    Best .22 Plinking Gun?

    Don't get me wrong, I love Rugers, have 6 of their single actions. I've had a MkI and MkII and they were OK but not great. I just bought a new Buckmark Camper with the HiViz front sight. I love it, it fits great and shoots very well. It feeds most any ammo except the Remington value packs and...

    Iffy BC Gap: Should it stay or should it go?

    Terminology? When you use the term "mil feeler guage" it's not accurate. B/C gaps are measured in thousandths of an inch, not mils. One thing to check, are you getting any flame cutting on the top strap?

    one-handed shooting: why tilt?

    It seems to me we are talking several different issues here. First, the media driven, gangsta, bullsh*t, 90 degree tilt, gun over the head, style of "busting a cap". Second, tilting the sights say, 5 degrees or so. Last, straight up vertical sight alignment. The first is a...

    Model 63, from Father to son

    My Father passed away last December and I sure miss him. One of the treasures I have from him is his Model 63, I got it from him during a visit last summer. It's a sweet little revolver that is amazingly accurate for a 4 inch gun. The action on it is crisp and clean which adds to it's accuracy...

    What options for .45acp in a SAA style gun?

    like water on a hot skillet... Bill, you've bounced around a bit here, let me suggest something. Unless you already have handguns in other calibers that you would like to reload, don't get all wound up about reloading just yet. If the Vaquero seems to suit you the best, pick one up in 45...

    Ruger blackhawk .45 colt opinions?

    wankerjake, Gosh what a handle... Back to the issue at hand, 45 Colt Blackhawks can fit a lot of situations. They can punch paper with light loads, shoot cowboy action, hunt just about anything on 4 legs, and work as a personal protection piece. What you have to figure out is the barrel...

    Girlfriend suddenly wants CWP....for coyotes?

    IMHO, it's not the caliber so much it's what fits her hands and what she can shoot well. I don't know what you have for gun ranges around you, but if you can, find one that let's you "rent" handguns and see what she's good at shooting. Two good rounds in any 'yote will do the job...

    Does anyone carry the FNH FNP-9 concealed?

    Brandon, I have a FNP-9 and it is a great pistol. It is very accurate at the distances it's designed for and beyond. The 3 dot sight provides quick sight aquisition. The double action first round has a long, but smooth pull to it. The single action follow ups are crisp and deliberate. Recoil...

    Ruger Customer service

    When you send a handgun to the New Hampshire facility, you get a note from them saying they have received it with a Repair order number. It will be your only point of contact with them. Without it they won't give you any information. I doubt very much they used the Post Office....

    Snub-nosed Revolvers and Aging Eyes

    I'm going to approach this a bit differently than the other replies. First, I understand what it is like to have your eyesight change, mine has also. But let's look at your application. A Model 12 and a Dick's Special are not target guns. They are confrontation guns, at least that's what they...

    148 DEWC in .357mag

    Please be aware that a DEW will use up case volume quickly. Unique is very sensitive to compression. Before you load up the first round, measure your Unique, pour it in the case, measure and mark the level on the outside of the case, then place the DEW next to the case lining up the crimp...

    Best Gun for Black Bear Defense

    I had an unexpected meeting with a large black bear while grouse hunting the the Okanogan Highlands. It didn't go bad, but it convinced me to switch to a larger caliber just seeing how big he was. I now carry a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt, 300 grain T/C bullet, 8.5 grains of Unique. I leave my...

    New S&W 632: Smith gets back into .32 kit-guns

    I'm lucky enough to own a Ruger Buckeye Blackhawk in 32 H&R and 32-20. The gun has a 6 1/2 inch barrel and a steel grip frame. Recoil? What recoil? If I really had to, I'd see who's making 327 mag cylinders, but I don't think I'll have to. The 32-20 is just fine...

    Leaving a Gun in the Glovebox Overnight

    I'll be blunt, you're nuts to leave a gun in a car. Besides possible legal ramifications, how would you feel when your window is busted, your gun goes missing and is used in a felony?

    HR 45, please read this, then act.

    Realities of the “Blair Holt” gun law HR45 In May of 2007, Michael “Mario” Pace age 16 got a gun from 15 year old Kevin Jones and boarded a Chicago bus and started shooting. Blair Holt, age 16, wasn’t the target, but he died while shielding 16-year-old Tiara Reed and pushing her down into...
