I found and bought for cheap! It is a S&W model 36-no dash with the old flat latch and was made in 1961 me thinks. It is perfect mechanically but cosmetically challenged, not abused. Had Herrett's stocks on it, also well worn-with the paper sticker still inside. I MAY redo the stocks in the...

Does anybody know what handgun is issued by the Pennsylvania State Police to their officers? Any information about their regulations on a backup gun? Thanks.

In the local shop when a lady came in. Lives alone, drove herself in. Was in the process of renewing her CC license. All done but waiting for it to be processed. Visited with her a bit. Good conversation. She is 91 years old! Congratulations!

Took my Ruger American 9mm out yesterday. First, I was shooting a mix of Winchester white box and PMC FMJ's. Ate out a nice, small hole out of the target. Switched over to Blaser brass. Target looked like an improved cylinder pattern-at least 4 X the group size of the others! Then I loaded up...

I took delivery of my S&W Shield yesterday. Have not shot it yet, but like it's feel and features so far. EXCEPT ONE. The magazines are just barely short of impossible to load! The springs in them could double for overload springs on my GMC pickup! Any advise other than leaving them loaded in...

I have ordered for arrival this week a S&W Shield, .45acp with the safety and three dot sights. Seem to get great reviews on the Shield and those of us who like the .45 seem to be tickled pink with it. I'll report on it later. Any comments from owners or others quite welcome.

While cleaning out my FIL's house, I found some ammo. It is factory Remington from much earlier. It is .38 special lead round nose but with a 200 grain bullet. Isn't that quite heavy for the .38? Did it have any specific purpose either then or now? Thx.

Had a friend who was into guns in a big way for many, many years. Had a CCW and carried all the time, mostly a S&W J-frame. Three vermin in our town kidnapped a lady for her car, put her in the trunk, hauled her to a secluded place, took her out and murdered her. Used the car as a getaway...

I'm going to pick up my new Ruger American in 9mm today. Report on it later but I'd welcome anybody's input who already has one. Thanks.

I need a true 'mouse fart' load for my wife to shoot in her Ruger LCR in .38 special. Her hand strength and stamina is limited and is a bit arthritic. I will be using 125 gr cast RN and Bullseye powder. How low can I go without getting in trouble? I also COULD use the same bullets with...

My wife's CCW is a Ruger LCR. She shoots it ok but has the beginnings of a cataract and her eyesight is not as good as it was once. She wanted a laser for her birthday. Got a set of Crimson Trace grips with laser, installed them and sighted it in. She loves the thing! Shoots it really...

My wife carries a Ruger LCR .38 special. She has decided she wants a laser added to it. Any products I should look at other than Crimson Trace? Any pluses or minuses to lasers and CT in particular would be helpful in her making a choice. Thanks.

Got out EARLY this am to shoot my S&W 649. All stainless, J-frame, 5 shot, 2 1/8" bbl .357 Mag. It also has the dreaded lock which I ignored and will continue to do so. Quite an accurate gun it seems although target accuracy was not the main point of this 'break in voyage'. Shot a bunch...

Been looking for a bit but finally ordered one. It is a S&W J-frame .357. This one is all stainless (no lightweight), 2 1/8" barrel with the shrouded hammer. Shouldn't snag, but can be thumb cocked if you want to shoot it that way. It does have the lock which doesn't bother me and will almost...

What is the general opinions concerning Taurus handguns of late AND how well is Taurus at handling customer service? Thanks!

I am looking at a Colt SAA clone. It is made by Great Western Arms Co. and is a .45 Colt caliber with fake stag grips and a 5 1/2" barrel. I know that they were made only from about 1964-74 to compete with the Colts which were, at that time, climbing in price. This one is in great shape...

Found a rifle for sale. It is a Winchester made ranger or some such. I take it that it is a Winchester made gun made for Sears, Western Auto or some such. Looks like a Model 70 to me and it is in .270. Made in the USA? and not Japan or somewhere it seems. Question is, how much LESS is it...

Last Saturday, I went to our deer least. Decided to take my firearm to check zero and shoot it a bit. Believe it or not, deer season will be here soon! Firearm is a Freedom Arms in .454. Ammo was factory Winchester 300 gr JSP. I forgot two things: 1. Accuracy of that thing is amazing...

Just got home with it. Bought a S&W 642-1 ANIB airweight. No lock, box etc with it and it has been 'broken in'---by being fired SIX times. Gotta take it out and shoot it soon and will give a range update then. Looks to be a sweet carry piece. We'll soon see.

Just TOO NICE to stay inside yesterday. Went out to the range to shoot some 9mm's. I shoot .45's most often, but wanted to shoot a couple of 9's yesterday. First I have a 1911 9mm on an Essex frame and slide with a Cart match barrel. Wonderful shooter and I shot it a good bit yesterday...
