    Nearly the whole Ruger American Rimfire line-up appears to have "availability issues."

    Only you will ultimately know what does or doesn't work for you. That being said, the Miroku Winchester copies that I have owned and/or spent time with were all of better materials and better fitted...

    My pet 9mm SA 5" RO Operator is probably the last centerfire handgun that I will knowingly part with. It has been strictly a plinker/fungun/range toy, and I would only halfheartedly use it in...

    I understand the utility value of this even though it cancels out a couple of the virtues that have been more or less inherent in (most) leverguns. A cursory look leads me to believe that rifles with...

    When I was younger, there were a lot of men - a good many of whom kinda looked/dressed like Fred Mertz - who had seen a bit of the world and yet carried dinky .32 revolvers. Now that I am...

    SP101s are heavy and bulky compared to steel J-frames, but they are much more pleasant WRT recoil... one can't have one's cake and eat it too. The only snubby still on the property after my Great...

    I have only owned two DDs; one is still in the family.

    The M4V7SLW is a dandy turn-key carbine. I kind of wish I had gone the 14.5 barrel with a pinned FH route on my last AR.

    Makes sense.

    Broadly speaking, the CX4s I am personally acquainted with have functioned and held up quite well overall over time (much to my surprise). And as much as I have complained about the...

    Agreed. Ms gata naranja still loves her SR22s, and I became something of a convert myself; so packable, easy to use and maintain that there is never any reason to NOT take an SR22 along. Ours all...

    I handicapped myself with a 14" LOP - or thereabouts - "sporting" shotgun stock WAY too long. I have been slowly but steadily converting some of the Fuddites.

    Back in the old days, I think most GP-100s and SP101s came with a small length of drill rod or brass rod to put through that strut 's small hole. I know I lost a few of them back when I was playing...

    I tried hard to like the full-size PX4s, but never really developed a lot of enthusiasm for them; I took to the full-size 92X right away.

    IMO, the PX4 compact is Beretta's best DA/SA gun from a procedural standpoint- easier to maintain, probably more durable long-term, etc. I switched to the 92X line-up because with the X series,...
