Okay... here goes. It's been a looooong journey. I've been carrying for years. Started with the full-sized .45's, then slowly but surely my carry guns got smaller and smaller. I got tired of lugging around 45 oz. of pistol + 2 extra magazines. Bought a Glock 33, which was perfect... until the...

Well, on December 26 I bought my first rifle... A 1944 Mosin Nagant M44. I saw it in a local gun shop while shopping for accessories for my new carry gun, a G33... For the price, I simply could not pass it up. So I walked out with my pockets about $80 lighter, and my shoulder about 9lbs...

I just bought my first Glock yesterday. I had a chance to sample a G27 a while back, and ever since then I knew I would own one of the sub-compact models. So yesterday, I went to ye local gun shoppe, and a NIB Glock 33 ended up following me home. Pics coming soon. I bought a couple boxes of...

I'm always reading about NY reloads, and BUG's. People advocate carrying a second gun quite often, but I wonder exactly how many people really carry more than one gun on their person at all times. So, I posted up this little poll to see how many of you guys REALLY walk it like a lot of you...

This thread is inspired by something I keep seeing recently. Maybe it was always there and I just never paid attention, but I'm really curious about this. Are there really people out there (folks w/serious health problems, or of older age excluded) who can't handle 9mm? I have a hard time...

Yeah, I know, I know... A S&W 500 Magnum is HUGE. BUT... Thanks to these new huge revolvers and the calibers they are chambered for (.480 Ruger, .460 and .500 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, etc.) we finally have pistol rounds that do rifle damage. So since the general concensus is that rifles...

Hey all! For a long time now, I've been at somewhat of a plateau as far as my shooting ability is concerned. Inside of 15 yards, I can shoot a 2" group or better with any of my major caliber pistols (and yes, I'm including revolvers when I say pistols, but that's another thread). Once we get...

So, the name of the thread says it all... Here's the story. The girlfriend and I are looking at several different guns for carry. I've been carrying full sized guns, and would like to try something small for a change. She's been buying compact guns, but she now wants something other than a...

Hello all! The name of the thread says it all... I need you to talk me into, or talk me out of, buying 2 new Para Ordnances for me and my girlfriend. These will be carry guns, so they will also see a lot of range time. The main selling point for me, other than the fact tht they're 1911's (do...

Hello all! I'll ask for everyone's forgiveness in advance. There probably won't be much organization to this post, as I have so many thoughts and don't quite know how to articulate them. Unfortunately, I type faster than I think sometimes. Here goes. I'm a city boy, no two ways about it...

Hello all. I have a question, and didn't know which forum to post in, so I gave it my best guess. Mods, please move if necessary so I'll know where to post a question like this in the future. My question is basically stated in the title, but I'll be a a little more specific. Let's say you...

I was 12 when I fired my first gun. A snub nose .357 Magnum that a friend of my mother had purchased. We spent most of the day firing off .38 Spl rounds, and after a little shotgunning, we broke out the .357 rounds. Although I was impressed with (and shot better with) that little snubbie, when...

A while ago I bought my first revolver – the Colt in my sig line. I’ve been wanting another revolver recently. This Colt is almost as old as my mama – and while it has character and a hell of a story attached to it now, it just wasn’t “doing it” for me anymore… I knew I wanted another revolver...

Hello, good people of THR! The day before yesterday I acquired a new revolver - a Taurus 608. She's a beauty - an 8-shot .357 Magnum with a 4" ported barrel, and a lovely matte stainless steel finish. Yesterday, when I went to pick up some hot .357 ammo to shoot, my girlfriend noticed...

I posted a thread not too long ago about this nice Colt revolver I found in a pawn shop for $100.00 – Well, it’s been a LONG week to say the least. Let’s just say that now I can speak from 1st hand experience what it’s like to fire a gun indoors (no, it doesn't make you deaf), and I also know a...

I often hear the .40S&W and .357 Sig, among other pistol calibers regarded as 'insignificant' rounds, compromise rounds, answers to an unasked question, etc. Lot's of people seem to completely stay away from those rounds for these reasons. To keep it short and simple, I just don't get it...

...it's not a Taurus Tracker by any means, but this is definitely alright by me for my first revolver. It might be true that I am somewhat of an impulse spender when it comes to guns, but I think I got a good deal. I’ll let you good folks decide on that. I went looking around today to see if...

I'm simple minded... Nothing like some nice, pretty pictures of 1911's to make me want to go spend more money on one. :D I'll start: although I feel a warning is in order. I am not a photographer by any means. This is my Auto Ordnance 1911A1 - Nothing special, just some Hogue rubber finger...

First post here in the Revolver forum, hello all! The very gun of any kind that I ever fired was a revolver. A pretty little chromed .357 / .38 spec, with a 2" barrel that a friend of my mom took me to shoot. I was hooked! The only problem was, I was 12 years old. :rolleyes: Over time my...
