I have to say, they beat those 1911s with an ugly stick.

No, we do not allow carry on scene or on property unless you are L.E. These are some of our reasons: 1. You have a radio. It is not your emergency. If things look like they could go south, retreat and set up staging. Get on the radio and get L.E. on scene. 2. What if you are on a scene and a...

How about the Cheytac M-200 in Shooter? Sort of off topic, but in Hurt Locker, the scene with Sanborn shooting the terrorists with the M107 was probably the best scene for that movie.

I am surprised no one has said fishing... Especially fly fishing. Nothing feels greater than crafting your own fly out of random materials, going out to a pristine river and catching a beautiful rainbow. Calms the soul, if you ask me. :cool: I love outdoor traditions. Whenever I see some old...

Conversation kinda went like this.... Me: Can I get twenty in gas and a can of Timberwolf lon....... How much for the .45 ammo? Clerk: $21.50. Me: Ok, can I get twenty in gas, can of Timberwolf long cut, a box of .45s...oooo Dorito's....wait....you have any .308 rifles? Clerk: Yes...

I have been paying 21.50 a box for FMJs. Granted, it is Blazer but is easily accessible at a small town, locally owned gas station. The owner's son just became a gunsmith so he runs his shop in the back room. Kind of weird at first to pump gas, get some snacks, then look at guns but I got the...

My 1st! I just got this Rock Island a couple days ago. I have never shot a .45 before so I don't think I did too bad. Now I just need to have the sights adjusted. Sorry for the cell phone pic.:cool:

I came across these today after a guy at work told me to check out this video. Little pricey, but my eyeballs are worth it. :) I plan on getting me a pair. Video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mbDokgXmFA Website- http://www.revisioneyewear.com/

NWTF promotes a maximum of a 40 yard shot to ethically kill a turkey. This distance can increase if you use a 3 1/2" shell, though. Prime pattern is 100 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards. You should get about 25% pellets in the 10" circle with 2 oz #6. 25% for #5s and 35% for #6s. The lighter...

Yes, I think we should carry. Even though it is a slightly greater chance, it boils down to the chance is still there. I guess I should explain my pointless points better... :o I'll just blame it on being up late and coming up with weird ideas. That's my story and I am sticking to it. :neener:

This got me thinking. May be pointless, but I like numbers... On average, there are more than 272,000,000 visitors to national parks. I would imagine that number has increased since. Now, in 2009, there were 287 people struck by lightning. According to the article, your chances of being a...

I came across a .22 today at a gun show. The guy behind the booth new nothing about it, but had it for sale for $200. I didn't take up on it because I have enough .22s but it sure sparked some interest. He had part of a copy of the advertisement and it was priced for $14.95 along with an e-mail...

If it was me and I was buying mainly for HD, I would just go around and look and try to find something that me and my significant other would be comfortable with for the right price. With HD, I don't think the shell size really matters as you aren't really trying to "reach out" with it. I find...

Thanks for the answers! I actually already have one but it is in Kansas at my dad's house. I always thought it was worth a little bit of change and didn't want to take any chances with it because it is in really good condition and the sentimental value of it is beyond what someone would offer. I...

I was told about a .410/22 Savage O/U for sale for $100. I don't know the condition of the gun. I was told the problem with it is it has no serial numbers. If I remember correctly, most of them did not have serial numbers because these are generally older guns. Does that sound right? I was told...
