The initial post that started this thread is great. I consider myself sufficiently chastised. As for "right" vs "privilege", my oldest daughter tried to use that "driving is a right" argument when she turned 16. She actually kept a learner's permit for two years because she was (and may still...

I personally like my Taurus Judge which I keep loaded with three shells and two HP. Mine also has a small rail below which I mounted a laser. My family - wife, and son and daughter (both of which are just shy of 20) - know where it is and how to use it if need be. The laser is mainly for my wife...

What type do you recommend?

I can understand "loose". I realize that "feel" has a lot to do with anything mechanical. This just doesn't feel smooth in operation. The bolt locking and unlocking functions well enough; ejection is normal, but racking the next round just doen't feel right. maybe need to run a few more round...

I recently acquired a Mossberg 100 ATR. First use the bolt seemed "stiff" but had a lot of side-to-side once unlocked. I also noticed that over-tightening the stock screw interfered with the bolt. Lesson learned on that one. Still, there seems to be a lot of "slop" in the bolt movement. Is there...

How much detail? When cleaning, how far in-depth (disassembly wise) is recommended for a pistol? How about a revolver?

Speaking from the mechanic stand point, there are times when "seeing" the mess helps with a diagnoses. Being technically new to the fine art of guns and the "clean vs. no-clean" debate, I thank each and all for their input. I guess I will have to experiment on my own to see what will work...

Nushif, I like your tag line. I happen to whole heartedly agree with the correlation of "professional" with "logistics". How do you employ your tactics and strategy without beans and bullets? Hmmm. Looks like the Glock truly is becoming America's gun.

Thank you all for the wonderful insight. I had no idea how vast this topic would become. At least you kind folk have given me a starting point. Again, thank you.

Being new to this - can you call it a hobby? - sport, I am curious about handguns that allow barrel swapping. I have a Beretta 92SF and am currently looking for a smaller 9mm. I'd like to know if there is anything that offers the freedom to swap barrels/calibers on the same frame. Or am I...

I find it interesting how politicians (aka - those who think they know best for all) attempt to legislate actions that most can self-regulate through common sense and their own moral compass. Even with a topic such as "gun control", what I find hard to stomach is the lack of personal...

I've always loved shooting. During my time in the Army and being lucky enough to have a 30-30 bolt action BK (before kids), I've loved the opportunities to shoot. SK (since kids), I respected my bride's concerns about having any firearm in the house. Now that I have teenagers (hormones with...
