    N.R.A.

    i disagree with alot of the stuff that gets pumped down my throat as an NRA member (life member), but the simple fact remains...the NRA is the single most powerful 2nd Amendment advocacy group there is. without the NRA, the 2nd Amendment may have been dissolved long ago

    Dog Attack

    im not a pet BUT... my parents didn't want me to get shot, so they trained me properly. if a pet owner doesn't want their dog shot, they should train them properly. i'm not blood-thirsty, but i won't hesitate to shoot an aggressive dog.

    Decent compact .40S&W options

    i don't have alot of experience with a variety of compact 40s, but i now own a S&W MP40c, and i couldn't be happier with my purchase for all the hoopla over the kick/recoil of the 40S&W round, i was beyond surprised at how little recoil i felt when i shot the MP40c i won't poo-poo other...

    Defensive Ammo Poll.

    i answered 20-50, but the truth is it depends... as others have mentioned, if i am shooting a "seasoned" gun with "seasoned" mags, then i feel pretty confident with only about 20 rounds. i will typically take one shot, then inspect. then i will shoot the next 20 or so rounds with quick...

    Do you still have your first firearm?

    yes. S&W 5904. i have had the opportunity to sell it/trade up for a number of other purchases, but i will never let this firearm go. besides the fact that it's as reliable as death/taxes, and more accurate than i could ever be, this pistol was purchased with the help of my father. my dad...

    Glock or S&W 3rd Gen?

    easyg, surely you don't equate S&W's desire to keep up with modern designs by creating a lighter pistol (the M&P) with their previous autoloaders being inferior? S&W created the M&P because the number of CCWs has probably quadrupled since the 3rd generation guns were originally made...

    Why Don't You Own A Safe?

    inexpensive options? i haven't noticed any recommendations, but are there any inexpensive (NOT CHEAP...there is a difference) gun safe options out there? i know my collection (2 handguns and a shotgun) pales in comparison to many, but i don't think i will ever own more than about 5 handguns...

    How do you guys feel about this...

    the OP is in north carolina, but i'm not sure where (i'm in charlotte). my buddy is cheap, and he's trying to find the cheapest place to take his CCW course. he found a church in dallas (near gastonia) that actually has a pistol range connected to the church! not really on topic (a thousand...

    9mm vs. .40 for compact CCW

    not sure if it's been mentioned yet...if you get the 40c, then you can purchase a conversion barrel for 9mm (and 357sig if you decide to). you can convert your 40c DOWN to a 9mm but you cannot convert a 9mm UP TO a 40 just something to consider. (fwiw, i bought an M&P40c this...

    LaserLyte LT-Pro for dry fire practice

    no neighbors in sight doesn't mean no neighbors can see you! when i read the OP, and saw the pics, i thought the same thing. it's just bad "form" to go around pointing guns at people's houses i could forsee a million different headaches for you (from the involvement of police to just...

    What's the NEXT gun you're gonna buy?

    i went to make a payment on my M&P40c (almost mine!) last week, and i noticed a S&W 4006 and 4506. oooooh, those 3rd generations smittys just keep callin me... if i don't pick up another 3rd gen, i may go ahead and pick up an AK47 or AK74. i have also considered getting into the 1911 game...
