    Heritage Rancher: Use my other HRR's WMR cylinder?

    User GooseGestapo asked this in the wrong forum, and the question wasn't clear, so the thread was closed. But, it got me to thinking, and I am kind of intrigued by the HRR Rancher model, which only comes with a .22LR cylinder. I have two other HRR revolvers, both of which came with .22WMR...

    Ruger LCP-MAX, Range Report..

    Got my MAX to the range today. I had ordered a twelve-round magazine from a gunbroker seller (shopruger.com was out of stock) and it came in last week. So, both magazines, the gun, and three boxes of ammunition came with me. It's said that the gun handles more easily and is less snappy than...

    Ruger LCP MAX .380, my out-of-box impression.

    I bought one last night. Actually went to Bass Pro to see if they still had the .22LR LCP-II I had seen there previously (they did not.) My OOB impression is that this is a very handsome and solid-feeling pistol that will likely fit anywhere an LCP-II will. They let me handle it alongside a...

    What is this little pistol?

    Anyone recognize the gun in this ad? It looks like it might be a neat little pocket shooter. I remember reading of a line of pocket .22s that bore different girls' names, perhaps the names of its creator's daughters. Is this one of them?

    Scored a LWS-32 Seecamp...

    Stopped by the pawn shop I frequent and they actually had a .32 Seecamp in the case. I've actually never seen one personally that I can recall, but have been curious for a few years now (maybe more.) The story I got on this one was that it was sold earlier this week after a recent trade-in, and...

    Didn't check out my "new" Jetfire .25 very well..

    I've had kind of a thing for the .25ACP round, and the guns chambered for it, for about four years now, and have a few of them. One I had been looking for (to compliment my 21A Beretta Bobcat in .22LR) is the Beretta Jetfire, but I never seem to come across them priced under $300, and I know I...

    Anyone carrying Dad's gun today? (Father's Day)

    I am. I have his Charter Arms Undercover, made in 1966 (same year I was born) on my hip today. He and I weren't close when I was young, though I did live with him a season or two when I was eleven. But, we did re-connect about 10-12 years or so before his death, which was in 2010. This gun and...

    Mauser M2 pistol in .45ACP..

    Found one of these in the LGS yesterday. It seems I had heard of the relationship between SiG-Sauer and Mauser, but didn't really know much, and I don't think I'd heard of this pistol line. I ended up taking this kinda-oddity home with me, with its box and both magazines, but missing its papers...

    My stepfather, and my first gun (Winchester M190)

    Though neither of my mother's first two husbands had been kept around long enough to have much of an impact on my life, her third lasted the longest. They began seeing each other probably when I was around thirteen years old, and finally married when I was seventeen. Frank had two rifles kept...

    Huuuge giggle factor: Umarex Legends MP40

    I arranged for Santa to leave one of these under my Christmas tree, and he followed through. I had previously handled one at a Bass Pro store in another county north of me and was very impressed with its appearance, feel, and heft. Christmas dinner was at my cousin's house, well south of me, on...

    Unarmed, and proud to announce it..?

    I was walking home from a shop at which I'd just dropped off a vehicle for service, and passes a house that had a large SUV (Chevy or GMC Suburban) in its driveway. The Florida personalized plate on it read "UN-ARMED." Now, I certainly understand anyone's decision to go unarmed, and don't judge...

    Budget coach gun... JW2000?

    I only recently heard of this gun (in another thread here on speed-reloading a break-open single) and my curiosity is up. A few years ago, I was really jonesing for a coach-style double, and was checking out the Stoegers in the local shop. For what I thought I'd use it for (pretty much nothing...

    Cool .22 score..

    Stopped by the local gun "showroom" the other day, just to sort of poke around, even though it's been kind of slow there lately. I actually found it to be unusually busy, and with quite a bit more in the used-gun cases than they have had. Among other things, three guns, all rimfires, caught my...

    Five guns to the range, no shots fired, seven guns home..

    Loaded up my bag with five handguns, including one a friend inherited and asked me to check out and fire, and headed off to the range the other day. This range is part of a local gun shop I prefer to call more of a "showroom" due to its size and environment (the one made noteworthy last year by...

    Marlin 336W for "knock-around" rifle..?

    Been eyeing these at Wal-Mart lately, and they had been running at around $387 for quite a while. Now, I see they've dropped it to $345. I've been hankering for a few things lately, a centerfire lever gun, a long "truck gun", and an easily-handled, multi-purpose carbine. I figure something like...

    BB pistols: I've been missing out!

    Way back in 1984, at 18 years old, I bought a cheap Marksman 1010 BB pistol, thinking I could get sort of a "head start" on gun handling, as I was intending on becoming a LEO (and eventually did.) It was horribly inaccurate, but I had had no prior experience with any other air gun or firearm to...

    Carrying Dad's gun, in memoriam..

    December 19th marks the six anniversary of the day on which my father was found deceased in his isolated home, high in the New Mexico desert. He likely had passed a day before. I had been trying to reach him for two days, as had a neighbor of his (who lived about three miles away) That neighbor...

    Taurus 85, 3-inch, in stainless.. who's got one?

    So I go down to the pawn shop yesterday after seeing a Single-Six on ther web site for $200. I figure there's something wrong with it since, around here, they go for closer to twice that (and "three-screw" versions even more.) It didn't look too bad, with some noticeable bluing wear likely due...

    M&P15 Sport, supplied magazine not staying in..

    I bought my M&P15 Sport last summer, but have not yet shot it. Handled it quite a bit to become familiar with it, but just have not yet gotten to an outdoor range (40 miles or so to nearest) to try it out, and don't wish to at an indoor pistol one. Took it out today to handle it some, and...

    Pizza driver kidnapped and taken for an adventure..

    This happened in the county in which I work. I also work one night each week in pizza delivery, but not in that county. Driver is accosted arriving at a "set-up" address, and forced into his own trunk. The vehicle is later used to crash through the front of a gun store (with the driver...
