Not sure if you’re already set up for 9mm. I’ve have an ar, but last year my son convinced me to buy a Beretta CX4 Storm In 9mm. I am an old school rifle guy and initially thought it looked too much like Star Wars. However, the gun is a hoot to shoot, extremely accurate and very ergonomic. It...

Another issue is who the pollsters work for. If an organization hires two highly qualified and ethical polling professionals and both polls come back with conflicting results, one positive to the groups ideals and one not so much, which poll results are going to be highlighted and which will be...

First gun was in1980, a Ruger standard 4" barrel for $100 from a friend. First gun from an LGS was a Beretta 950 Jetfire. That was from the Royal Gun Shop in Stoneham in 1981. I still have them.

I live behind the iron curtain in the People’s Republik of Massachusetts, (PROM) to us natives. The Massachusetts gun show prices are similar to posts above for everything but “banned assault weapons”. Those prices are through the roof! “Pre Ban” magazine prices would also astonish you folks...

Target Sports USA is a Godsend in the People’s Republik of Mass (PROM). Our freedom loving AG has sent letters to all online ammo dealers threatening prosecution for legal commerce to some of the most vetted people in the country, therefore, everyone I tried ordering from turned me down. Target...

Nylon 66. They use to advertise them in the Boy’s Life Scouting Magazine. A back story to my post is that my friend gave me an early ‘70’s Marlin Glenfield Model 60 that he could never get running correctly, and replaced it with the Nylon 66. That gun worked well for him. The Model 60 sat in...

I have a Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner that I use as a parts cleaner. I use a mix of 50% Simple Green and hot water; still using the Lyman tumbler for brass

Back in 1993, just before the federal assault weapons ban a friend of mine sold his guns to finance a return to graduate school. He sold: Colt AR15 Hbar (obviously pre ban) Ruger Red Label 20 ga O/U A Nylon 66 Beretta 92 His grandfathers Colt 1911 that he carried in WW 1, with a worn but intact...

Wow! ^^^^^ This is me but I’m only 68. I have switched from bullseye shooting to IDPA style and have scoped or red dotted my rifles. As many have mentioned “compensate” In the 1960’s there was an expression in drag racing, ‘Run what you brung!” That applies to old eyes at the range today.

Great prices. Wall Marts in MA stopped selling guns at least 10 years ago, and many do not sell ammo. The guns they did have were mostly 22's and single shot shotguns. K Mart was the same way. They do sell air rifles and paint ball stuff though. I'm going to get my grandson a Red Rider when...

I read an article (sorry, I can’t remember the citation), that the NRA needs insurance for the annual meeting, Whittington Center, and other programs, as well as coverage for writers of its publications. If the organization is unable to obtain insurance for activities then no activities. The...

Years ago A friend gave me a Model 60 because he could never get it running right. Initially I was really frustrated attempting to get it to run right. It languished in the back of the safe for years. I decided to make a challenge project out of it and alot of research (in which I discovered...

The summer prior to the 2016 presidential election I bought the 77-357 and a Henry Big Boy carbine in 357. I was fearful that if HRC was elected AR 15’s and most semi autos were in danger of being banned or confiscated, and there might be a run on bolt or lever action guns. So I was proactive...

+1 on the Python. Best revolver I've ever fired!

I would hesitate a guess that most members of this board prefer dumb guns with smart owners.

We had an ND on Cape Cod right before Christmas. A 3 yo got her father's pistol and shot herself in the hand. She survived but the dad is in deep trouble.

New Shooter, Lots of great advice above. What I would add is: where do you plan to shoot? As mentioned above a pistol is much more easily concealed than a long gun. Do you have access to a range? For 10 years we owned a condo in a city known for an anti gun stance. (We owned it for my wife's...

Thanks for writing these words. I believe you are blessed with having your dad's guns to keep with you as you make your own journey through life. Yesterday would have been my dad's 106th birthday. He died 6 months before his 60th birthday in 1970. He wasn't into guns but supported my interest in...

2 years ago this month I bought a GP 100 4 " stainless. It goes on every trip to the range. When the aliens finally arrive, the GP 100 will be the gun at my side. Congratulations on your purchase.

Situational awareness + my 2 Spyderco Enduras, one in my pocket and one in my right sock, and a Swiss Army "Tinker" have been with me around the States and the world. I've never had a problem with them in my stored luggage.
