    What caliber for crazed Chiuahuas, and porno invaders?

    I am thinking a .22 with some rat shot would do nicely. Those little dogs are fierce. This should send them packing though, probably the sound of the first shot would scatter them. Maybe a .22 starter pistol would be good?:)

    you want receipt with that?

    If your gun is stolen and recovered, you will have to provide the police with proof of ownership to get it back. I copy them, as the original heat transfer paper will fade quickly. I staple them to the original and leave them in the safe with the guns. One of my guns was stolen by a supposed...

    Are firearms your #1 hobby/activity?

    I am a new guy here, seems like a great forum and I intend to hang around. Firearms are not the only or most important hobby for me. I am into cars, and FW and SW fish. The cars usually come first. I have settled, I think, on a lifetime carry gun. A Glock 27 fits my needs, and I shoot it...

    Gun crimes..sex crimes..whatever...

    I am against the gun offender thing too. How about violent criminal? I check out the sexual predator registry in my town sometimes. Its amazing how many of them live in my zip code. I live on the nicer side of a midsized town. I let the kids look at it too, and tell them how close the...

    Cleaning grungy guns with water, then placing in oven?

    The frames of my Glocks have been through the dishwasher. Not something I do often at all, but its a good deep clean. Normally I just wipe the frame down, not much oil is needed.

    Man at Gun Show Shoots Himself in Bathroom (MN)

    Yes, its a pain to pull your pants up and fasten the belt with a holstered gun. Its probably worth it though, so you dont forget your gun in the restroom. Another solution I read was to drop it in your underwear while your pants are down so you cant forget about it. You still have the issue of...

    Taurus 85 CH revolver misfires? WWB primers?

    Thanks Bryan, I had hoped there was a way to make it reliable with the wolff springs. Anyone running light springs in a small frame having problems with the cheap Winchester practice ammo? Are these primers especially hard? If its only certain types of ammo that will cause a problem, then I...

    Taurus 85 CH revolver misfires? WWB primers?

    Originally, there were no misfires. The action would lock up on me every 100rds or so randomly. I had to open the cylinder to unlock it. I took it apart and did a F&B on the action, this was after I sent it back to Taurus as they were no help. While I was in there I cut a couple coils off...

    Gunsafe floor attachment methods?

    Thats a good plan. Run a lag bolt into a stud near the top and center of the safe. That way they cant use the height of the safe as a lever against your floor bolts. I use a hammer and finishing nail to locate a stud. Should be 16" on center. I tend to keep alot of rolled coins in the safe as...

    good gun to carry at work

    http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/ I use his products for P3AT in pocket. They work well with Levi's jeans and I am a small guy. The price is right and they are very fast access.

    Best handgun SHTF caliber and weight

    .45 acp, Glock 21 all the way, if it has to stay concealed for the time being. Otherwise I would go for a rifle if I knew I was going to a gunfight. My G27 is the always gun though. It would not be a bad contender in the SHTF scenario with the 29 rd mag on board. Normally I dont carry a...

    Principal Incapacitation Mechanism: Fear

    Hi all, I just signed up, but I have been shooting for the last 18 yrs or so. If a BG doesnt seem to be convinced that you can do alot of damage to him, simply aim and fire into his genital region. Even if you are fearless, you gotta protect the boys! I dont think they would even care if it...
