Nice Work! That was excellent. And very well written.

I found one link with a copy of the article including a mention of source as NRA files, and a place as Butte, Montana. Note the date is November 5, 2006. http://www.topix.net/forum/tucson/T7ENA0VOLIN4PRM3R/p78 I searched google for "Patricia Harrington" and Mossberg I put the name...

I was amazed to read that Adam Gopnik of the New Yorker would like ban handguns. Take a minute to get your breath back. Here's an excerpt: "Semi-automatic Glocks and Walthers, Cho’s weapons, are for killing people. They are not made for hunting, and it’s not easy to protect yourself...

Cornered Cat Thanks, Pax. A lot of great stuff here. Im particularly interested in the early stages, though. I guess Im wondering how much to show him and how much to discuss with him at this early stage when handling is too far off and range trips are years in the future. ...

I'm hoping to learn some approaches from the board for gradually teaching my active, curous 3-year old how to safely handle firearms. and eventually be comfortable with them as well as respectful. He's naturally curious and very energetic. A typical situation is something like this: I come home...

Thanks!! Thanks for all the replies!! You guys are the best. I really appreciate all the advice. You've given me a lot to think about. I'll post again with more questions or to let you know what I decide to do. Thanks!! Terence

yes!! I shoot the traditional style of 1911 better than anything else Ive shot -- sigs, glocks, berettas, walthers, XDs whatever. Something about the ergonomics of it just fits my hand. If someone made a polymer .45 that had the same proportions as a steel/aluminium .45, I'd be very interested...

Belt and Holster Thanks for the response. I got a good belt from Thebeltman.net, and I'm looking at getting a cowhide holster from High Noon, --the Closing Argument--so I think I got that covered. No spare tire yet!! 32 inch waist at the moment.

Little .45s.. Thanks for the response. Ive drooled over the Kimbers a time or two, but I've heard some worrying things about the reliability of the shortened .45s.. Thats what was making me look at some of the slightly larger models -- which had me worried about concealment. And then I got...

Hello Everyone, Im looking for some advice here about a possible CC pistol. Im considering this Para: http://www.paraord.com/product/product.html?id=36 My question is this: What is the hardest part of a 1911-style pistol to conceal? Is it the stocks? The reason I'm asking is...

EMP vs Para? Hi Great thread. Has anyone done any sort of comparison between the EMP and Para's Carry 9? Im sorta curious about how these two pistols stack up against eachother? Anyone shot or own both?

SW1911SC I just bought a SW1911SC in January. Its a terrific pistol. Shoots to point of aim, right out of the box. No FTF or FTE at all. Mostly WWB. I will never willingly part with it.

Thanks! Thanks for the reply. You make a very important point. I noticed myself that is IS the muzzle flip that I notice on my pistols that makes it harder to keep the sights aligned on the target. The rearward travel doesn't disorient nearly as much as the vertical displacment. I was...

control the recoil? Im very impressed by the video. Im a new shooter and Ive been to the range only a couple times with my 1911, which is a SW1911 SC, but I can't understand how you control the recoil to that extent. It doesn't seem possible to me. When I shoot, the barrel doesn't stay pointed...

Jack Reacher Books There's an author named Lee Child who writes a series about a guy named Jack Reacher. Reacher spends a lot of time carrying large amounts of lethal hardware around and doing really amazing things with it. The treatment of guns ranges from the impossible (Reacher cocks...
