    Guns that "just feel right"...right out of the box.

    Springfield XD, Beretta 92FS, my old CZ82, my uncles Russian Makarov, don't know the model.

    Why do you like guns?

    I've liked guns since I was little and my Grandpa taught me about shooting his snubby 38 while he held my hands. Next year was a 410. Then a 16 ga. Then Dad's 357 Ruger GP101. Then at 22 I bought a Mosin Nagant M44....and from there on started having guns of my own. I would have sooner but...

    Why is old gun collecting better than old car collecting?

    I don't have that many guns, and my car is a 2012 Eclipse....but I can only enjoy one car per day, and for so long before I have to buy gas, or have simply run out of places to go. I can take ALL my guns in that car, and enjoy ALL of them all day long. I can fit many firearms and plenty of...

    If You Could Only Have Five Guns ...

    I will try to be realistic. 1) Pistol - Beretta 92FS. 2) Pistol - Colt 1911 45ACP. 3) Rifle - Colt or Rock River AR-15 in 5.56. 4) Rifle - Zastava N-PAP AK 5) Rifle - Marlin Model 39A 22LR Reasons - I own an XD 9mm. I liked my friends Beretta more. Never owned a 1911, but I...

    Gun Free?

    I must have missed this. I don't like coffee, so me boycotting them doesn't mean much. But I actually read the news, so maybe a lot of other people who DO like coffee missed it as well. I'll double check and then spread it around.

    how do you meet fellow gun owners?

    I meet some through work. I used to post on a local forum, but I didn't care for the content there anymore so I went searching for somewhere else and landed here. I never really made friends with anyone on there though. I actually took my CHL class with my supervisor and one of the chaplains...

    How to respond to "Why do you have a gun" while OC

    I have only been able to OC one time, when I was visiting Arizona. I called the Phoenix PD ahead and asked about the specifics, and it was the common sense stuff you'd expect...plus not to carry it into "Tuscon or other yuppie Obama voter areas because they'll call us on you and it's just a big...

    Do you CCW a new or used pistol?

    I have had my XD for five years, I bought it new for work. At the time I drove an armored car. I trust it completely, it has never let me down in any way, and I've probably fired a thousand rounds through it. I don't have as much time to go shooting as I used to. I bought my Bersa Thunder...

    Capacity VS Caliber - Home Defense

    I keep my XD 9mm loaded with hollow points next to the bed. I'm hoping the HP expansion will keep them from penetrating too far into the walls, or the next apartment.

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Hello from the Texas Pandhandle. I'm interested in handguns and AKs. I work as a security guard in one of our hospitals, and do some random side jobs whenever I can get them. Right now I work in a restaurant doing prep, and delivery for a few hours a day, and I enjoy that. I am...
