Of the Ruger single actions, which is your favorite grip / style?

I originally subscribed from around 1997 - 2006. I thought their level of coverage of all the types of firearms was fairly balanced in this period. They mostly kept me happy, and gave all types of firearms a fair representation of reviews. I subscribed again sometime in 2009, and while I...

As a pure defensive load, what do you think of this: http://www.dakotaammo.net/Self-Defense-JHP/44-Rem-Mag-165gr-CORBON-Self-Defense-JHP/SD44M165-20/100/Product 619 ft-lbs is a very mild .44 magnum load, almost like a very heavy .44 special load instead (many .44 magnum loads can exceed...

Overall, all aspects of shooting, what is your favorite of the "magnums" For me it would be the .357 magnum. IMO, its the most versatile and has the best combo of power and shootability (yes, others have a lot more power, but you pay for that in considerable more recoil).

I purchased a .44 magnum Ruger Alaskan -- after not being able to find one for a LONG time in stores. I really liked the feel and balance. Now on to the waiting period before I can pick it up. Once I get it, I plan to load it with heavy 44 spls to lighter .44 magnums -- using it as a big...

What do you prefer? 1. The classic grips (rubber w/wood inserts and NO finger grooves) 2. Modern grips (hogue w/finger grooves) 3. No preference For me, the classic grips fit me perfectly. I love the shape of the classics, and like that I don't have finger grooves on them -- finger...

Which revolver caliber do you prefer as a home defense revolver?

Do you all think this cartridge will catch on and become popular enough to be considered a major player? Or, is it destined to become obsolete and/or extinct. I like the concept, a round small enough to pack 6 shots into an SP 101, or 7 into a GP 100 and yet with some teeth to it (400 ft...

I tried out some reduced recoil buckshot at the outdoor range, and I have to say it works well. It is still powerful enough to bruise and isn't exactly comfortable, but in terms of control I found that it is easier to get back on target quickly with the reduced recoil loads vs full power...

I noticed on my Federal Premium "Personal Defense" hydra-shok box, the ft-lbs is listed as 350 at the muzzle. Isn't this really weak for a .40? Cor Bor makes 9mm that have over 400 ft - lbs. I'm newish to the .40 -- the last own I owned was a CZ 75 and that was a few years ago. I mostly...

I'm looking for a shotgun with the following features: Stock + Pistol grip (must have both, to me pistol grip only is hard to control) Ghost ring back site, and preferably fiber optic front site I've looked at the Rem 870 Rem Tac 2 and Tac 3, and I like them... but not crazy about the...

You know what may be neat, take the best of the DA/SA and DAK system and merge them. In other words, a 6.5 lb LONG first shot trigger and then single action the rest of the magazine. With a trigger pull this long, you don't need a super heavy pull weight to achieve safety. I've never...

The .40 is the only ammo I can find in brick and mortar stores these days, so I'm considering it. I've had a .40 before (CZ 75), and I was okay with the caliber. Got rid of the CZ because it was unreliable. What I'm looking for < $1,000 California legal (10 rounds or less, and on the...

CNN reported that one of the judges asked that the 2A decision (I believe Heller) to be reviewed in the future. I'm not sure if the new apointee tips the balance or not, but what can we as citizens do to communicate the importance of the right of 2A to the Surpreme Court judges? There is...

http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=188120 CA moves closer to fingerprinting ammo buyers, limiting transfer of ammo between family members to 50 rounds or less, and banning internet ammo sales. I urge everyone in CA to fax and write in to your reps why this bill is a bad...

I thought they were NOT legal. Is this still the case? What about the new wireless taser technology I've read about. Has a company made a wireless taser that is actually used by a police force yet?

Just got this in the email from the NRA "Senate Bill 776, sponsored by State Senator Loni Hancock (D-9), has been introduced in Sacramento. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Public Safety Committee and could be heard on Tuesday, April 21 or Tuesday, April 28. Simply put, SB776...

http://www.ruger-firearms.com/LCR/index.html This is a pretty interesting concept. Anyone know if Ruger plans to submit it to CA for "safe list" testing?

When the economy recovers, does anyone think firearm stocks (SWHC, RGR) will ever perform? Even when the market was doing pretty well, it seemed that firearms stocks did not do well relative to other industries. Is it the regulations, hurdles, and other nonsense that is hurting these...

The editor is making claims that guns used in self defense are much lower than the reported stats. Wonder if anyone wants to help educate the editor: http://insider.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=2232267
