The .22 WMR CZ 452 Lux in in my safe is a great rifle. The CZ 455 Lux is the next generation.

Glad to read the OP's revolver is back at Smith&Wesson. My only experience was after I purchased a Mod 686 no dash and noticed it also had no "M" meaning the recall mod had not been performed. I called S&W and they paid for FEDEX both ways and I had the 686 back in about 10 days IIRC. They...

I have a Browning 525 and it is a very good looking "shotgun". If I had the coin to spare I'd seriously be looking at a 725 field grade.

Not being a waterfowl hunter, in addition to the differences in choke requirements, I understand that 3" rounds are used for payload and range issues. OTOH, Skeet shooters typically uses light target loads. So any shotgun will need to function well across the spectrum of load power levels...

"Standard" is the terminology of the article; perhaps "common" shotgun would be a better description than standard, but it wasn't my article. That said, I consider a Rem 870 to be one of the most common shotguns and this legislation's language is pointed right at the Rem 870. Since it can be...

The latest I've seen on the Colorado gun bill is at: Popular Standard Shotgun Could Be Banned Under Proposed Bill Long story short, any pump or semi-auto with a tube magazine that can be altered to accept more than eight shotgun shells is defined in the law as having a high capacity magazine...

My first .22 pistol was a S&W Mod 41. Great pistol IMO. 100% reliable with high velocity ammo, but not 100% with standard velocity target ammo. Smith & Wesson Model 41 -- I bought mine over 20 years ago so needless to say, I didn't pay that much. OTOH, my Ruger 22/45 is 100% with just...

Thanks. Found another recent thread titled Snub .357 effectiveness which answered most of my questions but from another reference. The short barrel .38 Spl should work well in the SP-101 and should be a lower recoil/low flash solution in the longer barrels. It isn't .357 Mag, for that I have...

I recently purchased some Speer 38 Special +P 135 Grain Gold Dot supposedly designed with short barrels in mind -- http://www.speer-ammo.com/products/short_brl.aspx. I have a Ruger SP-101 which this ammo seems perfect for (at least on paper), but how will it perform from a longer barrel...

I buy guns new and I've bought guns used; it all depends on the gun. I've never had an issue with my used guns and got a good deal on them -- handguns, rifles and pistols. My S&W Mod 19 is a police turn-in with a lot of holster wear and a great action; it was fired very little. IIRC I paid a...

Wow, how do you define "good double barrel"? I very recently picked up a previously owned Fox (Savage Arms) SxS 12 ga in very nice condition and the price was a mere $500 or thereabouts. That would easily fall within the VP's recommendation for HD and is less than an AR. I'm still more likely...

Note that he specified double barrel, not pump, not semi-auto. I have a double barrel (Fox-Savage) and it's a nice looking gun, but for HD I'll be using a 12 ga Remington 870 pump filled with 00B backed up with my Glock. Buckshot (00B to 4B) should be an effective load in my situation...

Thanks Thanks for the responses. I can take or leave the full lug and the esthetics of both are fine; it's about how well it shoots and points. I have an older S&W 29-2 that shoots well (it will group at 100 yds if you can), but I had my hands on a new 5” full lug 629; it balanced and seemed...

How does the S&W 629 w/ 6" barrel compare to the 629 w/ 5" full lug. The 6" barrel model is something like 0.7 ounces heavier, not significant, but how do these two compare regarding balance and muzzle rise with moderate loads? TIA.

True, but IC is a very open choke, good for Skeet (done that) but something a tad tighter would be better for Trap. I started shooting Trap using a Rem 870 with a fixed full choke barrel and upgraded to a ribbed barrel with choke tubes. Dropping from Full to IM choke was a vast improvement...

Inside a house where carrying is not an issue, a 6" N-frame is a very nice tool; I have a S&W Mod 28 and it's not too big. Recoil is much more controllable and an N-frame .357 Mag can handle .38 Spl +P all day. Now an 8 3/8" S&W Mod 27 (got one of these also) would be a bit big, but the 6"...

Looks like a new sig line... :)

Reloading may not change things unless you already have a stock of expendables like primers, bullets and powder. Brass I have, but check the availability of the rest of the components.

My ported Browning 525 throws hot gas from both sides of the barrel. Am I just not seeing gas on the photographers side of the gun? For doubles it's advisable to have chokes in both tubes, not just the upper. Maybe he's just shooting informal clay targets and not a formal round of Skeet...
