a snubbie revolver is equipped with grips and ammo particularly suited to me, invariably & easily have it with me, point it, pull the trigger and it works. this s&w 642 is set up for some outdoorsing.

i wonder about the economic and physical feasibility of a less-pricey ruger super wrangler chambered in 32mag.

with a six-shot steel revolver at hand i bet that your father and his colleagues darn well knew how to put accurately rounds on the correct target when it was necessary. it was a better time.

i live an innocent life in an out of the way, quiet, neighborhood. no wildlings, gangs, druggies, home invaders around. my at-home, 20ga, 20”, under the bed, h&r single shotgun is loaded with #5 gameshot (thanks to paul harrell). https://youtu.be/zaR1EVybUgc?si=HQMBzV5WyGWXbupH fwiw, i can...

800 rounds of 22lr cci minimag and standard ammo over two afternoons this week out of a ruger sr22, which puts me somewhere north of 20,000 rounds over a dozen years out of my two sr22 pistols.

indeed! april 19, 1775 was not about a politician, pastor or publisher.

i am a revolver guy who can’t reload and wanted to shoot cheaper 9mm ammo in something other than a ruger blackhawk convertible single-action revolver. i got a charter arms pitbull 9mm revolver. total waste of time and p.o.c. that i happily got rid of. i now have a nice springfield xd...

i use the nssf’s “where to shoot” app when i travel. it points to: http://www.eaglepeakshootingrange.com/welcome.htm, which is nw of austin in leander tx. $25 forever range card, $25 all day pass, cash or check only, open daily 10am-6pm. i have never been.

thank you! i have two, with 20,000+ rounds through them over the past 10+ years without trouble. just checked and no problem here too.

my one and only 357mag revolver is a ruger blackhawk convertible, which i almost exclusively shoot with its 9mm cylinder because this ammo is far cheaper.

i am pretty much a revolver guy but i need a small and unobtrusive ccw for social reasons. my keltec p32 with a spare mag completely edged out a naa guardian 32acp as my primary, daily ccw, being far easier to shoot and more reliable than the guardian. the p32 carries smaller than a s&w 642 or...

i have two s&w m10-5 revolvers, one pencil, one heavy barrel. the p.b. was a gentleman’s bedside piece, an elegant looker, not shot much. the h.b. is an ex-police gun, a better shooter, being perfectly weighted for smoother recoil control.

i am thinking that a short, mare’s-leg, pump- or lever-action shotgun chambered in 410 could be a useful niche piece for r.v. or camping, like the other, more famous niche handgun, bond arms derringers, but on growth hormones. while i would choose a 410 mare’s leg, i generally prefer handgun...

a s&w m37 and a ruger lcr-x. both are 3”, lightweight, 5-shot, 38sp snubbies. i’m unsure yet which one i prefer, both are equally accurate for me. the deeply blued m37 is a piece of mechanical art that i naturally baby. the lcr-x’s longer grip, polymer frame, better sights & lighter weight...

i own taurus 85 and 856 snubbies, both new and gently used, excellent pieces. i have seen some indonesian national police still carrying taurus 85 snubbies. the carriers typically appear to be higher ranking officers or traffic police. their sidearms are more a badge of power in a highly...
