    Security Six vs. Model 19 Combat Magnum

    The 19 will undoubtedly have a better double action trigger, if you are interested in shooting your double-action revolver, well... double action.

    options comprable to glock 23

    Is pocket carry really a significant criteria for you? 'Cause while I'm sure there are a few who find they can reasonably pocket carry a gun the size of a G23, there are a whole lot more who will tell you it's not realistic. I would be among the latter. Unless you have a compelling reason to...

    WA silencer use bill Senate hearing!!!

    Thank you, activists and those who have taken the time to understand and report on the legislative process for all of us. Here is the actual text of HB1016 as passed and signed: it takes the form of an amendment to the section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW 9.41.250) which formerly...

    Scout Scope question

    I have one--the same Leupold you're considering--on a Marlin 1894 in .41 mag, and it's a great match for a lever-gun for hunting in the brush. Even a better one for your application, because I imagine the recoil on your guide gun is pretty stout, and having the scope out in front of your...

    SJHP Advantage?

    The SJHP is an older technology that attempted to deal with the problem of ensuring expansion at varying velocities. There are better, more reliable JHP's now than there were when the SJHP was created. Seek a bonded top of the line HP like the Speer Gold Dot or the Winchester Ranger. If your gun...

    Finally Found One (Marlin 1894C .357)

    A Lyman receiver mounted aperature sight is a great addition. Really the only addition I'd recommend. I've tried a few on my 1894c and only the Lyman remains. Well, almost. Also a Williams fiber optic front sight and a Wild West trigger. But the receiver sight is the biggest improvement by a...

    Iknow this has been done before, but AK or AR?

    Bravo Company Manufacturing: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/ A manufacturer of very high quality and very reliable AR's (I rely on one as a duty carbine) that are a little bit--but not ridiculously--above the pricepoint you mentioned. I checked the zero on my BCM yesterday after having...

    Best round all 'round

    No, not JUST about hunting; but hunting does appear to be a part of it as far as the OP is concerned. The first part, in fact:

    Iknow this has been done before, but AK or AR?

    Your friend's cleaning schedule is not a reliable indicator of what an AR actually needs. A quality AR with reasonable care is as reliable as an AK. If you bury it in sand for 3 months and then shoot it without cleaning? No. So don't do that. An AR is more ergonomic, accurate and adaptable...

    Best round all 'round

    For full-range, platform-crossing versatility, I'm going with the 10mm. Get a S&W 610 and you have a revolver that's a truly legitimate choice for hunting and, with appropriate loads (of course the kind of range you're asking about will be best attained by handloading), the full range of other...

    NEED HELP, Wilson or Nighthawk 1911?

    No. Either is likely to produce an excellent gun for you and either is likely to provide excellent service, and to be around to support it--though of course Wilson has already been around longer, if you think that bears on their future prospects.

    Revolver for a duty weapon

    Sounds like a good if hard decision; I had to make a similar choice when I entered LE a few years back. The bulk of my prior shooting had been IDPA and IPSC with revolvers. I loved shooting revolvers and was pretty good at it. When S&W came out with the 627 Pro, the gun you've considered, I got...

    .357 mag vs. .41 mag for SD

    I like both .357's and .41's very much and have messed about with both quite a bit. I find I prefer shooting a big-bore with a moderate load to a smaller round in a screamer load; but I also find I like K- and L-frame revolvers better than N-frames, and the .41 (regrettably) doesn't come any...

    Hammer vs Hammerless trigger pull?

    Technically, they'll be slightly different; but with the heaviness of any duty-type j-frame trigger pull, you'll never be able to detect so slight a difference. Neither will ever be as good as a k- or l-frme DA, but either will be equally manageable with practice.

    What is the best DA trigger on a current production .22 revolver?

    Certainly one of the K-frames is the answer to this question. The 10-shot is different than the 6, but it's not a qualitative difference, just a difference. The way to work on the trigger of a new S&W DA .22 is to shoot it, and dryfire it, and shoot it and... so on.

    Do you have a 380 in your rotation ?

    My .38 carry round is a speer 135 gr. gold dot made for short barrel revolvers. It makes 825-850 fps from my j-frame. It's got a bullet profile that would never feed in a semi and one that I trust to perform as designed (read: great gaping hole in the front)...

    Do you have a 380 in your rotation ?

    Okay, I'll buck the trend. Nope. I considered the .380 acp several years back when I started carrying and decided that anyone that scares me bad enough to need shooting, needs shooting with at least a .38. I do enjoy pocket carry, and a lightweight j-frame (12.5 oz 340pd) pocket carries very...

    Practical Chain Mace

    Legal questions, right: Okay. Obviously. But the long-ago teenage D&D player in me says: Cooooool. The temptation to hit stuff with it will obviously overwhelm you in time. What kind of practice target will you use? I've got a latex boxing dummy that I'm pretty sure could take it, based on...

    Kimber .45 vs Springfield 9mm

    A 9mm is probably a better choice for a beginning handgun shooter both because of the cost of ammunition and because of the significantly greater recoil of .45, which (while it can certainly be dealt with) would probably steepen the learning curve of handgunning for you. I have and carry a...
