After reading and watching a bunch of YouTube reviews, and then actually handling and checking over several different “micro” and/or “sub-compact” 9mm pistols, I recently bought myself a Springfield Armory Hellcat. I like it, it’s been 100% reliable so far, it seems quite accurate, and even...

Our middle grandson (home on leave from the Army), Matt showed up out at the house this afternoon with a like-new AR-15 chambered in .300 Blackout. About all I know about the cartridge is that I’ve seen it mentioned on THR quite a few times. I am interested though and will probably learn more...

I'd like to get myself a couple more 10-22 magazines (standard 10 round ones) and I was wondering what most folk's opinions are of the most reliable brands. I have an extended (25 round) magazine from Butler Creek, and it's actually as good if not better (in terms of reliability) as the Ruger...

This is the new walking staff my wife bought me for Christmas. I think I’m going to like it now that I’ve removed and thrown away the “Made in China” tag that was on it. ;) It’s 47” long, about 5/8” in diameter (not counting the end cap) at the bottom, and about 2” in diameter at the top...

Hey hso, can you tell us a little more about those "Imperial Trick Knives?" When, and how long were they made? I'm asking because my wife found this one in a box of stuff that she kind of "inherited" when her dad passed in 2005. We'd never seen one before. It took me a while to get it open...

Our daughter sent this photo to me. She says there's a mountain lion in it. I think my wife found it - it looks like a young one.

If I had a couple of "triple deuces," I'd take them out and shoot them today.:D

A week or 10 days ago, someone posted a question about Buck 112 "automatics." I researched them on the internet and thought I'd like to have one. Well, it just so happened that I was going into town that day, so I stopped by Sportsman's Warehouse to see if they had any in stock that I could...

Our daughter in Missoula texted my wife this afternoon to say our 10 year old grandson was being kept after school (along with all of the other kids) because there was a black bear sow and two cubs hanging around the bus stop. “Life in Missoula” she said.;) Missoula has a bunch of bear...

:DSomeone at Sportsman's Warehouse must have a sense of humor. While I was in there this morning looking for something for my grandson's birthday, I wandered back to the handloading department. These are what I found on the shelves where Sportsman's Warehouse used to have bullets: BTW, they...

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with Leatherman multi-tool prices? I've been considering a Leatherman Rebar (like we bought for one of our grandsons for Christmas) for myself, but they seem to be the same price ($69.95) everywhere I look. I saw one in Sportsman's Warehouse a couple of...

I'm posting this in "General Gun Discussions" instead of "Legal" because I'm not really interested in the real legal aspects. I'm just curious if a person still has to obtain a permit to buy a handgun in Ogden, Utah, or if anyone even remembers that. However, I hope the Mods will move this to...

As I posted back in June, our middle grandson got himself a Kimber 1911, 45ACP. He was out to the house yesterday for a visit, and he told us that unfortunately he hasn’t shot his new gun very much at all; he only has one box of ammo, and he knows that around here store bought 45ACP ammo is...

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a “fish hook hole” in a knife blade? I picked up a recent edition of The Backwoodsman magazine and there was an article about knives that the author felt were useful, and kind of all-purpose. The knife he designed and built himself had a...

We stopped in one of our favorite gun stores in Idaho Falls yesterday. They must have had at least 50, 5,000 round cases of some type of bulk Winchester 22LR ammo stacked down the middle of one of the aisles. It wasn’t something we were interested in, so even though one of the guys working...

Is anyone else shooting one of the newer Ruger Bearcats? My wife has a stainless Bearcat that’s only a couple of years old, and it seems like the cylinder holes are pretty tight. The Winchester “Power-Point” ammo she first tried to use to assassinate ground squirrels over at a rancher friend’s...

A little over six years ago, a heart attack took our oldest daughter’s husband, leaving her with 3 teenaged sons. It was pretty darned rough for a while. But yesterday, after a 2-year engagement, our beautiful daughter remarried. He’s a great guy, loves guns and shooting (even though he...

While doing a search about what kind of squirrels we have here, I found out that Red Squirrels are native to Idaho, and as of 2018, they are listed as a “game species” by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. So, for all of you squirrel hunters out there, are Red Squirrels the kind you hunt...

I had been considering a Ruger SR22 for a while now. I watched a bunch of review videos on the internet, did a search here on THR, read a bunch of posts, and went to several LGSs to fondle some SR22s and compare prices. I saw them priced all the way from $349 to $419. On Saturday, I’d finally...
