Yes big cats and crocs and even bull sharks are a big fear of mine but I doubt if if a gun would help alot in this situation but I sure would be shooting if attacked. Most of the attacks that have been happening are by small groups with machetes. I picked the 9mm cause it is easy to find in...

Thanks alot guys for all the posts! http://www.manasquanfasteners.com/Stainless%20Steel%20Technical%20Data.htm I don’t know what grade SS is used in guns but it looks like 316 grade stainless is the best for saltwater. Titanium however is supposedly even much better than SS 316...

Any pocket guns that can withstand a lot of wading and occasionally in saltwater? I hear that titanium withstands saltwater very well but doesn't it have problems firing lead bullets-maybe thats a compromise I have to live with? I also hear that glocks stand up pretty well by Navy Seals...

I'm debating between the two following types of barrels for a 10/22 upgrade to be used for hunting and and long term dependability. Aircraft aluminum such as http://www.gunblast.com/TacticalSolutions1022.htm Or Carbon fiber such as Magnum Research, butler...

Thanks for the info all

I am intersted in the 60-18 chief's but am confused over what appear to be similar models that are referred simply as M60 5" or M60-18 because the different descriptions often seem to show different weights and prices. Does the 18 and Chief's signify different varients or are they all the...

I am trying to decide between the 3" S&W 317 and 5" NAA black widow. I wonder how the single action and longer barrel of the 5" black widow competes in accuracy with the 3" 317 but then I am also concerned about how accurate 22lr bullets are out of the widow's 22 mag barrel. Other...
