Hello, Can someone recommend a reputable gun shop/range in the Allentown, PA area for a lady who is unfamiliar with firearms but needs to purchase one for self defense? Would like one that will take the time to explain gun safety and proper handling and even perhaps allow her to try...

I know this has been covered before, but most posts are pre-2006 so I wanted to get updated information. I have PA CC and would like to obtain Ohio. It would appear that the best route is Florida (which appears to grant non-resident permits and enjoys reciprocity with Ohio). Anyone try this...

Any recommendation for spare parts to keep on hand for a KelTec P3AT? I'm thinking recoil springs as they seem to take a nasty beating from the 380 rounds (empties landed about 10 feet straight behind me).

Gander Mountain has a decent sale on .22 ammo and I'm hoping someone can recommend the most reliable for a marlin Model 60. Options are as follows: $1.95 ( Compare at $2.29) thru Aug 8 Federal® Lightning™, Peters® solid tip, Winchester® Wildcat .22LR lead round nose, or Remington®...

I posted a similar thread in handguns for my M&P. Any suggestions for spare parts for a Model 60? I'd like to have a few pieces on hand to quickly bring things back to working order in the event of a breakage. Thoughts on brand and/or company to order from?

Any suggestions for a "spare parts kit" for a M&P 9mm? I'd like to have enough on hand that I could quickly bring it back online in the event of a failure. What is most likely to fail and where would you buy that part?

Have a question regarding whether 22LR is enough for varmint (groundhog, etc). Since it is one of the few affordable calibers left, I would really like to rely on it for target and some varmint hunting but I've been told I really need a bigger caliber. Thoughts? Does 22LR necessitate a head...

OK, so I didn't read the URL. Thread is old. Sorry.

I'm looking for an inexpensive scope to put on a new Marlin Model 60. Plan to use for groundhogs and general plinking. Some requirements/wishes: 1) relatively inexpensive (I'd like to stay around $50; $100 max) 2) variable power (3-9) 3) Made in USA, or at least Japan (basically...

Just a quick range report. Finally got to shoot my M&P 9mm this morning. I put about 100 rounds through the M&P with no FTF or FTE (thanks to a friend who kindly brought more ammo with us). I’ve read several accounts from folks who had one or the other during the first cycle of a brand new...

Anyone have experience with the Taurus pump and lever action rifles (Model 62 and 63)? I think they look like great plinking rifles for my sons.

Realized yesterday that two Bianchi speedstrips (.38/.357) fit PERFECTLY into an empty Altoid mint box (metal), noses toward the middle for both strips. Might be how I keep them straight in my pocket from now on. And they don't look very "menacing" if I have to empty my pocket for some reason.

Sign her up for a formal class. My wife comes from a hunting family, but she still "doesn't like guns" and I had a heck of a time with all aspects of gun ownership (justifying having them, making purchases, safety with the kids, etc, etc). Nothing worked until I scheduled a "date" with a...

Hello, I have a S&W Model 60 (2 1/8" barrel) and I'd like to begin carrying it regularly. It has a hammer, by the way. I have carried it "in pocket" before and that worked reasonably well, but I have also heard that IWB works well for this (at about 1 o'clock for a right-hand draw). I'm...

Anyone have trouble feeding JHPs through a S&W M&P 9mm? Recommend any brand in particular (I picked up 50 rounds of Hornady 115 GR HP to be used for self-defense). I didn't want to spend $300 to check a few box-fulls to test it myself. I planned to run a box through and if all was well...

Do any of you carry while you are in the house? I have started to keep a Kimber GuardianAngel (pepper spray) either with me or near me, especially if I take the dog out or something. I've seen skunks and large dogs in my front yard, so it isn't just about human "nasties" either. Note...

Hello, Just purchased a S&W M&P 9mm with 17 round Mags. I called S&W to ask them if the magazines were interchangeable with the 9mm compact version of the pistol (like the Glock 19 and 26 can). The official response was "they are the same dimensions so they will fit, but because they are...
