    What autoloader for carry around the house?

    home carry If you have a gun small enough to fit in your pocket, than that is what I would use. Otherwise, you could stash one in the sofa cushions.

    Re-Thinking My Stance on .380 JHPs

    .380 not for me... I used to carry a .380 Sig P230, but not any more. Before I left Houston, there was an officer involved shooting. A man was shot point-blank in the face with a .380. While it took the fight out of him temporarily, it was not a definite stopper. In surgery, one slug was...

    I notice now most of us older guys (50+)

    Like'em both I am old enough to remember when Hi Powers were retailed at $125, and my first Model 10 was under $90. I once bought a Model 60 in a department store for full retail, $148. It seems technology gives the nod to autos, but the older revolvers cannot be improved upon. Even the new...

    Ever get your guns out and just hold em

    Oh yeah, whenever I can...as often as I can. I like to stroke the gun, put some oil on it, and shine it up real good. It gives me peace of mind, especially when there so many A-holes trying to make me a criminal for just owning and enjoying them. I sometimes switch the grips around, and...

    Llama Pocket .45s - What are these? Good?

    I would be hesitant to buy ANY short barrel 1911. Unless it comes with stellar factory support, pass on it. Also, remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for".

    S&W Model 1955 25-2

    750 is a little bit high. I bought mine NIB w/tools, papers, cardboard and wood box for $320 in 1991. I bought the first one in 1979 for $350! Now THAT was too much! Considering today's prices on pinned Smiths, without the wood box, 650 would be a acceptable price. At least that would be worth...

    So, there's this freaky "Line" on the cylinder of my new S&W 638....Help!

    Call S&W, but it looks like a tool mark to me.

    Beretta Model 70S

    I had one new in 1979, and paid under $90 for it. It worked with any ammo. I sold it like a dummy ten years later for $225. I am sorry I got rid of it, I even had spare grip plates that did not have the thumb rest. Kick me.

    help. s&w 640 or 642

    I have used both, and prefer the 640. With mild .357 loads it is not bad at all. I use Winchester 110g .357's. If an inexpierenced shooter uses it, I load 158g +P lead SWHP. Remingtons are what I like best, but I have some WW and Federal. The 640 is a little heavier carried in the pocket. My...

    Star PD

    the Star PD I used to have fed anything. It would feed rounds that a Colt Officer would not feed. I carried mine with fed hydroshocks and the speer 200g flying ashtray. i was sorry i traded it away untill I got hold of a Sig 245. As good as the PD was, I like the Sig better. If I ran across...

    Beretta M-950B .25 auto pics, please?

    I wanted a Seecamp back in the 1990's, could not find one, so i bought a 950 from Doc's Country Sports at a Houston show, and paid $110 out the door. It is one of the best of the tiny guns. Never had a mis-feed or failure...one niggling little problem, though. Being so small, my thumb...

    Coach gun for protection - recommendations please

    I am in my 60's, and have plenty of "experience" with shotguns. I have a wingmaster 18" extended mag and an 870 Marine magnum. I prefer the H&R single 12g, because everyone in the house can pick it up and use it with profiency...and I like it.

    I turned my Vaquero into a practical carry piece!

    I never used a single action for carry, but did have a Ruger .45 Colt for a truck gun a while back. Fast follow-up shots are possible. I use the thumb of the support hand to cock the gun immediatly after each shot. When the gun recoils, I use the off hand thumb on the hammer as the gun is...

    is it true that a s&w 642-1 had a cracked frame?

    I would say dont worry about it. My 642 no dash from 1995 or 96 cracked, and I dont know how long it was cracked before I discovered it, since it always shot just fine. I saw a post on a forum about N frames in alloy having problems, I checked the 642, and low and behold, there it was...
