    New S&W M29 odd wear marks

    I just returned from a range trip with my new model 29, and I've noticed some strange wear marks on the cylinder. I've never seen this before, as I said the gun is brand new and the marks weren't there this morning when I left for the range. It's almost as if a screw for the rear...

    Magwell on a Para

    I just bought a Para-Ordinance Super Hawg, and it's a great gun. Highly accurate, and looking to be very reliable after I finish breaking it in. (Range report someday soon!) Anyway, This summer I want to get a magwell for it. I've looked at the one offered by Dawson Precision, and I think...

    Guess the gun!

    I've been wandering the 'net, and I've found an interesting picture of a Beretta about which I can find no information. I think it looks kinda sexy, and I'm mostly into wheelguns!

    .38 Colt detective special

    I need some help Identifying my grandfathers colt; I can't tell whether it is from the 1st or 2nd issue. The serial # is 458119. I'm having trouble because the grip frame doen't match any of the pictures of 1st and 2nd issue colts, it looks more like the grip of a full size Police Positive...

    Bringing a wheelgun to the sandbox

    I just had a fantasy I'd like to run by you guys. My unit NG unit is deploying sometime within the next three years, and we'll probably end up doing mounted patrols and MOUT in Afganistan. (Even though that's not what were trained for, but that's another story) Anyway, I've been thinking...

    Scary thing at drill this weekend

    This weekend was drill weekend for me at my armory. We are a dismounted cav scout troop, and we can go to almost any school in the Army. This weekend we were doing some basic patrols and such in the surrounding countryside. This alone isn't anything new, but when the LT gave us our mission...

    CZ-75 Tactical Sport

    Has anyone here ever handled or fired a CZ-75 Tactical Sport? Is it... Reliable? Durable? Accurate? What about the... Trigger pull? Sights? Ammo it likes? I've been shopping around for a good target pistol, and I like the aesthetics of this gun.

    Tom Plate commentary sickens me

    I found an article here that truly sickens me. It shows what sheep americans have become. Well, most of us. What strikes me as hilarious is how this fool can see a laser sight pointed at his forehead. Real life isn't the movies, you can't see the beam of a red laser under normal conditions...

    Current state of the Union...

    WARNING, LONG RANT Reading on THR about a month ago, I started to feel that we were winning the fight for gun rights. I started to feel that maybe, just maybe, things were swinging back towards our way of thinking. But now I see that I am wrong. Lately I've been feeling that even if we...

    Desert Eagle problems

    I recently bought a Desert Eagle Mk VII in .44 magnum. I love the gun, it shoots great and feels good in the hand. But I have a problem. The first time I shot it, I wound up with a sliver of hot brass in my left eye(I'm left handed). A trip to eye doctor fixed me up as good as new, and it was...

    Multiple cartridge interchangeability

    I am curious, if I were to buy a .454 Casull revolver and have the cylinder modified for moon clips, could I then shoot .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP, all from the same gun? Are there any more cartridge types I could shoot from such a rig, including fire-formed and oddball/wildcat...

    Automatic .500 Magnum?

    I'm just hypothesizing, but if someone actually marketed a semi-automatic pistol in .500 S&W Magnum, would anyone buy it? I have no clue how they could possibly make a reasonably sized grip, among other technical problems. Conjecture on these problems also appreciated. I'm serious about...

    Desert Eagle opinions

    What are you're opinions on the desert eagle? (If you've fired one) I have big hands, so grips aren't a problem. Also, what bullets would you reccomend for a .44 mag handload?
