    Best value per dollar handguns in the under $300 range?

    MCGunner and I have the same setup. My Taurus are solid. I owned a S&W629 for years and the trigger was crap and I couldn't get it to shoot well. I picked up a used M66 and it is awesome. I tend to shoot metal plates at the range double action. I have also had my M85 for over a decade. No...

    Good, budget-priced, spring pistol (pellets) for killing small varmints?

    I have the Benjamin from Cabelas (Crossman made?). Also a hand pump, 22cal. It is a big pistol with lots of power relatively speaking. Very nice gun for $129, now $149. However, I mostly use a cheap $29 Crossman rifle that is propped up my my garage. Squirrels in the woods are fine until...

    Which movies made you want to get a gun?

    The Man Standing - great 1911 action. And We Were Soldiers - Sam Elliot's character again with the 1911 was awesome. I got a Kimber Compact. Also Band of Brothers series was responsible for another 1911 and an M1 Carbine and a M98-K.

    current taurus revolvers

    I have had my M85UL for 8yrs(?) and my M66 for 2. Both have been good guns. I have the M85UL for daily carry. The M66 is my nightstand gun and scouting gun. I think for the most part Taurus revolvers are a good bargain.

    Which one for a pickup truck handgun?

    Mine changes often. I shoot my 1911's the best but I usually have my Taurus 66, 7shot 357. No fumbling around - always ready to go. And I carry a Taurus M85UL in 38spcl.

    45-70 Recoil ?

    I have a Ruger #1 that has only been shot with hand loads. It will thump you. I've shot thousands of 12g and many were 3" duck hunting loads. Between clays and dove I can go through 200 shells in a day. I made up a batch of 405g 45/70 over a heavy load and it was rude. Very rude - my buddy...

    Would you buy a modern carbine in... .30 Carbine?

    I'd take one in a heartbeat! I just got back from the club after sending a 100 rounds out of my Inland M1. On the way home I was wondering why there weren't more guns offered for this cartridge. With soft points, these 110g pills would be an awesome close range gun. Your talking roughly...

    Ruger SP101 info needed

    I have a M85UL and it is my primary small gun. If I were to add a SP101 if would be a 3" barreled gun that I would carry on the trail. I voted for a RAMI, as I think thinner is better for a CCW and I find I shoot semi's better when shooting quickly.

    Help with H&R 922

    I have my grandfather's H&R 922. A neat gun and though I know it isn't worth much, it is invaluable to me. I need some advise on the operation. I have to remove the cylinder to unload. When removing the cylinder should I pull the hammer back to the first catch (is this half cocked?). Also...

    Looking for Mag for a Colt Vest Pocket 25ACP

    I have Colt M1908, aka the Colt Vest Pocket. It was purchased new by my Grandfather. My father left it to me when he passed. It is a neat little fire arm. I am looking for a couple mags to save the original. I see the Mec-Gar makes mags for the Baby Browning, will they work in the Colt...

    Ammo can storage.

    I built a sturdy shelf, roughly h4xw4xd2, it is way too small. PAShooter's setup is awesome. I am going to get some stencils and yellow paint for my ammo cans.

    Semi Auto Rifle with Cheap Ammo

    I had a Romanian SAR1. It was fine. Then I bought a Yugo SKS. It was better. I kept the Yugo as I find it more fun to shoot. I don't go to public ranges and unload as fast as I can. I also liked the milled steel and just overall fit and finish. Shot it this weekend along with my latest...

    45-70 or a 444 Marlin, Which would you choose?

    I've got a Ruger #1 in 45/70 which is my primary deer hunting gun. I have never bought ammo for it, reloads only but I am tempted to try the new Leverevolution bullets from Hornaday. My buddy has retired his Weatherby 7mag and pulled out his Marlin in 35 REM with these new bullets. Took 9...

    Utility Question - Which Rifle?

    I have an itch for a new rifle. The ones I am considering are on opposite ends of the spectrum. AR15 - M4 configuration vs. Marlin 1894C 38/357 I have a snubby 38 and a 4" 38/357, the lever gun would fit well making a three gun battery in one caliber. The lever action is good for everything...

    22 long rifle handgun target ammo choices

    I would suggest ordering several varieties from Midway or Grafs. I only have 2 22 pistols and I am thinking about picking up a third. I have experimented with 6-8 brand/varieties and I have found that my MkII Govt does great with Wildcats. Green Tag were not worth the $$ in that gun. My...

    What do you think is the most over-rated firearm?

    Other Keltec. I have one. I carry but it has had internal parts break rendering it useless. I am trying to step up to my snubby 38. If I had to pick one on the list, then it would be the 870. I see no reason to own a pump. I have and OU and a semi and hunt with both. I own and love...

    SKS Thumbs up or down?

    Thumbs Up! I have a C&R lic. so I had to get one of the Yugo's and it is awesome. My is in excellent condition and was a lot less then they are running now. Granted it is heavier with the grenade launcher, but between the weight and the recoil pad, it is a great shooter with little muzzle...
