    small frame 22 LR/WMR rimfire DA revolver poll

    No shortage of rimfire fans on this board As noted, 22 caliber rimfire only, small frame only, revolver specific only, DA/SA or DAO, but not SA only Comments always welcome for any SA only examples (Ruger Bearcat comes to mind), but kindly restrict the poll "OTHER" count to DA capable actions...

    OT - shameless book plug

    FINALLY downloaded my 1st MHI e-book today kudos to Larry C and Baen (too few out there like that, but there are some) fun stuff PS 'tis off topic, it is... but we have no shortage of 442/642, AR, 336, etc. "clubs" would a MHI fan "club" be completely out-of-order ?

    100% MIM free

    just curious, asked this in another thread (not really expecting an answer there, but it is a simple, honest, legit question) Which revolver makers manufacturing new revolvers today are 100% MIM free ? (or autoloaders, for that matter, but mostly focused on revolvers here) No woobie...

    DA triggers, why not more innovation ?

    I find myself just a little frustrated by the lack of innovation in DA revolver triggers amongst "all" DA revolver manufacturers, especially notable in small frame revolvers. Many folks will acknowledge that the S&W DAO Js leave something to be desired. The best conventional small frame...

    is there ONE autoloader for you ?

    I am a mostly revolver guy, always have been. Own my fair share of rimfires in both wheelies and pistolas, but slim on centerfire autos, even though an autoloader (one of only three I own) is what I usually wear. Just never was willing to pony up the cash for any one of a bunch of...

    7.62x39 vs 223 vs 357

    somewhat similar to the current "bolt action carbines" thread here Application - Bolt action carbine, mid-size non-dangerous North American game, say 30# to 270#, but mostly in the middle. Brush country hunting at short to modest ranges, expectations being 100 yards or less. Whitetail being...

    Taurus vs. Taurus

    no brand X vs brand Y vs brand Z, please just Taurus vs. Taurus.. revolver specific, but any all models and calibers kindly do describe vintage as well, if you will (me, I think vintage matters a lot, any/all brands, bar none.. except maybe Korth, not that I would know Korth anyway) also a real...

    opinions on S&W model 10-12 ??

    I do not need yet another S&W, but there 'tis LGS has a batch of used model 10s some 10-11s that look hard used for $275, used rental range guns would be my guess, no thanks some 10-12s that look under glass like new 10-12, 4" heavy barrel, fixed sights, real nice deep blue, real decent...

    410 slug - ever do that ?

    oddball question here vs shotgun sub-forum, since 410/45s seem to be a currently popular theme anybody ever actually ever shoot 410 slugs ?? I just happen to have a fondness for 410s, own several, couple of singles, an O/U and a pump - wabbit guns, not Grizz guns but I am just not into 45/410...

    a different drummer

    just musing not meaning to inspire another 380 bashing thread here, or woobie caliber war some few of us march to a different drummer, re: what we choose for casual wear, meaning 380s but ever since the kel-tec, then LCP, the gun makers have been falling all over themselves offering yet another...

    silencer, would you ?

    if NOT for the legal silliness and special fees for silencers on rifles, would you put any on some of yours ? if NOT, why not ? I would bet they would be fairly inexpensive and readily available, if it wasn't for the legal mumbo jumbo, and I would be real inclined to use them on such as range...

    BLR vs AR

    me, being the only kid on my block without a 223, just wondering how minor my minority is (one nice thing about enthusiasm for rifles, but no dinero to do anything about it, is that you can always dream for free) have oft though I ought to do something about that no 223 in the gun safe...

    just bragging

    Thanksgiving whitetail 30 year old grandson took his boy (age 9) and VSL (Very Significant Lady, and "mebbe someday soon") on their 1st bambi hunt a couple of days before the holiday, (the boy for "being with Dad", adults only with firearms, permanent "comfort" stand), and she got her 1st ever...

    what "media" article re: guns can you most not forget ?

    probably a poor choice of topic, too easily derailed re: politics and such but will throw it out there and rely on the mods to shut it down as needed I think it probably does qualify as "gun related" no political rant or other such implied... not for me.. just "frustration factor" of the worst...

    IPSC rule questions, "categories"

    just curious, the rulebook does not seem explicitly clear other than equipment type - (open division handgun as an arbitrary example) to shoot IPSC, competitors must apparently declare a category - ladies, juniors, seniors, super seniors... (although there appears to be no "men's" category...

    cylinder residue, 38 vs 357 ??

    not meant to be a "contentious' topic, just curiosity this being so very frequently stated, i.e, 38sp leaving ring buildup in your 357 cylinders... it seems to be universally accepted verbatim, but I have never experienced it myself, wondering why not I have owned and shot some (same) 357s for...

    sig lines and such

    forum sig lines, interesting, often add something of value sometimes specifically "gun related", sometimes not Whether this is gun-related or not gun-related , interpretive, moderator's call on that, of course, respected (does seem to me "gun-forum-related", things we say here, for better or...

    sight picture - scopes and dots

    Just curious, how do you do your thing (with scope cross-hairs and red dots) ? I tend to presume most do like I do, though I don't know why I should think that. This really not about the difference in slow fire SA target shooting vs. rapid fire DA/auto point shooting, though somewhat related I...

    BHP single stack

    lest I further distract a different (good) thread here just a question from an old wheelgunner "sufferin' from sometimers" did Browning ever actually do a single stack version of the BHP ? dunno why I thunk so, but apparently they did not, even if JMB's original notion may have been...
