Reader Comments of the Week
“As a lefty, I find that practicing shooting right handed with one hand is very important. Not just for shooting from a vehicle, but in case your primary arm is somehow injured, or your only cover requires returning fire from your right hand. Practice, practice, practice.”
– BRAD, in response to Driving With A Handgun: Best Practices
“I have a 686 Plus 5.5″, I would not trade it for a Python, although I sure would like to have a Python to go with the S&W. Now is a hard time to find a Colt, i am not willing to pay above MSRP for one. Thank you for the information on Colt and Smith and Wesson revolvers in 357.”
– LEON, in response to Colt and Smith & Wesson: A Story of Two Classic Magnums
“A very convincing article concerning your choice of a Savage Scout. I prefer the Ruger Scout for the same reasons you justify your pick. Six to one is a half dozen to another. Either one is a fine investment.”
– KWF, in response to Review: Savage Arms Scout Bolt-Action Rifle
