Don't limit yourself to $500.00. If necessary, save up your money and get a 4" K frame or L frame Smith and Wesson revolver. They are the best and most versatile revolvers. They can be used for target shooting with mild .38 Special ammo or loaded up with .357 Magnum ammo for personal defense or...

I'll just say in passing that I fired quite a bit of factory match 148 gr. HBWC ammo in the past. The match brass is noticeably thinner than brass found in other loadings, especially military.

I really love my 3" S&W model 60-10. Many years ago I carried a 3" S&W model 36, nickel plated. It was a lot easier to shoot than the 2" model. I like the Speer 135 gr. in .38 SPL, but Underwood also has some interesting options.

I'm pretty sure that the OP is going the Short Barreled Shotgun route.

Handgun loads aren't much affected by anything except the quality of the bullet. The loose nut behind the trigger is the weakest link by far. Match rifle shooting is a different story, with case prep, primer selection, powder selection and amount being important and the bullet being of the most...

There are plenty of other guns that would be a better choice. If I wanted a semi-auto, I'd probably go with the Remington V3 tactical and put a stock with a full pistol grip on it or a Mossberg 990 Aftershock. If you want to stay with a pump, there is the Remington TAC 14 or the Mossberg...

Go for it, if you're going to read it and actually look up stuff!

We had them yesterday. I grilled them. I was only 68 and 1/2 short of the winning score at Coney Island.

Only in America!

You need a bigger purse!

My niece and her hubby moved out of Colorado. I think that it had as much to do with the oppressive gun laws as legalized marijuana. From what I've been reading we are just starting to learn about the problems with marijuana. Pot heads always make the loudest noise in promoting it. Per your...

Actually, your location tells me a lot about the people who live there and their attitudes.

If you shoot at a club range or indoor range, you could leave it there. Surely you can find a reloader who would gladly pull the bullet and then fire the primed case. You could see if your local gun store (not big box) would take it off your hands. Leaving it "in the woods" or "throwing it in...

After many, many problem used cars of various models, I finally went with new Fords. If you are going to keep your new car for 10 years and take care of it and can afford it, I'd get new. I had a used rental car. It was ok, but was starting to show signs of a weak engine. I was t-boned by a...

Back in the late 60's my pregnant wife was living with her parents. The USPS carrier became more than that to my in-laws and wife. He was always especially caring when he would deliver those letters postmarked "FREE". He was nearly like family. When my father-in-law, who was easy to like, passed...
