    Help identifying a revolver

    Could anyone figure out a year on it? I wasn't planning on shooting it, just wanted the pride of knowing that I got it working really. The only parts I need are the mainspring and grips. I might have my brother make some out of mesquite or hickory but those would probably be worth more than...

    Help identifying a revolver

    My wife got a lump of rust out of a barn and thought I would have "fun" fixing it and figuring out what it was. Originally, it had so much rust on it that the cylinder wouldn't rotate and the top break wouldn't. After a vinegar bath I could open it and pull the trigger. After some elbow...

    A Confession.

    My wife is fine. They did a dynamic entry (SWAT did their thing), shots fired and everything and she knew the reporters were going to report something that would worry me. What she didn't know was that I don't look at the news until she's home just for that reason. Thank ya'll for your...

    A Confession.

    I live in Texas and we moved recently. It's hot and I sweat a lot. I also carry in a front pocket holster. My wife is a cop and sent me a disturbing message: "Before you hear anything on the news, I'm okay." no answer and more disturbingly, nothing on the news. I'm wandering around the...

    Can anyone ID this safe/rsc for me?

    When I looked on Google I didn't even find that much. We're in the middle of moving so I won't post more pictures until later. The locksmith I bought it from replaced the lock with a new S&G dial, so that's one less worry. As I said, it was a great price, great enough that I didn't expect it...

    Can anyone ID this safe/rsc for me?

    [/ATTACH]I bought this safe/rsc a few years ago because I was in a hurry and it was a great price. This picture is the only identifier on it that I could find. I'm looking for weight, date of manufacture, reputation, anything else you know of it. The size is 28dx39wx66h.

    Dog Attack

    In regards to what RonSC posted, many of those dogs you mentioned have a high prey drive. In other words if you are running away they want to chase and play tag with their teeth. Ball drive is different, more like just playing. We have a GSD with a high prey drive and decent ball drive. He...

    Dog Attack

    I'm not a trainer but my cop wifes police dog was trained by an incredible trainer. A couple of points to consider: a: If a dog isn't barking to scare you off it's past the point of barking or it was trained to not bark. A lot of obedience trainers will do that so the owners think it's a nice...

    Why isn't maple used in more shotgun/rifle stocks?

    I look at this a little differently since I grew up in the furniture refinishing business. I'm not thrilled with maple or walnut because I grew up with it, I do wonder why some gunsmiths/manufacturers or stock/grip distributors don't buy a small supply of some "exotic" woods and try them. I...

    Well it looks like you've gotten quite a bit of good information on the Denton area. Nothing for me to add besides Welcome to Texas.

    Buying guns at pawn shops

    I've seen examples of both sides of the extreme. Bought a Glock 10mm with 2 magazines in unfired condition for under $500, the only thing missing was the box. Saw a beautiful WASR for a great price, walked away from it because the barrel was so bent you couldn't see light out the other side...

    Looking for new gun belt, bull hide?

    I bought my belt from Liger. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/Liger-Gun-Belt-c16.htm It's a synthetic but it doesn't stretch and easy to keep clean. Been wearing it daily for over two years.

    mallninja/tacticool guns in fiction?

    Look up Armed and Dangerous: A Writer's Guide to Weapons (Howdunit Series) by Michael Newton. It was designed for people that don't know guns at all, but should have some interesting advice of what to avoid. Also, my favourite author is Donald Westlake (aka Richard Stark) he's not a gun...

    Texas weapons in a bar(51% signed)

    When I worked in bars in Texas, the TABC (like the ATF but for Texas and alcohol only) said that the ONE person in charge could carry. If I was carrying and my boss came in I was required to put my pistol in the car until he left. Even if he wasn't carrying. Those little stands have the...
