    My first Negligent Discharge -hopefully my last

    I don't agree with some people saying that it will happen to most gun owners. I do think that everybody can tend to get complacent with clearing a weapon. A prime example was a story from a retired police officer that was shooting a grendel p30 with friends. He racked the slide 3 times to...

    Early well worn Python.

    I think the last year for generation 1 stocks was 1961. I could be wrong on that though. Do you notice the difference in balance with it having the hollow underlug?

    Why is demand so strong for excellent revolvers?

    OLD FLUFF hit the nail on the head here. "Part of the attraction is that the firearms that were featured offered mechanical excellence and/or a piece of history. The arms that went on the block were made at a time when cost-cutting and manufacturing savings were not the driving force that it is...

    Grant Cunningham

    The longest waiting period of heard of for him was a little over 3 years for 2 colt revolvers. I think it is just him and his wife so it sounds like he mis-placed your reservation. To answer your question 451 Detonics; he can precisely tune a revolver like a Colt Python that has a no room for...

    Feedback on GunBroker Purchase

    Yea I don't think it will let you post feedback again. Just tell him you would gladly remove it once the money was in your hands.

    Effective distance of .357 mag on deer?

    Check these statistics out ArchAngelCD. 500 ft/lbs is generally considered the lowest you should have as far as energy for whitetails. A 4"-6" barrel at 1300-1400 ft per second for this buffalo bore ammo has 524.8 ft/lbs at 75 yards...

    .357 Magnum vs. .44 Magnum, pros and cons!

    A 4" 357 magnum is what you need. I personally like full underlugs to decrease muzzle flip and they will keep you on target in rapid fire. It sounds like you want to be in the $400 price range. You should look into used S&W 586's and 686's. Also look into Ruger gp100's. Don't waste your...

    Feedback on GunBroker Purchase

    I just got burned from a gunbroker auction in the same manner. The guy took pictures with bad lighting and his description was "Factory Barrel". He didn't answer my email before the end of the auction. After I won the auction he returned all emails within 30 minutes. He didn't specify an...

    Effective distance of .357 mag on deer?

    50-75 yards max. Do not use hollow points. They might be ok for archery distance but for 40+ yards they won't have enough penetration. If you don't reload try buffalo bore or double tap 180 grain hardcast ammo.

    SHOT day 4: Hornady

    I love Hornady ammunition and always had my truck gun loaded with critical defense. Just in my own water testing with a bunch of defense rounds the Hornady was the only round that opened and looked like a mushroom every time. I think it's a great round (from all the various testing I've seen...

    SHOT Day 3 - Colt

    They're a little late in finding their way back to the 380 party. I think the trend is moving towards small 9mm. Especially with the new LC9.

    SHOT Day 3 - Bushmaster

    I'm pretty sure they are keeping the bushmaster name and just moving all production to Remington's facilities. They may be shutting that facility down but they definitely aren't going out of business.

    SHOT Day 2 - Kel Tec Shotgun

    It seems like this shotgun could be great for law enforcement. Non-lethal bean bags in one tube and slugs or 00 buck in the other. Anybody else think this is a possibility? Where is the switch to change the tubes at?

    How many of you were converted to revolvers?

    I was kind of born into them also. When I was in high school I was over at a friends house talking about deer rifles. His dad heard us talking and said this is what I use for deer...He goes upstairs and comes back down with a 6" nickel colt python. It was love at first sight and felt like...
