I have a new SP2022 that states proudly on the frame, "Exeter, NH". I've put in about 300rds and so far, based on my experiences, I would not hesitate to buy another US-made Sig. The German made ones would be cool to own, though. But I am happy to buy an American made product. If I get a...

Wow... hell no! My parents are strongly anti-gun. In their minds, it's the same thing as giving me a spoon, lighter, a dirty needle they got from a junkie, and some heroin and telling me that if I shoot up, it will feel really good.

- A .22 semiauto- can't make up my mind- either a buckmark or a Sig classic - A Gen 4 Glock 19 or 17

I wonder if this is a start of a trend or a fad. In a few months I wonder how many of those new guns will be collecting dust in a closet vs. still being used on a regular basis. Definitely safety is an issue. As a new shooter I'm glad I took a intro course. A lot of what is taught is common...

^I agree. After thinking about it and doing lots of research on where the friendly and helpful ranges/shops are, I strolled in and just talked to a few places. No problems. I'm not getting any younger and I do want to exercise my 2a right. I did enjoy my first shooting experience and like I...

No tin foil hat- just a baseball cap. Made of cotton. :D I was just asking about reducing risk and not trying to stick out like a sore thumb to attract unwanted attention. To clarify, being picked for my race and being picked out because I have some guns and the risk of violence from either...

. If I lived in a 90% black, hispanic, or any kind of neighborhood with a history of violence, my post would be the same. Except replace KKK with street thugs. It's not race, but the risk of violence. If the KKK had no history of violence, i can take racist names and rude behavior. If...

Well im glad to hear nobody has had any problems at the gun store or shooting range in terms of roberies or violence. *And it doesnt seem like people here being targeted for their guns. In this economy people's houses are being robbed more frequently.* As for the race issue, this is not a...

So I've gone shooting, took a course, tried out a variety of guns, and even have narrowed down to what guns I am interested in buying. I've located a few LGS to shop around for the best price, found some decent shooting ranges, etc. But I am still hesitating on pulling the trigger so to say...

I'm not gonna buy the book. No way. But I will download it onto my iPad! :D

Well... I think we're missing the bigger picture. This isn't about shot placement, caliber, or whatever detail you want to nitpick about. A man defended himself from a criminal with his firearm. And is not being charged for defending himself from a known felon. I think everybody here can...

My question is are people who get their guns stolen targeted because they have guns? Like just the gun safe was broken into? Or was it a general robbery and the thief stole the TV, the Xbox, and guns? I wonder if having a gun at your home makes you a higher risk for robbery when you're not...

Well I think the reason ppl don't like guns is that it's not necessary. A car you use every day and it's an acceptable risk in the eyes of society. A gun is a symbol of violence. So the guns have an image problem. And the power a gun gives to people can often draw in the wrong crowd that ends...

I'm sorry for your loss. I saw a friend's mother shot to death as we were playing baseball- that was when I was a little kid. As I was waiting to bat, I saw the guy walk up to her, didn't think anything of it and then turned to the game. Next thing I know I hear a BANG!. I turn to look and...

I wear glasses too- I have pretty bad vision. Contacts dry my eyes out like crazy. What kind of earmuffs were you using? My first time at the range recently, I had a pair of rental earmuffs and they worked fine- perfect seal. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the brand. Are you wearing...

Forget all this nonsense about guns for the weak. Just be yourself. Do what you want to do. The only weak person will be you stop doing what you want to do because you're being made fun of.

I used to live in NY. I feel your pain man... So your first gun was a 9mm? Don't tempt me... The .22s seem like a pain in the ass to take apart- MK3, Buckmark... And that what makes me so frustrated with the mosquito. If it were as good as a 226 or 229, you'd see pics of it instead of the...

Thanks for the advice, looks like my shopping list got a bit bigger, but gotta get ready to take care of my future gun!

So I'm a first time shooter, soon to be first time gun owner. I've got a broad idea of what gun I'm gonna be getting, got the ear protection and eye protection on the way. And now what do I need to clean my weapon? So far, this is what I have on my shopping list: - a barrel brush - a...
