    .22lr revolver - how challenging to keep clean?

    I own a couple .38/357 revolvers. Love them, but also hate cleaning them. Compared to my auto pistols which take about 10 minutes to clean, I usually spend 30-60 minutes cleaning my revolvers, due to having a barrel plus 6 chambers to clean. I'm thinking a .22lr revolver would be even more...

    Noise level of .32 S&W long revolver

    I have an interest in the .32 S&W long cartridge, but I have never fired a revolver chambered in this cartridge before. I have seen it mentioned often that it has perhaps the mildest report of any centerfire pistol cartridge. I have even heard someone claim that it has a milder report than a...

    Performance of .32 S&W Long in a .327?

    So I have a strange fascination with the .32 S&W long, and I feel its a shame that there are essentially no more new production guns in this caliber available (in the US at least). I think it definitely fills a niche for those who may be looking for a centerfire caliber with very low recoil...

    Pistols that are less susceptible to limp-wrist malfunctions?

    I've primary been a revolver user in the past. Usually milder calibers like .38 special. As a result my grip/arm stance is pretty relaxed overall. I'm used to shooting with my elbows bent slightly to allow the gun to "roll" with the recoil. I like this method because the recoil seems to be...

    Recoil level of Bersa Thunder 380?

    I am considering picking up a Bersa Thunder 380 just to use as a range/fun gun. I always wanted to get a PPK, but they are just too expensive for me to justify buying one. Obviously the PPK is a higher quality gun, but I figure the Bersa comes pretty close in both looks and function, but at...

    Mark IV vs. Buckmark vs. S&W Victory - which is easiest to rack?

    My only experience with .22lr handguns has been with revolvers and a Walther P22. I am looking to add a full size .22lr semi auto to my collection, such as one of the models mentioned in the title. All three seem to comparable in terms of quality, accuracy, and manual of arms. But i'm...

    Size of S&W model 10 vs. GP100

    Let me start by saying I have very small hands/fingers (for a guy). I generally wear medium size gloves. I've owned a GP100 for many years now. I do love the gun, but I could never really shoot it very well in double action. In single action mode, it is a tack driver with 38 target loads...

    Muzzle blast/noise level - 9mm vs .380

    Hey all, My wife enjoys going to the range with me, but she is pretty sensitive to muzzle blast/noise. Even with plugs and muffs, she still doesn't like shooting heavy calibers. She'll usually just stick to shooting 22lr for this reason. She has fired my GP100 with some mild 38 special...

    Pistol for very small hands

    Im trying to decide on a home defense pistol that both my wife and I would be comfortable using. Problem is, my wife is small (about 5'1) and she has tiny hands. She has a hard time being able to reach and pull most double action triggers. Ive considered a single action such as a 1911...

    Mossberg 500 410 failure to feed

    I have a mossberg 500 in 410 bore that is having a failure to feed issue. It seems to get worse as the gun warms up. Trying different brands of ammo helps, but it still occurs with all brands. I did some searching and apparently this problem is due to either the shell stop and/or the...
