    Trying to find where I can post about a handgun I want to sell

    Your best bet locally is Spokane gun trader https://www.spokaneguntrader.com/. You now have to do any privet sales through an ffl in Washington state. The last guns I sold were to a ffl dealer because of the new laws. I am now in Moses Lake WA,I see I need to update my location.

    How About Some Charter Arms Love?

    Having owned several charter arms guns, they are OK .They will serve if that is what you can afford. To me a Colt, S&W and Ruger are worth the extra cost. I had a 5 shot and 6 shot 38 sp and a 44 bulldog, they all worked and were OK but they were loose and I replaced the hammer springs in the 38...

    Favorite 45's?

    For steel guns, I like the 1911. for striker fired I like the Glock 21. For Double action I like the Sig 220. Revolvers are the S&W 25 in double action and Ruger Black hawk in Single action. :) Hard to have a favorite

    Thinking of .22 Revolver but which one?

    Any of the those listed above are great. The Dan Wesson 22 is also great. I currently have a Single Six but have owned a Colt Official Police, S&W 17, 617, 34 and a Dan Wesson 22. They were all good guns. I have kept the Single Six because of the duel cylinders (22lr & 22 mag) but really...

    Why are shotguns so reviled for big game hunting?

    I grow up on a sheep ranch in Washington State. A rifle was common in most sheep camps with an occasional handgun. We wintered in the Yakima Valley and rented pasture from the local farmers, a 12 ga shot gun was what most of them kept on the back porch. In the late 60s and early 70s, after...

    What's the future of .40 S&W?

    I don't think the 40 is going away soon. I like it for a woods gun with 180 gr bullets. It is more the man behind the gun than the caliber. so a 9mm or 38 sp is a good couch for most. Me I like all of them and now am not into mag calibers. I don't think the 40 will disappear soon. There are...

    What's your age group and what do you carry?

    Am 68 and always carry a keltec 32 and a S&W 15 38sp part time. The guns that I used to carry now hurt to shoot. Recently trades a 44 Bulldog for a S&W 15. For some reason a 1911 and Glock 21 are still pain free. It is hell to get old but will quit shooting when am in the grave. :D

    Colt Gold Cup vs. Kimber Custom Target SS II

    Buy the one you want, either will be about the same for accuracy. If you want a FLGR it can be added to the Gold Cup. I have always regretted settling for other than my first choice. :D

    Have you switched to become a revolver guy?

    Have equal # of both like autos for CCW and revolvers fro field carry(woods etc) Am happy with either. Like 45 colt for woods and 45acp for CCW. However load for and shoot other calibers. :D

    Is my US property 1917 S&W 45 junk?

    If the gun is in good mechanical shape there is no reason to call it junk. This is the same gun (but not in 44 sp) that Keith used to shoot hot/hot 44 sp in for a lot of years. The steel should be of the same hardness as they were constructed in the same time period. If it were mine I would...

    Self defence, Power VS accuracy

    For my wife a 22 S&W 422 is the best chose. She can and will practice with it and shoots it well enough for close quarters defense but will not shoot any larger calibers. For me any thing from 38/9mm up is OK, and if a 22lr is all I have it is OK too. :)

    new to revolvers...looking for compact advice

    You need to shoot some of the revolvers that you are interested in before you buy. Small revolvers -j frame S&W and the like are hard to shoot accurately. Generally for new guns Ruger and S&W are your best chose with Charter arms a distant third IMHO. And the steel frame ones will handle recoil...

    Best Cal. for a S.D. Handgun?

    ^^^ This is the correct answer. For me in a full size gun any thing from 9mm/38sp up but my wife has weak hand strength and will not shoot any thing but her 22lr S&W 422.

    Can you shoot them all good?

    Good is not the same as equal. Good for a pocket pistol or snub revolver is different than good for a 22 target pistol. Service size pistols and revolvers are easier to shoot than small guns. A person has to chose a gun that fits their life stile and they can shoot well enough to get the job...

    Walther PPQ VS Smith M&P VS Sig 2022

    I prefer the Walther and Sig over the S&W. I have a Sig 2022 in 40 and a P99QA in 9MM and had a M&P 40c and friends with M&P full size in 9 and 40. Recently I down sized when we moved to Los Vegas and kept the Walther and Sig as well as a Glock 21. This is a personal preference but for me...

    Have you finally found one that won't be messed with?

    I keep any gun that I carry factory correct. My Glock 21, Sig 2022 and Walther P99QA are all stock. In the past I have experimented with after market parts on Glocks and have always went back to stock. On revolvers I only change grips to fit my large hands. 1911s are a different matter but they...

    TC Contender accuracy questions - handgun

    The original contender needs no work to shoot accurate. The contender II and encore may need a little trigger work but are usually OK. There is no need to tighten the barrel pin or reinforce the breach. Save your money for ammo.

    1911 Diminishing returns?

    I agree with 1858, most of 1911 shooters will never need better than the colt you have. There is pride in ownership and some times extra confidence in a special built gun. So you will have to answer your question based on what you want rather than what some one else thinks. As an example...

    45 acp load help

    Not sure why this is in the revolver section but I have found the Lee factory crimp die will fix a lot of problems when shooting 45 ACP in different guns. Do the drop test (take the barrel out of the gun and drop live ammo in to it to see if they chamber all the way with out any help). A gun...
