So after a few years of shooting .38/.357, 9mm and plenty of .22lr, I have the itch for a 1911 in .45. :) I've read up on a number of brands at a number of price points, but I keep coming back to the Colts. The current catalog is a bit confusing, so I thought I would ask the experts: If you...

Hi all, I've been using the old standby, Hoppes No. 9 for a while. I recently bought (online) what I thought was the standard No. 9 Solvent It turned out to be Hoppes No. 9 PLUS: "Made especially for back powder shooters. Hoppes 9 PLUS is a black powder solvent and patch lubricant. It...

ArfinGreebly's post in this thread got me thinking...What are some of the best multi-purpose SAK-style folders? The Case Cutlery Jr Scout Pocket Knife was one suggested. I love SAKS, and have more than a half-dozen. But what other high-quality, good fit-and-finish, higher-end models have I...

I'm looking for some one-on-one or small class instruction. I'd like to improve my pistol shooting (range, plinking) at around 7 to 15 yards. I want to shoot better and more consistently. Besides NRA Basic Pistol, I've never had any real instruction. It seems most of the local courses feature...

After months of reading THR and lots of other research, I finally bought my first revolver, a 686 SSR. It fit the requirements of what I was looking for, and felt great in-hand. It's going to the range this week for a box of .38s and a few .357s. But I'm wondering...what is the hand-done...

I'm looking for a revolver that's a compromise between something small enough to carry, and but something I'd be comfortable shooting somewhat regularly. It'd be my first revolver, so I'm looking for kind of a do-it-all in, .38 Special. So the S&W Model 60 Pro has caught my eye...love the...

I’m considering picking up a new 3” Model 36 and am looking at different finishes. I’ve done some searching and reading, but don’t quite get the cost differences or relative advantages of the finishes. Looking at Buds, the prices by finish are about: $770, [correction: case hardened blue]...

I thought this was an interesting story on how gun design "copies" have the potential to bring down a company. From the article: "For years, the AK-47 assault rifle has been the world's most popular weapon...But the global recession and a proliferation of copycats has left the Russian maker...

I thought this was interesting... New Gunsight Improves Marksmanship With Intuitive Aim, Says UAB Vision Scientist http://main.uab.edu/Sites/MediaRelations/

I know this topic has been done to death, but I would love some suggestions on my next EDC. I've looked all over, and nothing is really exciting enough to spend up to $125 or so on. I'd use it pretty lightly, opening packages and cutting the "everyday" things that need to be cut...it doesn't...

I've been a Leathermen multi-tool guy for a while, but when I saw the Gerber Suspension on sale at Target for less than $15, I picked it up. Nice spring-loaded pliers, solid lock-up on the other tools. I haven't used it a lot yet, but so far, so good. It was marked as a clearance item, down...

I've shot bird and buckshot out of my 870 Express, but have never fired a slug. I'd like to do some target practice at a range that only allows slugs. But, I don't understand the characteristics of the barrels well enough (I've searched here, too!). So I have a few basic questions I'm hoping...

Saw this article about the recent and overall trends in gun sales. I think, in an attempt to be balanced, the author mentions both "anti-gun nuts" and "the potentially chilling case that growing numbers of citizens are bearing arms." :scrutiny: http://www.slate.com/id/2204592/pagenum/all/...

I've run a few hundred trap rounds through my 870 Express, and I'd like to do a little deer hunting with it. Anyone have any tips on the best place to find a (cheap) slug barrel for an 870, with a scope-mount--or ideally, a scope already mounted? Thanks!

If you're looking for a Buck 110 and are near a Dicks Sporting Goods location...I was browsing my Sunday paper today and saw that Dicks has Buck 110s on sale for $30, with a $10 mail-in rebate. I've been looking to get a 110 and $20 (after rebate) is the best deal I've seen. They're mostly...

I purchased my first 870 a few months ago. While I’ve made it out for several games of wobble trap and have a few hundred rounds through it, I’m looking for an even cheaper, easier way to practice mounting, firing, etc. (Of course, Dave McCracken’s BA/UU/R is a mantra I’m working toward.) I’ve...

Hey guys, I’ve been picking up folders for the last few years, and have a couple I really enjoy—Spyderco Delica is my usual EDC, and I have a few Benchmades, and the odd Gerber. I’m considering a Randall (Model 15), but I never carry a fixed blade, and it wouldn’t see much use at all. I...

You really can't make this stuff up... "Bailey told sheriff's detective Mark Joseph that Richardson threw the rifle at a wall and it went off, killing him, McEachran said. He then asked for a lawyer, stopping the interview, McEachran said." :confused: http://tinyurl.com/3947x
