    What gun for carrying on ranch/farm?

    I live in the suburbs, but if I had to spend some time on a ranch or farm, I'd probably retrofit a CZ-452 Scout with a full-sized stock to end up with a deadly accurate .22LR bolty with a 16" barrel. With the adult-sized stock, it would be a CZ-452 Carbine. Put some 1" Uncle Mike's swivels on...

    Great Gun Facts Infographic With Sources Cited

    Thank you for posting this info graphic. Folks, we have a duty to commit these numbers to memory and to share them intelligently with the GFW. Practice reciting these stats until you can rattle off one sound bite after another. The other side has been doing this for years with smoke and...

    Ruger LCR 22 + TALO laser vs. LCR 22 Crimson Trace Laser

    Another viable option is to simply replace the front sight with an aftermarket XS tritium sight, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Std-Dot-Tritium-Rug-Lcr/dp/B0035LVWN0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top It's about $65 and takes 10-15 minutes to install with the right tools. Almost all of the...

    Ruger LCR 22 + TALO laser vs. LCR 22 Crimson Trace Laser

    A pro for the TALO / Laser-Max is that it's easy to return the gun to stock. Looks like the laser kiss very easy to remove.

    Ruger LCR 22 + TALO laser vs. LCR 22 Crimson Trace Laser

    The main appeal of 22LR is the cheap ammo. WMR will make this gun too expensive to shoot regularly.

    Ruger LCR 22 + TALO laser vs. LCR 22 Crimson Trace Laser

    I'll add a few ideas of my own: TALO: - Con: Larger, bulkier - Con: May not fit in all holsters - Pro: Maintains softer grip - Con: Laser must be turned on - Pro: Laser is parallel to barrel CRIMSON: - Pro: Maintains overall size & shape - Pro: Fits in all LCR 22 holsters -...

    Ruger LCR 22 + TALO laser vs. LCR 22 Crimson Trace Laser

    I'm really liking the Ruger LCR 22 as my first CCW, but I'd want to get something with a laser. There are two choices. What are the pros/cons of each one? LCR 22 with TALO Laser LCR 22 with Crimson Trace Laser

    Educate me on different styles of concealed carry holsters

    Did a bit of research on my own, and it looks like small of back is a BAD choice. Apparently if you fall on your back, you can badly injure your spinal cord. Some police forces have banned them or are phasing them out. For deep concealment, something like a Guardian 32 ACP paired up with a...

    Educate me on different styles of concealed carry holsters

    Can someone give me a quick sketch of the different flavors of concealed carry holsters and the pros and cons of each? From the El Paso Saddlery site, I see the following choices: - strong side - dual position - cross draw - IWB - pocket - shoulder - paddle - small of back...

    Shooting with both eyes open

    Take up trap shooting! I taught myself to shoot trap with both eyes WIDE open. Once I started doing that, my scores went up, and I began to shoot 25's consistently from the 16 yard line. It took me about 6 months to really make the switch, shooting 2-3 rounds per weekend. I used a blurry spot...

    Opinions on El Paso Saddlery for holsters

    Curious if anyone has an opinion on the El Paso Saddlery for elegantly crafted holsters for concealed carry? I have one of their shotgun toe guards that I use for trap shooting, and it's one of my favorite shotgunning accessories. Very well crafted. http://www.epsaddlery.com/default.aspx I'm...

    Purchased my first handgun today: 1960 East German Makarov

    I have a feeling this old gun will outlast me! I take good care of all my guns (and guitars and amps), and I can't think of any reason why my small collection won't be viable 150 years from now. And that's how it should be. Steel, wood and iron wins out...until they inevitably lose the battle...

    Fresh start for an old Luger

    What kind of surface was the gun on for the "After" pictures? I've always wondered how that's done. It's one thing to use a woven mat type surface as a backdrop, or to photograph a gun outside on some weathered decking. But my favorite shots are like yours: on a pure white background that just...

    Suggestions for new 9mm?

    I say go "Old School". Heavy? Check. Durable? Check. Can hold 15+ rounds? Check, if you get the 32-round drum attachment. Under $650? Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

    Purchased my first handgun today: 1960 East German Makarov

    No worries! It's all good. ;) I've been having fun today researching accessories and spare parts for the Mak. I'm so glad I decided to get a Mak and not a pre-1968 Walther PPK .22LR. Sure, some day I WILL own a PPK .22LR, but for now, the Makarov will scratch my itch. I didn't realize how...

    .32ACP or .380

    What about something like a Polish P-64 instead? Then you can go with a a ballistically superior 9x18. These are very small guns but like everything from the Iron Curtain built like a tank.

    Purchased my first handgun today: 1960 East German Makarov

    Hehe! Well, it's a reasonable question...and a good answer from Arp32, too. First, you need to define what a "shooter" is. If I occasionally shoot my near collector-grade EG Mak, does that make it a shooter? It just seems a shame to keep a purdy gun locked up in a case 24/7. If I do get...

    Purchased my first handgun today: 1960 East German Makarov

    I really appreciate all the feedback, pro and con, on my new purchase. Although I am a little surprised at the strength of some of the negative comments and finger waggling. As noted, like 99% of the folks on this forum, I work hard for my money (although this gun was funded with winnings...

    Purchased my first handgun today: 1960 East German Makarov

    Wipers FTW! LOL. I never expected to quote another forum user who also likes the Wipers. "Follow Blind" was the first Wipers album I bought in early 1987; still remember the first time I listened to an entire Wipers album cover-to-cover. I was blown away. After "Over the Edge", my #2 pick is...
