    What part of North Carolina did this happen at? I live out by Asheville.

    Sons of Guns

    I liked the suppressed AK-47; they took it from 160dB down to 127dB. So instead of a jet taking off, you have the first row of a Manowar concert. That's worth $2800.

    Self defense in college

    A hatchet will fit in the inside pockets of a Levi's denim jacket. Other than that, grow your hair and beard for 6 months and go out without combing it. I haven't had to say 'excuse me' once in the last 2 months just because of my apperance when I play it up. You also won't have a problem...

    How much will Winchester values climb?

    I had the old Marlin vs Winchester arguement with a buddy at work the other day. I like Winchester, he hates Winchester. The day he found out Winchester was closing up shop he said he had to find a couple of Winchester 94's to put up, and no one has them in stock. :confused: I haven't checked...

    Pocket carry max size

    You need to buy some new jeans. I carry my S&W 642 in a pocket holster in the front pocket of a pair of Old Navy "Workers" jeans with plenty of room to spare. Now if you have a Belk's department store near you, they have a line of jeans called Guyz with very deep and wide front pockets but...

    Shooting .22lr out of .22 magnum?

    I'm over here at Thanksgiving at my girlfriend's. I was looking at a rifle her brother had out and it's a Marlin .22 magnum bolt action. I've seen a few empty boxes of .22lr out in the garage. What would be the issues on shooting .22lr out of it? He still has all his fingers and both eyes so it...

    Anyone feel the BHP safety isn't that positive?

    I'm looking at the C&S catalog, is this the part? CS035 - C&S Browning Hi Power Extended Safety - Blue I'd like to get rid of the factory ambi safety and just have the safety lever on the left side. Does anyone know how the factory safety differs from the C&S safety in design? If you...

    Anyone feel the BHP safety isn't that positive?

    What brand and model holster do you use? Is it a model specific holster, or is it 1911/BHP/Large frame auto? I'm currently using a Dillon, no retention strap and it does not cover the safety. I like the fit of it because it is model specific... but some leather up the side to cover the safety...

    Anyone feel the BHP safety isn't that positive?

    I've got a base model BHP that I enjoy very much and have put over a 1000 rounds through it without a problem. With the cooler weather here I'd like to start carrying it, but I don't feel that the safety is all that positive and worry that the safety will get disengaged. Does anyone else feel...

    Looking for a good hangun 2 conceal....

    Another vote for the S&W 642. I pocket carry mine and I don't really notice it. Good, solid shooter. I also pocket carry a Beretta 21A in .25 from time to time. I am very impressed with this little pistol. Although the ammunition is one step above screaming for help ;) .

    Buying first 1911. Please help.

    I've got the WWII looking Springfield 1911, I haven't had any problems with it and it's as accurate as my Hi-Power. The sights are small and hard to see, but I like the overall style of the pistol. I think it's illegal for you to buy a pistol at 19, you really need to check on this.

    642 as a pocket gun - I don't get it?

    If you have a Belks department store near you get a pair of Guyz brand jeans. They have very deep pockets and the opening is cut at an angle. I can fit my Browning HP and it's holster in the front pocket of those jeans. It swallows my 642 perfectly.

    Can't find load data for plated bullets

    Hello, I'm just starting off reloading for my handguns (9mm, .38 Special and .45 ACP) and just picked up a few hundred copper plated bullets. I have Lymans 48th edition reloading manual and the Lee reloading manual. Only the Lee manual seperately lists data for plated bullets, for a total of...

    Is it legal to give a family member a gun?

    How many of us went to an FFL when we turned 18 or 21 and had dad or grandpa transfer to us the rifles/pistols/shotguns that he gave us growing up? Would you like to call the police or shall I? ;)

    The 642 club

    I've got a 642 for pocket carry, great little revolver. I load it with standard pressure Remington 110gr semi jacketed hp's. Very low recoil but it unfortunately has a nasty muzzle flash. I've tried 125 gr +p hp's, and I didn't notice much difference in recoil compared to the 158gr lrn I use for...

    FN BHP 10 Round Magazine

    You need to push harder to get the 10th round in... push a helluva lot harder. The spring is completely compressed when the 10th round is loaded. I had gotten 3 17 round South African magazines for my Hi-power yesterday. I had to use a loading tool, my hip and the corner of the fridge to get...

    VA gun shops?

    I was in that area on business a few weeks ago. If you're in Roanoke, get on Hershberger Dr., drive past the hotels (Wyndham, Clarion, Marriot), drive past the Hardee's. A few hundred yards past the Hardee's the road will fork. At the fork there is this pawn shop/gun store. I don't remember...

    Minimalist Gun Carry

    Get one of Dillon's "The Master" OWB holsters. It holds the pistol tight to the body and conceals very well at 3 o'clock with a long shirt.

    Need help finding something to carry

    CRridermike, The Dillon "Master" holsters keep the pistol very close to your body. Honestly there is very little bulge from the front or back (It conceals easier than my BHP). The only issue is the length of the pistol. If hawaiian shirts aren't your style, seersucker (the fabric with...

    Need help finding something to carry

    Try one of Dillon Precision's "Master" owb holsters. I can conceal a gov't model 1911 under a hawaiian shirt while using that holster. Try the holster, if it doesn't work, ebay it.
