- Sig p232. Loved the looks. Loved the light weight and slim design for carry. Hated how it shot. A lot of slide bite on my hand. Not as fun to shoot as my Smith 649. Not as easy to pocket carry. Sits in my safe looking pretty now...
- Smith 642. Love J frame revolvers. Loved the light...
I recently read a debate on another gun board in which two individuals were vigorously debating the proper ammunition for a defensive handgun. One argued that hollowpoints were the best choice, as they gave the best transfer of energy into the target. The second argued that ball was the best...
From my perspective, the old FBI load - the +P 158 grn. LSWHP - simply has too good a track record to be ignored, and it is what I load in all of my .38/.357 revolvers.
That said, when recoil became an issue for me due to an injury, I found that the Federal Nyclad loads did well from my...
To clarify a few things...
1. I'm not in the market for a new handgun. At least not for this trip, thank you.
2. At this point, I'm thinking Glock 21 or Smith 686. They are similar in weight, when loaded. Right now, my Glock weight just over 38 oz. loaded, and the Smith weighs around 44...
I'm planning a 5 day backpacking/hiking trip at the Daniel Boone National Forest with a couple of buddies. And, being gunners, we're all planning on bringing a firearm of some type, especially since it is legal. I'm thinking of a handgun. It's primary purpose is like the first aid kit...hope...
I was taught to avoid re-chambering the same round too many times because the process of being chambered and ejected can cause damage to the case rim, which in turn can lead to malfunctions. Set-back seems like a more serious concern to me.
I have to say that I see all of this as business. Just business. A company changes its products to meet the demands of the marketplace. And by demands, I mean more than just sales. More and more the anti gunners are using Consumer Safety issues to attack the manufacturers based upon the...
Grimjaw,
I had similar injuries, compound fracture to my left forearm, both bones exposed about halfway down the forearm. Two stainless plates and 15 screws. Let me tell you, physical therapy was a bit@#, but worth every bit of the pain and suffering. I got back about all of the strength...
I'm considering one of these rifles, and leaning towards the 15-22 right now. I like that it's light weight, which will make it easier to pack around if/when I take it hiking/backpacking with me. The 522 is second for the cool looks, and the fact that it folds up smaller. The Colt is a...
With $450 to spend, you might want to consider doing a little shopping. With a little effort and some luck, you may be able to find a 12 gauge pump gun that will suit your needs for around $200-$250. A quick search over at Gunbroker found several quality shotguns in that price range. the rest...
I am a lawyer in Ohio, and was a prosecutor for 12 years. There are no prohibitions in the Ohio Revised Code for a minor possessing a firearm. However, there may be local/city ordnances prohibiting possession of handguns by persons under 21. There are provisions prohibiting the sale to a...
Gander Moutain by me (east Columbus, Ohio) has a pretty good crew working in the gun department. Yeah, prices are a bit high on some things, but decent in other areas. Bought Glock mags for about $20 a piece. Nice thing for me is that they offer a 10% discount on non-gun and ammo purchases...
I've been in this debate many times, and I think my view is skewed by the fact that I was a prosecuting attorney for 12 years. I've taken hundreds of cases through the grand jury process, and reviewed even more than that with cops. It's from that perspective that I've decided that (God forbid)...
You assume that anyone on the set had a real working knowledge of firearms. I'm betting they got their hands on some real firearms, pulled bullets and dumped powder for "dummy rounds" and bought blanks for shooting scenes. No one took responsibillity for safety (obviously).
My one...
The Hilstrand brothers, who own the boat, are big outdoorsmen. In teh book Time Bandit, Jonathan talks about strapping on a Ruger .44 (can't recall which model) when his salmon fishing boat loses power and he believes he's headed into shore and going to have to survive on his own for a while in...
I just noticed that the VPC website has no press releases listed since 2003, and most of the artlices are years old. Sounds to me like they aren't a player in the current political arena...
In the dream house I'm designing, and hope one day to actually build, I have a room built off of the finished basement as my home office. It's going to have a serious door with some high end security, the ype to be determined by what's top of the line when I can actually afford to build it...
Fascinating that she's essentially stating that 2A limitations are a state's rights issues, and that 2A lmits federal restrictions. Why interesting to me? A federal AWB may be something that she sees as contrary to 2A, saying that such an issue is left to state's rights.
Also, if she is a...
