I think Ted Nugent is a guy that the hunting/shooting crowd can appreciate and ignore any of his "stranger" side. The show he ran (don't know if it's still on) for awhile about hunting was actually pretty good I thought. However, I agree he's just not the guy to represent us hunters and sport...

Aryfrosty is 100% correct. The military some years ago began making this distinction and it usually results in UCMJ (punishment) whether there is an injury or not. It sounds so much more innocent when one claims there ignorance is an "accident", especially an adult. In this case there are two...

Another 9mm revolver that I have always liked, but they seem to be rare (maybe no one wants to part with them like the 547s) is the Ruger speed six, hope to find one with 4" tube one day. They made it in SS too, I beleive. Anyone here have one? Please include a picture if you do!

I would be very interested to hear if it is ever determined exactly how the weapon got loaded. As has been mentioned the violation of rule #1 resulted in this bit of negligence, which brings me to a subject near and dear to my heart. It is unimportant if an "antigunner" tried to plant a round...

Ridgeway, Hang on to those 547s, they are getting hard to find! I've got a 4", but want a 3", hopefully I'll get one when I'm back stateside someday. I understand that you want to go easy on the loads; I'm of the same mind. I think an updated SS and round butt version 4" HB would be a great...

Bring Back the 547! I'm going to weigh in again on the 9mm. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stack it against .38/.357, but contrast it to them. You can "dislike" 9mm all you want to, it's been around, and if it were as bad as some say, it wouldn't have the serviceability and longevity...

S&W Model 619 ...And it looks like this. Unfortunately, S&W doesn't list it on their products page, afraid they've dropped it. Reminds me of the Model 10 HB, only in .357 Mag. (and it's an L frame; those aren't issue grips by the way). I got a good deal on it brand new, unbelievably in...

Hey Helter Skelter, are you trying to tell me that .38 Special is more powerful than 9MM? That's maybe the best reason for a 9MM revolver, it could bridge the gap between 38 +P and .357 Mag. Standard 9MM still outperforms .38+P and have you ever seen 9MM in a speedloader? Perfect size, great...

S & w 547 I vote "yes" and in a big way. I've always thought it was strange that 9MM revolvers never caught on, even in Europe. I have a Smith & Wesson Model 547, and it's one of my favorite revolvers of all time. Amazing design, requires no half-moon clips, and you can still find HKS...

Whoa, I'd have to hear the complete story on that one. The ONLY way that I wouldn't lay blame on the operators are if those weapons rusted from the last time they had to clean them, which should have been within at least 12-24 hours. Even in combat, you must clean your weapon, if only to give...

Hey Stan, I'm with you and CZguy, please don't get me wrong. Personally, I think the German prufe-meister is just being anal, or picking on the American, which is not uncommon. I have fired hundreds of shells through my Red Label, and even with my current situation, I still want to keep it...

Thanks Tom. I've emailed from their help section, calling times are a bit of an issue from here. I trust Ruger pretty much, although I've never had a severe problem from their firearms. I once had a cracked stock on my laminated 10/22 T and thought it was the fault of a careless US Army...

Red Label I see this thread is a bit old, but I'm hoping to revive it a little. I bought a Red Label in '97 and for about a year, shared it with a friend and shot a substantial amount of trap and skeet and did some hunting as well. After being reassigned to Germany in '98, I fired it less...

Great buy, Tommygunn. I'm a big fan of the MarkI/II/III Ruger's. I've had a few, and really want a MarkIII. I think they may be the best .22 auto pistols on the market. I have a MarkII target right now, and cannot upgrade since I live in Germany, new guns are problematic here, for lots of...

Davis .380. Firing pin broke before I even fired a live round.

I voted "yes", for a variety of reasons. To be fair, one must consider that what you pay for is not the actual physical worth of an item/firearm. The cost of machinery, design engineers, testing, employee pay, etc. is why automobiles, aircraft, weapons (or whatever) tend to have such high...

As a retired Infantryman, I'd opt for your AR with that excellent Aimpoint like this one pictured that I carried a few years ago. That is one of the all time perfect matchups as far as I'm concerned; the flattop M-16/M-4 with Aimpoint (or ACOG, if you like). I prefer the Aimpoint though as you...

In regards to an auto pistol in 9mm, the SIG P228. I only claim this for a service 9mm category, no other. (My personal favorite pistol is the M1911A1), but for fit, finish, design, maintenance, size, balance, accuracy, multi-use, etc, I have to vote for the P228. It's really the pistol the...

Sounds to me like a Prague built mauser, maybe a CZ. Do you have a picture? I might be able to help as I live in Germany and hunt with very knowledgeble Germans in variants, etc. That's a good caliber, by the way, and very popular over here. The Germans like that in bolt actions, and the...

I think the Vari-x IIIs are outstanding scopes, sometimes referred to as the "Zeiss of America". Scope makers do not always have the same quality level in their scopes as they do their Binoculars or cameras (Nikon, for instance). I disagree with your assessment about German scopes. I live in...
