We did end up keeping it, the dealer didn't want to give us anything for it. Ended up buying an FN 5.7, don't know if it is something I want to carry due to the size. .38's in this little ruger are doable :). I'm just going to have to take all the hand guns to the firing line, fire them all...

I was reading, and you are not supposed to use reloads in the 5.7. He should check for himself before using them again.

It's a Ruger LCR 357. oops

The plan was to trade in the Ruger for a Kimber Crimson Ultra Carry II, that didn't happen. We still have the Ruger, the shop only wanted to give us $200 for it and we were not ready to lose $280. So while I was standing there talking to the clerk, Hubby hands me a pistol. I was amazed at how...

Hubby has a an Springfield XD .45 and I have XD 9mm. Mine was $420ish, and I really do love it :) We've never had a problem.

I have one, and it's about to read I had one :( I am fine with the .38 specials, but I can't stand the 357's in it :( I really really tried!! I've only had this little Ruger for 2 weeks, but I'm about to take it and trade it in. It physically hurt when using the 357's, so with it being...

Not to long ago I addressed a man at the firing line about his lack of safety, all the while he had this "duh" expression while his friends stood there open mouthed. I left. I simply wasn't going to be hurt by someone who thought the rules didn't apply to him. Be honest with your friend...

A shop can have a great relationship with their regular customers, educate the new ones and enjoy the fruits of their labors :) Or, use pushy sales tactics have a loss all the way around. Swiftak, I don't want to say where this happened, one poor salesman shouldn't cause bad publicity for a...

Every response hit it right on the head. I understand that it isn't the job of a salesman to educate, simply to sell a gun, however the key word here is "gun". It was just hard to see one of the staff show little regard for the safety of a customer, and others, since he was too busy trying to...

The other day we were at the gun shop waiting our turn for assistance. As I was perusing the hand guns, I over heard a conversation between a customer (young woman) and the sales clerk. It boiled down to the young woman being undecided in what handgun to purchase. She was asking some very...

Mine was a Ruger LCR 357 magnum, that was purchased 2 weeks ago. We are not keeping this, but this past weekend we bought a M1 Garand :) Hubby is now having to fight the urge to keep it!!

Thanks for the welcome mcdonl :) I'm looking forward to the responses! I'm experienced with both pistols and revolvers (I don't really like revolvers but I can and will shoot them) along with rifles and shot guns. We own an AR, but I have yet to try it. I have talked with our local shooting...

Intro Hi Everyone! I followed another new member here, and have been reading post after post. First let me say, this is a well rounded forum with polite members :) I might just have to settle in. My name is Heather, and I grew up hunting and shooting. My Grandfather was Mounted...

Thanks for the compliment Alex! I'm the "young" woman he is referring too, and yep I followed him here :) He has so much information and knowledge and it's right at my fingertips. You have to love modern technology. Alex, I can see your point about the shoulder holster, however I'm not sure...
