    Screw CT!

    Wow, this is terrible. I'm in a small rural town in CT... I just filled out the basic forms, did my fingerprinting, and had my permit four weeks to the day I dropped off my info. You must live in the burbs or a city. CT doesn't suck, its your local government, the state legislature isn't...

    Taurus or EAA 38 super?

    I can't speak on the EAA or the Taurus 1911, but I do own a PT-38s, and it is a great gun. It is the most accurate gun I own and has a really nice trigger pull, good sights, feeds excellently, and simple to take down and clean. I especially like the decocking feature and thumb safety for carry...

    How many guns did you buy in 2009?

    Bought five guns (what I voted), inherited two, and will probably buy another before the year is up. This is my first year with my permit so I had a lot of catching up to do. Next year won't come near that number.

    S&W M&P, Thoughts, issues

    I have the M&P9c and think it's a fantastic gun. Reliably feeds, feels good in hand, shoots +P ammo, easy to strip and clean, good magazine capacity. If you want one, go for it, you wont regret it. I have no need for mine anymore really, but I just cant bring myself to sell it.

    Ruger LCR, just bought one

    geronimo509, yes you can put an XS Big Dot on it, probably the way I'm going to go. Check their website you can get it for $60. I'll have a gunsmith do it though because it involves a bonding agent and I heard you can permanently damage the gun because the factory sight is tough to take off.

    Ruger LCR, just bought one

    Well, fired this puppy for the 1st time on Saturday... fired some commercial reloads from a local company, 125 grain. Also tested some Federal Hydrashok 125gr +P and Speer GDHP 135gr +P. My accuracy with gun is terrible, especially with the +P loads. With the standard pressure 125gr rounds I...

    Want to be Angry?

    Dark Knight I think the point is there is a such thing as a "prohibited person" and "banned items", not so much as these people who are deemed by the government to not have rights and having access to items banned but constitutionally protected to be in circulation.

    Ruger LCR, just bought one

    I didn't like the look when they first came out this year, but they grew on me. Now I think it's the most beautiful snub. If my local range is open this weekend (not sure about their holiday schedule) I'll post my shooting results.

    Ruger LCR, just bought one

    Hey boys I just picked up an LCR today. This thing is looking pretty nice. I haven't fired it yet but did watch reviews of them and I dry fired it myself and really really like the trigger pull. This is my 2nd revolver and compared to my GP-101 pulling through the double action is actually...

    How to convert your liberal friends (to win next election)

    Oldskoolfan, point well taken and I was unaware of those facts (don't blame me I'm only 24, I don't remember much before Clinton) however I will point out the first ever Federal gun control NFA of 1934 was signed by FDR and the GCA of 1968 was signed by LBJ. Those are the two most important gun...

    How to convert your liberal friends (to win next election)

    ^ They have bad reputations but Pelosi is on record THIS YEAR saying no new gun laws and Reid brought the Thune Amendment on carry reciprocity to the Senate floor where it fell by ONE SINGLE vote. I'm no Democrat or liberal but I do not fear this Democratic congress restricting our gun rights...

    Is Your Favorite Hobby Firearms?

    Yeah it's my number 1 hobby. Guns/shooting/reloading is my favorite. I also like collecting coins/old US currency ($2 bills/Gold or silver certificates)/foreign currency, collecting sneakers, and playing spades.

    38 Super reloading question(s)

    atblis, I'm loading Hornady 115gr FMJs. I believe the case mouth max dimensions listed in my manual is .386". .381" is what I'm getting around and Walkalong already replied he's getting .380"-.381". I'm going to try loading a few more rounds tonight and see if I can get that seater straight...

    How to convert your liberal friends (to win next election)

    ^ Not to mention right to carry reciprocity failed by ONE vote in the Senate. That should get through next year because in my state CT, Dodd will lose and he voted against. Should be able to get 60 next year if they bring up the Thune Amendment again.

    How to convert your liberal friends (to win next election)

    What are we trying to win here exactly? I'm a conservative but even with the Democrat congress I don't see gun rights being restricted on a federal level. Besides Obama, the most prominent Democrats (Pelosi & Reid) are pro-2A. I would like the Republicans to win the next election based off of...

    Do you think the average gangbanger practices shooting?

    The answer is no. The average gangbanger doesn't even have a gun. Their selection is also pretty poor... 22s, 25s, 32s... 9mm is some of the most powerful stuff they have. I'm talking street gangs not organized crime like the Italian, Russian, or Japanese mob. In these gangs I'm sure they have a...

    38 Super reloading question(s)

    Seated waaay to deep, or the brass was crushed because I tried seating a bullet with the case mouth expanded too little. I do want a little crimp, and I'm getting it fine. The case mouth is always .381-.382 or so. The length is my problem but I think the way you explained it helps. The...

    38 Super reloading question(s)

    Hey boys I'm back here. I just got all my components on Saturday and began reloading yesterday. About 25 or so cartridges I attempted to reload but kept messing up on overall length. I *think* I know how to adjust the dies to get it right... I think anyways... I have 2 acceptable cartridges and...

    Which semi-auto pistol would you bet your life on out the box?

    I'm not particularly a fan for carrying Glocks but they are the AK's of auto pistols, so if I had to pick a pistol out of thin air before going to danger it would be the full size 10mm Glock.

    Does anyone ccw a full size M&P?

    I used to carry a M&P9c (still own it/shoot it), now a full sized Taurus PT38S... The M&P is a great shooting gun and in my experience width makes more of a difference in comfortability than overall size, in which case if I had to do it over again I'd have bought the full size. I say go for it.
