I heard someone say today that the S&W Eastfield Arms 916 was "unacceptable" as a self defense shotgun. I've shot those; they seemed okay to me, as good as a Mossberg 500. Does anyone have bad experience with this gun? My personal preference is for the Winchester 97 and the Browning A5...

'Guns in the hands of good people' A testament to Second Amendment rights BRIAN FENTIMAN York Daily Record June 28, 2008, was a defining moment in my life. It was the day I shot and killed a man in the defense of my life and the lives of others. We all have defining moments. They might...

Well, I thought I was all gunned out, but went to the gun store the other day and picked up a Python and a S&W M24-3. I would say that should about do it. Until the next time...

Which of these is your favorite? American - 1903 English - SMLE Russian - Mosin Nagant German - Mauser Japan - Arisaka Italy - Carcano Other - what is it? (I don't think anyone will pick the Lebel) Did I leave anything out?

Most autoloaders eject to the right. This doesn't make any sense to me. If pistols ejected to the left, then clearing a FTF malfunction (tap and rack) would be more positive. I seen so many people induce their own stovepipe or double feed by turning the gun sideways with their right hand and...

I'm getting light hits on my 60s vintage M34. Changed the mainspring. Still occasionally misfiring with all types of ammo. Anyone got a suggestion?

Our local gunstore got in a crate of Mosin Nagant 44 carbines and are selling them for $129. I remember back in 1973, Target Stores were selling K98 Mausers for $49. I wish I had bought some since they are going for 10 times that now. Is this MN a good deal? I've heard that the carbine...

At the gunstore I work at sometimes, we had a "Colt Commanding Officer's Model." It is a series 80 full size frame with a Officers ACP slide more or less. It's actually slightly longer than the Officer's ACP but shorter than a Commander. I have heard that only a few were manufactured and...

I have an antique Marlin 1893 in 30-30 whose serial number indicates it was built in 1899. But, the barrel says "Smokeless Powder" and according to the literature I have read, that marking wasn't put on the rifles until 1904. It says "Model 1893" instead of "Model '93" so that would indicate...

For the over 50 crowd, what are good ways to equalize the deteriorating effect aging has on your shooting ability? Maladies include diminishing eyesight, slower eflexes, weakening grip strenght. I find that larger target sights help somewhat for the eyesight problem which is what bothers me...

Talking about movie errors, what about this. I was watching "Firefly" last night (what a great show!) the episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds." They are about to fly into the net and they decide Jayne should get suited up with "Vera" and shoot from outside the ship. Jayne says "But it needs oxygen to...

This is a great editorial. I apologize if everyone here has seen it before I did. Why The Gun In Civilization? By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a...

Does any body have one of these? How do you like it? Will it function with lead bullets such as Winchester Wildcat or only the copper washed stuff like CCI MiniMag? Found a couple of them, one Belgian, one Jap. Always liked the look of them. Nice slim handy gun.

In my employment, I have the opportunity to produce Power Point Programs for firearms training (among other things). I might need pictures of firearms that I myself do not possess so I search using Google Images. Occasionally, it brings me here to THR. Is it legal for me to use images I find...

Well, since everybody else is doing it, and now since Oleg gave his permission, I too have written a book. Outlaw Torn is a historical novel set in the South right after the Civil War. Lots of gun stuff and actual history in it. It was released by PublishAmerica in 2003. Just go to the link...

Here's the dilemma. We have two trashed Colts that were given to us to be used as training/Simunition guns. 1. Colt Detective Special. Someone has slugged the cylinder so that it can't chamber any rounds. 2. Colt Diamondback. Broken lockwork. We have more of a need for concealable...
