I am going to get a Savage 110 soon, probably an old used one. I want it for deer, and maybe the occasional elk, if I ever get another elk permit. Most used 110's are 30.06, 7mm, sometimes 270, and 300. I am leaning towards a 7mm or a 30.06, but have never shot either. Now, I know that it...

I am finally contemplating getting a double barrel (SXS) shotgun, after wanting one for many years... preferably a nice older European make. But, being uninformed about the terms used in shotguns, I am a bit confused. Can you help me out with explaining some of these, and what the terms mean...

Two functional pieces If I had to keep just two, it would be my 32 hammerless Smith & Wesson (Lemon squeezer), because it has a holster built into a pair of my suspenders, and my 1949 Model 94 Winchester. If I had to keep 2 vehicles, I would keep my 35 Ford, and the 26 Buick. If I had to keep...

I guess I am not radical enough I am just getting back to THR after a few years. As I expected, it seems that so many are hopped up on fears that everything will come crashing down any moment. I just don't understand. I have been a gun owner for 45 years, and I firmly support controls on...

It's all in the name I like all the 1911's. I like Colts because they sometimes say 'Government' on them, and that feels important. I like Springfields because Indian Motorcycles were made in Springfield Mass. Kimbers are great... once knew a big chested gal named Kimberly, and they remind me...

USAF Pistol Team My father was on the USAF pistol team in the mid 1950's and traveled quite a bit in the 4 or 5 years he shot on the team. His pistol was a Colt 1911A1 45 of course, and he always used to talk about the 'secret' to becoming accurate with a pistol... hold it loosely. I am sure...

My gal shoots a pair of Single Sixes in .32 H&R mag, and I am thinking of getting her a pair of Vaqueros or Blackhawks in a larger caliber... perhaps .44 or .45 LC. How much different is the feel, recoil, etc? She is 5'9", and solid, but I don't want to overdo it. I have never fired the larger...

If you are shipping a firearm legally, you need a Federal Firearm License holder to send it (FFL). Easiest way to find one? Go to Gunbroker.com, look at any listing, and down a ways in the listing it will have something to click on to find a FFL in your area. You pay them about $20, and then you...

Man! People are desperate for something to complain about. "Packing Heat'? Now, that is inocuous. "Killing" is a far worse term. Or "abuse". or Lock and load. Even "lets give our plan for Iraq a chance" is far more destructive in lives. Give me a break! Why not talk about the important things?

My Grandmothers How many home defence guns are there that are actually used for just that? My Grandmother Vella kept a .22 Special in her house in North Carolina for defense. One night, (maybe about 1925?), a man came in through a window, probably to rob the place. He was confronted by my...

I have to speak up again here... as a Paladin fan, I am fairly well sold on his cool and intelligence, but when it comes to realism, one can not ignore some of the others out there. Hopalong Cassidy actually was quite realistic, concerning the weapons. And why not? William Boyd was a SSA...

I recently got back into firearms after a 30 year hiatus... even though I still have my Ruger Single six that I bought in 1967. I have my old shotgun, an old 22 semi-auto rifle, and a couple of black powder Hawken Rifles (I am embarrassed to say, I have never shot). I developed a severe need for...

Handguns are just like pickup trucks and pocket knives... everybody has a strong opinion. If you ask, "what is wrong with Chevy's", you will get a firestorm of complaints from Ford owners... many who have never even sat in a Chevy. Taurus handguns are very fine. The price is right. I have a PT...

Guns are like women Your predicament reminds me that guns are so much like women. You need to keep feeding them the same line, or they get cranky on you. I suspect that you did no harm (I have done similar things myself without dire results). Also reminds me of "Rodeo Love" with a woman (kinda...

I recently bought an old Colt that had been reblued in the past, and it got me to thinking. How can you tell if a pistol has been reblued? Also, how does it affect the value of an old collectible firearm? I admit to not knowing very much about it, and so I'd appreciate some thoughts on the...

"There is no room for intolerance in the gun community." I have to admit, I am new to The High Road. But, I am starting to doubt that "The High Road" is the correct name for such a diverse group of ... well, intolerant people. I have to admit I am surprised... really surprised. But, I don't...

If we are talking about TV Cowboys, then Paladin certainly is the ultimate. He was a threatening presence when confronting the bad guys, but had sophistication and inteligence to back it up. I have the complete DVD set of all the Have Gun Will Travel episodes, and the thing that strikes me from...

$40,000 is the cost. But, what I would love is one of the "Field Kitchens" for $6,000. And, no FFL is needed!

It was down... up now. It is my fault. I admit it. I bid so many times on a Merkle that the site locked up. I learned my lesson... The Argentine 1911 that I want I shall ignore... But if any of you try to touch my Smith and Wesson double action, I shall start the bidding war again!

Ebay and Paypal are not the same! Ebay owns Paypal. But Paypal sets it's own rules as to what it will allow it's service to pay for. Can you imagine the crap that Paypal would fall into if it allowed it's service to pay for firearms? How would they comply with the law and make sure everyone...
