I think people are blowing this lock thing way out of proportion. Of all the locked Smiths out there I bet you can literally count on one hand the amount of failures that have occurred. I personally know about 7 people that altogether have purchased a total of about 14 locked Smiths and not...

Well, my birthday is around the corner and it's time to get my wish list going for my significant other to browse through :P I was really considering getting a semi-auto after a buddy of mine picked up an plastic XD9. 1911s were up top on my list but I got pulled back into wanting another...

I advertise my gun ownership on my nightstand.

Hey all, I have a question for those who are familiar with California law. How am I supposed to transport my firearm if I'm on my bike? I don't have side-saddle luggage (it's a sport bike) so it would have to go in my backpack. I know the most logical solution would be to just take my truck...

Funny you should call a Mossberg 500 bottom shelf and recommend the 870 express when it's a model that Remington cut corners with by putting in cheaper parts. From what I understand the 500 and 870 are considered equal in value and usability. If the 500 was considered a "throw-away" gun then I...

Since you asked: Definitions for firearm from wikipedia "A firearm is a device that can be used as a weapon that fires either single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced through rapid, confined burning of a propellant. This process of rapid burning is...

Yeah, I doubt they recorded any of the data. I don't think the 44 mag would have done that much damage to the gel if it were a fresh cube.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought it was pretty interesting. It's a video of different caliber rounds being fired into ballistic gelatin. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=21a_1195417549

:neener: Unfortunately, there's no one that makes the coffee for us. I'm in Quality Assurance.

I think by definition a gun is a weapon that shoots projectiles. Notice that paintball guns, pellet guns, airsoft guns all include the word "gun". However, a firearm is something that shoots high velocity projectiles via fast burning propellant. A firearm can be a gun but not all guns are...

Sent you an email about preordering.

Ah okay, I'll be visiting him sometime next week I think, I'll check it out. Glad you could retire early! Unfortunately, I don't know where my money goes. It seems to magically disappear every weekend :( I guess you may not be as old as I thought :rolleyes: The name's Will.

Yeah, maybe when I retire I'll move out of this place, but I've got a loooong way to go before that happens. I'm really a city boy though and being 30 miles from a stop light would drive me crazy. But who knows, things may change when I get a bit older. Then again, maybe by an odd twist of...

Have you tried cleaning/oiling the ejector rod? My GP had a similar issue where the ejector rod didn't feel smooth pushing out, but after a scrub with solvent and a little coat of oil it works fine.

You must not have many homeless people in your area. I generally get haggled for money every time I go to pump. I tell them I have no cash and they leave me alone. You handled it fine, but I'm a firm believer in NOT giving beggars money.
