    TV banner claims {states with higher gun control have lower gun violence}

    I saw that too, and was immediately bothered by the flawed logic. It would be far more useful if these talking heads ask the right question: Does gun control reduce violence in our communities (not gun violence). I suspect not. And if more stringent laws merely shift the weapons that...

    The loaded chamber indicator on the PCR is a small silver button on top of the slide.

    Shooting happiness with a 12 guage

    Congratulations on a good day out, BRD. I've been focusing on pistols lately, but reading your nice post reminds me I need to take my neglected Mossberg back out to the trap range sometime soon.

    for those who appendix carry...

    Discovered Appendix carry about a year ago, and have never gone back to 4 o'clock. I find it far better, for me in my situation: 1. what gun are you carrying there? CZ PCR 2. what holster do you like for appendix position? i'm assuming IWB, but educate me if i'm wrong. most seem angled...

    Carry in Denver - restrictions?

    Hi PTK: short answer: No, if you are permitted to carry a concealed weapon in Colorado, you may carry it concealed in Denver too. IIRC, the law was changed in 2003 (when the state went shall-issue) prohibiting any cities (e.g. Denver, Boulder) from enforcing firearm regulations different...

    Denver Assault Weapons Ban partially repealed

    Ditto. I actually have the (unknowingly) old ordinance bookmarked on my computer, so I can easily reference the (apparently out-dated) law. If true -- I can't get the "current ordinance" to open up right now -- I'm surprised these changes were not broadcast more widely, either by the MSM...

    Kids n the house, loaded gun in the house. Location?

    I'd say a push-button lock box would be your safest bet, mounted securely somewhere nearby -- nightstand, bed-frame, recessed in the wall, etc. I was going to recommend one of the boxes from handgunsafe.com...but just read on their website that they "no longer manufacture handgun safes"...

    Where Did All the Stainless Security-Sixes Go?

    I have two Speed-sixes in my small Ruger collection. A well-used blued .357 and a stainless .38...which I found locally. The stainless sure is prettier, which is why it usually stays at home. I'd rather have the banged up .357 out in the woods:

    SKS Thumbs up or down?

    Hope you don't mind the slight hijack BUGUDY, but threads like this are starting to convince me I need a SKS too :D. I am a bit confused by the many offerings and would appreciate advice on which SKS is "best". Thanks to Denver's own AWB, I need a version with a fixed 10-round magazine. So...

    Colorado: "ND" inside gun store...

    From this morning's Rocky Mountain News: A gentle reminder that even 'professionals' should observe the four rules...and double-check to ensure the firearm is unloaded. I hope Mr. Franklin recovers from his injury :(

    Cz75b Iwb ?

    I've been pleased with my Comp-Tac C.T.A.C. kydex IWB holster -- and they make one for the 75b in .40 too (use the pulldowns to select "CZ" then "75B/85B .40". I think I had the holster 5 days after ordering it last summer... Also, I've never used one but lots of people are giving the...

    S&W 642 advice.

    I have an OWB holster from Simply Rugged for a Speed Six. Good stuff. For the 642, I've been quite pleased with a pocket holster from Andrew's. In fact, it's in my front pocket right now... Congratulations on the 642. Have you checked into the club yet? :cool:

    first .22LR rifle for a lefty -- multi-part question

    Thank you everyone for the thoughtful replies. Lots to chew on....I'll just keep my eyes peeled for good deals and while I continue to read up on the various choices -- it'll be interesting to see what type of .22 rifle lands in my lap first. (but I bet there will be a left-handed CZ452 in...

    first .22LR rifle for a lefty -- multi-part question

    I want to work on rifle fundamentals -- so I'm shopping for my first .22lr rifle. My main reasons for choosing .22lr are: cheap ammo, low recoil, and the nearby indoor range allows .22lr rifles...which is nice in the winter. I've been reading through the archives and it sounds like the...

    Which handgun would you recommend out of these for IDPA?

    Thanks, Jim. Looking forward to my first IDPA match...hopefully in a few weeks.

    Which handgun would you recommend out of these for IDPA?

    [Thread hijack on]: Jim (or others) What is the required procedure when using a decocker-equipped pistol? Required decock before movement? Before re-holstering? etc. I haven't seen an IDPA match yet, so I'm not sure how they go. Also, I couldn't find anything in the IDPA rules about...

    nubbie snubbies - pics?

    . Gotcha. I thought the spurless hammers like Baldy's (or the RCMP Rugers that CAI imported a few years back) made the revolvers Double Action Only. The 638's shrouded hammer can still be hand-cocked for a single action shot.

    What have I got here?

    There are many, many folks on THR with more expertise than me, but for starters I'd suggest you swing open the cylinder and look at the frame on the left side. is there a "Mod X-X" shown (where X is a number such as Mod 10 or Mod 15-3). Sounds like a K-frame to my novice ears, possibly a...

    Do you mean like the S&W Model 638?: My brother has an older nickel/stainless Model 38 with the shrouded hammer. It's sweet!
