    Need Some Encouragement

    Has anyone ever had a major stroke and been able hunt again? I'm improving after mine, but it seems like such a tough, long road to recovery.

    Watch the Deer... and Blackbuck?

    One of my favorite websites is watchthedeer.com. Due to an injury, my wildlife experiences are vicarious for a while, and I get my fix from this site. Also, lots of hogs, turkeys, and other stuff drop by the feeders. Recently, though, I saw a nice blackbuck. Not the sort of thing you see...

    Anybody ever heard of "ABC Rifle Company"?

    I just got an email from something called ABC Rifle Company. They seem like a home-grown AR-15 builder. Out of Las Vegas. Anyone ever heard of them? Any insight into their product quality? Thanks...

    Multi-choke barrels on older shotguns

    I've seen a lot of those older shotguns with the weird-looking poly-choke or multi-choke gizmos. I guess they must not have worked too well, since they haven't been made in a long time, but were they really so bad? Looks like there are some bargains on those old guns, and I admit to being a...

    Slugs through a semi-auto?

    I hope this isn't a silly question, but are there any special considerations to using slugs in a semi-auto? I've been invited to do some slug-only deer hunting this fall, and my brain just jumped to a pump gun, but I got to thinking and I wonder whether a semi-auto might not be a viable...

    How About Some Charter Arms Love?

    A recent new-to-me acquisition. Haven't even had time to clean it and get it to the range. I have a kind of soft spot for Charter 5-shot revolvers. Am I alone in this strange obsession?

    Steel-cased ammunition in a revolver?

    I just did a gunbot search on .38 special ammunition (http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/pistol/38special/) and it returned a couple of hits with steel-cased ammunition. Maybe I've been in my cave a little too long, but I've never heard of steel-cased .38 special ammunition. Personally, I'd be a...

    Pocket-carry 9mm?

    Any suggestions for a 9mm that can be carried in a front pocket of a pair of jeans? I'm thinking maybe a Taurus 709 or a Beretta Nano. Thoughts? Thanks!

    Fair value for a 50-round box of 9mm Silvertips?

    Any ideas what a box of 9mm Winchester Silvertips would be worth these days? I know it used to be pretty expensive stuff, but I can't imagine it's worth anywhere close to a dollar a round (which I've seen it priced at). Thoughts? Thanks!

    What's a good price for a stainless Charter Arms Undercover? (Stratford-era)

    I saw a Stratford-made stainless Charter Arms Undercover recently. The shop was asking $300. The revolver appears to be in excellent condition; nice lockup, clean metal wood grips are great, etc. I doubt it's been shot much. Is $300 a fair price? Thanks, o wise HighRoaders!

    Cheap AR -- Buy a new low-end, or wait for someone to panic-sell?

    I've been thinking about joining the legions of AR owners. I don't need anything fancy, so I was thinking about buying an entry-level rifle. But I've also noticed a few better models being put on the market at good prices here and there. What's your opinion? Should I just buy...

    Feeding my revolvers...~cheap reloads for .38 special

    Anyone know of a good source for fairly cheap .38 reloads in the DFW area? I'd like to get my hands on a few hundred 148-grain wadcutters. I've thought about trying a gun show, but it's like thirteen bucks just to get in, and I'd hate to waste a trip. Suggestions? Thanks!

    Snubby love: New-to-me Charter Arms Off-Duty

    Out surfing a pawnshop yesterday, and came across this little gem: a Stratford-era Charter Arms Off Duty. She needed a good cleaning, and you can see there's some dings in the wood, but mechanically she checked out, she's rust-free, and looks like she'll be a good companion. I don't really...

    Used revolvers becoming more available?

    I keep hearing that people are trading in revolvers to buy newer, semi-auto pistols and rifles. Is anyone seeing that happen? Are the used gun cases filling up with stuff that us revolver-lovers will drool over?

    Day hog hunts within 2 hours of Fort Worth?

    It's been a while since I went hog hunting, and a friend has asked me whether I know of any good day-hunting sites within about 2 hours of Fort Worth. I couldnt think of anywhere. Can anyone recommend a place?

    Rossi 357 w/3" barrel?

    Saw something kinda interesting today; a Rossi .357 with a 3" barrel. I've seen 2" and I've seen 4" and I've seen 6" Rossis, but not a 3-incher. Anyone got one of these? What's been your experience with it?

    SCCY CPX-2 or Taurus 709?

    If you had to pick between these two, which would you select? Anything better for concealed (pocket) carry in the ~$300 price point? (And $600 is not the same price point.) Thanks.

    Going price for a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag?

    What's a good price on a used Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum? Let's say overall pretty good condition, no rust, wood looks good, bore in excellent shape. I haven't seen one around here in the DFW area in a while, but I haven't been looking, either.

    Look who I saw this morning...

    It's Mr. Double-Drop Tine! Nice way to start my day. Nice of him to pose for a photo, too.

    Are these alligator tracks?

    I need some expert advice. Alligators aren't rare in Texas, but up around Dallas/Fort Worth they're pretty unusual. I saw these tracks yesterday...are these alligator tracks? Thanks, O wise High Road Hunters and Trackers!
