    .25 acp ?

    I had a little Beretta .25 but sold it after NAA came out with their .32 Guardian. I still prefer my S&W 442 .38 way more than the .32 but between the .25 or .32 I will take the .32 any day over a .25 auto. BTW, the Guardian has been 100% reliable and is a quality product.

    Thinking about coming back to revolvers - 3" GP-100

    I was just doing some hiking and camping a couple of weeks ago and brought my 3" GP100 along. I own several .357's and this is one of my absolute favorites. IMHO it has the perfect combination of ergonomics, balance and power.

    Help me decide on a carry pistol...

    I heartily recommend the 642. I have the 442 (same basic gun) and love it. I know this opinion is not shared by everyone but when it comes to small concealed weapons I feel much more secure in the reliability of a small J frame over a smallish pistol. Real defensive shooting is not anywhere near...

    Choose 3 concealed carry guns and explain

    (1) S&W 640 .357 mag - I like this when it is cool enough to wear a covering garment. I carry it in a IWB holster between my pants and the inside of my belt. (2) S&W 442 - great pocket carry gun that I can carry "almost" all of the time. (3) NAA Guardian .32 for those rare occasions when...

    Looking for feedback on the S&W 5906...

    I've owned one for over 20 years and it is a great pistol. I have NEVER had any failures with it. A little on the heavy side but extremely well made and very comfortable to shoot.

    The Perfect gun.

    Landlockred Pirate The S&W 65 I have is the Ladysmith version with the full ejector shroud. I polished it up so it is now a "mansmith". I actually didn't like the bead blasted finish and I put a set of Pachmayr Compac Professional grips on it.

    The Perfect gun.

    I have developed a fondness for 3" barrel .357's and as such own a 3" S&W 65that is as close to perfect in a revolver as I think I am going to find. I also have a 3" Ruger GP100 (short shroud) that is right up there with the 65. I own and have owned several different makes and types of pistols...

    Revolvers and OWB holsters

    I recently did some hiking and camping with my 3" GP100 and carried it in an Uncle Mike's Side Kick hip holster. I have never carried a revolver in an OWB holster and felt that compared to a pistol in the exact same style of holster it felt a little top heavy because of the grip sticking up and...

    What gun should I buy?

    I'm with Thernlund on this about loving these open ended questions. I also find it very interesting when people completely ignore the parameters you have set and suggest getting something not even made in the caliber(s) you specified. Anyway, since I don't know what you have I will tell you...

    Which would you choose?

    I did decide to take my 3" GP100 and bought an Uncle Mike's Sidekick hip holster to carry it in. Thanks for all the responses.

    Which would you choose?

    I appreciate the replies but once again I am not considering buying a new gun. These are the guns from my current collection that I have narrowed it down to. I am leaning towards the GP100 but the 5906 has its appeal as well, since I am not overly concerned about four legged adversaries nearly...

    Have you ever used your gun for SD and how many bullets did you use?

    Several years ago while returning from a late night walk around my neighborhood I was confronted by two individuals that wouldn't stop their approach even after I asked them to several times. I lived in a very nice upscale area in a cul de sac and these folks certainly didn't live any where...

    Which would you choose?

    Thanks for the input so far. Just to let you know I already own these guns and they are the 3 out of my collection that I am considering. To my buddy, Ala Dan, I won't need to put food on the table; I'm bringing plenty of food along in coolers.:D

    Which would you choose?

    I know there have been threads and polls like this before but these are the 3 handguns I am deciding between for a weekend hiking, very easy hiking BTW, and camping trip. This will be in Northern Arizona so I know that grizzlies will not be an issue. I just want some protection with me as I am...

    NAA Guardian .32ACP with an incredibly heavy trigger

    I have a Guardian .32 and my trigger is no where near 15 pounds. If I were you I would contact NAA and see what they say. Although I've never needed their service department I hear on the NAA forum that they are great.

    Ruger GP100 as a first revolver?

    I own two GP100's; a 6" short lug (bought used for $325) and a 3" short lug (bought new for $379). I also own several S&W .357's and I think the Rugers are every bit as good as the S&W's. If you follow the sticky guide for checking out a revolver I see no reason to buy new unless you can't find...

    hiking holster for 3" GP100

    Thanks for the suggestions. It looks as if the Bianchi Cyclone 111 fits the bill as there is a model number specifically made for the 3" GP100 and has the features I am looking for.

    hiking holster for 3" GP100

    I posted this on the Ruger forum but thought I would ask you good folks as well. The title pretty much sums it up. Since I don't get the chance to go hiking very often I am looking for a moderately priced holster that will keep the gun secure and fit well, it doesn't have to be leather. Thanks

    Does it matter?

    I understand the OP's post and agree that you are going to use what you have at hand to your best advantage but I want the biggest advantage I can get. There have been significant advances in the design of hollowpoint ammo that results in more reliable expansion, etc. but where we get bogged...

    Ruger SR9?

    I plan on purchasing the SR9 next Fall and have no doubt that whatever issues the SR9 experienced initially will be completely addressed by Ruger and remedied. Unfortunately it seems the case with a number of new guns brought to market that there are bugs that need to be worked out in the first...
