Ooh, you've even got the T grips on it. I ordered some a couple of years ago but haven't installed them yet. Nice gun!

Some of you guys definitely get it, others not so much. Whomever said you are there to hold the purse got it right. My boyfriend thought he was Mr. Knowledgeable about guns until he realized I not only know way more than him about my guns of choice and concealed carry issues, but that I also...

Not a senior, but a 36 year old woman checking in. I'm a revolver person and thought I would really like the Beretta tip-up barrel. The gun (I had the .22 Bobcat) seemed to jam quite a but, but even if it hadn't it was really hard to shoot accurately. I traded it promptly. I have two .38...

The Blind Side Leigh Anne Touhy: You threaten my son, you threaten me. If you so much as set foot downtown, you will be sorry. I'm in a prayer group with the D.A., I'm a member of the NRA and I'm always packing. Alton: Whatchu packin? .22? A little Saturday night special? Leigh Anne Touhy...

So, while volunteering at my state's firearm owners' association booth at the local women's expo, I was asked if I would moderate a "ladies' only" discussion forum on our boards (I've browsed the boards, but don't currently post). I think the guys behind this idea mean well, but I'm not...

Detective Special here, too. It's a "shooter" version of my very nice Cobra, both second generation. I purse carry with a pocket holster placed in a small messenger bag that I can put in my larger tote bag or clip to my belt loops. It's a little heavy when clipped to belt loops but so far is...

Welcome to THR :) I am also relatively new to guns but have found you can learn *so much* by searching these and other forums as well as reading through sites like www.corneredcat.com. I think I have read through that site at least three times. It's great that you have a class planned for...

+1 for Cornhusker's Lotion. I have very smooth fingertips and many have vertical creasing. The person who did my prints had me use Cornhusker's and all prints but my pinky fingers looked good.

Where *does* the mounted aspect of the competition come into play? Years ago (before I had any interest in guns) my dad gave me a Ruger Vaquero and suggested I do CAS, but said I shouldn't do anything mounted. It was all very strange as I actually had the perfect mare for it, and it might...

I traded a "lesson learned" purchase last night for an Inox version of the .22 Bobcat. The salesman showed me the Tomcat first, but since I like to practice frequently the cost of feeding a gun is a factor for me. The Bobcat was also on sale and my trade almost covered its price. I haven't...

True, but my friend's husband did become inexplicably more attractive to me when he traded a medium-ish semi-auto for a snubnose revolver for his every day carry. The fact that he likes watching my toy poodle when I go shooting with his wife probably helps, too. Quiet confidence, with or...

My .38 special revolver was bought specifically for when horse trailing; a friend's horse involved in an accident and suffered greatly until a vet arrived to put him down. As others have said, shot placement is key. For a horse, I was taught to put the shot in the center of the forehead...

And having a gun in the house is both necessary and sufficient for ensuring the safety of your family? Really?

LibShooter nailed it.

THIS. A gun should not be your only form of protection and defense! It should probably be your *last* form for use only if all other measures have failed. At the risk of inciting the anger of some people here it should be mentioned that when you do show the facts to your wife she will see...

I really freaked myself out the other night by watching a documentary about some very messed up and dangerous individuals and getting their actions stuck in my mind. I spent most of the night (since I couldn't sleep) thinking about different situations and if and when I would shoot. Rather...

*And* the seller clearly didn't understand naming conventions, either, which appears to have resulted in the buyer being misled by the seller. The gun was represented to be "fairly new"; I suppose that gets back to the point of what one considers a "new" gun. In my business if we misrepresent...

I've made it a practice in life to buy older used things in excellent condition; apart from my NAA mini, my youngest gun is 40 years old. It would be helpful if the seller had correct information, but instead of cancelling the sale I probably would have tried to negotiate a better price...

I have three Cobras. So far I haven't been able to justify a fourth, but I suspect it will only be a matter of time.

Agree with this. I don't care for the 15 minute rule, either. When I sell things on ebay I publish the reserve, set a fair "buy it now" price, and don't care if buyers engage in "sniping". Gunbroker certainly widens the market for both buyer and seller, and for that it's great. Most...
