At my local gun shop today, I saw a gun I know nothing about--which isn't unusual when it comes to shotguns--for sale. The gun was a 20 ga. SxS Western Field, I think the model was SBS300, but I could be wrong on that. Does anyone know anything about them? They wanted $190. Fair or too much...

I tried searching for a website for HKS speedloaders, but all I came up with was places that sell HKS speedloaders retail. Does anyone know if the actual company itself has a website? I want to start bugging them so they'll at least seriously consider making a speedloader for 10-shot S&W 617...

I know, I know, bullet placement is far more important than cartridge size. But if it's hit in the old boiler room, will the venerable .30-06 stop a twister? Of course, I'm sure there will be magnum advocates who say that a .300 Win. Mag. is the LEAST you'd want for this type of dangerous...

After I order and install my new Hastings barrel, I plan to have my 870 fitted to me. In general, about how much should I expect to pay for this service? DAL

I'll finally be ordering a Hastings barrel for my old 870 Wingmaster, but I'm not sure which barrel length to order, 26" or 28". (My current barrel is 28".) Although I don't bird hunt, I may do so in the future. What I'll mainly use this gun for is cottontails. Any tips on this dilemma? DAL

Can your handloads beat factory ammo? It seems to me that factory ammo has gotten so much better than it used to be that, except for the tactile satisfaction I get from reloading, reloading for accuracy, at least in my hunting rifle, isn't necessary. (It probably never was, but reloading is so...

I just received what must be my third invitiation packet to join North American Hunting Club. Is anyone here a member? Is there any reason I should or should not join? DAL

How accurate, in general, are NEF rifles? MOA? Obviously, there isn't much to them mechanically, but has anyone had any problems with them? DAL

While visiting a local gun shop yesterday, I handled a nice little 1894C Marlin .357. Quite a nice little rifle it was. The only thing I didn't like about it was the sticky recoil pad. If/when I get one, that will be the first thing to go. The darn thing kept hanging up on my shirt as I...

I've never seen one advertised, but maybe one of you has. Does anyone make a speedloader for a S&W 617 10-shot revolver. I think I've seen them for their 6-shot revolvers, but not for the 10 rounder. DAL

What was the worst gun advice you ever received from a well-meaning individual? It could be related to buying a gun, marksmanship, training, safety, cleaning, etc. My worst advice came from my dad. Sure, he spent 22 years in the U.S. Army, did two tours of Vietnam in the infantry, and...

Being as expensive as many of them are, what are some of the best, no nonsense handgun training videos for self-defense you have found? I've rented a few from Lenny Magill from my local gun store but, while entertaining, they are short on substance. Any suggestions? DAL

Do you have some special way of concealing your handgun when you carry? Does it vary (I'm sure it does) between winter and summer? Do you use an untucked t-shirt, a jacket, a sportscoat, or something else? I usually wear my belly band holster year 'round. I'm fully aware, however, that...

Just in case you wanted an RIA 1911, you may want to check out the link below. It seems that the importer is having problems of some kind. Granted, they aren't the best 1911s on the market, but they do fill a niche, especially if someone wants an affordable 1911 for a plinking/fun gun. DAL...

Personally, I like a dot up front and a plain black rear sight. When using my CZ75BD for IDPA, I found that under pressure I would sometimes confuse one of the two rear dots for the front dot. After taking a permanent black marker to the two rear dots, sight accusition is much faster and surer...

So far, at least as far as non-magnum handgun calibers go, I have been using Clays exclusively for both .38 Spl. and .45 ACP (3.8 grs. of Clays under a 200 gr. LRNFP bullet is quite the tackdriver), and I'll probably use it for 9mm too, if/when I get around to reloading that caliber. Why...

I plan to send my Glock 26 in for some custom work to Robar as soon as I sell a rifle. Has anyone here had any experience with this company? The gun rags have had good things to say about Robar, but I'd like to get some unbiased opinions. DAL

Do you have guns that haven't seen the light of day for months or years? I do, and after giving it some serious consideration, I am selling off the ones I don't get around to using, and getting to know the ones I keep better. This is probably heresy to most people, and I would fully expect...

Family, friends, charity, the state? As of right now, with a little luck, I won't have to worry about it for several decades (I'm 43). Have you taken the proactive stance of including instructions on their disposition in your will? My guns are going to my son when he's old enough for...

Stealing an idea from another thread, I'd like to know who would buy one of these ergonomic nightmares? They certainly couldn't be gun people. My brother actually bought a .40 Hi-Point--what a piece of poop. It's accurate enough, but it is extremely uncomfortable to fire. My brother is...
