    .357 magnum recoil question?

    My dad is strictly a wheelgun man...that said I hadn't shot any revolvers until he took me shooting recently and I LOVED the .357 BANG and recoil. Yeah it is noticable from a 38 or 38+p, but WOW what a fun round to shoot. I shot from a 4 inch S&W model 66 and a Rossi snubby and I really...

    1911 Limp wristing?

    I know this is a relatively common term out there, but I really don't get how you can limpwrist a gun...any gun, whether polymer or steel.

    First Handgun

    Glock 17 or 19, no external safety, which alot of people hate, but I love it. The 9mm is a great round for HD/SD also, I'm not taking anything away from the .40 round, but I think there is too much hype of the .40 over the 9 kool aid crews. The 9 is a lethal round, no doubt.

    Anyone only have a semi-auto for home defense?

    Due to just getting into guns within the past year I currently only have a Glock 19 in my nightstand with Gold Dot HPs and the wife has a S&W Model 66 in her nightstand with Gold Dot 38+Ps. I will have a Remington 870 within the year in case of armed intruders...plus pump shottys are just...

    Revolver for the wife

    Yeah I guess I will just have to get her out to shoot the 66 4 inch my dad gave me. If she likes it great, we will go out and get her one of her own...I will have to wait for my snub hehe.. Yeah the trigger pull is heavier on a revolver, but she is a novice at shooting so that is why I...

    Revolver for the wife

    I currently own a Glock 19 and a S&W model 66. I am currently looking to buy a revolver for my wife, I am in the military so when I deploy I like having the peace of mind that she is able to defend herself (will be moving to Illinois next week so this is for home defense only). I have only...

    What is the BEST polymer-framed handgun line (in your opinion)?

    "I look at Glocks the way I look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. I can't stand the fans but you can't help but like the team." Great analogy, and I hate the friggin Steelers. Glocks and XDs have my vote.

    Down Hill From Here

    Russia had a full scale overhaul of their government and monetary systems not too long ago and it didn't take them that long to get back on their feet...paranoid much?

    Chicago, When did this city become so anti?

    A petition to the Illinois state constitutional convention of 1922 called for the "suppression of the manufacture, transportation and sale of" concealable weapons "so far as private individuals are concerned." Other proposals made in the 1920s to ban firearms were linked with demands for the...

    From a self defense/combat standpoint: what's the deal with thumb safeties?

    Oh no doubt I definitely agree that the 9 mm cartridge is much cheaper to produce, hence it would make sense for the miltary to utilize it as opposed to the .45 ACP. I also understand that the plastic pistols are cheaper to mass produce so that makes sense, but isn't the Beretta M9 is a steel...

    From a self defense/combat standpoint: what's the deal with thumb safeties?

    "What is arguably the greatest combat pistol made" Maybe for it's time, but in my multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq no one was packin 1911s....if it is so great it would still be in service today. Yeah, yeah you can give me the shtick on contracts and military spending...blah...
