I would stay away from charter arms. My old 44 bulldog's mainspring would take a set and not fire double action. Got loose and cylinder would come off when I would swing out cylinder to load.

Well first let us not forget he wants to conceal under a T shirt. People vary on what they can conceal, but he really needs to check this out before purchase. However, few people in my experience can conceal a K frame smith or ruger GP-100 under a T shirt. Also he wants cheap practice ammo and...

I read an article recently that stated the army organized soldiers into two man teams- one member with rifle, other member with pump shotgun loaded with OO buck. Stated they were very successful with this combo. I suspect once they adopted this tactic no one really did much shooting with pistol...

A light frame gun should be more prone to limp wristing problems.

Good heavy safe. Bolt it down in addition if on concrete. Put safe where service people will not see if possible- best no one except close friends/family know you have guns, but esp don't let potential BG's see safe and come prepared. I load up my firearms for range visit in my garage that...

On the plus side, I think its great Smith pays postage both to factory and return. With new rules requiring air shipment at $25-$30 each way this is a savings.

I hope the glock 26 you now have is not one of the E series under recall/upgrade for bad slide rails.

I am not very familar with fanny packs and have never used one. However, if I did use one I would want some type of holster inside that retained gun and covered trigger. If your trigger was completely covered by hard material and gun went to full cock it would still be a very rare for gun to go...

I think it depends on medication and/or effects of cold. But you should also be of "clear head" to drive. In fact the chance of you harming someone with a vehicle are much more likely than "accidentally" harming someone with a firearm be your state completely alert or in some way impaired.

I have never had a problem with breakfree, but then I only use it as a lube. I clean with a commercial solvent or home brew of "Ed's Red" and sometimes use brake cleaner. I understand non chlorinated brake cleaner is essentially gun scrubber. I also sometimes run a patch with shooters choice...

Had a 44 Bulldog many years ago- junk. Mainspring took set and gun would not go bang. Replaced spring and same thing after a number of rounds. Also cylinder fell forward and off gun when opened.

One negative of a revolver not mentioned is the cost of installing good, highly visible sights or night sights. Its generally a custom job with a revolver, but not with an auto. But I think revolvers are a good choice for some people and in some circumstance. I especially like smith centennial...

I have gone thru quite a few thousand of federal american eagle 115 grain loads in my glock 26 and never a problem. I find it more accurate than most brands.

I would want a .22 RF in either rifle or handgun. The weight you will save with ammo will more than equal weight of a rifle or handgun. I suspect most of the game you will shoot will be small so why use a 44,45, etc. Still if you want a heavy handgun a 45 LC would be a good choice. But I would...

I would suggest you carry the glock for a time with no round in chamber, but with trigger in forward/fire position. After you have carried that way awhile and trigger has never snapped on empty chamber, you may feel more comfortable with carrying glock with round in chamber. Also you can make...

I think DA is the way to go. However, if you are going to fire SA try this. Obtain a two handed grip and use the thumb of the WEAK hand to cock the revolver. With weak hand thumb you can pull straight back and maintain strong hand grip.

I think it is a good gun and price is fair. However, if your Dad is 40+ years old he may be better served with a four inch barrel. As you age you generally have problem getting a sharp sight picture. For some a short sight radius offers a degree of help in this area.

If you like to detail strip your pistols and replace parts for preventive maintanence then the glock is the way to go. Glock easy to detail strip, fewer parts, parts cheaper, parts easily obtained from either glockmeister or topglock. Only source of sig parts I know of is sig and if I recall...

It is difficult to say where to draw the line if this were to occur in the US. I think an appropriate parallel would be with militia groups. When does their training, speeches, etc cross the line from distasteful to conspiracy to commit violence against the US and our citizens. I do think that...

As someone else said get a good wide stiff belt. Forget shoulder holster at least initially; I think they work only for a few people and then for special applications. Most people will find that a strong side holster works best. I like IWB, but pancake/scabbard style is fine. For belt I like 1.5...
