    Home defense ammo in an apartment

    We are going from living in the woods, where I could use any ammo for my home defense guns to an apt with close neighbors and thin walls. What ammo should I choose? I need .38,.45,.44 spl and possibly .357....or should I just buy a Judge and use 410 00 buck? and please don't suggest I buy a shot...

    Not Happy...S&W 642

    I was shopping at a gun shop years ago. Apparently I was in stealth mode, the guy behind the counter thought he was alone. He proceded to take out various revolvers and play with them, flicking the cylinder closed and doing the cowboy twirl, dropping a few in the process. I never bought a gun...

    Breakfast at Perkins: Revolver Down!

    That sucks.The closest I came was just recently actually...I pocket carry a 642 w/ holster. In our church parking lot a few weeks ago, while getting out of the car, it "popped" out and hit the ground. Luckily I was early and no one was around to see it. I've rediscovered the old habit of getting...

    Ruger Sp101 and LCR?

    I carried an SP for years. Great gun, but a bit heavy. I switched to an airweight and went to pocket carry and never looked back. Do I take it to the range for a 3 hours session..no, but it is real easy to carry all the time when it's so light and fits in a pocket. What I did like about the sp...

    Taurus PT99 or Browning Hi-Power?

    ok, I'm only going on MY experience: had a pt 99..100% reliable, you could shoot rocks in the thing. Had an actual Browning Hi-power..it was a DOG...only fed FMJ and bit my hand every shot. Plus the pt was lefty friendly. I have had tons of Tauruses all great guns. Currently have a pt945 that I...

    speedloader for s+w 642

    Just a shot in the dark...are you using wad cutters? I have had few speedlaoders for different revolvers that you couldn't fit all the way "down",you would have to kind of just put the actual bullet part in the cylinder, not the case....

    Who's got one, do you like it, is it pocket carry-able?

    Post some of the funny stuff you've heard on the range.

    "I shoot a .45 because if you even hit a guy in the pinky he'll spin around in circles and fall down." "I shoot a .380....it's the BEST defensive round out there, if you have a cracked-up junkie coming at you, you want a .380."-said by a guy working at a gun shop..must have had a lot of .380's...

    Arthritic wheel gun guy.....please help

    I also have arthritis.I find grips make all the difference....when I carry my bulldog .44 spl. I have little combat grips, but if I am going to the range for an extended sesion, I switch to big hand filling grips.Always practice w/ your carry grips too, but don't over do it.
