Cartridge vs Capacity- I'm shopping for a new carry gun: with the flood of smaller, easily concealable pistols of all types and calibers on the market, deciding on a suitable compromize has been a daunting task. Currently, I pocket a S&W Model 37 with the addition of a bianchi speed-strip...

SKS good for hunting? As a survival gun... I was wondering the same thing in the early 90's and was lucky enough to find one prior its liberal classification as an "assault weapon" and subsequent ban in 1994. At the time, I just wanted to Pimp-out a real military rifle by dropping on a bunch...

Thanks for asking the question. There was a recent home invasion in a County just South of mine that enlightened me on this subject... About 6-8 months ago, I was watching a morning news station running a sory on a vicious Home Invasion involving two armed thugs and an elderly...

I probably sound close-minded, but I wouldn't ever trust my life with any auto, period... "David E" does make a good claim regarding the Kahr P-9: "You get more shots with more power". The Kahr P-9 does provide a couple more rounds in a small/light package, but for daily CC, there's...

"S&W Fan" I wish that I could achieve those awsome 10yrd goups. I shoot the sameway, standing-up, and using one hand only to fire. Your inspiring me to get down to the range allot more often. Thanks for the pics. -St.Pete7

Mod. 37 replacement grips & 148gr WCs for practice Thanks for the follow-up "S&W Fan", I was wonder what kind of wadcutter to practice with that isn't (+P) that I can use for routine practice... Since you brought-up grips for the J-Framed Mod. 36 & Mod. 37, I was wondering if that...

S&W Mod.37 defensive round-(158gr. LSWHP +P) I appreciate all of your replies: it's great to be able to have my questions answered by informed people and not just some kid at the Gun Store trying to up-sell me on something else... Can't beat how comfortable the 37 is to carry. "S&W Fan"...

Nightstand Kit... I admit that I've had multiple set-ups for different dangerous scenarios in the past just like "bradfromearth". Putting all of the hardware options aside; my dog is the best (and cheapest) home defense investment that I've ever made... Now my Nightstand Kit consists...

I'll admit, I've been thinking alot about "CSA 357"'s advice.

Vehicle Penetration Good question. The "drug-related" activity and crimes are typically committed by folks who don't live in my neighborhood; thus riding up here in a car (or bicycle). On numerous occasions, while out walking my dog, I have been approached by black men that drive right...

I recently moved from my waterfront home on Tampa Bay into a smaller house in a lower-middle income neighborhood. Before the moved my family, I checked the crime statistics and ran a search on registered sex offenders with my wife so I wouldn't put them at unnecessary risk. People in the...

intersting afternoon... Man! That could have gone real bad, real quick. The Lord was watching over you and I'm thankful nothing happened. FYI, Down here in Florida, road-raging, gun-toting scumbags are all over the roads. If your going to retire and are thinking about getting a place...

No doubt in my mind, S&W revolvers allow me to sleep easy at night. A Smith and Wesson Model 10 is my bedside gun while my S&W Model 37 is my daily CC pistol. -St.Pete7

Glock 19 vs SIG 229 vs HK USPc No doubt in my mind either, SIG... I don't have the trigger time behind on a HK so I'm looking at the Glock 19 vs the SIG 229. The Glock 19 is no doubt a well-made pistol from a well-run company. However, in my opinion, the 229's combination of size...

Central Florida has a bunch of hot-spots for Hogs where the brush, trees, and muck are so thick that most, if not all of the shots are taken at relatively close range. I've used a Mossy and its 7.62X54 in FMJ works fine in these conditions. I would take exception to "rcmodel"s remark...

Man, I can't tell you how many years I worried about my S&W Mod 37 not having the length to generate the velocity or expansion that I thought I would need. To top it off, I never load +p rounds due to pressure overload due to the lower tensile strength of the aluminum frame. I was at the...

The Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight This is my first day as a member of THR, but I have viewed a number of posts is the past and I'm very impressed with the knowledge that various memebers possess. Now, getting back to the Model 37, I carry it in my vest pocket every day and have been...
