    Getting started, what equipment do I need?

    Since ammo shortages are probably the new normal, I've decided to start loading my own. I will primarily be loading .38 special, and to a lesser extant, .32 S&W short/long. I have ordered the Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Kit. The kit includes the following: Lee Breech Lock...

    Anyone have one of these "Comanche" pistols?

    http://www.comanchepistols.com/ They are sort of an odd duck. Break action single shot with a 10 inch barrel, mounted on an old single action-style frame. Chambered in 410/.45lc, they also have .22 magnum versions floating around. Made in Argentina and imported by Eagle imports, the same...

    Airguns to get us through the shortages?

    Was thinking of getting an air rifle to weather the current shortages. Can only imagine how long this panic buying will go on for. I cannot find .22lr on the shelves anywhere. Air rifle would be a low cost way to get your plinking/target shooting fix. And some states allow air rifles for...

    Softest shooting 9mm?

    Size and weight not a concern because this will not be a carry gun. Want a 9mm for home defense that my usually recoil-shy wife can also use. Any suggestions? So far considering the Ruger p95, cz75, and 1911 in 9mm, but open to others.

    Single Six vs. SP101 .22lr

    Would like to get one of these for plinking, general range fun, and maybe close up small game hunting. I like the double action option of the sp101 and the 8 shot capacity. Love the looks and style of the single six, but don't really think ill ever have a use for the .22 mag cylinder that...

    Ruger LCR .38 recoil

    Recently got an LCR in .22lr for the wife to use as a home defense gun. She was very gun shy and had very little firearms experience. Well I am happy to say that she is loving the LCR...her confidence is growing and she is getting pretty darn good with it. I am hoping that perhaps by the...

    Just how bad is the Ruger Mark III to field strip??

    ALWAYS wanted a Mark III, ever since i starting shooting. But always chicken out when I'm ready to buy one because of its legendary reputation for being such a PITA to take down and reassemble. Do most people exaggerate, or is it really that much of a hassle? It's hard to tell from the...

    Why is the .22 mag so darn loud?

    Maybe its just me...but I find the .22 mag to be extremely loud and the blast rather uncomfortable to be around at indoor ranges. Why does this relitively tiny round have such a wicked report out of most pistols??

    Ruger P95 useable for small hands?

    I've heard nothing but good things about the Ruger P95. I'm very tempted to pick one up because of the positive reviews and the low price. But the problem is I have smallish hands (for a guy) and Ive read that the p95 is a rather large framed gun with a somewhat long reach to the trigger. I...

    Single Six/Blackhawk frame sizes

    Just out of curiosity...do the Ruger Single Six and the Blackhawk share the same size grip frame and grip size? Or is the blackhawk larger??

    Surplus CZ-82 vs. Brand new Bersa Thunder .380

    Both are around the same price range, with the CZ coming in slightly cheaper. I want a compact gun for backpacking trips or day hiking. Perhaps to concealed carry on occasion as well. I'm in the northeast so i don't need a bear gun or anything. The Bersa would have a factory warranty, and...

    Why so much disdain for the .25 acp?

    I'm not trying to stir up trouble, just wanted to have a discussion about this. My wife and I were recently shopping around looking at small handguns at local gun shops. She is tiny with small hands, and has little to no firearms experience other than the times I have brought her shooting with...

    H&R model 732

    Was looking at an h&r model 732 in .32 s&w long, with 2.5 inch barrel manufactured in the 80's. I know nothing about these little guns but i like them for some reason. I have owned h&r shotguns and rifles and they are good workhorse guns, were the revolvers equally reliable? The gun is in...

    Aguila mini shells...inconsistent, or just bad luck?

    I bought a couple boxes of the 12 gauge mini shell buckshot. It's a mix of #4 and #1 buck. But anyways, they are extremely fun to shoot out of my coach gun but I've noticed they are somewhat inconsistent. After shooting a box full, I noticed that most go off with a loud BANG (as expected)...

    Cobra derringers (almost afraid to ask)

    I hope i don't get flamed into oblivion for asking this, lol. Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Cobra (formally Davis) derringers? Not expecting an heirloom piece of course , but would they be suitable as a tackle box gun, or snake gun, etc.? Something stashed away and kept...

    Which barrel length Single Six?

    Always a wanted a single six, thinking of getting myself one as an early Christmas gift. But don't know which barrel length to get. It needs to be a compromise...I want to be able to open carry it in a holster somewhat comfortably during camping or backpacking trips. But I would like to still...

    Wife's gun-- Bersa Thunder .22 vs. Beretta 21A .25 acp

    Hi folks, Need to make a decision between these two. It will be serving as my wife's bedside gun. I have a 12 gauge coach gun under my side of the bed for this purpose, but i would feel better if she also had a gun she was willing to use and be confident with. i know .22 and .25 are both...

    Is the 1851 navy accurate enough for hunting?

    My local cabelas has the pietta 1851 navy on sale this month for $189. Im very tempted to pick one up and try to use it for small game hunting. But Is the navy model capable of this kinda accuracy out to around 15 yards? Can they be "sighted in" to hit point of aim? Or would i have to rely...
