More than once I’ve stated that my choices don’t have to be your choices. While we all are probably better served with input from others on a topic, in the end, we have to make our own decisions. If the following information is of some use, that’s good, but in the end, go with what works best for you. .22LR…
At various gun boards we see “What is the best automatic for me to buy?” In areas dedicated to wheel guns the same question concerning revolvers is common as well. Sadly, what too often occurs is that opinions will be given and the thread gets hijacked due to others arguing and sometimes calling names. I get several…
