    Off-Hand - what does it mean?

    I have seen this term used MANY times online. I originally thought as the words would imply that it would mean shooting with your left hand if you were right handed or right handed if you were a lefty. But I'm seeing it so often, and wondered are there that many shooter really shooting or...

    Great range day

    Thats good, it just appeared you were swapping ear muff protection... I never use just reading glasses, even wearing shooting safety glasses I caught a .22LR over the top of the lens, that just happened to stop at the bottom of the lens of my right eye, against my face. It left a nice burn...

    Great range day

    You should make sure you tell them to ALWAYS wear eye/ear protection, even if you are not shooting. (check photo) That should be the first purchase, even before a firearm.

    What's the BIG difference .38 / .357 ?

    I'm new to firearms. I have a SW686 which will fire both .38special & .357 if you look at the cartridges they are almost the same! the .357 has a longer shell/cartridge but beyond that it's hard to tell them apart. Except of course if you fire them. WOW, what a difference. So if I mic...

    How often to clean guns?

    I was always taught to clean after every use. I do the whole sha-bang... brass brush and bore wipes. Wipe it down with a lint free towel, and lightly oil. Then wipe it down again, until all finger prints are gone and I place it in it's box for storage in the safe. My HD piece then gets...

    Anybody Not Like Shooting .357?

    Both me & my 4" 686 like it alot. I shoot both .38 and .357 outta my 4" 686. If I'm trying to focus on sight picture and grouping, and steady hold.. I load up the .38's. But I always bring a box of 50, .357 to feel the kick. A natural smile just starts to appear on my face, as soon as...

    Girlfriend is hesitant about going to the shooting range...

    I have found with my wife, that all the parts and action of a semi-auto is abit intimidating at first. If at all possible start off with a revolver and a .22 would be PERFECT. It's possible the range may have one to rent, if you can find a gun store that also has a range. There are at least 2...
