Can you hunt squirells with a 12ga. if you used a very light load ? Would the meat still be good ? If you can , what choke would you use and what load ? Haven't hunted squirrels since I was a kid , using a pellet gun .

Why do more people prefer semi auto handguns over revolvers for ccw or nightstand guns ? Is it just because they hold more ammo ? It seems to me that for the average person a revolver is a better choice - Easier to operate and clean - less can go wrong when ts hits tf .

I want to use the same ammo for defence and practice at the range . Because using 357 mag and 38spl. 125 gr. +P jhp is so unpleasant for me to shoot with my 2.25" SP101 , I use 158gr. 38spl. flat nose jsp for practice and carry . I know it's probably not the best defence load but I think its...

At the range I go to they only sell sellier & ballot ammo . I'm shooting a 4" Ruger GP100 357 mag. Sometimes I feel some stuff hitting me in the face . Is the stuff hitting me because of the cheap anmmo or is it normal for that to happen with a revolver . Could it be a timing issue ? It's a gun...

Anybody out their own one ? How do you like it ? I'm thinking about getting one for a hiking / trail gun and a target shooting gun . Might even use it for a ccw sometimes if I could find the right kind of holster for it .

Is it ok/legal to use pepper spray on someone who wants to start throwing punches or does it have to be more serious than that . Example : A guy in late his fiftys , in relativly good shape but has bad knees , some arthritis and bursitis , Hasn't been in a fist fight since his 20's , is...

Why isn't the .40 more popular ? A lot of police depts. now use it . But most gun owners here seem to prefer the the 9 mil. or the 45acp for a carry weapon . What's wrong with the .40 ?

what would you do ? I was just reading the thread about the border agent shooting the dog . Recently I saw another thread about a park ranger shooting a dog [ can't remember which forum it was on ] . A woman was walking her dog off a leash and a park ranger shot the dog when it approached him ...

Which grips are better , soak up recoil better , look better , fit the hand better ? Or is it just a matter of personal preference ?

I have been using 125 gr. jhp 38+p and 357 ammo for my sd ccw ammo . I practice shooting with and have my sights adjusted to Sellier & Ballot 158 gr. jsp - it's the only ammo the range sells . I especially don't like shooting the 125 jhp +p with my 5 shot snubby - stings my hand . I'd like...

Does anyone out there use a Ruger 45 acp pistol for there ccw ? What type of holster ? How do you like it compared to other guns you own or have owned ?

On a box of Remington 12 gauge slugs I have , there is trajectory data on the back of the box . It shows the drop in inches out to 100 yards . 25 yd drop is .5" , 50 yd - 2.1" drop , 75 yd - 5.3" and 100 yd. 10.4" . Can anyone tell me where I could find this type of information for 45 acp ...

I replaced the factory grips on my SP with the Hogue rubber grips . Although they are better - for me - than the original grips wich were too small for my hand . I don't really like the finger grooves . Does anyone here know if the grips from the Ruger GP100 3" barrel fixed sight will fit on...

I don't "carry" 24/7 but I always ccw when I go to a mall , any large store or any place where there are crowds . If ts hit tf and some psyco or terrorist started shooting inocent people , I would NOT go after the gunman even though I think that would be the right thing to do . I would only...

I've read a LOT of posts on this forum and seen many pics . I don't remember ever seeing anything about the Ruger KP345PR - Ruger's only 45 acp pistol - and the only Ruger pistol you can legally buy in MA. . I have Ruger revolvers and think they are great guns and from what I've read on this...

I was checking out the " show them off with pics " thread and .45 posted a picture of a Carcano . Is it rare ? Is it milsurp - from what country ? What ammo does it shoot ? Is it an expensive rifle ? Where can I get one ?

I have learned , from reading posts on this forum , that different handguns/revolvers "like" certain brands or types of ammo . Up till now I've only been shooting the ammo the range sells - Lellier & Ballot 158gr. fmj .38 and 357 . I know that this is not the recomended SD type ammo . I want to...

I've heard all the talk about what's best , higher round capacity for semi auto's or goes " bang " every time for revolvers . I have a Ruger SP101 for a ccw . Lately I've been considering getting a 45 acp semi auto for a ccw . But last night I was watching one of those cop video shows . What...

If you have one , how do you like it ? How does it compare with the 4" barell GP100 ? Does it shoot about the same as the 4" ? Does it weigh much less ? Do you use it for concealed carry ? I'm thinking of buying one [ might trade in my 4" GP ] but the gunshops don't have them on display so I...

Unless you are a competition target shooter , why bother having them on a handgun ? Even if you were going to hunt with a handgun , at the limited ranges that you could hunt with the handgun , why bother to have them . Do they really make that much diference . I have a Ruger GP100 and really...
