    Glock, the awakening...

    For EDC, i choose to use a tool that is reliable, durable and not so expensive that when it gets "carry worn" I don't really shed a tear. I have no emotional attachment to any of my guns, that's what wives and family are for. I do however, have respect for tools that work and for me that is...

    How do You Carry Big Revolvers?

    When carrying a rifle and walking I prefer an El Paso crossdraw. When riding a 4 wheeler knocking around the club property I carry strongside a model 629 4 inch in a Cyclone 100 holster most times. When sitting in a stand, I like the el Paso tanker with the 629. I also sometimes use the...

    Heaviest Trigger Pull You've Ever Encountered?

    For me, the AMT Backup (DA version) or the Taurus .22 revolver (don't remember the model, it's the small one) have some of the heaviest triggers I have owned and shot.

    Why the hate for the XD?

    I look at the polymer guns as tools, much like a hammer. I'm probably considered a Glock fanboy, but I would not say I "love" them. They work, I shoot them well and I have confidence in their ability to go bang and put the bullet where I aim it. Glocks are very easy to work on, have an...

    My God, I stole it

    4" 617 is one of my favorites. Big gun feel and function in a .22 rimfire. What's not to love! I looked for quite some time to find one in the condition I wanted. Everyone who shoots it asks how much I'd sell it for. No one has offered me enough yet and I'm afraid at this point it'd take a...

    Springfield m6 22/410

    They are a nifty little gun. You can replace the hinge pin with a bolt and wingnut to allow for easy assembly/disassembly. You do need to be careful with the paracord wrap because you can put a bend in the barrels if it's too tight. The paracord does make a better foregrip though. I store...

    The pistol that James Bond should carry!

    Capacity vs Caliber - 9 vs 45

    I'm old and lately I've been carrying 9mm more and more. Glock 19 with 15+1 rounds is hard to beat. I do still carry a .45 sometimes out of nostalgia.

    Glock 36 reliability

    Have owned and carried a 36 a fair amount over the last few years. Serial HPGXXX and it's been flawless. Probably over 500 rounds, but definitely less than 1000 and have not had trouble with it other than a couple of ammo related failure to go into battery. I now have moved on to a 30s when I...

    Bobbing Hammer Spur

    I have an Iterarms 774a revolver I bobbed the hammer on. It did become less reliable (soft primer strikes) than before the bob. I had removed a couple of coils off the mainspring prior to the hammer bob to lighten the trigger pull. I replaced the mainspring and this revolver was once again...

    Smith and Wesson .38 Military and Police Model 10

    Beautiful revolvers guys! I have a Model 10 and an old 5 screw M&P snub. Fun and far more accurate mechanically than I am.

    What Is Your Drawer Gun?

    Glock 19. My revolvers are used for range or hunting. This is not an emotional decision, just my opinion, nothing more.

    .44 Magnum guys, help me decide

    Here's my .02 cents worth. I own a Super Redhawk 7.5" in .44 Super BlackHawk 7.5" in .44 BlackHawk Bisley 6.5" in .45 (not exact, but close) BlackHawk 5.5" in .45 (not exact, but close) 629 4" 629 6" Of these, my number one favorite is the 629 4". This revolver is on my hip whenever I'm in...

    King Cobra...who will buy one?

    I'd like to see Colt produce da wheel guns again. I already own two KCs: a 6" and a 4". I enjoy shooting both so I don't see myself purchasing one if they come out with them again BUT, a blued Python 4"! I'm all over that!

    Another Taurus quality thread.

    I own 2 Taurus revolvers, a 94 and a 66 both stainless. The 66 had to go back due to canted sights and a broken extractor. Taurus fixed it up and I've not had a problem with it but I rarely shoot it. The 94 I don't shoot much either, but I do carry it in the "trunk" of my 4-wheeler all the...

    Need Holster for 4" S&W 629

    I'll have to be a third to recommend the Tanker by El Paso. I just got one this year and have started to use it in the field some. It is very comfortable and is great for carry on an ATV or in the truck when working the property. It also works well while sitting in a tree stand while hunting...

    Which 44mag to buy?

    My favorite field use .44 is a S&W 629 4". I have shot more deer, more hogs, more snakes and more small varmints with that one firearm than any of my other firearms mainly due to it is almost always on my hip in the field. I've owned it for about 20 years, shot thousands of rounds of...

    Johnny Ringo rig

    That is a beautiful rig! It's a work of art and your color work on the leather looks fantastic! I'd be proud to wear that!

    What to carry into the woods?

    Where I hunt here in Florida, we have a lot of black bear. They have become a nuisance, destroying feeders and I even had one rip a game cam off a tree. I have been within 25 yards of one more than once. While none have acted aggressively, I had a large male stand on his hind legs to get a...

    S&W 340PD - a super lightweight defensive machine

    Fantastic report and a fun read. You should write for one of the gun rags! I have a 340 M&P. I chose it simply because I liked the tritium front sight. It's about 2 ounces heavier, but I don't see that as a handicap.
