    Please help ID this old Savage pistol

    A friend's daughter inherited this Savage from a relative and I'm trying to find more about it. I do not have access to the gun as it's several states away. With Savage on the grip I'm assuming it's one of theirs. I'd be interested in Model #, caliber, and possible age. Thanks for any help.

    12 gauge pistol.

    A couple days ago I saw an article about a twelve gauge double barrel pistol. I guess a modern Howdah pistol. Years ago I saw cheap versions in .410 gauge. A younger version of myself may have been interest but now I wouldn't shoot anything like that if you paid me. I am wondering what you...

    Help choosing 9mm defense load

    I'm new to reloading, but i'd like to do a lot more practice with my actual defense rounds. As of now I've been using factory Winchester rangers (the old black tip), and I'd like to develop my own 9mm load (not picky on grain) that i can afford to practice with some as well as have plenty...

    Handgun Hunting

    I would like to eventually get to a point where I'm comfortable hunting whitetail/hogs with a handgun. I have a ways to go in order to get my accuracy where I would need it to be for ethical shots. However I have started debating which caliber would be the best option for me to do this with and...

    Bersa Firestorm vs S&W Shield

    I'm about to turn 21 and want to buy a handgun that I can ccw under a t-shirt. Right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Firestorm, even though the Shield is 9mm and basically the same size which makes it a little more practical. Also I'm in California so I have to get something on the roster...

    Instead of learning world history calculus and graduating from pharmacy school. I wish I was taking courses on handguns, origins , ammunition’s , tactical gear etc. Feels like a making of Harry Potter movie. But seriously I’m a newbie or dare I say a 22lr’e ( I only say that because everything I...

    Buckmark, Victory or Ruger MK IV for a 22lr?

    which should I get? I want a reliable, accurate pistol for 22lr to plink and train my daughters to shoot with. Would probably like adjustable sights but not too worried about them. Would like the option to put a red dot on since I have an extra one laying around. Not too worried about adding...

    Hey there, this is my first day on the forum. I will be moving out of my parents place in roughly a year and living aboard a sailboat (yes, I know it's crazy). But I don't want to be out on a boat on my own where no help would be able to come for a while if I got into trouble. So I would like to...

    Ruger MKIV final verdict?

    SO now that the Ruger MKIV pistol has endured a couple of years since the debut, what is the final verdict? I am thinking of unloading my older MKII pistols in favor of the newer MKIV models. The MKIV assembly seems a sure improvement. I already know about the brief safety recall, but I...

    9mm....worth it?

    This is not a thread asking about the cost savings of reloading 9mm. I am new to hand loading but I've been loading long enough to know I'll save money. My question is do you think it's worth the time? Currently I only load for revolver (38,44) so brass retrieval is not an issue. It seams like...

    Hello all, I have a bit of a question. I have a beautiful Beretta 84bb, and I love the gun to death. Unfortunately, a previous owner somewhere along the line either didn't, or just didn't understand cleaning and maintenance of a firearm. When it came to me, I had to do a bit of work. New grips...
