Can anybody speak to the quality of the Beretta 92's trigger? I hear people say that the single action trigger stacks, and that the double action pull is very long and heavy and will throw your first shot off (is it any longer and heavier than a DA revolver?). I am thinking of picking an Italian...

Hey David, another question, how much does that .62 cal 44 incher weigh?

What barrel length do you have on that .62 flintlock, David?

I was speaking to Steve Zihn on the Firing Line Forum. Very helpful guy, and his prices seem very good. Still think I'm going with TVM, though. No reason other than I was speaking with them first. But I don't think my first muzzleloader is going to be my last and I would like a Steve Zihn to be...

I've sent some emails to TVM. Very helpful service. They look like good products. I won't be surprised if I go this route. Thanks for all the info guys.

"I suggested a Lyman to him on another thread. But he felt it wasn't good enough quality and being most are 1:48 he wants a round ball twist. But yet he is completely inexperienced. But he does want to spend $1000 to $1600. Question is because of his inexperience, what happens when things...

Hello, I'm completely inexperienced with muzzle loaders, but looking to get in to the sport. I basically want to find a good quality but plain Jane working rifle. I'm interested in both Flintlocks and percussion rifles right now. Whether it is production or custom doesn't matter to me, but it...

After much research, I've decided I want to try out a vertical shoulder rig. I'm looking for something that's leather, preferably with no retention strap unless it's removable or can be broken on the draw stroke. Want it to be in the $200 range or under. Thanks.

What brand of shoulder holster do you use, Swede?

The Doc Holiday holster rig by El Paso leather just caught my eye. More like a stomach rig than a chest or under-the-shoulder rig. The strap over the shoulder looks a little thin compared to a Guide's Choice or Kenai Chest Holster, though. I'm afraid it might dig in. Any thoughts on strap width?

Assuming a quality example of their type, which setup do you think carries better in the field, provides quickest access, and conceals easier under a jacket or fleece/sweater?

Today I've been thinking about giving my Winchester Featherweight Compact in .308 (which, for those who saw my question about the VX-2 1-4, I've decided to just keep it's 2-7 Vortex Viper on it rather than replacing it with a lighter, less powerful 1-4 scope) to my considerably younger sister as...

Looking at getting a new low power variable, prefer it go be in the $300 range. The Leupold VX-2 1-4 looks good, but I hear a lot about it being overpriced and not much of a step up from economy models. Thoughts on that? If I don't get the Leupold I imagine I'll go with a Nikon Monarch 3 1-4...

Some of my rifles that receive regular use have clean barrels, but I do like the concept of, and to have, backup iron sights. You know, in case your on a serious elk hunt and break you scope miles into the boonies.....or if you break your scope somehow going down those whitewater rapids in a...

In case I've caused some confusion, I'm talking field carry, not concealed carry.

When belt carrying a revolver with a barrel over 4", which position do you prefer? Strong side or cross draw? If it's hard to tell I'm pretty much a complete revolver newbie. As a side question, anybody know of service decent costume holster makers? It's pretty hard to find any Western style...

Thanks, but I don't like the BlackHawk grips much. And, there's no point in denying it, I want a .44 mag just because it's a .44 mag as much as any other reason.

GBExpat, the biggest dangerous animal I can expect to use this on would be rattlesnakes. The main purpose, aside from shooting rattlesnakes, would be to put down cows that are in a bad way (maybe a horse, too, I've seen it happen), which I've done before, and I'm not certain the .357 would be...

When on horseback I typically carry a short rifle. However, I've recently realizes that no time I have ever needed the rifle I couldn't have got what needed to get done just as well and more conveniently with a handgun. So now I'm in the market for a ranch handgun, which to me seems like it...
