Many of us carry a gun every single day. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can't carry at work. My question is this: Is it bad for a gun or the ammo to leave it in the car all day? I know that here in South Texas the temperature in the car can reach upwards of 130 degrees. Is there a...

Anyone know where to get magazines for a this .22LR plinker? I took it out to the range and learned it's a tack-driver (way more accurate than me), but had several feed-jams that I attribute to having only one magazine that's in barely speakable condition. Y'all let me know if you come up...

I inherited one of these fine rifles about 15 years ago, and it was stored through several moves before I finally found a reproduction manual for it and cleaned it up. Seemed like everything was in order to me, so I took it out recently and it was an absolute tackdriver. LOVED it. One...

I have been told more than once that, while training is paramount, the instructor must be truly expert in their field and someone you'd want to learn from. It has been recommended to me several times to check up on any potential instructor to make sure 1. that they are who they say they are and...

I may be looking at a real good deal on one of these. I was wondering... On a nearly new (50 rounds through it) Mini-Cougar 8045, with original box, 6-rd and 8-rd mag w/ extension, and the original brushes. What would be a fair price on this gun? Is this a manageable firearm, or is there...

I've always kinda liked the Browning Hi-Power. Never really knew why or thought much about it until now. Now, I'm getting ready to buy one. Now the problems start to surface... The Browning website shows two models: The Standard and Mk. III (9mm and .40). Both blued. The local Bass Pro...

A friend I work with gave me a slip of paper with all the info he had on three firearms he recently inherited. I'm pretty sure I've I.D.'ed one as an Ithaca M-66 20 ga. The other two are proving to be a PIA. One, he says, is a Triumph single shot. He says it's small-bore, but he doesn't...

I need a hand, here. I have acquired (inheritance) a nice, shiny Mosin Nagant. Actually, it's like new. Still got that thick factory grease all over the top of the bolt, and the (internal) mag spring is caked in it. The extent of my knowledge of this carbine is its chambering (7.62x54R)...

I'm currently trying to find a comfortable method to carry my Beretta Px4 Storm. I found a retention holster made by Ross Leather today, and it felt GREAT! It's basically open top and bottom, and the barrel sticks out a couple inches at the bottom (I'm sure there's a technical name for this...

Man, I hope no one's done this one already. Okay, fellers. You know the drill. Enjoy! Chris

First off, Happy New Year to all. Hope your holiday was memorable. Mine was! Fantastic vacation, oh, ummmm.... back on Topic.:rolleyes: After much anticipation, got to take the Nice New Px4 out for a test drive at RangeMaster in Memphis, TN. Me, the Wifey, my Brother, and his Wifey took...

Why? WHY??? I've been watching the new polymer pistol offering from Beretta for quite some time now. I waited patiently for it to go into production, and then be available for gov't contract only for MONTHS. Then, I saw it go public. I rushed over to Sportsman's Warehouse to hold one (in...

I've been long overdue for a carry gun. I've got access to one of the finest firearms instructers in South Texas to teach me a one-on-one carry class, and I've finally decided to take the plunge. I'm not worried about that at all. What I'm worried about is this: what the heck am I going...

I have acquired (through inheritance) more firearms than I have purchased. Seems the older folks in my family like guns. Some are more common than others. Like my Winchester 77 Clip-Fed and my Mosin-Nagant Carbine, respectively. So, I've been thinking about this a bit lately, probably...

I have a client that has a ranch house (nicer than anything me and two friends could afford altoghether) on a huge piece of property in _______, TX (hey, I can't just out a guy, now, can I?). The owner is "getting into gun collecting:what: ," and thusly purchased a War Between the States era PT...

Or .45-70? Or .30-30?:confused: It's info gathering time. I'll explain. These are questions that I want answers to (one of those "Trivial Pursuit-game-winning things:rolleyes: ). Being a somewhat recent gun enthusiast results in my being asked these questions alot, also. SO.... Add...

I know that this would normally end up in the "Made Me Laugh But Deleted" box of everyone's email, but I believe this one has the merit to make it to THR. Read on. Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican? Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be...

I caught this in an email from a girl I work with. She's freshly 21 and I was somewhat surprised by her enthusiasm on the subject.;) Needless to say, I qualify for the Southern Republican category, as will most of you.:D Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican? Here is...

I'm going to need a new job soon. I'm pretty sure my tenure here is nearing an end. Most all of my coworkers think I'm a of psychopath. I spend whatever precious few moments I have at my desk (when not in the field) laughing to hysterics. Out loud. For long periods of time. ***As a...

You won't believe this. I saw a sign (one of those scrolling red things) that read, "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind." What's worse, I saw it in Texas:barf: ! Let's analyze, shall we? This thinking assumes that there are enough bad people in the world to poke out the eyes of ALL...
