would like to hear what you would buy in that price range. anything goes.

I was quail hunting this weekend out in the hills, about an hour east of the Phoenix area. We were crossing through a dry creekbed, still moist from the last rain, trying to get a good distance away from the plague of recreational dirtbike and quad riders that has descended upon the area over...
