I recently did some hiking and camping with my 3" GP100 and carried it in an Uncle Mike's Side Kick hip holster. I have never carried a revolver in an OWB holster and felt that compared to a pistol in the exact same style of holster it felt a little top heavy because of the grip sticking up and...

I know there have been threads and polls like this before but these are the 3 handguns I am deciding between for a weekend hiking, very easy hiking BTW, and camping trip. This will be in Northern Arizona so I know that grizzlies will not be an issue. I just want some protection with me as I am...

I posted this on the Ruger forum but thought I would ask you good folks as well. The title pretty much sums it up. Since I don't get the chance to go hiking very often I am looking for a moderately priced holster that will keep the gun secure and fit well, it doesn't have to be leather. Thanks

I'm trying to understand something and am at a complete loss. If the 9mm typically has a PSI pressure of 35000 and so does the 40 S&W, why is it that the 40 is considered so much more abusive on guns than the 9mm?

I have never sold a gun privately other than at a gun show and I am wondering what you all do when selling a gun. My specific question really is, where do you go to complete the transaction? Not to be paranoid but I really don't want someone coming to my house so what are some good alternative...

Just had to share an experience I had today. My wife and I stopped at an estate sale to check things out and one of the items was a 4" stainless Ruger GP100 priced at $400. As I was looking at it the guy running the sale told me, in all earnestness, that these guns are hard to come by and sell...

I have owned this gun for several years but have only taken it out a couple of times to the range. I seem to have an ongoing problem with the .357 round getting hung up as I try to chamber it. The odd thing is that .38 specials don't have this issue. I would really appreciate any advice as to...

I am considering opening a niche market gun store in the Phoenix area and am soliciting comments from those that have gone into this business, pro and con. I realize that there is no shortage of places to buy guns in Phoenix but I have an idea I am kicking around that would be unique to this area.

If you take two pistols of same make and model why does one shoot anything you feed it and the other will only digest certain rounds? Curious about the specific variables that create these idiosyncracies. I had a .380 Sig 230 that would eat anything except 95 grain Hydra-Shok. Recently I was...

There have been several times when I have replaced a niche gun with something else but just couldn't bring myself to sell the previous gun that has now been replaced. My most recent example of this; I had been carrying a S&W 640 as my CCW but as of late I have been carrying a S&W 442 because it...

I know this is a common quandry for many gun nuts and that is which gun should I pick for this purpose or that purpose, etc. I am going through this now on my home defense handgun. Here are the options I have narrrowed it down to so please limit your comments to these guns and not suggest I...

My wife doesn't care for guns but understands that I do and never complains about my interest in them. To get to the point, the other morning we needed to go to our storage unit very early in the a.m. (before 6) to meet some workers there. When we got there we had to wait outside and it was...

I took my 442 (Airweight concealed hammer) to the range yesterday for the second time since I bought it and was very pleased. My first range session left me wondering if I should really use this as my CCW and if the gun was ok as I was all over the place with my shots. When I went back for a...

I have a S&W 65 with some very light hairline scratches on it. Does anyone know a good method for polishing them out?

I bought some Mpro7 to try out as I have read that it is pretty good stuff. I have always used Hoppe's in the past and have been happy with it but since my wife can't stand the smell of Hoppe's I thought I would give this a try. It appears to have worked well on my pistols and revolver yet my...

I have a S&W 442 (concealed hammer) no dash and want to carry the 135 grain Speer Gold Dot .38 special +P in it. What is the consensus on carrying and shooting a few of these rounds through a non+p rated gun? I haven't shot any +p through it so far.

For the past twenty years I have played that game we all know so well and love to discuss on the forums, "what is the best gun/caliber for this or that situation." I have gone through countless considerations as to the pros and cons of dozens of guns and finally arrived at the ideal defensive...

I would like to get some information as to the different handgun shooting sports such as IDPA and IPSC. Can anyone tell me what are the specifics to these or any other formal shooting matches. Thanks, Mike

I just received a pair of Ahrends boot grips that I ordered through pickagrip.com and upon opening the package discovered that there was a rather significant chip in one of the panels. I'm naturally sending them back tomorrow and hope that they will make this right. Will post results of my...

A friend of mine has an unfired Mustang Pocketlite and would like to know how much it is approximatley worth if he were to sell it. I went to Gunbroker but they didn't have any listed so I thought I would turn to you good folks for direction. Thanks for your help, Mike
