    First time shooting BP, range report

    I have a really nice Uberti Cimarron 1860 Army .44 that I finally got to the range to shoot. I loaded it up with 24g of Triple Seven fffg and used wonder wads and bore butter over the ball. I used CCI #11 magnum caps (all the store had) and set my target at 25 yards. I aimed about 18" low and...

    THR calls it - trade my glock 30 for a Ruger GP100?

    I own both calibers and I say keep the Glock. If you ever have to shoot it for self defense it'll have less recoil, make less noise (at least in my experince the .357 is about the loudest handgun I have shot indoors and out), probably have less chance of over penetration, and you'll have 4 more...

    9 mm FMJ Point Blank Gunshot Wound (Warning - GRAPHIC PICS!!)

    I appreciate you sharing that incident with the rest of us. I carry a Glock 23 so they hit home for me. Those pics gave me a sobering reminder of how dangerous even a little carelessness (and honestly, who among us can say that we haven't been at least a little careless sometime in handling a...

    357 magnum sp101 Recoil?

    Ditto that. If you ever have to fire a .357 in a closed area you might damage your hearing permanently, if not lose it altogether. That's a mighty loud round...:evil:

    Shot 4 new pistols today; first impressions.

    If you liked the Glock 22 try a G23. Same caliber but in a compact size. I've carried one for about a year and have close to 2000 rounds through it with no failures. Utilitarian and blocky, well, yes. They ain't pretty but they are reliable and accurate, shoot anything you feed them, and are...

    Got to check out the PT 1911 today

    I looked at one in a local gunstore a couple of weeks ago. I liked it but the 600.00 price tag sent me away empty handed.

    Looking for feedback on Rugers LCP 380

    I think mine is a great little gun. Do a search for Ruger LCP on just about any gun forum and you'll get all the feedback you can handle. Probably the most discussed gun out there at the moment.

    Recommend me a CCW holster for a G19

    I have a G23 (same size as the G19 just in .40 caliber) and I use an MTAC from Comp-Tac. Excellent concealment holster.

    what are some MUST HAVE semi-automatic pistols??

    a Glock, any caliber. A good mousegun too, like the Ruger LCP or one of the Kel-Tec models...and of course a good 1911. I'm looking for one too add to my own collection.

    Rohrbaugh R9s versus Ruger LCP

    How's that Rohrbaugh shoot? I've been wanting a pocket-size 9mm and have been looking hard at these. Pricey, but I figure it's a one time purchase for something that might just save my life someday. I've handled the Kahr's, Kel-Tec's, and I have a little NAA 22lr. But NObody has a Rohrbaugh in...

    Taurus revolver quality

    I have a Taurus 66 7-shot that I've put around 600 rounds though. It's a great shooter, trigger is smooth as glass, finish is excellent ( I have the blued model). I use mostly Magtech ammo 158gr. ammo for practice and Gold Dot 125gr or 158gr for SD. It shoots everything just fine. I haven't...

    Fair Price for S&W 642

    I picked one up at Sportsman's Warehouse a couple of weeks ago for 360.00. It doesn't have the CT grips but I didn't want them. I might add some later but I thought it would be better to learn to shoot it accurately without them first. I'm lazy and would rely on them WAY too much. It would be my...

    Can ANYONE Find a Springfield EMP?

    I have been wanting one of these for several months now. The only place I have seen one in stock was Gander Mountain in Fredericksburg Va and they wanted 1300.00 for it. I ain't paying that for it. I picked up a S&W 642 :D to hold me over until I can find one cheaper, IF I ever find one cheaper.

    S&W 642 score!

    Thanks for the kind replies. I took the 642 with me to Wal-Mart last night to see how it 'fit'. I slipped it into the front pocket of my Carhart jacket and almost forgot it was there. I have a small piece of velcro sewn into the lower part of the pocket that keeps it closed when I have my Glock...

    S&W 642 score!

    :DI picked up a brand new S&W 642-2 for 360.00 at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. I've wanted one of these for a long time and this is the cheapest I've seen them new. I just checked locally a while back and they were 440.00. Very nice and easily concealable little revolver. I took it straight...
