My favorite firearm that I own is my Marlin336 in .35 Rem. My son has taken it over but I still used it to take a nice 10 pointer this year. I have only shot the LeverEvolution rounds out of mine and they perform very well on deer. I typically get exit holes from 2-3 inches wide depending on the...

I work in LE and carry everday on duty. Off duty I carry concealed everywhere and I have a drawer full of discarded holsters and some CC handguns that I don't carry anymore in the safe. Started off thinking like you and got a small .380 Keltec and while I love that little gun and it shoots...

I like Burris. I have several of their scopes. I may try that one. Do you like 2x magnification for handgun better than 4x?

Wonder how a scout scope would perform on a handgun like this that you hold with two hands and aren't fully extended. Less eye relief than a pistol scope. Might work. Leupold makes a Long eye relief scope that isn't a pistol scope.

I put my Glock 19 in the safe and switched to a Smith and Wesson Shield. Love that little gun. Coupled with a N82 Tactical holster I don't think it can be beat for daily carry. I now only carry the Glock 19 in movie theatre's, shopping malls, schools(LEO so I can carry anywhere), crowded places...

Ok, I can't decide between a red dot or a low powered pistol scope. I am 38 and my eyesight is just starting to change a little for the worse so the magnification of a scope may help me be able to see in the woods a little better. I am sure I will try and shoot a deer with one of the .357...

Do you like the ultradot red dot scope? I was considering one of those.

I work in law enforcement and just dealt with this recently. The above posts are correct. All muzzleloaders are considered antique firearms. We recently had a felon shoot another felon with a muzzleloader and kill him and he was not charged with having the muzzleloader. I also recently spoke...

Spend $39 on a N82 original holster and you can do everything comfortably. I wear all the time, every day, and forget I have my pistol on most of the time. It is that comfortable. I have a drawer full of unused holsters that all sucked some way or another. The Nate Squared holster cannot be...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with these hunting pistols. I have always wanted a long barrel .357 as it really changes the energy of the .357 and I can plink with .38 special loads. I have looked into leverguns and pistols and this is the one that has caught my attention especially...

I found myself in the same position and never carried the glock 26 I owned so I ended up selling it for a glock 19(for home defense). I carried the Glock 19 awhile and hated carrying it as I am 5'6 and 150 lbs. I bought a S and W Shield and I love that little gun. It carries sooooooo much better...

I would love to hear opinions on everyone's preferred night sights for a carry pistol. I need some on my S&W Shield and can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks in advance.

I agree with ATLDave. I think you were most likely putting too much pressure with your support hand. I see this a lot during LE pistol qualifications. I would bet you were subconsciously putting extra pressure due to the size and kick of the 460 round. You obviously wouldn't be doing that one...

I have hunted with a .357 mag with 158 grain loads and killed a doe at 70 yards with a shot to the vitals. I was using a Marlin lever action and the doe only ran about 30 yards before piling up. This year I bought the Buffalo Bore bullets and plan on using it this season. Since the standard 158...

I agree with Llama Bob. .223 would be a great beginner round out to 500 yards. No kick, cheap ammo and when you upgrade later on you would have a great coyote hunting setup or something to get a child started in shooting with. I have a dedicated target rifle, a Savage Model 10 FCP-K in .308 that...
