    a good match for me.

    My .02(may be worth less): As others have stated before, don't cast aside the 9mm so quickly. A used Beretta 92FS or CZ75 are both very dependable, and both have 15 round mags at@400$... Bear in mind 45 ACP "low recoil" is in comparison to magnum pistol or rifle rounds. I'm a big guy, and...

    Buying a used gun from a dealer

    Sorry guys, I'm with the OP on this one. It breaks after 19 shots? Fishy-fishy... ...of course, assuming full used value was paid for the gun. If it was sold at distressed value, "as is", that's another story.

    Feedback on GunBroker Purchase

    When I read GB's feedback, I am much more impressed with objective descriptions, and a B-thru D rating, than I am by "This guy is a crook" and an F rating. IMO, the guy screwed ya, because those defects should have shown up in normal photos. If you don't get satisfaction, file a...

    non-resident ccw permits.

    Just check your laws, many times a non-resident permit is more restricted than a resident permit.

    Heard a new (to me) reason not keep mags loaded

    I'm having an opposite problem. Some of my new hi-cap mag springs make it difficult to load the last 4 rounds, so I'm leaving them loaded a few days at a time to loosen them up a little, and hopefully "break them in".

    More of the General Population becoming Pro?

    I'm trying to redirect my energies from arguing with anti-gun folks, to getting inactive gun supporters to become active gun supporters. @280 million legal guns in America, and only 4 million NRA members...:uhoh:

    Really old ammo

    I'd be much more worried that the new ammo is too strong for the older pistol. At least the old ammo is matched to the gun.

    Rifle/Handgun Combos?

    For the critters you're shooting, and the distances, I'd use 30.06 rifle. My hunting pistol would be a .44 magnum.

    How Many Different Acronyms for CCW

    Yes, while our CWFL is good in @ 38 states, IIRC,(if you're a FL resident) in other states it pertains to permission to carry a handgun only. We also must know and follow the state laws of the state which we're visiting at the time.

    Idiots at my school think I'm a murderer.

    Push the cart downhill, Precision. Just keep hacking on' 'em that you and everybody you know is a murderer or a terrorist, and they'll get over themselves remarkably quick.

    How many "new" shooters have you taken shooting

    Only two. So far. But now that I have the 22LRs...;)

    20 arrested for illeagally buy hundreds of AK-47's

    So let's recap: 1) The very ATF which, up to now, has made it painfully apparent to the most casual observer that they have trouble finding the GROUND UNDERNEATH THEIR FEET all of a sudden made a sweeping series of arrests and confiscations, with evidence, data to support gun-grabber's claims...

    Business Week Glock Story Followup

    The part about all these anti-gun stories which you DON'T hear about, OP, is that after all the braying and blathering about the "evil of handguns" and "we must have limits" etc,etc the criminal involved in these crimes is usually put right back on the streets to search for yet another...

    "Just a .22?"

    My "just a 22" pistol is a High-Standard competition model. This is hefty, well made, and does NOT feel like a "cheap" or "flimsy" 22. Cost more used than my 1911 or Beretta 92 cost new.(yeah, got a great deal on the B, but that's another story for another time) My "just a 22" is more...

    Cleaner: Brake vs Carburetor

    Brake cleaner? It's made up of a high amount of Ether, which dries quickly, and is great for bare-metal surfaces. However, it may discolor, or cloud plastic. It may harm wood finishes. I personally wouldn't trust it around blued surfaces. Simple Green's a gentle cleaner. After that I...

    Drywall penetration, part deux

    Sure, penetration of building materials could be a hazard in the off-chance of a SD shoot, but, to be fair, this isn't something we encounter daily, unless we live in Beirut. I'm not going to let the possibility of an encounter with some bean-brain skew my choice of a favorite caliber...

    Optics Planet Reviews

    IME many things come with crappy hardware which I wouldn't use to help assemble a tinkertoy. I generally have a hard look at the assembly hardware of any item before proceeding with any job. Sometimes this garbage hardware is included with a higher quality item,also.

    Kids and guns

    I have to agree that this is an issue more of guardian guidance and proper child discipline. The misuse of a firearm in this particular instance only brings the lack of proper parental control into high contrast. Many parents mistake "discipline" for "beatings". Real discipline is only...
