    Car jackings on the rise

    My edc is a S&W 642 in a triple K IWB holster. This set up has worked well for me in the past but lately I have been thinking about putting my CZ PCR in the rotation. The rise in crime(especially car jacking) in my town has me a bit concerned and I'm thinking about using a cross draw holster...

    doing my homework before I buy

    I'm new to air guns. I'm looking for an inexpensive, quiet and accurate rifle that is simple to operate and maintain. I want to use it for pest control....mainly rabbits and ground hogs. Am I wrong in thinking a .22 will have more hit than a .177? Is a gas piston better than a spring? A pcp may...

    sellers remorse no more

    I had a Cz compact with a Kadet conversion kit some time ago and liked it quite a bit. The only real complaint was the long reach for the trigger when shot in double action. Long story short, I sold the whole package to help finance the purchase of my first Dan Wesson. I have often thought about...

    Weatherby XXII trigger question

    I recently purchased this gun but the trigger seems too heavy to me. Is there a way to lighten it up a little?

    new S&W M17-5. Optic sight.

    A while back, a young lady asked me to take her to the range and teach her how to shoot. The smallest caliber hand gun I owned was a .38 and a 9mm so that's what we shot. It didn't go well. She was recoil sensitive and was disturbed by all the noise. Both of us were frustrated at the end of the...

    ammo question: trap vs. skeet

    I'm relatively new to the clay shooting sports. I have a Citori lightning w/ 26" barrel and a Browning XT w/ 32" barrel. I went to the range this morning but the trap fields were closed. I went over to the skeet field just to watch and learn. I was welcomed as a newbie and the guys there gave...

    Fitting a new trap gun. What do i need to know?

    I bought a used Perazzi TM1 several months ago and as much as I have tried to like it, I just don't. It just doesn't feel right and I find myself moving the gun all over the place trying to find the sweet spot. What should I be looking for as far as length of pull, cheek weld, etc. In short...

    handguns selling like hotcakes in my area

    Is there something going on politically that I'm not aware of? My lgs/range is selling 300 handguns a month. I'm sure Cabelas is doing more than that but for a relatively small shop, these amounts are unprecidented. I like to shoot early in the morning and usually show up at the range as they...

    Cz Compact w/ Kadet conversion. What's it worth?

    With the holidays coming upon us and not a lot of cash available, I'm thinking of selling my CZ compact (with cocobolo grips) and the Kadet conversion as a package. Both are in excellent condition and well maintained. A guy at work is interested in it but I don't know what to ask for it. Can...

    Bought a used Perazzi...questions about fit

    After 50 yrs away from shotguns, I bought a Citori lightning and started shooting table trap. I enjoy it immensely but need another person to pull for me which is not always easy to do. The solution to the problem was to buy a used Perazzi TM1 so that I can move up to the legitimate trap field...

    Which trap gun for me?

    Let me start out by saying I'm a novice to the shotgun world. I've been using a Browning Citori for shooting 'table trap' at my local gun club and I've been doing reasonably well with it. I want to start shooting regular trap and am in the market for a gun set up for that purpose. I like the O/U...

    686 in .38 only(not .357). Ever heard of it?

    My brother puchased a S&W 686 in .38 only. It has an extra chamber in the cylinder and is rated for +P ammo. My immediate response was, "are you sure about that". I had never heard of this gun until he told me about it. He said it is a rare breed. He's an experienced shooter and I guess I...

    new(to me)Browning Citori

    First, let me state that I don't know a lot about shotguns. When I was a kid, my dad and I had great fun shooting hand thrown clays. Lately, I've had the urge to get back into trap shooting and have been looking for the right gun. I went to the range a few weeks ago and looked at a Browning o/u...

    Want to get back into shooting clays

    First, let me say that as far as shotguns are concerned, I am so green that I should be watered twice a week. My first gun was a Mossy bolt action in 16ga. As a kid, My dad and I would often spend a saturday shooting hand thrown clays. I really enjoyed it and would like to re-explore that as an...

    Are cz firearms undersprung?

    I was reading a thread on another forum and a statement was made with regard to CZ's being under sprung from the factory. The poster stated this was particularly true about the recoil spring. He said he installed a more powerful spring which helped to reduce recoil. I'm not sure this is true and...

    Falling out of love - cz compact

    I've had a CZ compact for the past five years and at one point it was the gun I took to the range most often. I even bought a Kadet conversion kit for cheap practice. I carried it cocked and locked for most of the five years of ownership. It has great ergonomics, is reliable as I could ask for...

    new gun, in need of 7 round mag

    I am lucky enough to have come across a new Dan Wesson CCO. The stocks are a little thin in my hand and the tang on the mag sticks out just far enough to rub the skin off my little finger after firing 100 rounds the first time out. I'm planning on changing out the grips to something a little...

    how do I remove an idiot mark?

    I have a stainless DW pointman that I put an idiot mark on. This happened some time ago and it really ticked me off when it happened. In my denial, I chalked it up to "character" but I still get angry at myself every time I see it. How can I erase the mark without further damaging it?

    new to me Colt detective special

    Came upon this the other day and couldn't pass it up for the $300 asking price. Call it an impulse buy. When I saw the stocks, the name Ferrat came to mind but when I got it home and opened it up I saw, "made in India"...bummer. I don't know that I'll shoot it that much but it's a 'nice to have'...

    how do you clean a nickel finish?

    Came across a Colt Detective Special this morning. It has a nickel finish and a set of highly carved finger grooved stocks on it (dare I hope they are from Ferrat?). I have never owned anything with a nickel finish and don't know what precautions need to be taken to protect it. Can I use the...
