I have a Smith & W Governor. I have one holster for it, but when I bought it It said it was for the Governor. I know there are holsters out there that fit the Governor but don't specifically say that. What should I be looking for.. Is it S&W N Frame, K frame.. Something else? I dont have a...

I noticed that sig has introduced the p232 in .22 LR. The 232 used to be my favorite gun until the economy went bad and i had to sell it, but I was thinking of getting another one, but this time i was gonna try and find one of the older .32 models because i've been fighting an illness and i've...

I was watching Pawn Stars(not the greatest source for information on anything, I know) and there was a sequence where the guys went trap shooting. rick pointed out that the others were using home defense shotguns, while his shotgun was made for trap shooting. I wouldn't have known it mattered...

Just like the title said, I'm looking for info on any .32 acp handgun that isn't subcompact. I've recently become interested in .32 acp for a number of reasons, but primarily for the low recoil. I've fired .380 acp guns like the ppk and the sig p232 and I haven't been content with them. My...

I think we all know a 1911 when we see one, but I wonder if there are more specific criteria that make a gun a true 1911. So i have a few questions to assist you in helping me out: 1. Explain what a 1911 is to a guy who is familiar with plenty of other guns, their basic operation, and basic...

I often hear about what a certain firearm cost at a certain time in history, but I've never heard anything about ammo. I never thought much about ammo costs before, but now that ammo, in my area at least, is insanely expensive, I'm wondering how it's changed over the years. So for example...

I need a little information. I live in Massachusetts, so the challenge of finding an uncommon gun is a lot worse because I need to find a mass compliant model or a model old enough that it doesn't matter. I'm hoping someone can tell me what years sig sauer made the sig p232/p230 in .32 acp...

Yesterday I went down to my gun shop to pick up a gun I had already paid for and while I was waiting I saw something that to me seemed really special. It was a Colt 1903.. A model I admit I had never heard of.. But when I saw it I loved it immediately. It showed clear signs of age, but no...

Hey guys, I came here with the intention of learning a little about the .32 and noticed a few threads where different .32 acp handguns were being discussed. I don't have anything to contribute about those specific guns, but I am interested in more info on them and other .32 acp guns and the...

I've recently become very interested in the .357 mainly because I love revolvers and a revolver chambered for .357 would be highly effective for self defense and at the same time large and weighty enough to offer lighter recoil than what im used to in my .38 j frame. I admit.. What i stated...

I put some money down on a governor and in about a week it's gonna be mine.. But i'd like to find a good holster. Smith and Wesson offers one and I found a few nice leather ones at Desantis.. But i'm wondering if those are really my only options.. I was really hoping to get one of the blackhawk...

Hi guys, As I shop around for my next gun.. A lot of things have come up to consider.. And since I live in an area where it's not so easy to go try out a lot of guns, it's good if I can narrow it down by asking questions here whenever possible. So there's a good chance my next gun is gonna...

I've heard all kinds of things about dry firing handguns.. Is there anyone who can explain why dry firing is or isn't bad for guns? I'm assuming most of what I've heard is based on some kind of truth, so are there certain guns that can be safely dry fired? I've heard newer revolvers won't be...

I started a thread a short while back to get some advice before I went and bought a smith and wesson governor. The folks who responded ended up giving me plenty of useful information and I decided to buy it because the things I had concerns about were addressed. HOWEVER, the folks in that...

...what 1911 would be your first choice? I heard someone say the 1911 was the finest of all autoloaders as long as cost efficiency wasn't a factor. I don't know if that's true, but lately i've been trying to learn about 1911s because i want one for my next purchase after the current one. I've...

hey guys, i'm looking to educate myself on 1911s before i start shopping for one. I've never fired a 1911. I'm experienced with semi autos but i'm far more comfortable with revolvers. When the economy went to crap i had to sell m semis.. but now i'm looking to fill the void with what i see...

I've been out of the loop when it comes to guns, but I'm back in and I'm thinking of getting a new gun and selling my Romanian WASR-10 I live in MAss if that matters. The reason I'm asking about this here is because I bought this rifle with two 30 round magazines for around $350. The other...

one of thr thingss i find so great about revolvers is their simplicity. revolvers have changed in form over the years, but the general principle hasnt changed, and the revolver has continued to be a trusted and relied upon firearm since the dag firearms could first be somewhat trusted. ive...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted anything(wow, Feb. 3, 2009) but I wanted to ask about this gun because it's one of a few that I've been thinking about buying. I'm not gonna post about the other guns i'm considering buying because they're not home defense guns. The first thing I have...
