    Got my first big bore SA.

    Or big bore revolver for that matter. It's a NM Blackhawk in .45 Colt. Put 100rds through it so far and hope to start reloading for it soon. Should make for a great woods bumming gun for around the place. :D :

    Got my first .45 Colt...

    It's a Ruger NM Blackhawk and so far I'm hooked! granted I've only shot 50rds through it until I get a set of dies and start reloading for it. I've heard people saying that the triggers on the new models aren't very good but this one has no creep and breaks quite nice at 3.25 lbs. Looking...

    Bought a Glock 42...

    I can't quite believe it but I did and I'm also very pleased! Generally I'm more of a revolver guy when it comes to smaller carry guns, especially pocket guns. But I'm liking this "little" .380 a good bit. Put 150rds through it so far with only one hicup being a stovepipe on the last round in...

    What's a fellow to do?

    I've been reading up on the FBI and many PD's switching to 9mm and that got me thinking. (not a good thing.) So anyway, I carry a duty sized DA/SA single stack .45 in the winter and a compact version in the summer with a snub model 10 for "deep" concealment. I shoot the .45's the best of any...

    Shooting a revolver in IDPA for the first time.

    I'm planning on shooting my model 10 next Saturday and was wondering if ya'll have any advice for me. I've shot five matches so far, but with pistols, so this will be a little different. I'm going to use two Safariland comp 2 speedloaders and two speed strips since this is to improve/get used...

    My new .45!

    This is my second S&W 3rd gen in four months so I guess I've got the bug. :D It's a 4567, it is all steel and has a 4.25" barrel, night sights and uses a 8rd single stack magazine. (Think of it as a DA/SA combat commander.) The factory reset on the 3rd gens are amazing but this one seems just...

    My first K-frame.

    Well I'm a little slow in posting this but.. I got my first K-frame in the form of a 2" model 10-9! :D I'm loving this thing, it has an amazing 8.5Lb DA trigger pull that is as smooth as the DA trigger pull on my PC tuned 3rd gen. I bobbed the hammer and removed the SA notch. I know...

    I found my bad back rig.

    It's a Bianchi model 57 with a S&W 642. I recently got the holster in a trade thinking it would be good taking classes with my 642 (since with most classes you have to have the handgun on your belt.) and for carrying my 642 loaded with snake shot when I'm doing chores around the "farm"...

    What's your favorite flash suppressor for 10-12" barreled AR?

    I'm "building" an AR pistol which will take about a 8-10 months, so I've got time to plan and change my mind a dozen times. Anyways I'm leaning 5.56, (300 blackout is tempting exempt for the ammo cost.) and a 10.5-12.5" BMC complete upper. So my question is which flash suppressor do you guys...

    Please sign petition to remove suppressors for the NFA.

    Saw this on another forum and thought I'd share it. I would like for the whole NFA to be repealed not just suppressors, but still. I looked and didn't see a thread on this already, but if there is, please delete this.

    A sad looking knife.

    Hoping you guys can help me with this. This Barlow knife was my Grandpa's that my Grandma found not to long ago and she gave it to me. Now the second blade opens, but the smaller blade will not move at all. Would WD-40 and elbow grease get some of the rust and discoloration off? Any...

    You're a snubbie fanboy when...

    Some of this applies to revolver guys in general, but thought I would include them here as well. Please feel free to add to the list. (1) You own more than two J or K frames of the same style and barrel length i.e. a 642 and a 442 or a 19 and a 66. (2) You know what runs of the Charter Arms...

    New RIA.

    Saw this on another forum and thought I'd share. http://www.lipseys.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=RI51912 Looks like it's about the size of the Government .380s from Colt.

    Got a new (to me) .45!!

    Here's my new S&W Performance Center Shorty 45 MK2! :D Shot about 100rds through it and it was FUN! It only came with one 7rd magazine and no box or anything else. Oh, well. Here's some photos.

    A neat idea.

    I know it's Taurus, but a nice little package nonetheless. http://www.taurususa.com/whats-new-first-24-kit.cfm?utm_source=second%20media&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=second%20media

    Taurus 441 any good?

    At a LGS they have a Taurus 441 with either a 2.5" or 3" barrel and I've been thinking about of getting a .44 Spcl. So is this a good revolver or is a Charter arms Bulldog a better choice? I'm not trying to start a flame war, just wondering if anyone likes theirs or one they have shot. Thanks...

    What is the "wimpiest" handgun you would carry for SD?

    Just wondering what is everyone's minimum for SD. Mine is a S&W 642 or SIG P232.

    What's your favorite 1911 grips?

    I've been casually looking for some grips for my "1911" (a .22 made by Walther) and just wanted to see which ones you all like. Don't need photos... But sure would not mind them! Thanks.

    Wood stocks for a J-frame.

    Looking for some wood or laminate stocks for my 642. I have a set of Pachmayer compac's on it right now and I really like them as far as size and shape, but would like to get some wood stocks that are about the same size. Now I don't mind finger grooves, but if they don't have finger grooves...

    New to IDPA help.

    As the title says I'm new to IDPA. There is a local match on the 19th and I'm going to try to go and see how I do. I will be using my EDC (a Glock 19) and see how well I do with it, just wanting to test myself and equipment, while having fun. I already dry fire everyday, but mostly with my 642...
