I finally saw one of the H&R 45 cal single-shot rifles that I've been looking for at a local gun store. It was so ugly you could've glued boogers all over it and it would have improved it. It was so heavy I thought about putting wheels and a trailer hitch on it. The best thing I can say about...

Is it easy to open one-handed?

Dang. That thing almost looks like it came out of a Halloween candy bag (IMHO of course).

The gun in picture 4 is AWESOME. The gun in picture 9 is pretty. IMHO, of course.

Once I was at a range and heard this very loud rapid fire shooting coming from way at the other end of the table. I thought, "Holy Cow, that guy must have a huge semi-auto pistol of some kind." I walk down to the other end, and there's this skinny little old man with long silvery gray hair...

Oh, and not to hijack this thread, but for personal reasons, I'm interested in knowing how many of people's various injuries that led to their use of canes for mobility were likely related to old high-school or college sports injuries--football for example. Just curious, and thanks for any replies.

My wife and I often walk on a busy street near our house. It's a main highway really through a combination business/residential neighborhood. The street is 4 lanes and busy enough, especially during rush hour, that most bike riders stick to the sidewalks. Frequently, a bicyclist will zoom past...

I would be willing to give a pretty good chunk of change for this gun. The original S & W M+P pre-model 10 from the old Superman TV series intro:

Hmmmm, "Must have". Well, if you mean the gun that you shoot the most, that gives you the most satisfaction, that could be used to save your bacon (in more ways than one), will last several lifetimes, and is a work of art, for me that would be a quality over-and-under shotgun (pick your fav...

IMHO, this is perfect. Now that it has Hogue Bantam grips on it, it's even more perfect.

Check on 7/8 inch diameter aluminum pipe with rubber cane tips on the end if you want. Very light, strong, good feeling in the hand. We have 48 inchers for hiking. It would be possible to "load" one end inside possibly without too much difficulty if desired. Any number of possible ways to do it.

No offense intended, but everytime I see one of these threads, I always wonder if the original poster is a journalist. ;-) I don't recommend anyone doing it, but it's possible to go to almost any hardware store and pick up about a 5-foot-long 7/8ths inch diameter length of hardened aluminum...

Gordy: No, I don't still have the Remington .41 RF derringer. Within 24 hours of buying it, it magically got turned into one of the first S&W Model 629 44Mag revolvers to be manufactured.

We think having pets is great. However, for some reason my wife is an aggressive dog magnet, and has been bitten in our neighborhood while simply strolling down the sidewalk. I also have teeth marks on my bicep from many years ago. There is a leash law in our town, and both of those dogs, and...

Very old Remington .41 Rimfire derringer at a garage sale for $15. They told me it was a "non-working replica". Wrong.
