    Whats Your First Gun Experience?

    i was probably about 5 years old, or whenever i was old enough to concentrate on a gun long enough to shoot it. my grandpa had a marlin model 81 that he started me on. i must have killed every mountain lion, bear, wolf, and fictional monster on that mountain that was hiding behind the stumps...

    Anyone stuck on one gun company?

    if i had to pick one manufacturer that i could only buy guns from it would be cz (and by extension now dan wesson) and second would be fn. cz makes my favorite pistols by a long shot, their rifles are superb, and so are the shotguns... though i'd prefer remington in the shotgun department. the...

    Carry Handcuffs with CCW?

    just fyi, that's a face value look on nc. more of wording considering a regular joe isn't going to pull up to the sally port with someone or mirandize them... i'll list the statute below... i tend to advise people (who ask about it) they can detain someone if they witnessed a felony or violent...

    A few odd questions...

    i would think nicotine would do a better job at it (if either had any effect) since it's a relaxant/sedative (other than being classified a stimulant) that encourages dopamine, and some other processes that i don't recall.

    A few odd questions...

    1. i've never noticed a difference. sometimes i'll drink mostly non caffeinated drinks, other times i'll drink energy drinks, and i stay consistent either way. nicotine/dip hasn't really been a variable since it's a constant for me, but hasn't seemed to have a negative affect. 2. are we...

    Which Milsurp to start with?

    maybe i should expand my area of search. the k31's tend to be lower than that here, and the last m39 i saw my friend bought for about $200. i guess the prices in this area are just mixed in. the sniper models here go for $350 or more just depending on who has it. most of the mausers i see are...

    Which Milsurp to start with?

    where are you guys finding most of these rifles for $400 or less? maybe it's a regional thing, but the k31 is well within the budget, the mauser is pushing it, and the others are a good bit above. at least that's what i've been seeing the last few years. i mention maybe regional because friends...

    Night sights or a Light?

    i prefer a handheld light as opposed to mounted for the above mentioned reasons. i don't like giving a target right in front of myself... it may impair a shooters vision to see what's behind the light, but they can see where the light is. i like the modified fbi technique (with possible...

    A Matter of Choice, probably. Which one?

    ^ if it's the only gun you have you feel comfortable carrying i would change my vote for keeping the emp. btw, which 1911 are you looking at?

    A Matter of Choice, probably. Which one?

    i agree with your initial assessment. i thought it was fairly widely known the smaller the 1911 gets the less reliable they are. it has to do with the mass of the slide being decreased causing it to not go into battery, not strip the round from the mag reliably or something similar. seems like a...

    Favorite Short Action Round?

    .223/5.56... cheap, and fun to shoot.

    Win 94 or a Marlin 336? That is the question...

    i normally see these things go in favor of the winchester. congratulations on the pick up btw. the marlin has the better ergonomics, and i much prefer the lack of the lever safety (lower tang safety?) in the marlin, but my 94 shoots better than my 336 with open sights. can't say it's the same...

    Eyeglasses: where do I start?

    are you nearsighted or farsighted? if it's nearsightedness then you can get glasses to help you see distances more clearly, and the front sight won't be an issue regardless... vice versa with farsightedness. from what i recall farsightedness is more common with age than nearsightedness, and...

    Cor-Bon DPX disappointment

    ^ the difference in the weight and material of the corbon rounds have been mentioned too. the affect of the bullets weight acts differently out of shorter barrels than larger.

    357 vs grizzly

    i like when threads like this end up turning into semantics arguing, ignoring clarification posts in regards to what one meant, and who's the best biologist when it comes to nomenclature... i personally agree with those who say .44 or larger. if you have the option of being more secure with a...

    FBI order for 2,963 Glock 23's.

    no idea about recooping tooling, anything assembly line related, down time or anything else, but i can say with certainty the cost of the materials is $37.xx usd. :what:

    Cor-Bon DPX disappointment

    it may have to do with the dpx rounds being 80 grain as opposed to the 90 grains in the others... the link i posted talks about the differences in bullet weights for short barrels and expansion as opposed to how they act in full size barrels.
