Swampman, thanks for the tip on the VZ2008. The only issue is I'm not sure I can find 5 round magazines. In Maine, you cannot hunt with a semi-auto that holds more than 6 rounds. I suppose I could "permanently alter" a 30 round magazine to only hold 5 rounds, but that seems like a waste and I...

I suppose I could look for a 45 ACP Carbine since I already have a hand gun in 45 but I don't know how effective they'd be for deer.

Thanks for your responses. I've read that older mini's have issues with the barrel getting hot and throwing shots. Newer barrels do not have this issue, especially the "tactical" model with the 16.25" barrel. I've had an SKS in the past but did not like the integral magazine. Basically I'm...

Merry Christmas! Does any own a Ruger Mini 30, especially a newer model? I'd really like to have one gun for white tail deer hunting in Maine and any SHTF situation that may arise. It seems like the 7.62x39 is the best round to accommodate this goal. AKs and their variants seem a little on...

Hello all. Finally fired my Rossi M92 today that I bought back in January or so. I got a 16" Carbine in .38/.357. It's a handy little gun and shot quite well. The rifle was a good "pointer." I bought this gun in the hopes that it would be "ban proof," and not a target of any misguided...

She shoots my 4.25" LWT Commander very well. I'm thinking I'll probably go with a full-size RIA or something. Pride of ownership takes a back seat to practicality in this case.

Hi everyone, I guess the title kinda sums it up. I am looking for a gun for my wife. I like to leave the gun unchambered. I'm looking for a full size-ish 45 where she can easily rack the slide. Light on the wallet is good too. It's probably all in the recoil spring, isn't it?

Tommy, starting with the safety off, are you able to apply the safety while the hammer is quarter-cocked?

Hmm... I am able to apply the safety with the hammer at the intercept. Also able to quartercock the gun with the safety engaged. Any ideas?

Hello, I've fully disassembled and reassembled my Sig P238, and I just want to make sure I've done it correct. I don't remember how this worked before. The quarter-cock is UNAFFECTED by the SAFETY, correct? Even with the safety engaged, the gun can be quarter-cocked and subsequently "fired"...

Alright, so I got sand in our P238 so I wanted to completely take it down. Got down to the trigger. Wanted to remove the trigger. Was messing around and pulled back on the trigger until it clicked. Trigger is now stuck in backwards position, trigger bar is "loose" but trigger pin is not budging...

Hey man. You're probably not going to need a gun. You have a wife, I don't know if you have kids. But you have a family, and getting kicked out of school with nothing to show for it but debt (I'm assuming), is not a great outcome for the two of you. Like the others implied, your brain is your...

What do you recommend for an affordable pistol safe?

I'm not looking for anything fancy, mainly enough to keep the toddler out and have quick access JIC. Anyone own this stack-on safe? Stack-On Mini-Storage Vault

Hello, I just purchased a Colt Govt .380. I performed the safety check of bringing the slide back, holding down the trigger, and letting the slide go. I did this about 20 times. Twice, the trigger followed the slide to the quarter-cock notch. I may be asking an obvious question, but is this...

For those who pocket carry, do you feel a little weird if you're sitting in church, or a restaurant, etc., knowing that your pocket gun is pointing at the person sitting across from you?

Inserting a new mag and pulling back on the slide will not release the stop. The only way to release it is pull the mag out and push down hard on the stop.

Hi everyone, we're in the process of wringing out my wife's new p238. We have about 80 rounds through it so far. Twice what has happened is after the last round in the magazine, the slide lock will engage, but doesn't appear to be fully engaged (the lock does not move up into the niche), and...

Sorry but removing ANY safety device on a gun is liability nightmare.

NG, I agree with you, but my wife gets frustrated pretty easily if she feels she sucks at something, loses focus, and just does not enjoy her time shooting. She shoots the SA well, and shoots it confidently. To me that's the most you can ask for in a carry gun.
