    New K-Comp: Grips, Sights, Leather?

    The angle and black on black contrast camouflage the backstrap coverage. Never tried the nylon Hogues...thanks!

    New K-Comp: Grips, Sights, Leather?

    Perusing the used section of the local sporting goods shop, I came across a lightly used Model 19-9 K-comp for $899...was the classic "offer you can't refuse", and it came home with me. The trigger / action is amazing, but I'm considering swapping out the furniture / sights and also looking for...

    686 5” Half Lug Value?

    Have a 686-6 model 164284 with a half-lugged 5” barrel in good condition and am trying to determine if I’ll sell it. Not many out there, so am looking for pricing insights. Inherited a 5” 27 recently, which is taking its spot in the safe. Thanks!

    Sling for New Model 70

    Just received my one big-game rifle and want some thoughts on a sling. Winchester 70 Supergrade French Walnut in 30-06. Mounting a Leupold VX5 on it and need a sling...definitely want leather or canvas. Getting back into hunting after a 20-year hiatus and decided I’d replace my dad’s old...

    Leather Rig for New 27-2

    Just inherited a 5” 27-2 with original box and papers. It’s a work of art and deserves equally beautiful leather. Thinking maybe a cross-draw rig or even a full cartridge loop belt. Suggestions?

    442/642 or LCR?

    Debating between a 442/642 and an LCR 38+P - for those who have owned / shot / carried both...what do you think? Moved further south and looking for something a little easier to tote in shorts / light shirt than a Glock IWB. Already have a 640, but it's a bit heavy for pocket carry. Carry...

    Photography advice - how to shoot steel?

    Hey, guys...could use some photography advice for shooting metal. I'm helping a family member with a new business making steel signs. These things look gorgeous in person...almost a "liquid metal" look with the bluing and gloss techniques...but it's been tough to take pictures that fully do...

    Newbie Question: Is a 9mm Enough for Self Protection

    This statement is asinine.

    Newbie Question: Is a 9mm Enough for Self Protection

    9mm is easy and cheap to shoot...which increases your ability to develop a high level of proficiency...which increases your likelihood of placing the shot on the target. You will seldom see a failure to stop by a 9mm that would have been a success with a .40 or .45. FAR more often you witness...
