Those of you that carry a revolver for CCW, how many of you carry a reload? Those that do carry a reload, how, exactly, do you carry it? Loose rounds? Speed Strips or speedloader? One full reload or more? Where do you carry it? Pocket or belt? Now, here's a question that requires a bit of...

I bought a Glock 37 shortly after they came out, around 2003 for business reasons. I soon added the G-38 I shot a few rounds and found nothing wrong with the guns or cartridge. But then the AWB ban sunset in 2004 Prior to which, 10 rds in the magazine was as much as you were going to get...

We all like guns. That's why we are here. But I was wondering.... What guns mean the most to you? I realize this question can be interpreted several ways, but I'm asking - if you inherited guns from your Dad, Uncle, Brother, etc, what you prefer them more if: 1) they are pristine, NIB...

When you go to the range to practice, how do you go about it? I'm not referring to pure recreational shooting, but: repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency. So, to improve your shooting skills... 1) What drills do you run? 2) How long...

In another thread, the merits of carrying a single action revolver for CCW defense was discussed. Dismissing the reload as a concern, one big concern I had was how fast one could shoot a single action ONE HANDED accurately as opposed to firing a DA revolver one handed. I was told by a...

During this Father's Day weekend, I thought it'd be fun to post a picture of a gun you got from your Father. Here is a Belgium Browning Hi-Power I saw at a Gunstore. Told my dad about it, so off we went to buy it.

I've been struck by various people in various venues about how they don't know, or refuse to learn, how to maximize various platforms. My BIL uses his Glock 26 for nearly everything, but has owned a Beretta 92 longer. He hasn't yet mastered the DA/SA system. Actually, he hadn't even mastered...

For this scenario, a new FEDERAL law states you're allowed 6 handguns, but only one per cartridge. No duplicates. Conversion kits not allowed. Spare parts must be bought with the gun. No spare parts after that. Reloading not allowed. Serial number designated to specific cartridge. IE; a .357...

It occurred to me that the 6-shot snub guns I have or recommend for CCW are no longer being made. The current snubs aimed (ha! I kill me!) at the CCW market are 5-shooters. I didn't realize Colt DS parts were getting difficult to find and the 2" K-frame Model 12 is out of production. The...

I expect them to shoot in front of the class. I expect professionalism, courtesy, respect and competence. Professionalism- I don't want to hear the instructor tell dirty or off color jokes during the class. Courtesy- he talks to me as an equal. He uses appropriate words and phrases...

I swear I don't get it. People willfully making themselves incapable and nearly helpless. I see folks wearing pajamas and slippers to Walmart. Frequently. Men and women used to carry at least a pen knife in their pocket or purse, but not now. Is it a side effect of silly "no tolerance"...

Had an interesting PM exchange with another member here that thinks that unless you're able to perform to a certain level with a given handgun type, you're unqualified to question, debate or discuss that action type. So I'm wondering...... What do THR members think is an acceptable standard...

Torture testing came up in another thread and I had just done a search for a few at YouTube. I was amused and irritated by what I found. It's stupid to bake a Glock cake, or submerge it in a water bucket then freeze it. I find it tedious to submerge the gun in maple syrup, eggs and...

I've been watching the series "Mountain Men" and aside from some of the staged stuff, I usually find it interesting. I have noticed a few things that I'd do differently, of course, like shooting to kill a predator instead of wasting ammo "scaring" them. I don't know all their names, but the...

Found this going thru some stuff. One must be powder, the other for shot, I presume. Wrinkled texture paint on the base is black. Both are permanently attached to base. Both have baffles in them. I have two if these. One has both lids, the other does not. Wondering about brand, make, or...

I've seen this phrase repeated in several threads and I'd like to know what it means. (or what folks think it means) The phrase, of late, has been associated with police departments transitioning from revolvers to semi-autos. Implying that if cops had stayed with the revolver, no assertions of...

In another thread, a poster says he carries a DA revolver for defense, but basically only practices shooting it with one hand, cocking the hammer for each shot. Another guy said the way he used a speed loader was too cradle the open cylinder in his left hand and release the cartridges from the...

What are some of the "secrets" you snubby toters have discovered? I'm curious about carry, shooting and reloading secrets as they relate to drills, skills and equipment. Was there a key dynamic you wished you had discovered sooner?

Got this in the shop and the owner wants to place date of manufacture. All the places I've looked have SIX digit serial numbers, this gun has five. (# 788xx) Grips are hard rubber, the SN under the right grip matches the ones on the butt and barrel flat. It's a 5-screw chambered in .38...

There's a video posted at The Blaze that shows what the antis really wanted to do. I've tried twice to post the list here and it won't let me.
