    Which pistol do you wish you had back?

    S&W Model 39-2, nickel plated. The handgun was manufactured in 1976. I bought it in 1986 with only 50 rounds fired through it for $265. Most beautiful gun that I ever owned. Even surpassed the two-tone beauty of my Hi-Power Practical.

    Browning Hi-Power Practical. WWYD?

    Go for it! I have a BHP Practical in 40 S&W. I love the two tone, the shape of the gun, and the Pachmayer Signature grips. $ 579.00 retail is a good price. The only gunshop in my area that has them is Gander Mountain for $ 759.00 regular price as I recall. Fortunately, I bought mine used in...

    Do I need a .357?

    What's nice about the .357 mag is it's versatility. The .357 is my favorite revolver to shoot and I own 3 of them-S&W Mod. 28-2, 4 in., Colt Trooper MKIII, 4 in., and S&W 686-5, in 2 1/2 in. I prefer the heavier frames myself. I tend to favor the Smith L frames the most, but Smith, Colt...

    Which 9mm WWB JHP is better, 115 gr. or 147 gr.?

    Check out the UMC Remington 100 rd. packs, 115 gr., JHP, for $ 14. 87 + tax at Wally World. The Remington JHP have been getting good reviews. It's definitely hotter than WWB. My personal preference is the 115 gr. over the 147 gr. for more penetration as a defensive round.

    Hi-Power or G19 ?

    I own the Glock 19, 23, and BHP in 40. It's going to boil down to which feels and shoots best and the purpose of use. For me, both feel comfortable in the hand. In bowling pin shoots or plate shoots, I have better times and accuracy with the BHP. The sights for me are better on the BHP, so...

    When it comes to guns, do you buy American?

    Not necessarily. I buy what I like. All of my revolvers (S&W and Colt) and rifles (USRAC/Winchester, Marlin, Ruger, Colt, and Essential Arms) are American made. All of my semi-auto pistols are foreign born (Browning, CZ, and Glock) though the Glock was assembled in the US. Another thing that...

    AR-15 or a Mini 14

    I own and like both. When I bought my mini 14 ranch, I got it new for under $300.00 on sale. Colt ARs were twice that much. I bought my Colt AR-15 National Match for $659.00. Right now, a Mini-14 is right about $500.00. A Bushmaster or other AR clone will be about $750.00. For that price...

    Pet Peeves, Part 2: Baby Talk

    As long as they are gun enthusiaists, I don't get too wound up about "magazine or clip", remmies, winnies, or roscoes. What I find more irritating are so called "experts" that have an opinion about everything. If you don't have what they have or what you have isn't as good as what they have...

    Glock or Not

    Guns are a subjective thing. I love Glocks. I own 3 of them. I love other types of handguns too. If a glock isn't for you, then choose something that you like, feels comfortable, and shoots well for you. My problem is there are so many choices and not nearly enough money or space to get...

    Most severely-recoiling firearms

    Shotguns Most painful to shoot were the single shot Stevens and H&Rs. Both kicked like mules and made my teeth rattle. The most painful round out of my Mossberg 500 was a 3in. turkey load that a so called "friend" said go ahead and shoot it. I did not thinking anything about it. It hurt...

    Your favorite: 686-what?

    Owned 2-686s. First one was a 686 no dash, 8 3/8 in. barrel. The high polish finish and trigger were perfect. The second is a 686-5, 2 1/2 in. barrel. The finish wasn't nearly as nice as the first. The gun looked like it had machine oil baked into the stainless steel, but with Flitz and...

    If Full-Auto Were Legal..Would You?

    If all regulations and taxes were lifted on the firearm and civilians could purchase them for the same price which law enforcement agencies purchase them for rather than paying $ 15,000.00 per gun, then heck ya

    S&W 686 Longer barrel?

    Go to the modern revolvers manual on the site. It is 36 pages long. Read pages 28-30. It will have the contact info that I think you are looking for.

    S&W 686 Longer barrel?

    You should be able to have a gunsmith swap barrels with ease. Contact S&W or an authorized S&W gunsmith. I had a 686, 8 3/8 in barrel that I wanted shorter. Decided it was easier to sell the gun to my brother and buy a 2 1/2 in snub 686. Check out http://www.smith-wesson.com. It should help...
