    educate me on those not-so-expensive 9mm pistols

    About the only one in that range in 9mm is the Sigma VE from Smith. Excellent value for the money. Only gripe is the trigger and it's just a little stiff and long for anyone's likeing but, for the money (I paid $285 for it new!) it's IMPOSSIBLE to beat...... After that, Ruger's new 9 is...

    Miami Gun Fight

    I remember that incident quite clearly. Strong argument for why there should always be automatic weapons at hand for ANY LEO. This was a case in point. If I remember right, the younger officer had a snub nose revolver? Personally, I'm all for officers having AK-47's (high-quality of...

    9mm CCW Best One To Buy?

    Plenty of stuff out there but I often wonder about all the controversy that surrounds Kel-Tec if it's worth the risk.....any weapon that has to go through a "fluff and buff" when new in my opinion, isn't worth the money.....why should I have to do ANYTHING to make a weapon function reliably when...

    personal thoughts on open carry

    Pure choice here....I'm for it, if you so desire to do so.....me? I like concealed because I just don't want the hassle from friends and foes alike.....it's no one's business either way but to carry openly surely invites criticism, stares, perhaps hostility, perceptions, and even safety in...

    Taurus Problems

    What Press said early on is true in my case. In 1982 I bought a 4" Blued, Model 85 from Carter Country in Houston....paid I think around $160for it.....it was basically, a .38 service revolver if you will....nice looking revolver for the money but that's about where it ended... After 40...

    M16A1 vs M16A2

    A1 vs. A2 debate Can't tell you a thing of how they performed in combat, only at the range....the last time I fired an A1 was in 1980 in K-Bay at the range....I was doing my annual qualification for an air-winger....don't hate please! Turns out, this old, triangle-gripped, Viet-Nam Vintage...

    Stryker Vs. Center Fire

    Some do like Striker, some like hammer. Me? I like the one that goes bang every time but hey, I"m as deep as a saucer, as sharp as a butterknife....what can I say....:D

    Gun Store Stereotyping

    I'm sure that snubbie will survive the "beating" it took....just sounds like the guy is having a bad day AND stereotyping.....we all do to some extent regardless if it is fair or not.... For him to go off like that is a bit overboard....I'm sure you didn't slam it so hard that it won't...

    high-end factory precision rifles

    Buzz, Again, where in the paragraph did I malign or suggest that the relentless pursuit of tight groups was misguided? I appreciate the man's appreciation for the finer shooting things in life. I really do. I did not mean to impart or dissuade his desire to own fine craftsmanship in this...

    Gun Rescue

    Remove them, Immediately! Couple of phrases for you: Delta: They are ready when you are.... Air Tran: GO, there is NOTHING stopping you.... Rent a car, make the 2-day drive, enjoy the guns forever.... Ironically, it would be a crime to turn them over...trust me, the NYC police...

    high-end factory precision rifles

    Hey Buzz, I think you need to learn to comprehend English a bit better. No one was "hatin' on anything....It's called comedy.....and apparently you can't spot it......I'm not slamming any of those rifles but it's funny how people ramble on about 800 yard shots and probably are hard-pressed...

    Does watching those ADT Commericals make anyone else want to buy more guns?

    I actually worked for ADT a few years ago....2004...what a crock...trust me folks, it's the most over-priced one out there....they gouge people on their renewals each year..... For once, I would like to see truth in advertising...it would go something like this.... "Hello, this is Kevin...

    high-end factory precision rifles

    Precision Rifles Unless you like to spend scads of money, most "precision" rifles out of the box can be had for around $600-$900 per plus scope.....the need to buy Steyr and tell you pals you blew 3k is just flat out stooooopid..... All that crap about 1/4 MOA with the flux capacitor and the...

    surrealistic debate with former Marine

    Ahhhh....don't sweat it....I spent 4 years in the Marines (77-81) and have yet to wear it like a badge....it's something I did a long time ago and probably for some different reasons.....I'm proud of the military to be sure and wish all that serve the absolute very best but for the most part, my...
