    S&W Model 22A - A Good Buy?

    I've been looking to add another .22 pistol to my collection. I currently have a Walther P22 that I greatly enjoy, but I'd like something with a bit more of a "target" focus. So far, the pistol that's been showing up in the local shops with the best price/features has been the 22A, both new and...

    Hello. After the last 6 months of living in Clemson, I'm thinking of getting my CCW permit. I've located a class near Anderson, and I was curious about the qualification. What are the ranges, yard wise, that you need to qualify at? Thanks in advance.

    Selecting a SAA Clone

    Ok, this question has been asked a thousand times... but, I do have a side question on top of that. Right now, there seem to be 3 major SAA Clones out there: the Ruger New Vaquero, the Taurus Gaucho, and the Uberti Cattleman. Of the three, which would you choose? On the negatives, I've...

    Handled a Hi-Point today

    So, after the last couple thread here, I decided to give the much-maligned Hi-Point a fondle at the gun shop down the street from my workplace. Colosimo's in Philly. I asked to handle their Hi-Point in .45 ACP. Now, the dang thing is still just about the ugliest firearm ever created, but I...

    1911 - Ease of Modification Question

    So, I'm looking at possibly carrying my 1911 CCW. I'd love to do so, but there's one small problem. The standard iron sights are a bit... dull, and iron-like. And while my corrected vision is fine, my eyes aren't so keen on these sights in less-than-broad-daylight. So, I was thinking of...

    "Keep your powder dry..."

    I live in Philadelphia. This is soon to change, thank god. As some may know, Philly can get a bit wet from time to time... in fact, about a month or two ago, the big rain storm causes my basement to take on water. Now, almost all of my stuff was thankfully up and away from the water (and...

    CHL Classes in South Carolina

    I will be moving to South Carolina in a couple months, and I was interested in getting my CHL. Filling out the paperwork should be pretty ok, but I was also curious if anyone had a line on a decent, affordable CHL class for SC. FYI, I'll be living in Clemson, so any place that's within easy...

    Incredibly Absurd Question on Folding Stocks

    So, I was at the range yesterday, and while I was waiting for a lane to open up, I decided to partake in some gun lust. One of the items I examined was an 870 12gauge with a pistol grip and a folding stock. Cool. I want one! On the side of the stock, though, there was the inscription "Law...

    Firearms in France

    Ok, I know that with that thread, i just elicited a lot of snorts. Let's move on. :) I've applied for a job in France that, if I am accepted, will start in September. It would last almost a year - a very long time to be away from my hobby. My question is this: is there any way that I might...

    Searching for THR folks in Philly

    Hey, there. I moved to Philly about a month ago and I was looking to see if any other members lived in or around the area. I'm curious for recommendations for good FLGSes, ranges, and, heck, someone to go shooting with. Drop me a line or post here - I'm always interested in meeting another...
