I wrote this after reading the thread about Bill (I sold my ass to the Chinese) Clinton's comments to the anti-rights mayors. We weep and moan about how the 2nd Amendment is done...we'll lose our choices about what firearms WE, as Americans, decide to buy for our uses. Well, there's better...

I picked up a Blackhawk .45 Colt/.45 ACP about 6 months ago. This one is blued with the 4 5/8th's barrel. I really enjoy the gun. I do have a hankering to install birdshead grips on this revolver. I really like the looks of the birdshead type grips. I know Brownell's has the grip frame in...

I recently bought a Ruger Blackhawk convertable (.45 Colt/.45 ACP). When ejecting the empty cases (or unfired rounds), the cylinder does not line up with the ejection rod unless I visually align it. Per my understanding of the manual (and I may well be wrong), once you hear the click (as you...

I put a .45 Colt/.45 ACP (4 5/8ths barrel) on order a few weeks back. The dealer said they've been on backorder for quite a while. Anyone have any ideas why these guns are on backorder? Apparently, the .45 Colt (non-convertible) and .357 (non-convertible) revolvers are readily available...

Although I've carried for a lot of years, it's always been pocket (snubby .38) or with an OWB holster (normally a Glock 19). Although I have had a couple IWB holsters (for the snubby), I never really used them much. I picked up a Ruger SP101 recently. The gun has the 3.06" barrel. I intend to...

Has anyone ever changed a spur hammer to a bobbed hammer on a Taurus 85? I've got an 85 Ultra Lite. It's a sweet little revolver which I pocket carry in a Mikas holster. The parts manual for these revolvers show the spur hammer only, btw. However, sometimes I'd like to carry in a jacket...

Two more gun bills. This one is insidious and is important to ALL gun owners, regardless of the state you live in: HOUSE BILL No. 1745 Session of 2007 INTRODUCED BY JAMES, YOUNGBLOOD, JOSEPHS, CURRY, KIRKLAND, MYERS, THOMAS AND WILLIAMS, JULY 13, 2007...

To all THR readers from Pennsylvania: Two bills have been introduced: H.B. 1235 clarifies and expands challenges to "ANY PERSON WHO IS DENIED THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE, SELL, TRANSFER, POSSESS, CARRY, MANUFACTURE OR PURCHASE A FIREARM AS A RESULT OF THE PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED BY THIS SECTION MAY...

I recently acquired a side folding stock from a friend who sold his AK style rifle. I'd like to put this on a MAK 90 which currently has a thumbhole stock. I know I've got to comply with 922. I know one of the parts I use for compliance will be a pistol grip. What are the easiest parts to...

I just sent this to CNN: On 16 May, you used this headline: "Teen 'afraid every day' as gun violence soars" Your bias is showing here and I expect you to correct it. Violence is violence, regardless of the tool being used to commit that violence. By specifying guns (regardless if they...

The article is in the Washington Times: Kaine will tighten gun-buyer controls. I don't see any loosening of CCW in schools. I'm in PA, so not much I could do on this, but you folks in Virginia might want to read this article and make your views known to your representatives...and call the...

This was posted on another forum as a response to another post. The original post is in italics and is verbatum other then names have been removed for privacy. The names would be irrelevent, anyway: [I didn't know which of the VA threads to put this on.. but here it goes.. I was talking...

This person used two handguns (as of now, one was a 9 mm, the other a .22...one of which had the serial number removed...but that is speculation). He killed 32 people in a relatively short period of time. He had also (per reports read here on THR and other gun web sites) been in the US a...

I thought Zumbo's comments were pretty stupid, as most on THR do. However, I'm sure he's properly chastised for his poor judgment. But we cannot divide ourselves by continuing these threads...Pelosi, McCarthy and others of their ilk are still lurking. Let us return our attention to the...

When I carry a semi-auto, I go more with chamber empty. So, I'd have to rack the slide if I got into an SD situation. As most of you know, dumping one in the chamber (unless you carry a smaller caliber with a tip up barrel like a Beretta Tomcat) can cause bullet set back. Set back can lead to...

I'm considering one of these guns. Looking for input from anyone who owns or has fired one. I'm not sure, but I think Beretta sells them too. I know S&W has a version as well, so if you got one of them, please respond as well.

Although I do not expect the Democrats to initiate too much gun control (except there's little doubt in my mind an AWB is coming in some guise), I do expect a renewal of laws authorizing law suits against gun manufacturers. This "backdoor" gun control can do many manufacturers in, just as it...

I'm looking to buy a .22 lever action. The Henry's look pretty nice, but I'd like to read opinions of others who own them.... Any help?

I like this rifle... Anyone have any experience with one yet?

what's a reasonable scope for a Marlin 1894 (.38/.357)? This rifle is to be used for smaller varmits (groundhogs, squirrels) at less the 100 yards. Why the scope? For those over 50, they'll know the answer. I'd like to keep it around $100.
