    Changing my edc gun to 22 LR (new info at the end of thread)

    Interesting Thread, I too am a 76 year old geezer with bad hands. For years I have carried a LCP .380 and it is a bear to shoot. Painful. About a month ago I bought a LCP2 in .22LR. I have been shooting it twice a week and am starting to feel confident about it. Not carrying it yet though. When...

    UPDATED-Bad day at the range...

    That is scary-glad you are ok. Your experience brought back a scary memory for me. Way back in the 70s I was the night guy at a range in Haverstraw, NY.A regular customer came in to try out his brand new Colt Trooper .357. After a while he came to me and said he was having lots of trouble...

    Model 13 cyl is hard to open

    I Bought my Model 13 4in nickle back in 1980. Its been sitting in my safe for decades. Took it out the other day and discovered the cylinder is rather stiff when trying to open it. I am guessing it might just be some tired lubricate somewhere in it. Any suggestions on getting it to open easier...

    Need Help with Date of Manufacture

    It's a Model 10, 4 inch with a pinned bbl. serial number D67478. My friend just picked it up this week at our local range. Shoots great and he is going to send it to the mother ship for refinishing. Any info on when it was built would be great.

    Sam's or Costco?

    Discount tires is the best. On my last purchase I went online to Tire Rack and checked prices and reviews. When I decided on the tires I wanted I printed out the page and took it to tire rack.

    CCW and Dr's visits

    In SC it is not legal for a Ccw to bring a gun into a medical facility. I do not understand the logic but its the law.

    My bad, and yes, it was stupid!!

    Ok here is mine. Dates back to the 70s and it still bothers me. I almost shot my dog. I was on a sick day, laying in bed with my Ruger mk1 feeling sorry for myself. Dog was in the bed with me. For some reason I pointed the gun at her head and started to press. I guess God was with me. I stopped...

    visual problems picking up my front sights at the range

    Check out Duluth Trading, they sell safety glasses with the reading portion on the top rather the bottom. This allows good focus on the front sight without tilting your head.

    Question for NY gunowners

    We moved from NY to SC about 15 years ago. Reading about the new laws absolutly makes me want to gag. Talk about a knee jerk reaction. We make the trip to NY once or twice a year-have family and friends there. I am literally ready to kiss the ground when we get back to SC. Southern hospitality...

    S&W Ammo

    I have several boxes of S&W brand ammo I purchased many moons ago. I am wondering if it has any value or should I just shoot it up. I have 44mag, 357 and 38 spl. Thanks
