I've been a little out of the loop for a while and just discovered that there is such an animal as the .327 Federal Magnum! This cartridge sounds like a great idea to me and I absolutely love the idea of the Ruger Single Seven. I'm pretty sure that will be my next handgun purchase. I also really...

Does anyone know what the differences are between the Colt 1849 Pocket vs 1862 Pocket Navy? Looking at pictures, the only difference I an see is that the 1862 has a rebated cylinder and the 1849 does not. Thanks, ~D

Hi! I remember hearing about a few stories in the past involving a homeowner using an AR or AK to defend himself from multiple armed home invaders. I'm working on an article for my blog and could use one of those stories. Could anybody give me some links to sources for stories like this...

Finally got myself a nice, accurate .22! This thing handles like a dream! Shoots well too, with the right ammo (side note: ammo!!! :banghead:) I haven't been able to find out much about this gun. Does anyone know what the distinctives of the NRA model would be? More pictures and...

At least, that is what some folks would have you believe. I just received one of those chain emails that said the following: Sigh. Where do people come up with this stuff? Do we really have hard evidence that Soros "controls" Cerberus? Even if that is so, is he really hard line enough to...

Hi! I'd like to start loading BP cartridges, but I have a few questions. 1. The drop tube. How long does it need to be? Does it need to drop straight into the cartridge, or could I mount it just above the Lee Powder Through Expander Die on my press and have it drop the powder into that little...

The title says it all! Luck, you say? Well.... there had to be SOME skill involved to get the bullet close enough to be lucky! :neener:

Hi everyone! I just purchased a Ruger LCP. I love the way it shoots, it fits my hand well, and the overall quality, including fit and finish, seems to be great... which is exactly what I would expect... but apparently some people don't, and I curious why that is. First off, I will admit...

Hello! I purchased this .22 a few years ago, and curiosity suddenly struck me. It has no model name, just "Lever Action," and the serial number is very low - in the 0007** range. BTW, the peep sight is my addition - a Skinner. Does anyone know the history of or any trivia tidbits about...

Hi! I got into a discussion with the local gun shop owner today about carrying handguns. He said that 1)If you are under 21, you can't transport a handgun in a vehicle without a hunting license (when it is unloaded) and that 2)If you have a LTCF, you HAVE to carry it concealed. I know...

Hi! I realized something the other day - I am more careful and safety conscious due to my involvement with firearms. And I can say that because I haven't really been a gun person all that long, 2 years at the most, and I can remember my attitude towards possible dangerous situations and how it...

Hello folks! I need some helps. The cylinder on my 36 is not turning as freely as it should it still turns, but with a bit of effort. I think it is also causing the trigger to be heavier. The first thing I was going to try was taking the cylinder off the crane, cleaning out the center hole...

...and come home with a Smith & Wesson? Well, I went gun shopping on Saturday - I was lookin' for a carry piece. I was interested in an sp101, but I thought I'd take a look at the used guns first. Well, one gun jumped out at me from among all the brand new Tauruses and Smiths - a used 36-1...

Ok, I'm going shopping for my carry piece in a week or so. I really like the sp101, have handled it so I know it fits my hand, but they are a little on the expensive side for me. If I can't find anything else, that's what I'll go with, but I'll also be at least taking a look at whatever else...

Hi! I'm thinking about getting a bolt action rifle to be used almost exclusively for competition target shooting (not official matches, my friends and I do a lot of competition with each other). I'd like something about $500 or less, if possible. First of all, what caliber? Will .22lr be...

Hi! I've got a question for you all. I go to a pretty small church (8 families) and no-one carries. We meet on the pastor's property. I'm 19 (20 in a week or so) and I've been thinking about carrying while at church. Here's my question: if I only carry while on the church property and have...
