    A different way to see guns

    IDLE MRI`s It`s final you get the 2010 award for coming up with the oddest idea of "what to do with your MRI when someone isn`t in it. I guess your not worried about live bullets going through a MRI, if your not I won`t be either, good luck with the new venture.

    Dumb question, why do I want a faster bullet?

    Here`s the way I look at it. There is a bewildering amount of bullets because competing companies developed different bullets to win over the future gun sales. Each bullet was supposed to "out do" a bullet of a competitor and by doing so they sold rifles, many new bullets were superior to...

    17hmr...22mag....22lr....in a rifle or revolver

    22 rimfire Well I`m now in one of THE top backward states for owning a firearms and that is Illinois but that won`t be for long because I`ll be moving south, of coarse that`s if someone has the money to buy my house. I`m looking for whether it`s cheaper to find a Ruger rifle action, if they...

    17hmr...22mag....22lr....in a rifle or revolver

    22 rimfire You bring, back to mind many things I had forgotten. I had a pretty good gun collection years back, then about 15 years ago I sold 25 guns for what reason escapes me now but I just did. I just kept a few shotguns and 9mm. 25 years ago I did a lot of target with Smith&Wesson 52...

    17hmr...22mag....22lr....in a rifle or revolver

    22-rimfire It shows I`ve been away from guns for a while I didn`t know Thompson Center made rifles in semi auto, I had a single shot many years ago, a very accurate gun, I`ll look into that also. Yep the 22lr. will be the first purchase followed by pistol, then the other caliber rifles. As far...

    17hmr...22mag....22lr....in a rifle or revolver

    What do I need to do some small varmint hunting, some target shooting a little plinking what do you think is the best all around caliber in a rifle or would you suggest a revolver or both in different calibers. I know for plinking and some target shooting the 22lr makes a lot of sense and...

    I've had enough of S&W

    You know, making guns isn`t rocket science, I know some will disagree but it isn`t. The problem has always been manufacturing can produce some bad ones among the good ones. Quality control is supposed to do what it supposed to do, ferret out the bad ones before they get to the customer. American...

    I`m looking for a DA revolver [357/38] everything I`ve tried, in the past had to heavy a trigger pull. Which guns lend themselves to trigger jobs.... I`ve had very few revolvers in the past but have decided on maybe a 3 inch barrel. I`d like to have about 5 lb. trigger pull, can this be...

    Returning to my hobby

    Well 2010 has been bad for many but one good thing was, I returned to my gun hobby. I sold almost all my collection of 25 guns about 15 yrs. ago. I`m finding that was a big mistake because many of the guns I had are much more expensive now and many I had, I`d like to have again, I guess when you...

    walther P.22 and me

    You know I`ve thought long and hard about the 22lr. and I like it very much for all around fun and have used it for accuracy shooting at the range. I just don`t see it as a defensive round though.....I know many are interested in multi shot capabilities of the 22 with good success of hitting...

    Why hasn't the market for a good disposable gun been filled?

    A disposable gun is not out of the realm of engineering today by no means. All polymer with thin lined barrels simplified trigger systems with built in redundancy not a problem. But people buy guns for MANY different reasons and while there are some that buy for purely utilitarian reasons...

    Interested in used S&W`s

    i`m looking for a used 586/686 or King Cobra and maybe a K frame, I have not had revolvers for decades and have renewed my interest. So my question is where can I find a check list on what to look for when purchasing a used revolver. Is there such a place or am I on my own. I know theres...

    Does your SD long gun have a light?

    I don` t have a light on my guns. First, I have dogs in my house, noone ever can get into or even near my house without my dogs knowing and barking. Second, when I built the house I wired it so that I have electrical switches in the master bedroom to turn on/off lights throughout the house, in a...

    Thoughts on home defence

    I`ve been giving home defence some real thought lately. Has anyone given thought to how different calibers react in the darkness of a home at night. Calibers that give a lot of flash could give you a blindness that lasts for some time because of the darkness. This would make it impossible to see...

    Pistol holds 31 rounds of 22 magnum. Good defense weapon? Yes or No.

    First shooting a 22 mag is almost as expensive as shooting a 9mm, the mag. is 3 to 4 times more expensive than 22lr. so for plinking it`s doesn`t make sense plus as some have said it`s very loud. Shooting small varmints, it blows squirrels bodies all apart. Defence guns, 99% of gun owners...

    question on impact of bullets

    I`m know little about ammo and their ballistics. Question: If you have a 40 grain bullet traveling at 1200 ft. and you compare it to a bullet that is traveling at 1/2 the speed 600 ft. and the bullet is 2 times heavier 80 grains. Which will have the greatest impact on live animals? Is...
