I used to think that revolvers were overpriced too, until I pulled the sideplate and grips off one and watched everything work. It's honestly amazing - when you pull the trigger or cock that hammer, so many things are happening at once, in such precise timing, that it's really sort of...

Absolutely 100% agree - gunowners oftentimes perpetuate the notion that we are all shady and dangerous criminals by ACTING like shady, dangerous criminals. Not intentionally, but just by assuming a 'guilty' attitude when discussing or performing their hobby.

Not at all. I currently own: Taurus Smith and Wesson H&K Ruger Charter Rossi Marlin Walther Remington and Springfield.

(This is my opinion only. If you disagree, that's fine - you won't change my mind) If you are going to give your money to only ONE organization, the NRA is it. They have faults, but they make the most concentrated effort towards doing what needs to be done. They're large, powerful, and are your...

I live in Alabama, so take what I say with the understanding that the deep south views things differently, but every time I get pulled over (which doesn't happen much anymore) I hand the officer my pistol permit along with my driver's license. Also note that I'm not a reckless driver, but I...

You will eventually regret it, speaking from experience. In my opinion it's better to keep a firearm unless it is unsafe or you have duplicates. You'll eventually pull it out of the safe and it will be the perfect thing to shoot, if that makes sense. S&W revolvers are only going up in price...

I have had this happen using cheaply manufactured ammunition, and it is irritating and unsafe. I had an entire box of Blazer 158gr +p pop the bullets out of the case under recoil, and completely lock up the cylinder - I threw the box in the trash. I have also had it happen a few times with...

I've got an M68 that is going on 20 years old, and it is a great gun. Has had a ton of rounds through it, and it locks up and shoots just as fine as a new gun. It's been carried in a holster for nearly all those 20 years by my father and then me, and it's only just now showing signs of...

I have a Rossi snub .38 that has had over 3000 rounds through it, and it still locks up and shoots as good as the day I bought it (that is: good).

(Click for big) Pics above. You can see the damage to the finish on the cylinder, but I've decided to leave it alone for a few reasons: 1) It's the factory blue, and anything I do to it is going to the cylinder isn't going to match the rest of the gun. 2) It ain't that bad, and it ain't...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but try this site for ammo deals: http://gun-deals.com/ammo It has breakdowns of cost per round including shipping fromn a lot of places on the internet. Still having trouble finding .38spl locally. Bass Pro Shop, Walmart, and Academy are all out. I found a few...

It looks like a tooling mark to me too, but it could also be the beginning of a split that will make your gun blow up in your face. It ain't worth the risk, and even if it is safe, it's a cosmetic defect on a brand new gun. I'd definitely send it back.

We have a miniature dachshund who is getting on in years (nearly 12 years old), but he is the best guard dog I have ever owned. He will be asleep in the back bedroom, and come to alert as soon as someone begins to pull into our driveway. He can even recognize cars - if it's my fiancee or one...

If I had I would have taken all his ammo too, I'm going broke feeding my range habit these days! I'm sort of relieved to read your responses, I had some serious doubt in my mind when I was driving home from the store. I have quite a few guns, and have shot all my life (I generally get to the...

I'm right handed and left eye dominant, and leave both open. It's dangerous to do otherwise, in my opinion.

I have an IWB clip-on one for my Taurus 24/7, and it has held up well to daily carry and plenty of range exercises over the past 18 months. I'd buy one again.

I was buying ammo Monday and a revlover caught my eye in the used gun case. They had a S&W Mod 15-3 in 4" blued with Pachmeyer "gripper" grips for $179. The bluing has some holster wear (The cylinder needs to be reblued) but the bore is perfect, rifling is perfect, and the trigger pull was so...
