      Using A Handgun For Home Defense: What Then?

      Just curious. If you shoot an intruder in Maryland, what then? Do they take your gun? And if so, do you get it back? Years ago, in the 70s, I was told by an anti-gun woman that it shouldn't even be a consideration. But what if the intruder died? "I don't think any gun used to take a human...

      S&W 36/60: +P Ammo?

      I realize the S&W 36/60 and Rossi M88s weren't rated for the +P .38Spc, but does anyone have any real time experience using this type of ammo with these types of guns? I'm hesitant to use +P ammo with my J-frame guns, but I had a friend back in the 90s who shot it repeatedly in his Rossi 3-inch...

      The Blacklist w/James Spader

      I've been watching The Blacklist (Seasons 1-5) and it's excellent, even if the writing at times is uneven adding the storyline predictable with the situational processes convenient. But though I haven't bought Seasons 6-10, I like it enough to buy future seasons should they come down in price...

      Where's The Beef: Colt’s Less Than Ubiquitous Python?

      Just curious. I've been watching YouTube videos on the S&W 686 this week. I've never had any quality time with the Colt Python...haven't even seen a new Python. I'm just trying to find out what it is about the Pythons that make them so desirable. Back when they had the gorgeous blue-on-blue...

      Define “Assault Weapon,” Please!

      At yesterday's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) questioned DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas about assault weapons. Mayorkas is a professional hack who has never answered a yes or no question in his life. He's one of the most disingenuous politicians on the payroll...

      Charter Arms Bulldog .44

      I was reading about the Charter Arms Bulldog earlier today and it got me thinking about a stainless steel version I had back in the 80s. I got a .38 Spc snubbie and the Bulldog. The former always seemed a bit fragile, but I loved the looks of the Bulldog, especially the tapered barrel. Alas...

      Has Anyone Shot Both a 6-inch Ruger (Security-Six) and (GP-100)? Thoughts?

      I have a 6-inch Security-Six and a 6-inch S&W 686, but not a GP-100. I've handled 6-inch GP-100s at gun stores and thought they were too dang heavy. I understand that hot 357 ammo was hard on some S&W K-frame guns (though I never heard complaints from people who used 357 158gr jsp/jhp). The S&W...

      What's Your Whisky?

      Quick question. What would be your choice? A Ruger 4.75-inch skinny barrel, 6-inch skinny barrel or 5-inch bull barrel? Stainless or blued? Finally, why? Thnx!

      Elusive CTS XHP

      Does anyone know the story about Cold Steel (no relation) and CTS XHP? It had a good reputation as a knife steel, but then, poof! It was gone. The story I heard was that CTS felt that that the knife company just couldn't buy enough of it's product to be profitable; so the decision was CTS’s, not...

      Weird Horror Stories Buying/Selling

      Years ago, some guy tried to sell me a 6-inch Security-Six that clearly had some parts interchanged. The cylinder barely fit and the barrel/cylinder gap was so large I could have watched a movie through it! I didn't even need a gauge. And when I pulled the trigger, it was fine at first but built...

      Cylinder Wiggle Revisied

      I've previously posted that I have a Ruger Security-Six that has a bit of excess cylinder wriggle. I bought a new cylinder stop hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. Now I'm wondering what my next step should be. Excess cylinder play is something I just don't see in Rugers. I...

      What .357 Would You Choose?

      It's the end of modern civilization. You've just found a cave for long-term shelter. As you explore it, you find freeze-dried food, 20 cases of water, 2,500 rounds of vacuum packed .357 140r JHPs, 10,000 rounds of .22LR CCI Mini-Mags and three firearms, also in freeze-dried packages: A .357...

      Cylinder Wiggle

      Anyone have experience with cylinder wiggle? I have a Ruger Security-Six which, when cocked, has a slight wiggle to it that all my other Rugers don't. I suspect the issue is caused by an undersized cylinder stop. I've ordered another one, but I see this wiggle a lot in Taurus revolvers. When...

      Has The NRA Outlived Its Usefulness?

      For the past several decades I've been watching the NRA and haven't been a member for years. But nothing has disturbed me more than the gross misappropriation of funds from the fight against gun control to the lining of pockets of NRA executives. In an article by Jeff Knox, son of Neal Knox, a...

      Rossi M88 v. S&W 60

      As the moderately oblivious owner of a S&W 60 (square butt), S&W 36 (round butt), and a Rossi M88 3-inch, I'm curious. When I compare the Rossi M88 to my S&Ws, the only real difference I can see is the extractor rod. The lock ups, trigger pulls, sights and so forth are about the same. I've...

      Concealed Carry Without A Permit

      I'm curious. Does anyone know of a case where someone was arrested in Maryland for illegal concealed carry? (I'm not planning on carrying concealed, nor do I advocate carrying illegally in our great and glorious Fatherland.) I'm just curious as to what the penalty is and how long one might be...

      Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle

      It's an impressive little rifle, but when I couldn't decide between it and the Ruger 10/22 Breakdown, so I did what I always do when in similar such situations. I bought both. The Ruger is a fine gun, but it's heavy, even when broken apart. And the Henry can be easily thrown into a knapsack or...

      Anyone Have An Old Zorba CP/M?

      Getting a nostalgic urge to get the first computer I ever got. My wife has threatened to divorce me if I find one, but I'd really like to find one and relearn how to use it.

      Swapping Barrels On A Speed-Six?

      I've got a Ruger Speed-Six with a 3-inch barrel. I'm thinking of swapping it out for a 4-inch barrel, but I need to find someone in the Bethesda area who can do it. The gun started out as a .38Spc but I had it reamed out to take .357Mag. Back in the 70s, someone gave me this 4-inch barrel...
