    Hipoint .45 acp

    I actually bought it to use it for classes I teach. Bought the .45, and then later the 9mm, so that students had a pistol they could use for the class that I wouldn't be overly concerned about if it suffered damage at the hands of a student. However before I let a student use it I wanted to be...

    On Not Re-chambering The Same Round Repeatedly...

    I generally will leave the top round in for 2 to 3 chamberings then add it to the range ammo, but this is only if I stray from my usual carry weapon which stays chambered. And then when I take it out for practice I just fire off the round in the chamber and load a magazine of range ammo. There...

    ? 1911 to buy

    My experience with 1911's include Colts, Kimbers and Springfield Arms only so of course I'm biased to what I own and carry having one or two of each brand. However whenever I leave the house I am carrying a Colt Defender. I know size and concealability is a big reason for this but this gun is...

    Hipoint .45 acp

    This isn't going to really help the OP since I have a low post count but for a range gun I have no problem with my Hi Point .45. I own 6 different .45's and at 5 - 15 yards I'd say it's as accurate as any other .45. And since I've got over 1000 rounds through mine without a failure I'd say it's...

    What guns would you go for in a raffle?

    I guess as long as the price of the raffle ticket is reasonable and the gun is one I could not easily pick up whenever I wanted I would purchase a ticket for a wide variety of guns. In this area it seems like the ones that do the best are concealable handguns from the little bit of research I...

    Do you plan on getting rid of your guns before you die?

    A very interesting question. I had not really thought of it before but now that the question comes up I will have to. I'm not sure whether my step son would value the collection I have and since he is the only one to hand it down to it may be smarter to give him the couple that mean the most to...

    What is the first gun you ever puchase or received

    My first gun of my own was a Taurus .357 revolver. The gentleman that taught me to shoot handguns always stated that "you learned to be proficient with a revolver before you pick up a semi-auto." I know it did teach me skills that I would not have learned had I started with a semi-auto. However...

    Zimmerman/Martin shooting

    I've tried following this case but it gets frustrating when emotions run rampant and the actual facts are few. Hopefully when the trial begins more factual information will come out and less speculation. I have been asked a question numerous times by people who like to talk about this case and...
