reloading 12Bravo20, thanks for that info. Sounds interesting. I'll probably try to check out the equipment and supply costs before long. A lot depends on how long I'm in shape to get out and do some shooting. I think I mentioned that I have some medical conditions that kinda keep me for a...

reply Thanks, Sappyg. I'm going to try any and all forms of the .410 loads. I've never tried reloading, but with the price of .410 shells, it might be tempting! I've known some friends back in Texas that reloaded almost everything they shot. One of them had a garage. Anytime he wasn't...

report Just got back and cleaned the little Cruiser. It's a great little gun. I shot about 20 times with #6 shot. At about 35 feet, I could, from the hip, hit within about 12 inches of where I am trying place the shot during the first few shots. After that, I started shooting at a closer...

Mossberg Cruiser in .410 Just bought a Cruiser! I'll try to post some of my thoughts about it after I get a chance to go out and shoot it. I only have some regular #6 shells at the time. I'm going out for a while tomorrow (hopefully). I carry some paper plates in the Jeep GC and use them...

Small .22s I have a little Walther PPK/S .22. I have 2 extra magazines. Each hold 10 shots. I have, more than once, fired the first mag, popped in the 2nd mag, fired it, then popped in the 3rd and fired it. All 30 shots without a FTF or a FTE. Just before I began the 30 shot trials, the...

Ok, I'm talking just .410, not 12 or 20 gauge. I may not can hit the broad side of a barn at 20 paces with it, but an intruder's not going to be more 20 feet from me. If I can't hit an intruder that is 20 feet from me with a load of 000 or even #4, I can't hit him with a double barrel, firing...

Has anyone seen or better still, shot the Mossberg Cruiser .410 shotgun? I'm thinking about buying one for home defense. I'm not fond of the recoil of anything larger. I have a double 20, and even it has more recoil than I like. I'm 73 and just don't need the recoil of anything! I just got...

small .380s I was in the LGS about a couple of weeks ago. They had a S & W, and a Remington (?); both small .380 pistols. I asked the owner if he had any feedback from anyone who owned one. He said he had just received them and had not sold one yet. They were a bit smaller than my Walther...

Back in the mid 1970s I was working in a job that required me to carry several hundred to several thousand dollars from different stores to the bank and dropped into the night deposit box. I bought a little RG .25 to carry in my hip pocket. No, I didn't carry a round in the chamber because I...

Since no one's mentioned one, how about the little Bersa Thunder .389 concealed carry? I have one and really like it. It's been extremely dependable, small, no tall sights to hang on everything, and the safety is easy (for me, anyway) to switch to fire with one hand. To me, it's the most...

I stopped when asked for my email address.

I also use the Hornady Critical Defense rounds. I have 3 mags loaded with them. That gives me 24 hard hitting rounds, just in case I run into a bunch of bad guys! lol

I have a Bersa Thunder .380. It's the concealed carry model. Really love it. I've owned it since 2010. I've only had one problem: The Russian (?) ammo, Tul doesn't work well in the little Bersa. It will not fire more than 3 shots without jamming. No problems with all the other ammo I've...

Tallball, don't know what you had, but my Heritage has great sights and doesn't feel 'cheap' to me. Just my opinion, but after lots of rounds through it, I really love it. The only .22 revolver I've seen that I like as much is the Ruger Bear Cat. It's not such a heavy, hand-full type of gun...

I paid $159.95 for a Heritage Rough Rider .22lr/.22mag with a 6.5 inch barrel, back in 2010. I'm not sure how many shots have been down the tube, but a bunch. I've shot the mags quite a lot, but since it's a lot more expensive, I now just shoot the lr. When I first bought the gun, my...

Can't believe the story as told. I shot several 'dillos when I was a kid. I was using .22 shorts because they were cheaper than longs. I killed rabbits, squirrels, skunks, 'dillos, 'possums, and most other Texas wildlife that was legal to shoot (and maybe a few that weren't). I've shot bb...

Wow! What a nice collection of pictures! I hope I haven't ruined my keyboard with all the drool I've been dripping on it!

I started carrying when I started picking up several hundred dollars in cash twice to three times a week about 15 miles from where I worked. On the trip back, it was on an older highway without much traffic, but drunks, weirdoes, and robbers like that kind of road. I had a couple of times when...

I'm in a small town just east of Boise, Idaho. I've only be able to buy three 50 count and three 100 count .22lr here in the last 3 or 4 years! In Boise I bought four 100 count boxes last year over a three month period. Don't say there's no shortage. Also don't pee on my back and tell me...

The town I live in is fairly small. I'm in an open carry state; but have a CCW license also. I haven't open carried, yet. There are two men I know here in town that will have a gun in a holster, on their belt every time I see them. If anyone pays attention to them, I haven't noticed. I...
