    Shoulder Holsters for Non Guns -- What on Earth!?

    I think I've seen it all now. Made the mistake of going out to a larger town/city and seing an evening movie show. Huge crowds of college and teen-aged kids walking around with these obvious bulges under their armpits and straps across their backs. They're even taking off their jackets and...

    Which .45 to Buy?

    The hankering to get a .45 has bit. I acquired (at a steep and very deep discount) some 5,000 rounds of assorted ammo (Winchester, S & B, Wolf, Cor-Bon, Federal, and Remington, even a box of Super-Vel and some Norma) plus the makings for another 4,000 - 4,500 rounds of .45 reloads in the form...

    New York (Syracuse) Firearms Laws

    Need some help here, guys and gals. It seems that NYS will make me wait six months for a permit to have my revolver from MD. I can find no citations on laws governing restrictions or permits for either shotguns or rifles. Are there any NY THR'ers who can give me the skinny on how long I'd...

    A Breakthrough Moment

    WHOO-HOO!!! I think I have finally achieved a breakthrough moment in conveying the importance of having more than one sidearm and more than one holster to the wife. She is pro-RKBA and would not dream of not having a gun in the house. But she did find my extensive collection a bit hard to...

    Gunsmithing Services

    I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a good smith that can shorten a Taurus Tracker tube from 6" to 3" and do a trigger job and cylinder fit for moonclips. I'm not really looking for the "Get a S&W" replies either, so stow 'em. I already have the gun and it is broken in pretty good. I have...

    Taurus Tracker Question

    Does anybody know if they make wood finger-groove grips for the Taurus 617 and 627 series of 7-shot 357s? Those rubber grips are good for soaking up recoil, but they tend to bind and "grab" sweaters and shirts used as covering material. I'm thinking wood grips would be a better choice for less...
