    Recoil problem please help!

    Hi TG....one of the things that worked for me was a lot of dry fire practice. Get some snap caps or something that will protect the firing pin and practice....A LOT. Be safe, make dang certain you are safe, then check again to make dang certain you are safe. Focus out like you have white...

    Good shooting glasses?

    I have been wearing the Ray-Ban aviator shooters with yellow lens. They are my favorite and since I wear the over the ear protectors, the small wire ear loops are really comfortable.

    What is today's "standard" police issue shotgun?

    My experience has been most agencies will use the 870 or Mossberg 590. I know Mossberg has been talking a lot about taking the lead in the LE market, but here in So Cal, I saw exclusively 870's. The agency I worked for (retired leo) had the 870's and I loved them. Still do, but for my own...

    Family enabling my addiction

    My wife has expressly told me she will "never infringe on your second amendments rights" or something to that degree.....I just cannot afford to express those rights right now :uhoh:

    Business owner surprises me!

    I agree with SniperX. There are some people out there that have no business with a CCW. It isn't about political opinion, it is about mindset. My sister is one I would have serious concerns about. Maybe one at home for self defense, but not in public. She would freak, brandish it, then they...

    need a good straight-up defensive wheelgun.

    Go to a range that rents different models and shoot the ones you are considering. I personally favor the 686, but the SP101 is an awesome gun. Seriously though, if you are really budget minded, there is nothing wrong at all with a .38. I carried an old Colt Cobra for years. It will get the...

    How would you run Top Shot?

    Agree with most on here. Less drama, more shooting. I hate listening to the whining in the house. Who cares if they don't get along? I don't care and don't wanna know about it. Just go shoot.

    Guns, tools or dangerous weapons? What is your view and why?

    It's a weapon. Gun's were originally designed for two purposes. Putting food on the table and killing your enemy. As firearms evolved, so did their uses. We started shooting for enjoyment, punching holes in paper and other shooting sports, skeet etc. What we call them is strictly semantics...

    How Do You Justify, In Your Mind, Large Gun Collections?

    I have two very distinct and different reasons for quantity and ownership. I have been shooting since I was about 9 and love it. I was a police officer for about 15 years and had an entire arsenal at my fingertips, so my personal collection was pretty nil. I retired more than a few years ago...

    OK, here are my choices.

    Nice post....I enjoy reading everyone's thoughts and opinions on this. I hope and pray the day never comes, but I absolutely plan on doing everything I can to protect, defend and feed my family. As for the original post, I will stick with what I have for the two guns. A .223 tac rifle is in...

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

    Hi all! Been hanging around for a while and finally got to this page. Love the forum, this place is never boring. I love to shoot and have been doing so since I was a little boy. I am retired law enforcement, having pushed a patrol car for about 15 years. I am very pro 2nd Amendment. I also...
