    We are going from living in the woods, where I could use any ammo for my home defense guns to an apt with close neighbors and thin walls. What ammo should I choose?

    Not Happy...S&W 642

    I was shopping at a gun shop years ago. Apparently I was in stealth mode, the guy behind the counter thought he was alone. He proceded to take out various revolvers and play with them, flicking the cylinder closed and doing the cowboy twirl, dropping a few in the process. I never bought a gun...

    Breakfast at Perkins: Revolver Down!

    That sucks.The closest I came was just recently actually...I pocket carry a 642 w/ holster. In our church parking lot a few weeks ago, while getting out of the car, it "popped" out and hit the ground. Luckily I was early and no one was around to see it. I've rediscovered the old habit of getting...

    Ruger Sp101 and LCR?

    I carried an SP for years. Great gun, but a bit heavy. I switched to an airweight and went to pocket carry and never looked back. Do I take it to the range for a 3 hours session..no, but it is real easy to carry all the time when it's so light and fits in a pocket. What I did like about the sp...

    ok, I'm only going on MY experience: had a pt 99..100% reliable, you could shoot rocks in the thing. Had an actual Browning Hi-power..it was a DOG...only fed FMJ and bit my hand every shot.

    Post some of the funny stuff you've heard on the range.

    "I shoot a .45 because if you even hit a guy in the pinky he'll spin around in circles and fall down." "I shoot a .380....it's the BEST defensive round out there, if you have a cracked-up junkie coming at you, you want a .380."-said by a guy working at a gun shop..must have had a lot of .380's...

    I also have arthritis.I find grips make all the difference....when I carry my bulldog .44 spl. I have little combat grips, but if I am going to the range for an extended sesion, I switch to big hand filling grips.Always practice w/ your carry grips too, but don't over do it.
