Sucks.. I doubt I could ever trust a gun that has been back to the factory three times. Especially for issues that render it inoperable.

Murphy's - I've had that done to me before. Loaded. Not fun.

Thanks for all the input guys. I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I just want to make sure I know of any unspoken rules since the only time I've shot was with a group of friends and the next time will likely be with strangers. I just don't want to jumped on for something that likely wouldn't...

Some of you may have read my other thread about having shot skeet for the first time and having a blast. I went with a group of friends and no one pestered, ridiculed or harassed anyone. While researching to make sure I had the rules and etiquette down I noticed quite a trend of stories about...

I have considered a used 1100, but I don't enjoy the hassle of tracking down a good used gun. I've been Thinking about it, and I think I would be better off buying a nice vest, some solid low profile earmuffs, a bunch of shells and rounds of skeet than a new gun for now. Thanks for the input...

Oh, don't I know it! Sorry, important info I forgot there. Skeet.

And I need a new gun now. I had more fun shooting skeet than I have with any other shooting sport I've ever tried. :) I was using my 500 with 28" and IC choke. I did OK, but seeing some of the guns out there made me drool. Synergys, fancy autos.. I would really like to get a nice semi...

I have a SR9, not C and the trigger had grittiness also. I decided to skip sending it to Ruger and make it better. I ordered the drop in trigger bar from Ghost Maker and WOW did it make a difference. It now has an amazing trigger, it got lighter and smoother. If this is your CCW I would be...

Hey everyone, long time no post. I finally decided on getting my chl and the gun to do it with. I came home from the gunshow with a prize. :) Kahr CM9 for $405. I think this was a great deal with no ffl fees and no shipping! Broke it down and cleaned it up. Kahr puts more oil on a...

I would also recommend the 6.8 spc with a nice muzzlebreak.

Wish the poll would allow multiple choices. For me it was family and the magazines they had around the house. Flipping through and seeing all the neat rifles and pistols, and having shot them before. (and being taught properly by said family) From there I saw one I really liked (.22 magnum...

Wow, thanks for all the responses guys. Robert, I will certainly take a look at Gasset's work. Thanks. Cottswald, thank you. This is certainly a powerful thought. I can end it in a few seconds and savor every piece of meat or the animal can be torn apart while still breathing. Interesting...

Thanks guys. Ugly, I understand how hunters perform a very important task in the ecosystem. Also I feel much better about meat that lived a normal, wild, life than meat that was kept in feed lots and killed with a bolt gun. I guess I won't really know how I feel about shooting one until I...

Hey everyone, I am a bit confused and figured you guys are the best to asks this to. So left me preface this by saying I have been hunting with relatives about twice a year for few years now, but this was really my first year of having my own rifle set up and everything. Anyways, last night...

Wow! Even if the photo is a bit 'set up' it is still one of the most impressive deer I've seen from the hill country. Nice job!
