    Cottonmouth Vs Kel Tec

    I agree with you on how you handle snakes. Now, if that were a rattler it would be some good eating. It was some good shooting. Glad to hear you saw it first.

    Thank you, that was fantastic. I wonder what kind of stories they went home and told to those that would listen. :D

    How to Practice With a 1911?

    I carried the 1911 for 15 years in the Navy. Until then, I was used to revolvers. For me it was practice, practice, practice until it became second nature. Like Kleanbore, I release the safety as I present the firearm (after it has cleared my body) keeping my finger along the trigger guard until...

    Romantic gestures

    My wife enjoyed shooting my 10/22; however, she found it boring just poking holes in paper. I picked up a set of spinners and a can of orange spray paint the next time we went out. When we got to the range I sat the spinners out about 25 yards, gave her a brick of 22s and she left me alone. She...

    This is my RIA Tactical. No FTF or FTE from what I have put through it. Very smooth and fun to shoot. No comment on the half cock, sorry.

    Anxiety Over 6 Year Old Learning Handguns...

    This is an excellent forum. As a grandfather the information is of most importance. I have saved the links and look forward to reviewing the information so I can pass the info to my grandkids. The High Road and all concerned have again taken the initiative to stand out above all others in...

    Buckmark and Ammo

    I have Buckmark Camper in SS. I have never had a FTF or FTE on any ammo. I have put Federal bulk, American Eagle, and CCI Mini-Mag through it with no issues. It likes the CCI best for accuracy. It is like a Timex, takes a licking and keeps on ticking. It really puts a smile on my face. :)

    410 how hard does it kick?

    I agree with a lot that has been said about the 410 shotguns. Youth models would be a good choice. As a start, I would suggest a trip to a Local Gun Store and see what is a available. Take your time and shop around. In the mean time get a couple cans of a good wasp spray. They have a reach of...

    Learned a big leason today! Very humbled (long)

    “As to my main point, please learn from my own stupidity.” This is one of my pet peeves. I personally do not like the word “stupid”. Stupid is when you know something is wrong and you continue to do it hoping to get different results. Sort of like the definition of insanity. Ignorance is...

    Glock for home defense

    I am not an expert with the Glock nor am I an expert on what is best for you. What I would recommend you do is go to a local gun store that offers a range and rental program. Rent each of the handguns you are interested in and then, after handling and firing each firearm, you will be in a better...

    Top 3 handguns and why?

    My favorite 3 are the 3 that I currently own. 1. Browning Buckmark Camper SS – fun to shoot, inexpensive to maintain¸ and very accurate. Another advantage is it allows me to practice target accusation and trigger control for a fraction of the cost which has the added benefit of transferring...
