There is another thread about how useful a .22lr NAA revolver is but my thoughts went in another direction. Not as a defense gun but as possible a .22 Mag companion to a centerfire gun when backpacking or in the field. I know that our centerfire guns can do small game like bunnies and such...

I am curious how you would define a gun snob. I am guessing to most it means that they think everyone should carry exactly what they carry? There gun is the best there is? I used to own and example of almost everthing out there and have gone the other way. I have gone to Automatics...

Have there ever been guns that you really like but are not exactly what you want? You know what you want but no one makes it or maybe no one has ever made it? There are some Semi Automatic pistols that I would love to have unfortunately they do not exist.

I am not going to say that a revolver is better than an automatic for somethings but it seems if I am around others and they see a revolver there is that dismissive "oh, it's a revolver thing" I have respect for both Automatics and Revolvers especially if the shooter knows how to use it. Yes...

Many that shoot a modern autoloader will bash me for this most likely even though I carry an automatic. There seems to me to be some kind of had to explain elegance to a classic steel revolver that I cannot find in an automatic. I have owned so many different types of guns in my life but...

A holiday called Decoration Day preceded Memorial Day. Decoration day was started on May 5, 1868 by a group of Union veterans: the Grand Army of the Republic. Also, it's interesting that Decoration Day was announced on May 5. That day is now celebrated as Cinco de Mayo, the date when Mexican...

I am not anti-hunting. I just want to make that clear up front. I do think in all groups of people it is easier to remember the bad ones and a bad reputation can result. If you know anyone hunters that do some really bad practices let them know it is bad for hunting. The small minority...

I am going to trim my guns down to the ones I use and let go of the ones that I don't. I will then try some others but if they do not see use I will let go of them as well. I am a shooter and not a collector. The last gun I got rid of at a gun store went for half the price of the used ones...

The more I look around the more there are signs that I am gettig old. On none of my revolver are key locks or two piece barrels. What year did these two changes occur?

I have wondered if this has ever happened. A holstered BPH or CZ is being carried cocked and locked and somehow the safety gets pushed off. Has anyone ever heard of a gun discharging in a manner like this. I myself have never had an accidental discharge *knock on wood*. Since the...

There are alot of myths about Rifles, Shotguns, and Handguns that seem to be accepted my many people. Some of these statements might be true on a conditional basis however but get accepted as an all around truth. What do you think of haveing threads where common gun myths can be challenged?

One thing I have noticed in the firearms area that is different than most others. There does not seem to be much junk. I will admit that there are some really really bad guns but in the scheme of things. Most of them are quite servicable. I will not say that one is not better than another...

I have always been confused on one of the Mountain Guns. When I think of a mountain gun, If it is to be a revolver I think of it as a revolver carried alot but only used a little. Capacity I think is not much of an issue for a gun of this type. I understand the .45 LC and the .44 magnum...

I have always seen what handgun type you want to have as being a personal thing. To me as long as it work mechanically, is mechanically reliable, and in a cartridge that is up to the job, It is all up to your prefences. In all things there are compromizes even if price is taken off of the...

Has anyone tried this madness? Well, I am going to it but I am a little scared lol. I have so far probably run more than 500 rounds of Remington and Corbon 125 grain loads out of a J-Frame and it is not that bad at all but that is nothing compared to DoubleTap Brand ammo. I understand this...

In all the forums I have been in at some point a lady friend of mine is in the same forum. Often times more than me. In one forum someone wanted to know what light he should get for his girlfriend. Oh she got mad when she saw that post and kind of yelled at me why does sex matter. I want...

I for along time have wanted a side by side that had to look and feel of a Double Rifle. I would still want it short in length but stocked like a double rifle and to have a single leaf V notch express blade for a rear sight. I wonder if I am the only one who want a little 12 gage that...

For really short .22 barrels I would have always thought solids would be best so try and get some penetration but I keep hearing that is not the case. What do you want to put in a small NAA-22l lr. 1 7/8 in

Do any of you have these magazines. I think they now have a plactic floor plate. I am wondering if the 16th round goes in due to the floor plate? Actually I an fine with the 15 round magazines. Mine have the flat metal floorplates. If the 16s are 16 not due to floorplate design I might...
