    Ted Nugent schools CNN’s Piers Morgan on gun control

    I think Ted Nugent is an obnoxious loudmouth. He typifies extremism in the press, that turns people who dont care one way or the other, against the case he argues for. He is a less (thank god) publicized version of the rest of the idiot talking heads ala Al Franken, Michael Moore, Rush...

    Yet another noob question

    Hrm... I am not sure how good of a heat sink an egg would make.... but frying eggs on my cylinder would make for a decent lunch... :)

    Yet another noob question

    My first day at the range last week, I put 100 rounds through my 686. I got alittle nervous as the gun grew warmer and warmer, and wanted to ask some of you veteran shooters on here, how hot is too hot??? When should I give the gun a break and let it cool off? I dont want to damage...

    school me on gun cleaning

    Thanks for the responses. Putting the #9 in a squirt bottle is a fine idea. I think I am going to buy a lower priced Otis kit, just for the bits, and pull thru device. The Lewis Lead Remover is also on the list of things to buy. After I shot my revolver, I did run several patches thru...

    school me on gun cleaning

    Ok, in my past, my experience has been with rifles/shotguns, and my cleaning kits were always the Hoppes kits. My process for cleaning my guns has always been to (make sure everything is unloaded, remove clip/bolt, etc) thread the swab in the cheap plastic "hoop" dip in the #9 run...

    What's with the Angry?

    Brand new to the handgun school, and an overall noob to guns. I own a few, and have shot (mostly 22s and shotguns) and recently picked up a 686 S&W 4". When I went to my local gun shop (expressly went to this location because I want to support local efforts over chain stores) I asked a few...

    Advice for new and would-be .500 S&W Magnum shooters...

    I am not a gun pro, but I have shot a 500. I am not sure of the loads I was firing. My handling of the gun was fine, and I didnt smack myself with the gun.. Thinking back on it, I could have probably had better form, to avoid the high kick I got.. but it was my first time shooting something...

    I decided to buy a handgun that had no purpose than just to have fun shoooting it.

    Hey Exinvictas, How much did Smith charge for those wood grips? I am picking up my new 4" 686 this week, and really dont like the look of the rubber grips. I am not happy unless I have a handful of wood.... ERRRR. Thanks!

    first post, intro and judge question

    Thanks for the responses folks. I appreciate the input... Like I said, I dont think I would ever actually have to use the gun on a hike, its more for my peace of mind, than anything practical. Besides... think I wanna get a SA for my next gun. :)

    first post, intro and judge question

    Hey all, first time poster, short time lurker. First, I would like to thank everyone for their contributions on this forum. A couple of months ago, my long time desire to own a revolver was rekindled when there was a series of attempted b&es near my home. I have a couple of shotguns, and...
