    Did You Ever Do Something Stupid, like......

    Never participated but i knew a bunch of kids who would routinely spend a few hours throwing 22's at a wall trying to get them to fire. They never got any to go off, if they did they might have crowned the Darwin award winner for that year.

    New walmart ammo: orange/black swiss made ammunition

    yep, my walmart had a bunch a few weeks back selling for 16 a box. Shot through 200 rounds of it today, good stuff. Worked well in my guns and I bought it for range use anyway. Not going to ever be my SD ammo but good for the range when everything else is sold out. Seems it is being reduced...

    What is this?

    I see these installed on a ton of peoples AR's. I have no idea what they do and am curious as to the purpose of using one. The item description on Magpul's website does not clear anything up.

    Wish Lists?

    Have my eye on an older Smith and Wesson model 10. Would like to get started on a trust and get an SBR and SBS. Remington Rand 1911 FN SLP Remingotn 700 Police .308 and the list can go on and on, but I will stop because I am getting depressed because I don't have enough money to buy my...

    Secure gun safe for $1000 a reality?

    With external hinges bad guys could cut them, but I would think having the bolts on the 3 of the 4 sides would still make it difficult to get into the safe. And if the bad guys have this amount of time and noise to get in then I would think having internal hinges wouldn't bother them that much.

    Which Ruger auto?

    Another vote for P-95. It was not my first 9mm, or polymer for that matter but I would have been just as happy if it was. Its a great little gun, very accurate, I find my follow up shots to be a little faster with this gun than with some of my others. Like you said about knocking it around...

    Pistol for the wife to use

    Another vote for the P95. Like Kingofthehill, has already said, very low recoil compared to other 9's I have shot. Gets back on target very fast for quick follow up shots. Has a large comfortable grip, personally I use a Hogue slip on grip and it turns into a glove for me. And as an added...

    Does anybody else like recoil?

    If your going to shoot might as well know that your shooting something. Gotta love a little kick, or a lot in some cases. Also as a little kid shooting my father's .30-06 I would use the recoil as motivation. As a kid it hurt, so before I pulled the trigger I thought have to make each shot...

    Should I trade my Winchester 94 for a Steyr M9-A1

    From my personal experience I found trading things makes me happy for the moment I get the new gun. I am all excited but when the "newness" runs out then I am left regretting my decision to trade. I also am in school and money is an issue but i found it is much more beneficial to suffer...

    Bringing a knife bayonet through customs

    +1 for packing it in your checked luggage. Traveled Europe a few years back and bought a few knifes/swords. Traveling through different countries I thought would be a problem carrying these. Only hassle was getting back on the Chunnel train from France to England. Security stopped our...

    How about Best SD implement under $20.

    19^^^ just a little FYI I have heard of a few stories of people being arrested for having tire thumpers in the car with them. From what I hear cops don't look to kindly on people who carry these.

    Range Pictures and your Favorite Shooting Irons

    I will be back to post some pics later, but quick question, What is the purpose of the Carry handle mounted underneath the barrel? Do you use it still as a handle or is it a back up iron sight? PS nice looking guns

    Good Guns to get- but which one?

    Ya just taking into consideration availability, I would get the M1. I don't see to many of them hanging around in my area. The others on your list seem to me, easier to find.

    Open Carry = Good; Open Stupidity = Not Good

    Hollywoods obsession with hammer cocking sound!

    Just watched Zombie Land, and they cock the lever gun, and shotguns over and over and over and over. It drives me nuts, how hard is it to have a guy on set that knows a little about guns?

    New Tv show, "Justified", has realistic shooting scenarios

    It's a good show, and keeps it more realistic than then average program. As BIGBOY^^ said SOUTHLAND also does a pretty good job, seems they hired a bunch of cops to give advice on how realistic the scenes are.
