How does your lever gun handle .44spl? I've heard that they have no problem feeding .44Mag but the shorter .44spl is not as reliable. I've been looking into getting a .44spl./.44Mag SS all weather Henry lever gun to pair up with a SS Charter Arms Bulldog revolver. They look like they would...

What part of the country do you people live in where you are finding nice old Colt and S&W revolvers? Certainly not in my neck of the woods, that's for sure.

Not having owned either make in .357Mag (but wanting to) I would go with Henry unless you can find an older Marlin. I keep hearing that the new Marlins just ain't what they used to be. I think the idea of having a rifle/pistol combo of the same caliber using a self containing ammo system and...

Here is a box of .32 S&W Long Wadcutters that are specially made for a LGS in my area. They also have a "Hardcast" load available, I believe it is 115gr. If I were going to use a .32 for defense these type of loads would be the only ones I would choose. Forget about hollow points or the standard...

I just picked this one up today, a Rossi M88 snubbie in excellent condition with original box, manual, etc. I had been eyeballing it for several months now at a LGS and just didn't get up the gumption to buy it until today when I found out that it was slated to go to a Gun Show next week so I...

Most of my LGS have one thing in common, they are all overpriced on their firearms and/or knives to a greater or lesser degree. Some have good prices on ammo, accessories, etc. and are useful for other things like indoor ranges but I cringe at the thought of buying firearms/knives from them...

I think the general answer to that question on this forum would be a hardy "yes!" How many people are actually still carrying or using those revolvers for SD/HD is another question.

Of course I understand that it's a personal choice. It's all about the individual in America, I get it. "It's what works for me" is the mantra of every arm chair forum commando who never actually had to use their guns in combat or self defense. But there are others who have and they have...

I can generally agree with that statement but there has never been one time in history, at least here in America, where our LEO or military used or were issued .380's. It's possible it may have seen limited issue for airline pilots or something oddball like that but this would be a rare...

The worst beer I ever had was a "Bock" style or at least that's what the bottle was claiming. I can't recall the name of the beer or the brewery, it was many years ago. A local specialty market was selling it by the case and with returnable bottles on top of that for some ridiculously cheap...

Funny, the actual LEO whose comments I replied to that offended you so much was far more civil and more in agreement with me then you are. He didn't order me to "stop posting" like you did. And how, pray tell, do you presume to know how experienced I am or expect someone newer to the forum to...

The question is not whether someone is willing to get shot with anything. People don't even want to be shot with a pellet gun. That is a straw man argument and weak defense of a caliber. The question is whether .380acp is "enough". In most cases it probably is but not in every case and it just...

If .380acp were "enough" then our military and LEO's would be using it. As I understand some agencies won't even allow their LEO's to carry .380's. There must be a reason for that. Don't get me wrong, I do like the .380 as well as most of the guns they are chambered for and I have carried them...

With .38spl standard pressure I wouldn't even bother with JHP's in a snub-nose. I second the others who recommend the 148gr. wadcutters but they are not always so easy to find. Failing that I don't see anything wrong with Winchester White Box or their "Train & Defend" line (both 130gr.) as...

Without reading all the details I can't fault the guy for trying to help the woman. How can any decent person just stand there and let dogs rip an innocent person to shreds if they have the means to do something about it? I would've wanted the guy to take the shot if I were the woman being...

It greatly depends on the gun you are firing .357Mag with. If it's a full sized steel frame gun with at least a 3" or more barrel the .357Mag shouldn't be much of a problem for a healthy adult. If it's a snubby with an aluminum frame then no way. I don't even shoot .38spl +P in my light weight...

I always hear the following on gun forums: "I carry brand X type of handgun/caliber/holster/carry method because "it works for me". Now I understand this from a purely fundamental standpoint, we use the type of gun/caliber/holster/carry method we like and feel most comfortable with but until we...

True, you can have one side that is pro-gun and just wants everyone to carry whatever caliber they can get their hands on by telling them it doesn't really matter, then you have another side who is anti-gun who wants to paint the picture that all larger calibers are "cruel and unusual...

A very informative post and it goes to show how these studies can be manipulated in one way or another to achieve whichever bias the writer wants to present which is why they must all be taken with a very large grain of salt. Sure it is, only a fool would believe otherwise. Having said that...

For the purposes of this video that is not what the narrator is presenting. He is basically saying that except for the very small mousegun calibers all the other handgun calibers from .380acp on up don't really matter. It's not about being able to hit your target or what you like to shoot and...
