Congratulations, railroader! Always a cool thing to win something, even cooler something you appreciate so much. Enjoy! -james

Wow. There is a lot I had not conceived of. Thank you. I had naively been focused more on the firearm choice and less on the items for carrying it. It's a moving target of needs You've also opened my eyes to see that my choices in firearm + belt + holster, however well investigated, are...

My initial impression is that I should "start lighter/smaller and see how it goes." The firearms toward the heavier/larger end of my list would still be fun to own and shoot, but if I end up not carrying them due to size and heft then the purpose has been lost. I appreciate your assessments...

Hi everyone, I would like to pick up a 9mm concealed carry firearm. Online research gave me a starting list which I shortened after handling the contenders in-store. But I have never carried before and, lacking that experience, I am wondering about "what I can't know" that could affect my...

FYI, BrainOnSigs' image of the water jug bullets came from this page: http://frag.110mb.com/ Lots more info about the rounds used there, plus closeups of each.

And another one from November 2011 http://www.nevadashooters.com/showthread.php?t=22446 And other reported posts across the interwebs... a scope for one guy, trijicon sight for another, a blackhawk serpa platform, and an ankle holster, all triggering the "Your order is on Hold" message. Seems...

Wow, those JPoints are slick. I really like those, and though I've seen that style of sight before I'd never seen nor heard of them. Thank you. Given that my wife and I had to make some big decisions regarding her parents yesterday, my budget has become suddenly slimmer. Probably going to have...

I have a S&W 627 Pro Series 8-shot 357 that I love. I'm picking up a Ruger Mk II in stainless to go with it. I think they'll make a wonderful couple, and I have two questions. (1) Is it possible to find a red dot (or scope) that could work on either gun? I realize I'd need the proper...

+1 there! And no offense taken, I was genuinely wondering if i had given any indication that I was pretty green and wanted to say "not totally" without causing any return-volley offense. I think I may have been a bit thin-skinned there, so please don't feel you should pull any punches in...

P.S. And if I'm just not thinking straight, feel free to tell me "get this bullet, get that powder, use this much, and get on with it!" if that's simpler. I can over think this stuff.

Okay! Thank you both, noylj and rfwobbly. That does help. I'm confident in my understanding of the difference between 38 special brass and 357 brass and the appropriate load for each, so no confusion there. ;-) Where I tend to get stuck is, if I can only find a lighter or heavier bullet than...

Hello! I'm a relatively new handgun owner (S&W 627 Pro revolver) and soon to be new reloader. I have a questions about purchasing the components of a cartridge, and how to go about starting with the powder I have in mind. I'd like to reload practice rounds with .38 Special-ish reloads...

A new-to-me S&W Model 627 Pro Series The first owner shot less than a box of 38 sp through this. I'd love to know more about it, especially as it's my first firearm. Caliber .357 Barrel 4" Grip/Butt Rounded butt (Hogue monogrip) Round/Loads 8 shot Sights Adjustable Serial CNW2335 Model...
