    Gun for full-time RVing.

    I am a military retiree and now three years from a civilian law enforcement retirement. Plans are for the wife and I to full-time RV for a while after this career. I know I'm covered with LEOSA for my handgun(s), but in order to avoid state and local conflicts with assault weapons (rifles) I...

    basket weave duty holster

    I carry as a duty gun, an FNX-40. There are not many commercial manufacturers making quality, purpose-built LE duty holsters for this sidearm. Who can make me one?

    Opinion on survival-coyote gun and caliber

    I've been interested in a packable-varmint-survival rifle for a long time now. I'd like it to take dog-coyote at around 100 yds, jackrabbits closer. It needs to be packed into ATV luggage successfully and safely. I carry at least one handgun on my desert atv trips already (.410 derringer, 9mm...

    G-23 project

    I got a police trade-in G-23 for a great price (I'd buy a Hi-Point for the right price). Thinking about making it a project gun. I have no experience at all with Glocks. Where's a good place to start? I'd like to keep it duty capable, so the 3.5# connector is out for my agency. Glock-like DAO...

    Is it wrong,

    to take a nickel-plated model 36 and send it off for duracoating or ceracoating to a purple finish for my wife? Please, give me an argument against it!:banghead: She got her CCW and I gave her the J-frame. Now that its hers, she wants it PURPLE!

    What gives with Ruger?

    I've been searching high and low for a LCR .38, and haven't found one for a decent price yet. I just need a base model. No laser, standard Hogue tamer grip. They're just not to be found. I've found advertisements for them at $389 with $20 shipping, but they're always out of stock:fire:. The...

    Snub .357 effectiveness

    Okay, the ballistic charts I've seen show results from 4 and greater inch long barrels. My question is this: How effective is the .357 Mag from a 1 7/8" barrel? Much moreso than a .38 +P Gold Dot for short barrel? The area allowed for complete powder combustion of the .357 charge is...

    MSNBC reporting rifle NOT used at Sandy hook

    I woke up this morning and got on the ole' computer to read my facebook page, and thegunwire posted a story by MSNBC that four handguns were found with Lanza and the rifle was found in the car. If this is true, (and I don't have the time to confirm this) he killed 26 with four pistols. No...

    AWB Lunacy

    What makes an “assault” weapon? A bayonet lug; how many mass bayonetings can you think of? Grenade launcher: Even if I had one, where do I get ammo for it? A barrel shroud: Even the legislators behind the bans do not know what they’re for. A Pistol grip: I find it easier to shoot from...

    Tyler T-grips

    I ordered a chromed T-grip for my nickel SW M-36. Who has ordered one lately, and how long does it take? Not that I'm impatient; just excited.

    .22 question

    I've owned several .22 lr over the years. Picked up Davis derringer .22 mag a while ago and the top barrel wont fire. Exam of the firing pin reveals it is quite round. It seems to hit the rim firmly, but wont ignite the round. I can see a slight marring where the pin hits the rim. Could the...

    plinking on the mud flats

    Took my daughter, her boyfriend, and my son out today; along with two single-shot .22 rifles ( Savage 72 and Winchester 67), a 9mm XD, Mossy 500, an AR, my .243, a pair of Derringers and even a compound bow! Had the most fun with the .22s! Missed the NASCAR race, but gained lifelong memories.

    Compact Coyote rifle?

    I'm not much of a rifle guy. I was a number of years ago but got into handguns big time. I do own a German Voere .243 Win with a nice Lisenfeld scope, but the rifle is just too much to take on desert ATV-based coyote hunts. What rifle would be a good one to transport on an ATV while going...

    Dust off your crystal balls

    what does everyone think the next big breakthnrough in handgun design could be? I'm not talking about known designs becoming produced in know calibers. Real breakthroughs like space-age aircraft compsite materials in frames which could be ever lighter than polymer or aluminum. Increased use...

    Help in northern Utah?

    Does anyone know, Salt Lake City and north, of a shop that has a Bond Arms Century 2000 or Snakeslayer 45LC/410 derringer on the shelf? Century 2000 preferred. My tax money is burning a hole in my pocket.

    Fnp/x/s

    I know I could get this answered at the FN Forum, but I don't want to register for just one question. I've fired the FNP 40, but found the trigger guard rubbed my trigger finger during the firing process. With the advent of the FNX and FNS has the geometry of the trigger guard changed at all?

    Derringer owners? Davis compatabiltiy with Cobra

    I recently got a .38 Cobra derringer as part of a trade. Swapped it for a Davis .22 mag. I think the 22 mag fits my need for a little gun a little better. The davis is of better quality I see, than the Cobra. Didn't Cobra buy out Davis? Will my Davis accept Cobra .22 rimfire barrels? I'd like...
