    Truck lock box

    I have been using the cabled-in lock box from Secure-it for my carry handguns, and they work fine. I am planning a trip into bear country and will be taking a 6" bbl revolver. I need a similar set up that will fit this size revolver, for when I don't need to have it with me. Any ideas...

    .22 LR for small hands

    My daughter would like to buy a .22 for target shooting and general plinking. The problem is she has very small hands. My Ruger Single-six is even a little too long of a reach for her. She would like at least a 4 inch barrel. It can be either a revolver or an automatic. Any suggestions...

    Sig P238

    I've been looking at the Sig P238 as a carry pistol. The website calls it a 1911 and states that it is single action only. Admittedly, I have not handled one, yet but I've not been able to see a grip safety in any photo. My question is can this pistol be safely carried condition 1? Thanks...

    .38 spl short

    I have never seen this caliber before. What is it designed for? Is it safe to shoot in a .38 spl revolver? Thanks s.

    Cowboy action ammunition

    How does the compression in these loads compare to other ammunition? In other words, are they more powerful, less powerful, or about the same? Just wondering because I bought some .38 spl cowboy loads by mistake and want to make sure they are okay to shoot in my Detective Special. I tend to...

    Midway USA notification

    Let me say first that I am a customer and a fan of Midway USA. I shop there a lot. For those who may be unfamiliar with it, Midway USA has a "notify me" where they will send you an email when an out-of-stock item is received. Has anyone used this system for ammunition? And if so...

    Gun Prices

    Anyone would have to be living under a rock not to have noticed the increase in gun prices lately. My question is have the gun manufacturers raised their prices to the dealers, or are the dealers in the gun shops and shows raising the prices on their own, sort of "Whatever the traffic will...

    Form 4473 questions

    I'm sure this has been covered someplace, but I can't find a thread and I've had conflicting answers when I ask other people. I would like a complete rundown on what happens with the form 4473 and the record of a handgun transaction. What exactly happens with the form 4473 during and...

    Aluminum case ammunition

    I just saw in Cabela's latest flyer Herters nylon jacketed ammunition in aluminum case. I have never heard of this before. Has anyone shot this and what was your impression? The aluminum case scares me. In the ad they say the nylon jacket leaves your gun cleaner. But wouldn't that nylon...

    Bauer .25 auto

    Been watching this on GB. I don't own a mouse gun and thought it might be fun to have and shoot. I've been reading that Bauer is a quality gun. What do you think? Is this a fair price for this gun in this condition? Thanks for your help...

    What to carry, new or old?

    I recently read a thread where a gentleman just received his gun back from a shooting he was involved in three years before. It's understandable the police would confiscate a gun that was involved in a shooting, and it's not unreasonable to expect it could take a while to be cleared. I carry...

    Gun Names

    This may have been done before, but how many names have been used to refer to a handgun? Most are probably courtesy of Hollywood. This is what comes to mind right off the bat: Hogleg Gat Rod Roscoe Heater Anyone have more?

    Has anyone purchased a gun from this online store and what was your experience? Their prices look good. Just wondering what they are like to deal with. Thanks, spm

    Ammo for a snubby

    This has probably been covered and recovered someplace in this forum. I don't pretend to believe I am the only person to ever think about this. I carry a Colt Detective Special loaded with Hornaday Critical Defense. I have read a lot about lack of expansion in Jacketed hollow points with the...

    Chamber expansion in a Smith & Wesson

    I have a Smith and Wesson model 19-5, 2.5" bbl. chambered in .357 Mag. When I shoot magnums, +P .38s, or even semi-hot standard .38 loads, the empty shells won't extract. I was told I had "Chamber expansion" and the cylinder needed to be replaced. Since we don't have a gunsmith in my town, I...

    Kahr CW9

    I have been looking for a CCW gun for several months. I just returned from a gun show and was looking at the Kahr CW9. I liked the way the gun felt with one exception; when gripping the gun, my thumb made contact with the mag release. I'm thinking it would be possible to inadvertently release...
