    Sauer Rifle Model 200 - Any good?

    Sorry, I'm a little late joining this discussion. I bought my Sauer 200 way back in '87 in .243. If I sold all my long guns but one, this would be the keeper. I get similar groups to Ol' Joe. Twice, I've shot 4-shot groups less than 0.5" with handloads. I kick myself for not buying...

    Recommend a gun shop in Portland, OR that cater to females?

    Remember that you can only buy handguns in your state of residence. Sportsman's Warehouse on 82nd has inventory on the XD(M) when I was in there on Wednesday. If your sister hasn't discovered the Public Safety Training Center (PSTC) near Clackamas Mall, she should do so (you both should)...

    Revolver Timing

    Update Talked to Smith and Wesson today...very, very nice guy. He said it's called "Throw By". Most likely cause is a worn locking groove on the cylinder. Worst case is a new cylinder (about $175). Could be worse! I'll be sending it back tomorrow. Should come back perfect!

    Deer rifle for my wife

    I've been using a Sauer .243 for years with fabulous results. It can be extremely accurate, is very flat and carries enough energy out to at least 300 yards for average size deer. The recoil is extremely mild even in a lightweight rifle. I couldn't recommend it higher.

    SureFire Ultra U2

    The Surefire U2, uncharacteristically of Surefire, has a terrible quality record. It has a reputation of a "donut" beam (darker spot in the center) and a number of failures of the switch. Check out www.candlepowerforums.com.

    Missed Shooting by Two Minutes--Advice

    Two guys fighting have complete tunnel vision. Go on...they'll never know you were there. If they're not threatening you, stay out of it, stay alive.

    Revolver Timing

    UPDATE UPDATE: I took the gun to the range yesterday. In single action, there is no problem. In double action slow fire, there is no problem. HOWEVER...once I tried firing double action rapid fire, I started having problems. ONE chamber, when fired fast, DOES NOT LOCK. The momentum of...

    Most ridiculous gun moment in a movie or TV show.

    "Grosse Pointe Blank" where Dan Aykroyd and John Cusack have a gunfight in the kitchen. Aykroyd with a pair of S&W revolvers and Cusack with a couple of semi autos. Hilarious.

    Black Talons

    84B20: Great picture. That is EXACTLY what they were advertised to do: expand uniformly and reliably with the sharp jacket sticking out beyond the lead to slice through, and they worked. I was issues them as a deputy and just found TWO last night. Wish I had a whole box.

    Revolver Timing

    Thanks for those comments. I hadn't realized that it could be off on one chamber, but of course that's correct. Last night, I checked timing and it appeared to lock fine before the sear breaking...but I only checked 2 or 3 chambers. I also shined a flashlight down the barrel and the chamber...

    Revolver Timing

    Hi all...first thread for me. I recently found a nice 90% S&W Model 29 and a fantastic, maybe 95-98% S&W M586. I took them to the range. The M29 is incredible...offhand one hole groups to 15 yards. The 586, however, just didn't shoot the group I expected. It wasn't [I]bad[I] just wasn't...

    Woot!! What fun!!! Beretta U22 Neos w/ red dot

    FINALLY a post on the Neos! I'd never owned a .22 handgun. I wanted to get something to teach my new wife shooting, and the Neos was cheap and a Beretta. I LOVE this gun! I'm not sure what problems people have had with the trigger, but I think it's just fine. My new wife's first magazine...

    California CCW Question

    When I moved to CA in 1989, I moved to Placer County almost exclusively because of CCW. Had one for 12 years there. Have to confess that I went through POST and became a reserve deputy, but the last 5 years I was not. Now in a Must Issue state. Ahhhhhhh. Now I'm legal in 29 states.

    .222 Magnum for Deer?

    Is it legal? Most western states require minimum .24 caliber.

    Glock 30

    I've owned the same G21 since I bought it for duty carry in '92. I shoot in a league every Wednesday. I shoot both guns equally well! The G30 is the ideal gun IMO. I'm trying to trade a G23 for another G30 as backup at the moment. If I could have only 1 pistol, the G30 would be it. Nice trade...

    need used .357...any suggestions?

    Can't disagree with Ala Dan. But, I just got a choice S&W 586 in MINT for $350 that I would easily pay the $50 premium for over a M19. Patience and looking around is the key!

    Illegal Immigration opponent creates stir at Cinco de Mayo celebration

    Crazed ss said: "This guy is just trying to rile people up so he can have an excuse to shoot some brown people. " He OBVIOUSLY wan't looking for an excuse to shoot "some brown people" (what a racist remark) or he would have gone INTO the park. How is his "trying to rile people up" any...
