The M1 Carbine is fine just the way it is. It's a close range personal defense weapon, not a battle rifle. It will never be a battle rifle. It doesn't need to be a battle rifle, we've got plenty of battle rifles to choose from. In it's role as a close range personal defense weapon, it far...

I really don't care or devote any energy to agonizing over how other people carry their guns. I prefer to carry mine concealed. I am all for open carry being legal. That way, if my cover garment should get hiked up in public and expose my gun, I'm not in violation. We have had legal open carry...

I use whatever 124 grain HP load is currently on sale at PSA.

The easy button for what you want, and probably the most economical way to be sure of getting good results, would be to go with Douglas or ER Shaw. You can send it to them and they will put a decent barrel on for a pretty reasonable cost. From what it sounds like you want, there's no reason for...

You want something nicer than what you have...good start! If I were in your situation and wanted one fairly nice "do it all" shotgun I would get a Benelli or Beretta autoloader. If I were going to do a lot of clay target shooting I'd lean toward the Beretta. Someone above mentioned fit. There is...

I have a Ruger Red Label, 12 gauge, 26" barrels, that I bought new in 1988. For several years it was the only shotgun I used (other than a slug gun) and I used it for everything: birds, waterfowl, turkeys, trap, skeet and sporting clays. I am not and was not what I would consider a high-volume...

I have the 1.5-5 Leupold mentioned above on a .308 and it makes a slick, unobtrusive scope for from anywhere close in to as far as I will shoot at a deer or similar game...that is 300 or 400 yards. For a dedicated close range brush gun, it’s hard to beat the Leupold 1-4 shotgun/muzzleloader...

One pistol I haven’t seen mentioned is the Hungarian FEG PA-63. It’s a Walther PP clone in 9x18. The example I have is nicely done, has been absolutely reliable and cost about $150 back when a number of them were coming in. The biggest drawback is lack of spare magazines.

And yes, I'd shoot them both.

My "Grail guns" are both Smiths: a model 53 including .22 LR cylinder and inserts; a 38-44 Heavy Duty, blue or nickel, but in really good shape (doesnt have to be mint, just not beat), preferably 5 inch, but 4 or 6 will do, and the chambers not having been reamed to .357 Mag.

If I just wanted a .357 Mag for the sake of having a .357 Mag, I would probably look for a nice, early S&W 19 in a 4" - 6" barrel length. I have a (new model) Ruger Blackhawk that I don't know if I've ever fired. I don't care much for single action revolvers, but it was waved in front of me for...
