I have shot my dad’s with my 158 grain reloads. Never anything bigger. It is a decent gun but the front sight fiber optic fell out. It does handle recoil well compared to a j frame. Like all Taurus stuff, if something breaks, you have to send it in for repair. They do not send parts. I would...

Ive shot squirrels with a 38 Special. They do a lot more damage than a .22 pistol. I think rimfire is all you want or need. The .38 made a mess but still edible. I loaded up some wadcutters in .357 cases today. I’ll try them on rabbits next fall. Rabbits head is a bigger target and they sit...

Does anybody know the origin story of the European starling in the americas? Supposedly they were introduced by a director of a Shakespeare play. He felt they added to a scene and night after night he released them over a summer. Now, they are one of the most numerous birds in North America.

So does the 5” 629 Classic N frame have the same grip as a round butt L frame?

ill check them out. Agreed on the factory

I few years back I purchased a 5” 629 Classic. I shoot it fairly well single action but the stock grips are too large for me to shoot double action well. It has the stock rubber grips that cover the backstrap. I can’t get my trigger finger in the proper location for DA. Anybody have...

You might try using a red light for a while given you have to use a shotgun.

I have one like yours. It is hard to shoot well, but when I am in practice with it, it shoots as well as any .22 pistol excepting a long bull barrel Browning or Ruger. The short sight radius and poor sights handicap it quite a bit. Have yet to get a miss fire after 500 rounds and shoots to...

The thing hunters need to really ponder is if CWD jumps to livestock. Deer will get culled by the millions if it can be proven to infect cattle. I hunted in CWD containment zones and never killed an infected deer. I have also eaten plenty I haven’t got tested. I still think Lyme is the scariest...

Sometimes I think a clean gun has a higher chance of malfunction than a dirty one. Meaning: I could take a gun to the range and put 50 rounds through it, load a mag of carry ammo and holster it. Its proven reliable. I could take the same gun home and clean it. Load it and holster it. There’s...

It’s always interesting to me that people consider land somebody else owns as “uninhabited”.

This is my plan and recommend it to others. There are guys that rarely shoot that keep 50,000 .223 on hand. I don’t understand that mentality and think its like the toilet paper mentality of 2020… except I assume they use TP. If you shoot 1000 rounds of 9mm a year (about 2 boxes a month), then...

This is awesome. I recently purchased 5000 rnds at Sportsmans Warehouse for $275.49. This is the best deal I found in a while. Adjusted for inflation, I can’t remember any deals like that in the last few years.

I write the date and price of ammo when I buy it on the box. Seems like 2017 was the time to stock. I am still shooting Remington UMC 9mm that I paid $10/box at Walmart and got a $5 rebate on each.

It was substantially lighter and handier than the Yugo I had. Even with Tech Sights it was basically a 4” rifle off the bench. The Yugo was much more accurate but I had little use for a 9# 7.62x39. I sold the Yugo this year with a couple hundred rounds of ammo for $700. They are certainly an...

I sold the 16” one that takes AK mags for $850 during the covid panic. It was handy but my AR pistol outshot it handily. Interesting guns and very ‘50s.

Is it true that there are 32-20 rifle loads and 32-20 pistol loads? I have heard it is tough to reload for but I am guessing its no worse than others.

It is easy enough that if I am checking a bag, I bring a pistol. I use one of those cheap car safes and use the cable to lock the safe to the bag.
