    Handgun or Shotgun For HD

    I realize a shotgun is an outstanding weapon for HD, however, I like most people have kids in the house and it's just not practical "for me" to have a shotgun laying around the house. My compramise is a full size .45 ACP which follow me every where I go in the house and the kids don't even know...

    New Bersa Firestorm .22, 1st. Time Out, Oh Oh.

    Bought a new Bersa Firestorm today an fired 200 rounds of CCI mini mags. The gun has a 10 round mag. and at least 1 or 2 rounds needed a second trigger pull to fire the round. I find it hard t believe it's the ammo. ONly 1 round wouldn't fire and I checked the round and it had a typical .22...

    S&W 617, Ruger SP101, or Taurus 94 .22's For Wife

    My wife has gone shooting with me and friends several times and is recoil/blast sensitive. She wants a .22 revolver to get comfortable with before moving up to a larger caliber. She likes revolvers better and I currently have a .357 Ruger Security Six 6" barrel, .357 SP101 3" barrel and a...

    Anyone Bought A New Ruger SP101 .22 LR?

    I am thinking of ordering a new .22 LR SP101 with a 4" barrel for my wife who is recoil sensitive and am wondering if anyone has bought one and what their opinion is of the gun? I have a SP101 .357 mag. with a 3" barrel and do like it. I know .22 LR is not the best caliber for self defense...

    Browning Buckmark or Taurus 990 Revolver

    I had a Ruger MKIII and shot my buddies Sig. Mosquito many times and I found neither one was very reliable and I just got tired of trying everything, CCI ammo was the best and jamming issues were less frequent but still there. I really want a reliable .22 handgun and am considering either...

    Transporting Handguns Through NY, Not NYC?

    I may be moving from the east coast to the south, however, I am concerned about going through upper State NY. I know of a individual that had handguns properly stored in a moving van going through NYC from Florida, was pulled over and asked if he had handguns and replied yes all locked and...

    LCR Or Airweight, Got Both Poll

    I had a S&W 637 Airweight .38+P and now have a Ruger LCR .38+P. I forgot just how stiff the trigger was on the Airweight until I fired my buddies the other day. IMO the Airweight is prettier. The LCR better trigger, every thing else about equal. Your Opinions Please? Sigbear

    LCR

    Had a S&W 637 w/hammer and it was prettier. Have Ruger LCR .38+P, IMO Ruger trigger and accuracy wins. I do like my S&W 1911 though. Sigbear

    Speer Gold Dot 135gr.+P, Didn't Expand???

    I was shooting my new Ruger LCR .38 the other day and thought I would test it with speer gold dot 135 gr.+P. I shot 5 rounds into (dry) tied together phone books at about 10'. Not 1 of the gold dot's expanded, so, I'm not sure if it's the ammo or short barrel which this ammo is recommended...

    Ruger LCR .38 Promotion, $399 With Holster

    Picked up a new LCR yesterday for $399 with leather holster. The holster is nothing much but it's functional and the gun fits real snug. Ordered laser grips for it so I won't shoot it until I get it. Sigbear

    Kahr PM9, Any Good?

    My primary carry is a Walther P99c and I love the gun, awsome trigger and very accurate, however, I want a smaller 9mm than the P99c and read the specs on the Kahr PM9. The P99c is a little thick and heavy for a pocket carry but I'm thinking based on the pm9 specs it would be a better pocket...

    Which Light Weight Revolver Would You Choose Poll?

    If you were going to buy 1 lightweight .38 revolver, which one would you buy? I had a S&W model 637 with hammer that I traded for a SP101 3" brl. and never looked back, however, I am itching to buy a Ruger LCR 38+P model for a pocket gun. Sigbear

    Not A S&W Fan, Or 1911 Fan, But.

    I never cared much for S&W semi-auto's, shot many, but liked other mfg's better (Sig & Walther) until I bought a S&W 1911, SS, 5" barrel. I reluctantly traded in my Sig P220 in for it because it wasn't 100% reliable and I wanted another .45. The 1911 now has 1000+ rounds through it, and...

    S&W 1911 Fouling Issue?

    I bought a new S&W full size SS 1911 a few months ago, this is my 1st 1911 so I am not all that familiar with them. I now have 700 rounds through the gun and noticed the same thing each time shooting it. The gun is flawless for the 1st. 100 rounds or so, and then the 1st round of a full...
