    Smallest grips for a K-Frame?

    I have a 2.25" Smith 66 that has the large, 3 finger Uncle Mikes rubber grips on it. These grips are comfy but with the short barrel they look kind of odd and they wouldn't lend themselves to carrying this thing well. I like the pack this gun in the woods and sometimes in the winter time as...

    22/410 combo guns?

    I know Springfield used to make the M6 "Survival" gun. I'm looking for something similar to that. This will be a hiking/small game gun, needs to be lightweight. Single shot is fine. Does anybody else make something like this?

    Durability of Ruger's blued finish?

    I have never owned a 'blued' handgun before. Plenty of my long guns are, but for the most part I've had stainless or alloy revolvers, and my semi auto pistols have been treated with tennifer or something similar. I have found a killer deal on a 4" GP100 locally, but it's blued. This gun is...

    Rimfire accuracy...bolt vs. semi

    I know for the most part a semi gun of the same quality as a bolt gun will be less accurate. A lot of this is shooter skill as well, but it's pretty much accepted that the bolt guns are more accurate. I want to buy a fun rimfire rifle and set it up as a target gun and maybe even some varmint...

    Berry's Plated 30-30 Win bullets?

    Anybody used these? http://www.berrysmfg.com/386.php Good pricing, but the low velocity of 1700fps is interesting. Another user also mentioned that Berry's doesn't recommend a firm case crimp, yet 30-30 usually requires a good crimp. Any input?

    General purpose rifle powder?

    Okay folks, I appreciate the help so far with my reloading questions. I've been set up and reloading for 38spl and 9mm for a while now. I am getting into reloading for my rifles now, and would like to purchase a 8lb jug of powder. The rifle calibers I plan to reload are 223rem and 30-30...

    My new clays gun...DeHaan U5E!

    I finally dropped the hammer on a nice over/under. Been shooting a Spartan 310 for a while. I really like the Spartan for a budget O/U and it has been nothing but dead on reliable. However, I had some extra money to play with and this beauty came up for sale on SGW. DeHaan is a custom...

    First 1911 - Rock Island or Taurus?

    Heard good and bad about both of these guns. Have shot one example from each and both shot well. The base RIA is cheaper, but I do like the features that Taurus offers. Most reviews are positive for each gun, and it seems Taurus has better customer service should something go wrong...

    I'm jumping into 30-30...

    A levergun is going to be my next purchase. A Marlin 336 more than likely. Looking for recipes, tips, tricks and pricing for a good 30-30 load. A few things to consider: - I'm a fan of Hodgon and it is available locally - Will be mainly used as a plinker - I'm not opposed to lead or lead...

    Teach me about leverguns...

    For some reason, I feel the sudden urge to own a lever action rifle. Seems like a nice light rifle for hunting, backpacking, or even just plinking at the range. 30-30 seems to be the most popular caliber here, and it has certainly withstood the test of time. It appears a Marlin can be...

    Differences in the different Sig models?

    Looking at venturing into the Sig world...but I'm confused as to what the different model numbers mean. I'm looking for a 9mm around the size of a Glock 19. Needs to be able to fire in single action. Which one do I want?

    Thinking about building a varmint gun...

    Looking for some insight/advice, here's the story: I recently purchased my first AR15. It's a 16" A3 Bushmaster and it shoots extremely well. This will be replacing my AK47 for 3 gun competitions. I want to build a long range target/varmint gun. Punch some paper with it and maybe go...

    Ruger Mini 30 Newbie

    I currently shoot a Romanian AK for plinking as well as 3 gun matches. The Ruger Mini 30 looks like a fun rifle, I'm wondering what you guys think of making the switch? I like the 7.62 round and this would be a hard use rifle just as an AK or AR is. I'd like the option to have a nice wood...

    Help put a value on this Model 10

    I'm thinking about trading a gun for this Model 10. I plan to make this my main range gun as I reload 38spl very inexpensively. What do you guys think would be a fair used price on this gun? The owner says it is in great shape with no signs of rust. Comes with everything pictured:

    The absolute best pocket holster for 642?

    I have a Desantis Nemesis already and the extra "tab" on the holster makes the entire gun look like a brick in my pocket. I want something soft enough to mold around my leg but just stiff enough to break up the outline of the gun. Is it the $10 Uncle Mikes pocket holster or is there one...

    3" Stainless revolver - SP101 or S&W 60?

    Wasn't really in the market for something like this until I saw a very nice Model 60 at a gun shop and it got me thinking. I'm able to reload 38spl dirt cheap so this would be my main plinking gun. I like the J Frame size (I would put full size grips on it) because I have a 642 for carry. I...

    Shotshell and choke questions

    Hey fella's, I have three quick questions for ya. I tried searching and didn't find any concrete answers. 1. What is the difference between game loads and target loads? My range only allows target loads. If I'm finding the same shot size, shell size, and dram what else could be different...

    Home security systems that don't require a monthly fee?

    Just looking for some information home security systems, I've already done some poking around on Brinks and ADT's websites. Does anybody offer a unit that you simply can install and link to window and door sensors? Basically the same as a Brinks/ADT system but without the company monitoring...

    Bedside shotgun, chambered?

    How do you guys keep your bedside shotguns stored? I have a HD 500 Pump from Mossberg, it's the one w/ 18" barrel and 7 shot magazine. Currently, I've been leaving 7 rounds in the magazine, safety off. I would have to rack it once if (god forbid) I need it. There are multiple options here, I'm...

    Mossberg 500 Barrel questions

    I picked up a 500 persuader today, with the short barrel and extended tube mag for home defense. I wanted to put a 28" barrel on it to shoot some clays with, but I'm afraid now that the barrel mount on a longer barrel will be set up for a standard size magazine tube. I didn't think about this...
