    Hit this gun poll...

    The Marin Independant Journal has a poll on their front page, online. "Does the U.S. need stronger gun control?" with a Yes/No option. The No's are behind. Let's change that. The poll is about half way down the main page on the left side. http://www.marinij.com/

    Help, broken shotgun - story and pics inside

    I've had this Mossberg 930 semi-auto 12g for a few months now. I've had it out shooting clays once and it performed flawlessly. I then bought a rifled barrel directly from Mossberg so I could use the gun for deer hunting. This weekend I went to the range to sight in the gun with the rifled...

    Crossbreed QwikClip...?

    I've been a Crossbreed fanboy for some time now. I carry my gun in a SuperTuck and am nothing but extremely pleased with it. I'm thinking about getting a 2nd carry gun and it would be pretty small (EMP). Crossbreed offers a smaller IWB called the QwikClip and it's available for the EMP...

    IWB for Model 19?

    Can anyone recommend an IWB holster for S&W Model 19 with 2.5" barrel? I use a Crossbreed for my regular carry gun but they don't make holsters for the 19 so I need to look elsewhere.

    .357 Performance out of a 2" barrel

    Would you lose enough velocity shooting a .357 with 2" barrel that it would make more sense to just use .38 +P's? I mean if the short barrlelputs the ballistics of the .357 down far enough that a .38 +P is right there with it then I'd think the .38 would be more appropriate as it has less recoil.

    41 Magnum & 44 Special

    I am curious as to how these two cartridges compare for self defense purposes. The 44 Special standard SD load appears to be 180 or 200 grains and the same type load for 41 Magnum looks to be 210 grain. Both the velocity and energy seem to be greater with the 41 Magnum in comparable 44...

    Pistol to go with my rifle

    This was the very first gun I ever owned. It was given to me by my Dad on my 12th birthday. It's a Thompson Center .32 Caliber. I've shot it a grand total of once but have always held on to it and it's always meant something special to me. I'd like to get a percussion cap pistol in the...

    Goin to look at a musket, need advice - pics inside

    So I'm going to get to take a look, in person, at this gun in the next couple days. The guy selling it tells me he thinks it's a Charleville. That's about all he can say about the gun. Can you guys tell me anything based on these photos? Is it an 18th century Charley? Does it look like it...

    18th Century firearms

    Was there any common musket in the Colonies prior to and during the revolution? If you were your every day militia man back then what would be leaning against your door? Musket or rifle....did they even have rifles then? Does anyone make reproductions of these guns now a days?

    Range Finding Binoculars

    Last time I was hunting I was sitting out in the middle of no where with my monocular range finder and a set of binoculars. I thought it was lame I had to bring both so after day 1 I left the binoculars at camp. I used the range finding monocular (x4 magnification) to glass the surrounding...

    Which one to use?

    Would you guys be more apt to use a .30-06 bolt with 220 grain bullet or a .45-70 lever with 325 grain bullet while black bear hunting? Assume the shot would be under 200 yards max.
