LOL You guys are way funny and cool!!! I do plan to reply to a few of your posts since I was last here. I'm in the process of moving and am busier than a one armed blonde paper hanger. hahaha (Isn't that the way it goes?) I've had a lot of fun reading your posts and the more I read the more...

PS..I really really really did learn a lot and the biggest thing I learned was how much I STILL need to learn. I think this is a wonderful forum and again just want to thank everyone who so graciously responded to my initial post, which was intended to be helpful. I'm looking forward to knowing...

Hi Adam! The gun you have pictured is exactly like the .38 I own that I had to have de-cocked, with the exception that it has pink grips on it currently. I've been googling decocking guns since beginning this thread and have found articles stating that "decocking a loaded SA gun is one of the...

Gosh! Are there some statistics on this? That's interesting. I would rather have a sawed- off shotgun. I do have a Daisy Ryder BB gun that you pump. But you can't even shoot one of those in the city limits where I live. I am with you on the women with guns. And I think it's great that they have...

Raskol...I don't think that Tuner actually meant to drop your gun. I think he was just making a point that it is more difficult than one thinks....etc. I would never drop my gun on purpose. I won't even dry fire it. LOL

I guess it's a good thing I didn't hit it then isn't it. Even if I had shot it I doubt that anyone would have cared unless I had taken it to a taxidermist to have stuffed. LOL But I did manage to scare it that day. For some reason this reminds me of a story I heard just yesterday. A waitress...

Johnny....I was on my ranch back in Texas when this occurred. I was a licensed wild animal rehabilitator there and this was a little squirrel I had raised and released behind the house. It took up residence in a hole way up on the trunk of an old oak tree just a few feet from the back porch. I...

That was really great, Tuner. Until you posted that I really didn't have a clear understanding of how the safety feature worked. That was a very good and easy to follow explanation. Thanks!!! I really do know I've learned a lot of things from this and still I am a firm believer that no...

Griz...I'm going to change my original post to reflect your modifications. Thanks!!!! :)

Tuner...have you seen this old classic that S&W is making? You need to order this: Only $6,500..... ;)

BC....I'm going to join a gun club. A lot of my friends who were never raised around guns are joining gun clubs now so they can get a gun and learn how to use it. It just amazes me how afraid people are of guns here. But then I know how important it is to use precaution. Just reading all the...

LOL Thanks Tuner! What would I do without you? ;) D~oh!!!! Okay...mine is definitely not an SA then. hahaha I haven't had one of those since I had my first real gun: a .22 pistol my grandpa gave me when I was just a kid. I loved that little gun. I honestly don't recall ever having a problem...

Sorry to confuse you. I had posted this earlier...not the pic, but the info. I have this ordered. It's an S&W M&P9 - JG

NavyLt....salutes! :) Thanks for the pic and advise about safety. Back home I was in my kitchen one day and had the back door open when a red-tailed hawk swooped down to pick up my baby squirrel off the ground. I picked up my gun and shot it from inside the house. My ears rang for three days so...

Thanks RC! I have practiced this a few times today and it's really no big deal but it's nice to know about the extra safety systems. Still.....I don't plan on cocking it while loaded again. This isn't really my favorite gun I've ever owned. I'm waiting for my new pistol to come in and wishing...
