Check out B-Square's no-drill mount - mine works fine, but it is on a long barrel .357, and it gets little recoil. Some say they are poorly made, but not mine, it was well made, easy to install, and works well. On a .454 I'd use a very lightweight scope so there isn't too much inertia to torque off ...

The OTHER big difference between the PT-99 and PT-92 and the Beretta is that the safety is cool on the Taurus, like the 1911, and STUPID on the Beretta. My PT-92 is the ugliest gun I have (but it works flawlessly) - it has an old aluminum frame, a beautiful satin nickle slide, banged up wood grips, ...

Clubkey, I qualified on the same course they did with my backup weapon, a S&W Model 36, a 5 shot 2" snub barreled revolver. I had to break the action and add one round during most of the course because it was designed to accommodate at least a "six-shooter." I still finished shoo...

Your guns are all in too good a shape; I don't think you shoot them enough. Please, for their sakes , send them to me, a 'pair' at a time, so I can give them the love and exercise they need. I promise to shoot at least 1,000 rounds from each before returning it, and to get at least ONE good ding in ...

The rising prices of lead (and probable legislation restricting 'stockpiling' of lead or banning it at some point except for LEO's or 'registered reloaders') got me thinking outside the box.

For the 'if you just had ONE cartridge' question it is easy to say .357, .44 or .45 - but when it becomes TWO it gets interesting... Adding a .22 LR is always nice, or a 12 gauge, but within the centerfire rifle/handgun realm, what ones... Good point about the .45-70 (or .444) being enough for virtu...

Don't forget the under-left-armpit hoslters (I had a Bianchi 'Scoprion' but they've re-named their series since) for small revolvers and medium autos.

I like many of the features of 'ammoguide.com' (comparisons, statistics, etc.) better than the 'handloader.com' but it has fewer loads listed overall. That site may be worth perusing.

Everyone should homeschool or private school. Too bad the government sucks our paychecks and taxes our property so they can pay $9,000 a head to 'educate' our kids. Don't you think you could do it yoursef or hire a tutor if you had $9,000 per kid?

I could tell you what I would do and that ain't it. Officer discretion is one of the best tools that an officer can have.

The REAL problem is our failure to differentiate between CRIME and VICE . Crime is a legitimate government matter.

AJ, the peep sight under the scout mount seems WAY too far forward to use. Can you see through the peep sight enough to engage the front sight? Also, IMHO, one has to establish the same cheek weld in order to shoot the same grouping consistently. Have you experienced otherwise? It is hard to take a...

I really like my Bushnell 'Sportview' scopes, but I'm not sure if they still make them in 'silver' or not. I know the fashion is to put $1,500 scopes on $500 rifles, but if you have very many guns that gets pricey. I think the current equivalent of the 'Sportview' is the 'Trophy' but they also make ...

P.S. - my son and I shot a dry soda can full of black powder that I wanted to get rid of, with a .223, and it didn't 'do' anything but make a hole in the can and flip it in the air and most of the powder fall out the holes in the can. I always thought black powder would blow up if you did that - wha...

I have both, and like both, and agree with the 'handle both and see what one you like' philosophy, since they are both excellent guns. The primary difference is ease of scope or receiver sight mounting, both favoring the Marlin. Most people find the Rossi a bit 'handier' but much of that is the thic...

Hobie said pretty much what I'd say: A .22 LR (Marlin, Winchester, Henry, or 'even' a Ruger) if you don't already own one in another action. If you do own a .22 rifle, and already own a revolver in .32-20, .38, .357, .44, .45, etc, then a lever gun to match. If no revolver, a .357 with 16" if y...

AJ, I like your photo array. I want to get a Redhawk also, but I was planning to get wood grips to match the Marlin. Do you feel the Pachmayr grips are better due to recoil? I would like the "matched" look but I may change my mind if I understand that aesthetics need to take a back seat t...
