Greetings, My Father-in-law gave me an old black powder pistol, and I am trying to determine what I have. Along the top of the barrel are the words "CONNECTICUT VALLEY ARMS INC.", but a search of their site is not giving me any information about pistols....hopefully someone here can provide...

I have used the search function and acquired some great information/opinions......the same way I researched my last pistol.:D Final query............if you were to recommend a good 20 gage for skeet, what would it be? I will not be re-loading, and am leaning towards an auto............no...

During a conversation this morning, one of our customers mentioned that he will be taking some of HIS customers out for "Something different" when they come over from Europe. My contact is a hunter that doesn't have much experience with handguns, so I was going to recommend a 38 revolver and...

I posted this at the Firing Line, and wanted to get some input here also. I've got the 617 and cleaned her up....can't wait until the range opens up (have to wait for the hunters to return, firing is suspended until 1000 :( ) I am ordering the speed loader from DS-10 (once HE gets back...

Bluesbear (among others) has convinced me that it shouldn't be too difficult to tweak the trigger on a 617 I will be getting. Suggestions included replacing the trigger return spring and getting a wider trigger......I was told the main spring doesn't need to be changed. Trouble is, Midway...

I posted on an earlier thread, looking for a .22 revolver for the winter pin league. I received many good suggestions and went off with more knowledge than I started with. This is what I found. A K22 (22K?).......S&W revolver with a red-dot sight for $499. The back sight is missing. A 6"...

MODS; I was going to post this in the Revolver section, but after my search I noticed that sometimes it was considered to be General. I thought I would get more responses here, so this is where I started. Winter Pin Shoot is coming up and I want to compete in the wheel-gun class also...

I was polishing the rims on my car and noticed that my left leg was dead under the front wheel. What if…………THE CAR RAN ME OVER!!!!:what: Here we have an animate object that kills a large number of humans on a daily basis…….. and I am not only in close proximity to it, I am in a defenseless...

When you find (after 15 years of marriage) that your significant other views you as an extremist because; • You state that having a weeks worth of food and water (for all in the household) is a minimum requirement. (I’d rather have 3 months worth) • That you should have a plan to deal with...

Barry is a former SEAL and one of the people I strive to surpass. There are also others on Saturday, who I shoot with, who are better than I am, and they motivate me to do better, but Barry and I like the Marine/Navy competition, and jab each other at every given opportunity. I use a Glock .40...

I've done the search and didn't really get the information I was looking for. I am picking up my new bike this morning and was wondering what to carry. This will be the first time that I have been able to ride armed and was trying to figure out the logistics. IWB with the Glock is fine as...

I hope to go to the range tomorrow, if this monsoon ever ends, and was planning on trying the new loads I made……….. in anticipation of the medium bore pin shoot season that starts next Monday. I plan on shooting the Glock 34 for auto and the S&W 686 for revolver. Usually I will put the...

Mods I posted this in Stragies also, let me know which would be more appropriate. I am getting ready to go to the range for a day of shooting.....temps should be in the upper 40's and the sun will be shining. Will start with the ConTact match and then some rifle and pin-shooting......Let the...

I am getting ready to go to the range for a day of shooting.....temps should be in the upper 40's and the sun will be shining. Will start with the ConTact match and then some rifle and pin-shooting......Let the fun begin!!! :D What is the reasoning behind holstering your gun one-handed?. I...

Locals can read it in the paper, others can look it up. A week ago (the 12th) an acquaintance (my wife’s co-workers fiancé) had an altercation in the Salem/Colchester area of Connecticut. Condensed version is this; • There was a case of road rage and instead of going to a neutral area...

Didn't know where else to post this Mods. Is anyone else getting this when they try to get to Armed Polite Society? Sunday morning and wanted to look around while waiting for the house to come to life.....any info would be appreciated.

This is not a “If you only had one gun†question, more along the line of Christmas in February….did I mention that I am not a fan of winter? My wife does the taxes. When I asked her how we were doing this year she said “Not bad…….. didn’t you say you wanted another gun?†:what...

About Wally World's questions when buying ammo that is. Today was the first time it happened to me. I purchased 5 white boxes of 9 and one of the Remington .22 bonus packs. When the girl goes to ring it up she says "I've never seen this before." (Refering to the prompt on the cash register)...

A friend down south has the opportunity to buy a 10mm GLock and asked my opinion. I did some research at Glocktalk and sent him the observations and opinions I found there. Any of y'all have experience with this gun/caliber? How's it shoot? Good for carry/home ptotection? Is the ammo difficult...

There have been posts about placing signs......Beware of Dog, Beware of Owner and such. How do y'all feel about those small, round NRA stickers?
