    Ruger SR45

    I don't post much but thought I would actually log in to chime in. Ruger has turned me back into a fan with their SR series. I have been carrying the SR9c since Spring. I had no problems qualifying with that pistol when I passed my NRA Basic Pistol Instructor this Fall. I have a new...

    I notice now most of us older guys (50+)

    At 35, my EDC is currently a SW1911 +2 Kimber Tac Pro magazines. Next month that will likely change to DA/SA 17rnd FNP-9 due to the cooler weather and heavier clothing. My holster guy is making me another fine holster for the FNP. I prefer OWB, under the shirt @ 4 O'clock for whatever I carry...

    Herman Cain on gun control and the 2a. Anyone know?

    I logged on to say THANK YOU for starting this thread. Every time I see something on Fox News about Cain, I wonder what his 2A stance is. I am glad someone actually found the information and spoon fed it for me or I'd be wondering again tomorrow and next week. This is good news.

    What is your favorite .22 revolver?

    I don't own one yet but have been shopping for a DA "4 .22LR too. If I have to buy new, I am leaning towards the 10 shot S&W 617. It was the only one of several that I palmed which did not feel like either the trigger or the timing was going a problem. Unfortunately it is also the most...

    .357 Magnum vs. .44 Magnum, pros and cons!

    Well, that settles it. You gotta have both! We can't let you not have a personal defense peice as good as the .357 mag AND a .44 mag for protection against stalking predators. But seriously. I have both a Ruger .357mag (the short barrel that you hated) and it is a superb CCW/home defense...

    Should I Mention This in My Saiga 12 Ad? BAD OMEN???

    Personally, I'd have "No.666 Soul Extractor" engraved on the barrel. Not that I don't believe in God, because I certainly do. I just decided to flip to Revelations in the ol' King James in college to find reference of this mysterious number. Low and behold, it was never there! Of all the...

    Shotgun Cartridge Interrupter fix?

    That was my first inclination. I stripped it down completely and scrubbed/lubed it with G96 and a stiff nylon brush. It's definitely clean.

    Shotgun Cartridge Interrupter fix?

    Hi guys, I'm not very active around here, I'm sorry. I just don't have a lot to add I guess. One of my shotguns is a cheap-o, smooth bore, pump action slug gun (with iron sights) made by Maverick. I can't imagine this thing being a tack-driver with slugs... Honestly, if it weren't for the...

    any THRers into ham radio?

    I've also got the guns, motorcycle and babe thing down. I've often thought of trying HAM. I happen to have access to a 500W GMDSS transciever that many of you would probably kill for. For me it's more of a chore since I have to maintain the system for a ship as the Electronics Tech. I could...

    16 ga. Why or why not

    Why invest in an obsolete platform? There are plenty of modern alternatives.

    Browning A500R Semi 12Ga.

    Some people don't care for them because they are not an (insert model here) but I found a nice example at the local gunshop the other day. About 90%. One scratch on the right side. Furniture is still glossy and all internals look like new. Has very little slide scratches. Maybe had a couple...

    Sons of Guns

    Some things are just made to be entertaining. To some degree, everything can be one-upped by someone else who is better. I personally think I'll enjoy it although I have to admit that OCC got WAYYY too dramatic in short order.

    mini 14 as a starter varmint rifle

    I have had 2. The second (which I still have) is the Target model, which specifically addresses the market that wants an accurate version. There is no provisioning for iron sights on the Target version. I wish I still had the first rifle I bought. Whoever mentioned that they shot good...
