You'll never regret getting a P series Ruger! I have a KP89DC (stainless) and it is a complete tank. I have gotten guff from other guys... until they shoot it... they always say that they like it as much, or more, than their pistol that cost a TON more. I have blasted thousands of rounds through...
Are there any revolvers that you WOULDN'T bob the hammer on? I have found a few good deals on Taurus 85s..... any luck with those?
IMHO...I think that the guys that have trouble, try to bob the hammer and lighten the trigger pull on their newly DAO revolver. I don't have any intention of...
I agree with joshua_xdm, you are going to want both!...and actaeon277 hit the nail on the head..... with $500 and some patience, you can find two quality used firearms that will temporarily fill your need. I say "temporarily" because we all know that you will want more! I swear, it is a disease...
Have you guys seen any of the Mosins that people have hacked down to pistols? Two hand firing only! I would love to see one of those firing off in the dark..... talk about a fireball! :alright:
HAH! Ya, I definitely won't be reducing a single action revolver to a zero action. I really LOL'd after that one.
It's good to hear that there haven't been any issues. The reason I asked is because I'm scouting out a new CC revolver and concealed/internal hammer was definitely on the list of...
I LOVE shooting .22s!
My MKI and MKII are a blast to eat bricks with.... and the Tec-22 is just plain cool!
Everyone needs several .22s..... I know I plan on scoring some more :rockwoot:
They just bring a smile to your face :D
I seems like no matter what I bring to the range, everyone ends...
Has anybody out there had any experience with bobbing the hammer on a revolver?
I have found many mixed reviews/opinions on this, but few actual experiences. Some say it is no problem, others say by lightening the hammer you greatly increase the chance of a misfire.
Personally, I think that if a...
96harley..... I hope those guys will pay attention to you try to learn from your experience. We need guys like you to mentor guys like them!! :rockwoot:
Hold strong man!
+1 on this. Not all LEOs are the easiest to work with, but they have to deal with the scum of the earth on a daily basis. After a while of that, and I would probably lose my hope in humanity. :xmad:
I have had a couple of very bad experiences with LEOs, (BTW, I was never at fault or charged with...
I have a newer stainless mini-14 and i wouldn't trade it for anything. It has always been a tack driver and has NEVER jammed or misfired. I swear it would fire dirt if I crammed it in there. :ar15:
I think ARs are awesome and I intend to build one of my own sometime, but every AR that I have...
Ruger single-six, if you would be willing to compromise to single action.
+1 on the H&R
I had a H&R 9-shot years ago. Awesome little gun, no swing out cylinder, but it was double action. I paid $125 for it and sold it for $150....a long time ago. I haven't seen one in a while though.... As soon...
I like pocket guns of all sorts, but the revolver is what I chose to carry. For all of the above-listed reasons and the fact I'm a lefty. Try popping off a round or two from your auto, with your left hand, without having your arm fully extended....... oh yea, hot casings flying directly at your...
I am in the exact same spot.... I'm a lefty considering the same two (.38 BG and LCR....also liking Taurus)
I have loved every Ruger that I have ever owned, or even shot, but the ambi-release on the BG is swaying me that way.
To add to the original poster's question.... do any of the...
I can't believe that I forgot about the ol' BOX O' Truth! I love cruising through that site. I am really surprised that the #4 shot didn't expand over 3.5" after being shot from a choke-less barrel at 12'. Mine is a choke-less also and I just assumed that shot would expand too much to be useful...
Hey Guys,
I have always depended on my Mossberg 500 loaded with 12ga slugs for home defense. The reason I chose 12ga slugs was because of their lethal wall/door penetrating power. Basically, as long as my wife was behind me, the whole house was within range. :D (Plus you can mix loads... slug...
Okay.... I stand corrected. A little paranoia IS healthy. :draw:
In Ohio where I grew up, the officer has a ton of room to interpret firearm laws. I knew a guy that was arrested because his unloaded rifle was not in a case and the action was closed. (in his vehicle) Now, the guy was probably a...
I'll always recommend a good Ruger. They are rugged powerhouses. I have only had a few miss-feeds and they were all the same day..... Had a group shoot and my pistol was used for a few of the events. It had hundreds of rounds of cheap ammo through it. I lubed her several times, but the Remoil...
