    Bond Arms Snake Slayer 45 Colt / 3" 410 4¼" barrel

    Can't just walk into a gun shop and browse like a normal person, this belonged to the manager and he wore he it in the shop. He needed the money for a new project and I've been looking for a big hole poker at short range. People wonder what good is a 2 shot derringer but for up close and...

    The right choice after so many trials & errors

    For me, it's the Glock 48. I was a Glock hater when they came out but still bought (and sold) a few, the 17 was too big, the 19 too fat and unwieldy, the 17X was too weird. Read about the 43X, was about to buy it when by miracle either I saw it or the owner showed it to me, the G48. I was amazed...

    Grateful

    Not sure where to post this; I'm grateful for: The Constitution. My current President. Being a boomer (tail end) and knowing what freedom is. Being a boomer and having my dad (RIP) teach me to shoot my first rifle (Daisy CO2) and pistol (Colt 32acp) in the backyard of his Phoenix home. Being...

    Happiness is a warm gun

    Or 6 dogs curled up next to me with 2 warm guns. These are my "Oh Sh*t" guns, dogs are just here to wake me up (which they do a good job of).

    Need THR input

    Greetings, Been a THR member since 2002 IIRC, have gained valuable information over the years in our world of shooting, reloads, self defense etc. Due to health reasons, I've decided to thin the herd. Over the years I've seen family members get skinned by Estate Buyers who pay a fraction of...

    police lightbar, with multiple red and blue lights

    https://www.abqjournal.com/1304708/fbi-search-nets-fugitive-ndash-and-so-much-more.html?amp=1 Part of a previous discussion, modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Lesson: just because it's flashing police lights don't mean it's the police. For safety sake, if driving at night and confronted with...

    When you have no plan

    I was watching the Cheshire Murders on YouTube after one of our members here recommended it on another thread (I can't remember who it was but thank you). He highly recommended it and was right, it is a well done documentary. Many thoughts went through my head as I watched it but the main one...

    Other popular forums?

    I would like to join just one S&W forum and just one Ruger Forum. I want the best with the most members. I don't have the patience to sort it out myself and would prefer word-of-mouth experience from members here (been here since the original THR 2002). Many thanks.

    Albuquerque NM

    I have in made a friend or two from THR and would like to know if there are people's who would like to get together for social reasons, perhaps even form a cohesive group that would help set gun laws at the Roundhouse. I know of one Irish pub that has half off on Wednesday in RR. Would be great...

    Winchester Ammunition Customer Service

    Plug for Winchester Ammunition. Gal named Kristin Tate at Marketing and CS took great care of me when I found that a batch of .38 Special was all corroded. They offered to replace or refund the ammo (took the replacement instead). Some American companies still value their customers, my...

    VINTAGE LEE LOADER for 38 SPECIAL and 357

    What is the difference between the Lee Vintage Loader (1969) and the Lee Classic Loader (found at Midway)? Given the choice, which would you buy and why? I tend to view certain older mechanical instruments as better due to the mentality back then of making quality vs making quantity. I would...

    Living with a gunshot wound

    I stumbled upon this video on youtube and thought twice before deciding to post this. Some guy was having his 30-06 wound cleaned out, seems he shot himself by mistake after tripping over the cat. I am posting this for cautionary purposes only e.g. don't walk around the house with a loaded...

    SP101 vs S&W 640

    I am seriously considering trading my 642. I am trying to decide between the above two. Would appreciate comments especially from those that own both.

    642 strength

    Has anyone already put thousands of rounds through their 642? If so, is your 642 still as tight as it was? I own one and aside from a very painful 50 rounds prefer to carry than shoot this gun. I keep hearing that the 642 is a carry gun, the SP101 is a shooting gun. Is this true? Given that the...

    Albuquerque Area Meet & Greet

    I was thinking of getting a fun day to shoot, meet and greet somewhere down the line, maybe sometime in September or October when the weather cools off a bit. I don't mind keeping track of things but help and input from other LOE residents would be appreciated. I have already met a few Land of...

    The Gauntlet

    Could never figure what Clint used in that movie, was it a 624 or a short barreled 29?

    Two 642's

    Sometimes I get to thinking of different scenerios where 5 shots are just not enough, mainly the thought that many criminals today only commit their crimes when in gangs. Suppose one was attacked by three, four, even five perps at once, either driving or walking to the store. Seems that just...
