    One more vote for the Bearcat. When she has grown a bit she will want a Single-Six, so start saving for that one.

    .22LR Ammo for Pistol Competition

    I recently tried Federal Auto Match from Wal Mart in the 325 packs. They worked without fail, and the barrel of the Walther p22 was clean with two patches. I tried Remington Thunderbolts also, and they functioned well, but the barrel was pretty nasty, with lots of shaved lead to clean out...

    Are there Any Tack Driving .22 cal. under $500?

    Look for a Winchester 74 in good condition. Reliable, easy to service, and a tackdriver. They show up on the used racks once in a while. Never mind; I was thinking rifles.

    I still shoot the Ithaca 49 my dad bought for me 45 years ago. I just recently looked at a Savage Model 30G Stevens "Favorite". It gave me severe gun itch. It's a gun a kid will keep for a lifetime. If you get her a Ruger Single Six, put a spring kit in it and she will shoot it well from...

    Did I just break my new Blackhawk? Help

    Ruger Lockup The hammer plunger may be broken. I have seen this happen on Single Sixes a couple of times and it locks up when the loading gate is closed. This is an easy piece to manufacture yourself, but since the gun is new, have the factory fix it if it is broken.

    Good knife for a one armed 10yo boy ?

    Favorite One Handed Openers The Gerber Mini Covert Applegate-Fairbairn is a good one handed small knife. It is slightly under 3", making it legal to carry almost anywhere. My son carried one for protection through college. CRKT makes a nice variety of knives with a Carson Flipper for quick...
