    Something new from S&W...

    Anybody hear anything about a new S&W 9mm. called the CSX? Just got an email from an LGS about this new micro compact, 10/12 round magazine which has an aluminum frame instead of with the usual polymer construction. MSRP is $599.99.

    A Family Photo Op, Semi-auto pistols this time!

    With a thread idea borrowed shamelessly from member Snake Plisskin over in the Revolver Forum, how about some family photos of semi-autos instead? Leading off with some of my favorite .45s, I give you the Colt Family: Their slightly smaller .38 and .380 caliber siblings: The Big and Little...

    Just got these new grips for my birthday...

    I have been wanting a nice set of grips for my CZ P01 for some time now. The original rubber grips are fine for every day use; just wanted something a little "fancier" to go with the great looking finish of the gun. Found these on czcustom.com and when one of our kids asked me what I would like...

    It's Ruger 10/22 Day!

    According to an email I got from Ruger their proclaiming "Today is Ruger Day" due in no small part to the special connection the date has to their 10/22 rifle. So here's my vintage rifle (circa 1978), complete with it's Weaver K2.5 scope. Would love to see what my fellow THR members have in the...

    Went looking for a new pocketknife...

    Was out the other day looking for a new pocketknife for under $20. Checked out the knives at Home Depot but they had a vey limited selection and were all were too big and heavy for what I wanted. Went next to Walmart and found a much better selection of name brands at decent prices. Found one...

    Just got an email from Ruger that the Match Champion now has an adjustable rear sight. Starting to look more and more like the old Security Six. Might have to check this one out.

    Garcia/Hackman Vietnam Era Survival Knives

    DIY_guy Outstanding work along with an awesome step-by-step photo progression of the actual build. I could see having something like that for my old Garcia Survival Knife, which didn't even come with a sheath. NOTE: This side discussion is interesting enough for a thread of its own.

    Just saw a very mint looking H&R Model 686 with a 5 1/2" barrel and both cylinders. Serial number was AX140XXX. Any idea when it was made?

    Never thought I would see the day...

    While reading through The Plain Dealer today, I came across something I never thought I would see in this newspaper; a rather large (6" by 11") ad...for Henry rifles! If you've lived in Cleveland, or northeast Ohio, for any length of time you would know that The Plain Dealer is a rather...

    I dug up my little DIY cache the other day...

    About a year ago, after reading several threads on burying things ( primarily ammo), I wondered how viable it was to put together a quick cache of ammo. It took me about 30 minutes to dig a hole 3' deep, and another 30 minutes to put together my storage container. Basically I wanted to use...

    No longer an Urban Myth...

    Well here's one that's no longer an Urban Myth. Remember hearing the story about some really fancy, really expensive, custom made English shotgun that the world's dumbest criminal turned into a SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN... I just saw a picture of it in the latest issue of Small Arms Review. In an...

    Help with a Remington 597

    A couple of years ago I bought my son a Remington 597 .22LR for his birthday. I let him handle all the different models and he liked that one the best. It came with one plastic magazine and I bought four extra Remington metal body magazines. At first I thought it was just picky about the ammo...
