I'm looking for a NIB .22lr DA snub nose revolver, that will not cost +$500 like a S&W. Has anyone own handled or owned either of these revolvers? Both are about the same price, but which is the better buy?

I have a chance to purchase either a cheap Charter Arms .22lr or .32 H&R revolver as a trainer gun. I basically want something that has low recoil/flash/ and bang to train newbies to shooting. I know the .22lr will do the trick, but I noticed that Charter arms makes a .32 H&R magnum revolver...

New show is going to have celebrities train as police officers and carry real guns....I need to get me a vest. :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061128/ap_en_tv/people_estrada

My shooting friends and I had a friendly disagreement about this. Test have shown that a 9mm glaser round will still sail thru at least 6 sheets of dry wall. Birdshot will stop in the second sheet of drywall (representing one wall of a home), but birdshot is a questionable manstopper. Is...

I went out shooting yesterday. It was the last day in November, Beautiful day almost reaching 70 degrees in PA, I snuck out of work early...I love Global Warming:D . Anyway I'm at an outdoor pistol range, and a older guy sets up next to me, when I was just finishing up. He plops down a box of...

This subject came up on another thread, and unfortunately I did not have a chance to explain my reasoning. At times I enjoyed reading and contributing to some of the treads on THR, but I usually avoided the L&P section, or thread that have nothing to do with firearms or tactics. I think it...

I'm finally taking the plunge, and I'm going to start Deer hunting next year (too late now:( ). I live in PA and many of my friends hunt, but with work and family it has been hard to take the time to do it. I have finally settled into my business, and with the kids being older, my wife (got to...

Holly heck, did anyone see Glen Beck's show on Muslim extremism? Kids in Iran and Palestine are watching cartoons on how to be a terrorist? The Torch in the Statue of Liberty is filled with skulls. They are nutz, and we are screwed if Iran gets the bomb.

Someone shopping for a compact 9mm asked me this question the other day and I kind of shrugged. I shot a XD subcompact, and its a decent gun, slighty lower recoil than a Glock 26. The XD had some real problems early on (rust), but now I would say they came around and are pretty reliable...

I'm not a fan of Bush, but I smell something fishy with the NYT article that the Bush adminstration leak sensitive Nuclear weapons info from a posting of Iraqi documents from 1993 to 2002. Here is the portion of the article that raise my eyebrow. :scrutiny: did you catch it? Apparently a...

Looks like the old AK-47. No Orange Mag. Hey You!! No Picture!! http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/061015/ids_photos_wl/r4108396900.jpg PS Hey admin..If I'm replying to the original poster, How come my response is first???

Just flicking around I saw something about the first year of the Iraq war on Frontline. I usually think that PBS is a bunch of liberal BS but Frontline usually does decent documentaries on various wars and conflicts. They did one about Rwanda that was excellent, and was critical of the Clinton...

I'm checking out the selection of rifles at Springfield Armory and I'm looking at getting (when I get the money, which is going to be a while) either a Standard M1A which is an almost copy of the military M14, or the SOCOM II, which is a M14 with a 16 inch barrel, the infamous M14L. I have...

Should be interesting...

So far I have to admit the Springfield XD subcompact 9mm has tame recoil for it size, however it is pushing the boundaries of COMPACT pocket pistols. I feel the Glock 26 comes in at a close 2nd. I fired a Kahr PM9 and a Kel-tec P11 and I feel the Kahr is somewhere in the middle and the P11...

In the saga of my friend moving from revolvers to a "plastic" DAO type semi auto, I had the chance to shoot a Springfield XD 9mm Subcompact for the first time. Good points are that the gun is very accurate for it size, the grip is comfortable, and the recoil is slightly less of a Glock 26...

I'm not trying to start a debate about the overall quality of with these weapons, I just want to talk about triggers comparison. I have a friend that is considering buying either a Glock 26 or a Springfield XD subcompact. He owns a few revolver but this would be his first Semi auto. He has tried...

Apparently the Muslim world is up in arms about something the Pope said. He actually quoted something an old Emperor said to a Persian scholar. I bet is it going to turn into another "Mohameed Bombhead cartoon" moment and violence will insue. Why is it that Muslims turn a blind eye when radical...

I have been trolling Gun Forums for years and posted on a few, somewhere I picked up the term Mall Ninja, and everyone on various gun forums agree that the term means a person who is super tactical, a wannabe civilian commando. Unfortunately I dropped the term in conversation with my wife...

I own a Glock 17 and a Kel-Tec P3at and I love both guns, now I'm looking into buying either a Glock 26 or a KT P-11 for winter carry. Both have pluses and minuses in my book (Glock had better quality and I can use my 17 mags in it, The P-11 is smaller and cheaper) but which is a better. I am...
