The bill is gaining steam. Click here for AOLNews post.

Important Note: The business involved here will remain nameless as I have purchased thousands of rounds of from them with no problems. I consider them to be a very competent ammo provider and will purchase from them again without hesitation. This one cartridge obviously slipped through their...

What is the 642 Club? Just a place to hang a snubnose post? No. We are a testament to a very popular revolver. We are a front-line, almost real-time, almost face-to-face, first-rate reference, with a vast wealth of knowledge on grips, ammo, carry methods, etc. I am proud of this...

I wish there were better details describing how this happened.

Supposedly Cho Seung-Hui bought one or both of his handguns from a gun shop in Roanoke. I heard a report on ABC News Radio that basically threw this gun shop owner under the bus. "The gun shop in Roanoke has a crime-related history. This is the 5th time they have sold firearms that were...

What does the phrase "tapered barrel" mean? It appears to be a slight narrowing of the barrel from rear to muzzle. I've seen the phrase used along side "bull barrel" or "full barrel". Are there any advantages/disadvantages to a tapered barrel? Thanks for your time. R/fiVe

Yesterday, I became the proud owner of a Maverick Security 88. 18½ inch barrel with a 5-round magazine tube. I bought it at Academy Sports for $169.00 and I'm glad to finally have a HD shottie. 3 questions: Does a standard Marverick 88 have a cylinder bore or improved cylinder? What is a...

Does anyone know any specifics about this new offering from CenterFireSystems? .38 Special

I hear a lot about gun restrictions, et al in CA, but I am really ignorant of the gun laws there. What is involved with a gun purchase out there? How long a waiting period? Is the waiting period waived if I happen to have a CA CWL? Is there a difference between buying a long gun and a hand...

Does anyone own one of these or know someone who does? This model is SASS approved. It's kinda neat, but how do you "eject" the spent cartridges--remove the cylinder? U. S. Firearms Snubbie R/fiVe

At 9:55 this morning, my wife called to tell me someone was trying to break into our house. She was home with our 2 sons -- 21 and 17 years old. They were all cool-headed. Both sons got armed quickly (makes a Papa proud!). Here are the details... Someone rang our doorbell rapidly -- approx...

I found the definition for "Cruiser Ready", but I need a clarification on some things... 1: I see the phrase "leaves springs relaxed in the acton" and I understand that, but what about the spring in the magazine? Is spring tension an issue there? 2: Is a pump shotgun better than an...

I must confess that my opinion of California concealed carry laws might be at least partially biased--overly strict and restrictive, anti-2nd amendment, etc.--but I have no first-hand knowledge about this. Someone told me that southern California is not near as strict as the rest of the state...

I've read a few threads here on THR about Wal-Mart ceasing the sale of firearms (or firearms/ammo) at some stores. Yesterday, I was in the Wal-Mart nearest my home and I happened to ask the Sporting Goods clerk (had Assistant Manager on his name tag) about this. He said in June they will begin...

Last night on 24: Jack is trying to extract information from an "international secret info broker" named Collette Stenger. He accuses her of withholding information about his mentor-turned-thug Chris Henderson. The Federal Marshal guarding Collette says that Jack can’t question her until the...

I read somewhere that .44 special is really a reloader's round. Will there ever come a day when the average guy cannot buy .44 special ammo? Will there ever come a day when the you cannot buy a new .44 special (not .44 magnum) revolver? R/fiVe

Many, many months ago, I heard that the big search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) were not gun friendly. At the time, Teoma was recommended, and I've happliy searched at teoma.com ever since. Now, I find out that Teoma has merged with ask.com which is apparently tied to iwon.com in some way...

If this has been answered in another thread, I apologize. I confess that my search thru Handguns:Revolvers was somewhat half-hearted. Are 6-round full moon clips generic enough to fit any 6-shot .45 revolver? If a moon clip fits a S&W 625, will it work in any S&W 6-shot .45? Will it work...
