I'm about to purchase a Glock 40 in 10mm, for hunting. This long slide model is built for target/hunting purposes. However, often factory triggers suck and need work or replacement. Owners of the Glock 40: * Is the trigger adjustable? (If so, what are the poundage ranges?) * Should it be...

I've hunted nearly everything with a handgun and would like to take on the challenge of hunting coyotes. I think carrying a handgun for close range work would be much easier than toting a shotgun, along with my rifle for the long range shots. What's your choice of caliber and type of action in...

I'm considering the purchase of a 1911 style pistol, in 10mm, for hunting coyotes inside 50 yards. The debate in my mind is whether it's worth the extra money for an extra inch of barrel length, from a 5" barrel to a 6" barrel. Honestly, for my hunting purposes I don't see the difference in...

Given the ballistic speeds of a 45-70, the likely possibility of a 300 gr. JHP opening up on a coyote are slim to none. Even if a larger bone(s) were hit, a coyote just doesn't have the mass for good bullet expansion, considering the size and lack of speed of a bullet...out of a 45-70. It's...

Have you shot one or more coyotes, past 100 yards? I have a good patterning shotgun for coyotes, if they're inside 60 yards. I also have a hard hitting rifle, that's good at or inside 100 yards. (Henry 44Mag w/Open sights) I'm considering the purchase of a Savage in .243, for shots past...

I own a Henry in 44 Mag and have been shopping for a 1895 Marlin CB in 45/70, for deer hunting. However, I've been reading several articles of guy killing their share of deer with the 44 Mag. So, I'm wondering if I should even bother getting the Marlin 45/70. Having said that, I understand...

I currently own a Henry Big Boy (steel frame), in 44 Mag. and plan on using it for coyotes, groundhogs and deer. However, when I purchased my Henry, I laid eyes on a Marlin 1895 Cowboy in 45-70 Govt...with a 26" octagon barrel. This rifle is long, gorgeous and called my name several times...

I would like to hear from those of you that have shot a straight stocked 45-70 vs. a pistol grip stock 45-70. * Are there differences in felt recoil, between the two stock styles? I'm considering the purchase of a Marlin 45-70, but I'm deciding between the 1895 Cowboy with the 26" octagon...

The hens that kept hanging around brought me a tom (jake), this morning. I never called once and give the credit to the decoys...a jake and two hens, that I've been using all season. I was set up on the edge of a freshly planted field (yesterday) with my jake and two hen decoys, at 18 yards...

This is my second year of chasing deer, in hopes of getting my first deer with a handgun. I've been hunting with handguns for over 30 years, but never gave a thought to hunting deer with one. I figured that I've killed nearly everything else with a handgun, so why not a deer. Plus, I've killed...

I've recently patterned some Dead Coyote "T" shot with a Carlson .680" that produces a very good pattern at 50 yards. However, I have not had the same success with lead buck shot sizes of 00, 000, 4 buck (in 2 3/4" & 3", 12 gauge) at the same distance. It would've been nice if I could've had...

I've been considering the purchase of another black powder long rifle. Last week I was at a local gun shop and found a Dixie Gun Works .50 cal. percussion Penn. Poor Boy. I would be using this rifle for deer and possibly groundhogs. However, I've heard of using low powder charges for...

Everyone that I've talked with that has a 44 Mag. uses a 240gr. bullet of various configurations, for whitetails. I have yet to shoot a large game animal with a handgun, but have a great deal of varmint kill experience. My bullet choices have always been light weight jacketed hollow points...

I've watched some videos of a few barrel changes and some use a barrel clamp, while others use an action wrench/clamp. Both appear to get the same job done. Barrel Vice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANK9KbXmMr4 Action Vice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPlFtskCwng Are there reason(s)...

You've heard it before..."Seconds count, when the police are only minutes away." We've often heard it as a line for a reason to have a CCW or a reason to have a weapon in the house. Well, nobody needs a reason, as it's better to have a weapon and not need it, than need one and not have it...

I'm interested in the purchase of a barrel in .25 caliber, to switch out my 22" sporter barrel on my .25-06 Stevens. I prefer a tactical or varmint weight and 24" or 26" in length. Thank you, Bowhunter57

I need a bullet puller and can't find one locally, nor did I want to wait to order one online. So, I found a video on YouTube that explained how to build one. I have $10.45 in schedule 80 parts for this one...and it works. The Parts: The foam handle plug keeps the gun powder from...

I've owned a Finnish M39 Mosin-Nagant and it shot 180gr. S&B ammo in a 1 1/4" group at 100 yards with open sights. I would imagine with a scope and some good reloads, that 1/2" groups wouldn't be out of the question. Just the same, I'd like to hear from those of you that have scoped and...

I have 2 good friends that have told me this method for finding the best reload, both of which have more experience than the average person. The "theory" is based on most rifle's efficiency or performance curve. This is how it was explained to me: According the online IMR reloading data, it...

The "package" deal that is offered with this rifle has a decent powered scope, in a 4x16x44...called a Nikko Stirling, which I know nothing about and have never heard of them. This may be one of my considerations for my next varmint rifle. http://legacysports.com/axiom-varminter-scope-package...
