When I was looking for my 9mm, the best advice I received (right here on this forum I might add) was to really think about what you want out of the pistol. As others have also pointed out, there are DAO/Safe Action nines like the Glock or the Springfield XD, and then there are the SA/DA models...

Wow. That may be the most elloquently written argument in favor of gay rights from the religious point of view which I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Why can't every relgious zealot stop and think about the "loving god" whose supposed ideals they are yearning to protect. Here is the...

Ok, so within the price ceiling of $2000, which model of the Springfield M1A is going to be the best bang for my bucks? (forgive the tired pun) I really like the Socom 16, but the Loaded Model with Walnut stock and stainless barrel is quite nice. Lets hear some opinions, and feel free to post...

I don't think these points indicate an indictment of the RKBA, keep in mind, they happen in AFRICA. The film really assaults the impact of small arms trafficking in violent third world countries, but these people are not given the RKBA. It may be anti-gun, but it has nothing to do with OUR...

You, Sir, are an inspiration... I too was having some anti/girl trouble that is on its way to being resolved. Glad to here that others have had such success as you've had. Keep at it, I can't imagine anything better than your significant other outshooting you. :D Best of luck.

The debate has ended and the war is over. I bought my first gun. It is a Beretta 92FS Inox in 9mm, a real beauty in great shape. You all may or may not remember my thread which garnered a lot of attention a month or so back about wifes/spouses who are anti. This is the follow-up report. My...

1911Ron, Why is it such a bad idea to fire a warning shot? (please forgive me if this is a stupid question) Although I also agree that a defensive shooting would be justified in this scenario, it seems that pulling from holster and perhaps firing a warning shot would alert these little b@stards...

"You are trying to alter her perception, she is trying to alter yours. You don't see that as doing the same thing?" Written as such, yes, we are both trying to change each other's opinions. But it is the manner in which we are trying to achieve this result that we differ. I am hoping to...

First of all, Hawkmoon is right that I live in a house which is owned by her parents, I do not live with them. But he is wrong that I will live a miserable life "pain, hurt, sorrow, and regret". This will either work or it won't, but right now I am trying to make it work and that's a difficult...

So I wrote out my whole response and as I clicked submit, my connection failed, and I lost the whole thing. This is the rewrite and it just hits my main points... 1.) PILOT, I think I am going to go with your approach for the most part. I still want to try to educate her, but I think that...

Thanks Jamie Well, either way, you're gonna be waiting a long time to find out. Neither of us wants to do anything until we finish grad school. But I'll let you know in four years, ok? Enjoy your laugh :cuss:

Did anyone else think that it was ridiculous that in this movie, Xhibit (or however you spell it) is using a huge Desert Eagle as his carry gun for a hotel security job? I couldn't get over this watching it last night. I also cracked up at his bad acting, but that's another matter.

Alright, Round 3... Let me start this by saying that I do appreciate everyone's input, but that I don't think it is necessary to bash each other for having an opinion. However, I do appreciate that you just care so much about me :D . Just kidding. Oh, and this is not a psych experiment, though...

Thank You I am amazed at what a vein I appear to have tapped in bringing out this post. Let me be perfectly clear that this is a legitimate situation that I am facing: I have been with my girlfriend for six years now, we are both in graduate study and will most likely (as long as we are still...

How many out there have come across this problematic situation? My current girlfriend and potential wife is super anti-firearm. I only recently have gotten into the hobby, but she opposes me at every turn. I go to the range every week (no problem), but I was sick of renting and now I'm in the...

Yes If you are primarily shooting at the range, a single action trigger gives you the lightest pull possible which makes your shots a little more accurate because you don't have to work as hard to keep on target. For me, DA/SA is the way to go, like the Beretta or Taurus 92's. You can still...

I recently picked up a Beretta 92FS Inox and I love it. Now I want to find a few magazines that will compliment the Inox finish. I have seen on some pistols, for sale by private owners, magazines that have a silver finish on the floorplate of the magazine which matches the gun itself. Most of...

Any suggestions on where to buy any/all such foam inserts?

"If possible, handle them all and rent those you haven't shot before. One will be a clear winner." This is very, very true. You'll know. Wrap your hand around each one, maybe even find a place that will let you rent them, and at the end of the day, one will be the winner. You'll be thinking...

.38Special, As to the DA/DA vs. DAO question: Yes. With a DA/SA (like the Taurus PT92) trigger, the first shot (if not pre-cocked by your thumb) is long and a little heavy, and then subsequent shots are lighter and shorter. If you decock the pistol after taking a shot, it will revert the...
