i wont ccw any piece that i can’t quickly, consistently & reliably hit with successive double taps, can’t well conceal, don’t know well enough to fieldstrip when half-asleep, regardless of caliber.

an unexercised muscle, or constitutional right, atrophies. is how i choose to peaceably exercise, or not, any of my unalienable rights also open to public discussion? just as i firmly believe in our enumerated rkba, i also adhere to our unenumerated right to privacy. if asked by friends about...

i had two new ruger wranglers and sold them for about what i paid. nothing wrong with them but: i am downsizing; i already have two lovely & forever ruger single sixes; i replaced the wranglers with a ruger mark4 pistol. if i had no rimfire handgun i would run to buy a new, $250ish, steel...

sprint don’t walk to get the ruger blackhawk convertible 10mm/40sw. you won’t regret it. put hogue or pachmayr rubber grips on it for more shooting comfort. during the last ammo drought 40sw was available at decent prices. 10mm for alaskan apex predators, 40sw for lower 48, forest or urban...

taurus 856 38sp revolver loaded with six 148gr wadcutters, with six 158gr ball rounds in a speedloader, both secured in a small handgun safe next to my bed. reliable, one-handed operation. if need be my non-gunner wife can pick it up and use it. if it goes into a police evidence locker for...

i laid in a stash of 148gr wadcutters and magtech 125gr cbc shorts when both soft-shooting 38sp rounds were relatively available and cheap several years ago. highly recommended if recoil must be mitigated.

i was just thinking about this very topic after reading some snarky comments elsewhere about “hopeless boomers addicted to revolvers or 22s for protection.” infirmities from age, illness or injury make one a more tempting target by predators: it’s the first law of the jungle. surely the...

a 22lr henry lever action carbine is a “fountain of youth” for those of us who were weaned on black&white tv cowboy shows.

my entry to guns came as a kid connected to ww2. my mom’s older brother was killed while a p.o.w. her dad had died shortly after her birth from his ww1 injuries. she abhorred war and forbade us to watch any tv shows on war, especially “hogan’s heroes.” my dad had landed at easy red sector...

i can’t add much to what has been stated here so far. i have owned or shot many 22lr handguns: heritage, ruger, taurus, beretta, s&w, jimenez, h&r. my 22 handgun advice is to simply pick some flavor of used or new ruger as a foundation. revolver: single six or bearcat or super wranger or...

i totally lucked out on two s&w m10 revolvers on gunbroker. a pristine, blued, pencil barrel that the seller said was a bedside piece only, and a faded, worn, heavy barrel that was advertised as a former police sidearm. each was low $300s. both are superb shooters. for not over $350ish why...

why not execute a home search warrant during work hours when the principal is away but a spouse is home to be served? calmer, easier and safer for all. “innocent until proven guilty.” if sales were cash transactions and guns were already sold, what was object of a home search warrant as...

i have a sibling under my bed upstairs with #5 gameshot on tap. i can run it fast. stashed one each heritage roughrider loaded with cci stingers at the apartments of my late mom and late aunt. i stayed with each one alot while they were living and i was happy enough. they could use it in a...

“The .45 Colt, sometimes called the .45 Long Colt to distinguish it from the short .45 cartridge historically required by the S&W Schofield revolver, as well as the .45 ACP (also sometimes, incorrectly, referred to as the .45 Colt), is the oldest service cartridge still in use today.”...

then why bother with retired leo credentials and just try to peaceably carry any size sidearm, anyplace “all over the u.s.” like anyone else? i don’t blame anyone for making career choices that offer certain benefits, in fact more power to him. my cheaper shopping privileges and lifetime...

fmj ball ammo. no worries about feeding. i carry what i practice with.

but active or retired leo credentials are a get out of jail card when it comes to carrying a handgun. the worry and hassle of being confronted, even when carrying lawfully, are difficulties that the rest of us must conscientiously avoid.

just wondering what focused you on the stoeger? what other $300ish, compact handguns are you considering before 5/15? experience has taught me to be leery of both tiny and foreign handgun manufacturers when it comes to parts and warranty support, but ymmv. btw is the 7-day wait a...

a young cousin’s ccw is a glock 17. i couldn’t spot it until he displayed his rig. but he is fit, a farm manager in rural new england, almost always wears an untucked outer shirt or jacket, neither he nor anyone around him there gives a rat’s dupa if he is “made.” for physical and social...

given the high price of 45lc, 357/38, 327/32 ammo, i would be perfectly happy with a range of single-action revolvers chambered only in relatively cheaper 45acp, 9mm or even 380acp. i am just a simple and frugal shooter who loves single-action revolvers (and bond arms derringers). i am not a...
