No bad choices here. I'd go with the Springfield and the Ruger just because they're closest to what I'm most familiar and comfortable with.

The government takes your money, then withholds it saying they'll give it back but only if you do what they want. In the real world I believe that's called extortion and people go to prison. Red flag laws are like the no fly list. Lots of mistakes and getting them corrected can be a...

It's good to see a Kel-Tec thread. Ruger took over a significant share of their pocket gun market but Kel-Tec is a good company that gets rave reviews for taking care of their customers. I've had a P3-AT for several years and have never needed their services. It replaced a NAA Guardian .380...

What another person carries implies nothing to me. It's their decision, their own particular set of circumstances. I am, however, glad they've chosen to carry.

Going hunting at my school would get you an excused absence. My older brother got me out of school in the 5th grade to do just that and the principal and my teacher simply waved me out with "have a good time".

It's probably happened but not in recent memory. I will say anyone who would do that is pretty thoughtless, throwing all his responsibility for self protection on your shoulders for his simple convenience. Not a nice thing to do.

Before you start filling someone with holes please consider the possibility of incompetence at the front desk and this "evil doer" could be simply a fellow traveler who was handed a key to your room because some numbskull mistakenly double booked it. So ... keep it locked.

Congratulations! Ammo, ammo, ammoooooo ... they need to be fed and used. You've gone and done it now; there's no turning back. Time to look into reloading. Glad you're fired up.

Do I take all this that seriously? Not so much. But I try not to take myself all that seriously either.

3rd generation Colt Single Action Army in .44-40.

Lincoln tried to underplay slavery as a paramount issue in the beginning for fear of losing Maryland, Kentucky and other border states. Also, no one predicted or expected the South to put up that much of a fight. Manassas and Shiloh came as a real shock and as all the short term conscripts...

Oddly, the rules almost encourage the carrying of a frontier type six-shooter. Hammer rests on an empty chamber: draw cock and fire.

Sometimes I get to the point where I'll scan a series of posts and all I see is " blah, blah, blah ... blah, blah ... blah, blah " and I know it's time to take a break from not just this forum, but any of the gun forums for a few weeks. When I come back my head is screwed on a little better and...

Where are my tweezers?? I think I found another nit! No, wait ... they must be under this dead horse. If we can just make it through another page of this we may be able to push this thread into the top ten most tedious topics in THR history. Come on! We can do this!

My 3rd generation Colt SAA in .44-40. Not a gun I needed but one I had wanted since I was about 6 years old. I only waited about 60 years before I got it.

Also might be a good idea before removing your cylinder to cut a piece of paper to slip around it. Helps protect from nicks and scratches on that nice new finish.

No matter how logical and persuasive your argument might be, it's difficult to prevail if no one hears it. We are preaching to the choir and I think we all understand why that message doesn't reach the public at large. And on social media the two sides of the argument have become so demonized...

Family history plus all those early westerns. My grandpa carried a Colt SAA in his younger years and I grew up playing cowboys and Indians. I was never satisfied until I got a Colt SAA in .44wcf like my grandpa's. Shooting one in .44wcf or .45 Colt is a hoot.

First shot was some S&W in .38 Special. First bought was a Colt SAA .45.

A lie can be shouted in one sentence. Refuting that lie can take a whole page. You can shout a dozen lies in the time it takes to refute just one of them. Getting to the truth and reporting it requires journalists who care and a network or newspaper willing to give the truth time and...
