    is Leatherman worth the cost?

    I carry a Leatherman Supertool ALL the time. I can't count the times I've desperately needed it. My Supertool has always came through for me. I recall 1 time I was broke down on the side of the road and got going with nothing other than my Leatherman. YES they're worth it and much more!

    30-30 HANDGUN deer bullets and loads.

    I don't have my loading notes in front of me but my Contender w/super 14 barrel rechambered to 30-30ai was deadly with 125 Ballistic tips. STILL wishing I hadn't sold it.

    ballistic tip v soft point

    Why not Nosler Accubonds? They tend to be just as accurate and good ballistic coefficent while providing controlled expansion.

    K31 or Winchester 88?

    Unless you're a reloader I'd go with the win 88 by all means. Have you priced good ammo (7.5 swiss) lately?

    Camping compromise gun, animal vs. people

    Being in Ky I can see no need for anything bigger than my .41 mag Redhawk loaded with hardcast bullets and a couple or 3 speedloaders.

    bought a remington 788 have some questions

    What are you talking about? Surely not Remington model 788. The Remington model 788 is a multi lug rear locking action make by Remington and many (including me) consider them to be just as good as the model 700 or even better. You must be thinking about the model 798/799 series imported by...

    22mag squirrel hunting

    Since I'm a HUGE fan of .22mag and have a few rifles so chambered, it's about all I use when small game hunting. A FMJ bullet out of a .22mag performs exactly (and leaves a wound channel) like a hv.22lr hp. You just have more penetration and range.

    Which revolver for pocket carry?

    The Ruger LCR is a personal favorite of mine. It has a sweet trigger out of box. You can also get it in .357. My wife has a S&W model 442 and it shoots pretty good after I installed a Wolff spring kit in it.

    Would you carry a customized gun for CCW

    All of my firearms-every last 1, has been customized or optimized for more accuracy, reliability, and to be more ergonomically friendly. For example all my handgun grips have to be oversize due to my extra large hands. All my handguns have had full action tunes & hand fitting done to them. They...

    It might not EVER end-you did permanent damage to your hearing. How much you'll be able to determine later.:banghead:

    Hornady Critical Defense Ammo - Is it everything that's advertised?

    I've tried milk jugs filled with water, wet paper,dirt,and other tests and all I know is my backup gun, a Ruger LCP .380, is going to stay loaded with Critical Defense ammo. My main carry .45 is loaded with Winchester Ranger SXT 230 gr +P.

    I want a .22 rifle real bad.

    I feel being a gunsmith for 27+ years DOES qualify me express what I've learned along the way! If you don't like what I feel necessary to share, don't look.

    RIA 1911 .22 kit

    Any of the standard 1911 kits will fit in your RIA. Kimber makes a great shooting 1.

    How do S&B and Fiocchi stack up?

    I've gotten ahold of some bad lots of S&B in .45acp of which several failed to fire. PLEASE reconsider getting an .380 instead of the .25 before you actually have to use it & succeed in pissing somebody off.

    Best Buy .308 rifle

    The Marlin XS-7 is now available in .308 and is an astounding buy when you consider how well they shoot for 300$. I bought 1 for a buddy of mine as an gift, and wound up liking it so much I bought another 1 for an beater/loaner rifle.

    Anyone have experience with a Winchester M88?

    The Winchester model 88 was/is indeed a VERY fine lever rifle. The ONLY downside is parts are pretty hard to come by if something breaks (which is unlikely).

    WalMart 700 Remington; same as others ?

    They are exactly the same. Wally world is cheaper because they buy thousands nationwide at greatly reduced prices.

    I want a .22 rifle real bad.

    The Marlin/Glenfield model 60 has came a long way since the past when they used to be jam-o-matics but the facts remain that the 10/22 is overall the most reliable .22 semiauto rifle ever designed. I've worked on model 60s numbering in the dozens over the years to even THINK about liking them...
