    My first Revolver - Pics

    Nice looking firearm. Don't sell your current grips short - you may find that the nicest looking walnut grips don't provide the same positive feel as the ones you already have. I tried some FANCY checkered walnut grips on a S&W .357 and went to the range. I came home, cleaned the revolver...

    Smith 442 or 642......

    I carry the 442 everyday in a Don Hume, no problems with wearing on the finish. I like the darker color for CCW.

    The preferred finish

    I good parkerized finish is my favorite for durability - every time it gets oil it holds it well, and it lasts.

    Anybody else cheap (broke)? Share your tips

    DITTO Redneck 2... the politcal signs are perfect for target shooting. They can last a weekend if you dont let your 'marksmanship challenged' friends shoot at them (the wire frames are NO match for .223 and .308). If you see a sign that annoys you for a month, then after the election is over...

    How would you handle this?

    Ruger has been good to me. I shot the piss out of a .44 mag revolver that I purchased used at a gun show. The front screw holding the ejector housing worked its way loose and jumped ship. I called Ruger and told them the story and they said to send it in. I did, and received the revolver...

    Wisconsin getting concealed carry, now we are alone

    HARDKNOX has it right - many of us quibble about the right to carry concealed or even where/when we can carry. PLEASE remember that there still exists parts of our country where it is difficult to OWN. Illinois is backwards in thier gun laws in many respects, but the REAL nut to be cracked is...

    CCW/Carry: Best example to tell an Anti-Gunner - Road Rage

    You are correct. If someone is threatening you with a weapon such as a tire iron then your local/state laws will apply. Most local/state laws will allow you to use deadly force to protect your life. But, the courts will ask the question as to why you felt so threatened that you pulled your...

    The Future of "www.hipowersandhandguns.com"

    Mr. Camp's website is a treausure, as he was/is. I found his website while searching for pre-buy info on my Hi-Power. Loads of valuable, CORRECT information written by a Hi-Power fan. It would be a shame to let Mr. Camp's legacy wither away. I never met the man, but he informed and educated...

    CCW/Carry: Best example to tell an Anti-Gunner - Road Rage

    Dont even think of pulling your firearm in a 'road rage' situation unless you are going to fire your weapon at the assailant. Don't pull it to 'defuse the situation'. Don't pull it to warn the assailant off. Don't show your firearm to 'be prepared for what might come next'. Don't have...

    New Ruger Mark III Target!!!!

    For medium-priced accuracy I like the CCI 'Standard Velocity' round. For REAL accuracy I like the CCI 'Pistol Match'. Both of these rounds stay subsonic so they are not upset by transonic speed buffet problems at longer ranges. Supersonic .22 rounds are great, but they do crazy things when...

    Yeah, I'd say a great deal of the powder was wasted outside the barell, but it makes for a very nice picture. -D

    S & W Model 617 10 shot Revolver jamming

    I like the Singers and CCI in general, and the Aguila rounds are good as well, but just a little dirtier in my experience. Let us know haow the 617 works! -D

    S & W Model 617 10 shot Revolver jamming

    Good luck - the 617 is an AMAZING firearm, but .22 ammunition can be very filthy. I prefer CCI, and Stingers are a great round. I like to clear spent shells from my revolvers with the barrel always pointed UP so that any grime falls to the ground, not back into the cylinder. A good sharp...

    S & W Model 617 10 shot Revolver jamming

    Something is amiss... I have put alot of every type of crap, and quality, ammo through my 617, no problems. You have said that it is new, so try this next time it fouls up: -open the cylinder... does it bind at all when opening? -eject spent catridges, press the ejector rod ALL the way...

    Which ammo is of better quality?

    I find that the CCI is cleaner. Aguila makes very good rimfire ammo, but I prefer CCI. I particularly like the CCI 'standard' sub-sonic .22 for handgun target shooting and the Stinger for hunting. -D
