I'm looking for the smallest possible grips available for a .38 Colt Diamondback. Right now, it sports some Pachmayr Compacs (the kind with the pinkie cutout). But my wife, who's using it as her HD gun, would like something even smaller (she has "dainty" little hands). I suggested to her...

Anyone know what the going price is on doing these conversions? I'm only interested in the conversion itself, and not the refinish.

As the title indicates, I'm looking for a good self defense round for the .32 S&W Long. While I wouldn't necessarily call the caliber a "powerhouse" round, I also don't believe it falls into the category of a "mousegun" caliber. With my mouseguns in .32 ACP and .25, I use strictly FMJ...

I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on this, as my neighbor and I have been debating this for some time. A job transfer is forcing his eldest daughter to pack up and leave for another state. This is the first time she'll be out on her own. He's decided that he wants to send her off with some...

The front door to our house is one of those double entry doors. As with most double entry doors, one door is considered the 'active" door, or one that is regularly used to enter and exit. The other door is considered "inactive", and usually remains closed (unless the need to move large items in...

Is there any truth to the rumor that Ruger will be adding locks to their SP and GP series revolvers?

I just outfitted my S&W 642 with a Barami Hip Grip. I love everything about them, with the exception of one thing...the slick feel of the plastic. Any Hip Grip users here that have come up with unique ways to remedy this? :confused:

Anyone use an extra length firing pin on their wheelguns? Cylinder & Slide is offering one for S&Ws with frame-mounted firing pins, claiming that it improves firing pin strike to ensure a consistent and reliable ignition. I guess my question really is...are light strikes on wheelguns a...

2.5" 66 or 3" 65LS Which one? Why? I ask because I'm thinking about moving away from a pistol (currently a USPc) to a wheelgun, and am deciding between the two for my "primary" carry piece. I know many will say...."alternate between the two", which I very well may do. But I'd like to...

(Never mind...I found my answers)

Does anyone make a synthetic stock for the Marlin 1894??? I'm having a heck of a time finding one. I know Ramline makes one, but only for the 336. They even make one for the Winny 94...:confused:

All of the houses in my development have those sectional, roll-up garage doors. You know, the ones made out of thin sheet metal. Well, a house around the corner had a break-in, and though I wasn't able to get the complete story from the neighbors, I heard that the burglars gained access to the...

I'm shopping for a new safe, and can't decide if I should go with another combination lock, or try an electronic lock? Can anyone provide some real world feedback on the good, bad, and ugly of electronic locks? Are there particular types that I should be looking for, or should avoid?

A buddy of mine just picked up a Remmy 700 PSS, and invited me out this weekend to try it out. Whenever we go shooting, we usually supply our own ammo. I have a ton of milsurp Port and Aussie ammo for my M1A - I absolutely love the stuff (as does my M1A). Would it be OK for me to use it in...

I'm in the market for a safe. I've noticed significant increases in price when going from a non fireproof safe to a fireproof one of similar dimensions. Is fireproofness an important criteria for you when shopping for safes? FWIW, my insurance policy will adequately pay for any losses that are...

Just put a pair of smooth Ahrends grips on my S&W 66. In a word, they look fantastic. There is, however, a small problem...they are slicker than greased moose poop! On top of that, my hands tend to be very dry, so getting a good grip is difficult. A friend suggests taking sandpaper to the...

I hadn't given it any thought until tonight, but why not? What do you think keeps it from being one's choice for a home defense gun? Capacity? Caliber? What? Just wondering...

I know that this is going to sound odd, but can anyone give me a good reason why the eight-shot 627PC in .357 wouldn't be a good choice for a home defense gun? Please hear me out....on one hand, you have the undeniable reliability of a revolver, coupled with near pistol mag capacity (unless of...

Aesthetics aside, do you recommend rubber or wood grips to someone who is recoil sensitive? I recently convinced a work buddy to pick up a used S&W 686 for a song. It will be his HD gun. His only other handgun is/was a Beretta Tomcat (.32). I'm not so much worried about him (he's fit and I'm...
