    637 vs LCR

    The LCR will have a pinned front-sight which can easily be swapped for a fiber optic or night sight. It has the better trigger by most accounts. It also has the much, much, much more durable PVD finish. The 637's clear coat usually starts to peal. The 637 will have more grip and holster options.

    637 vs LCR

    There's only a $100 cost difference between the SP101 and the LCR in 38 special. I would save up for a months or two more for the SP101 and get what you really want, or you can purchase a used SP101 for the price of a new LCR. Based on the two options you mentioned, I'd vote for the LCR. It's...

    The country must be flooded with guns

    List it on TaurusArmed.com or Gunbroker. It will sell.

    The country must be flooded with guns

    Everything will sell and is still selling if the price is right for the current market. Right now it's a buyer's market, so even manufacturers are offering rebates and lowering prices. I'd have no problem selling Taurus and other budget priced pistols. I see them selling for more than I...

    The country must be flooded with guns

    Certain guns will sell faster and easier than others. Thousands of used guns are selling on Gunbroker, ArmsList, firearm forums, used at pawn and LGS, etc. each and every day. Even more NIB guns sell. Have you ever simply thought that their isn't much of a market or interest for whatever gun...

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    Both sides of the aisle have to be sales people to others in the legislation and voters to get bills passed. Just like with firearms, ammo, cars, movies, books, etc., they have to use buzz words and phrases to the bill sound more palatable.

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    His first two shots looked to be at an angle shooting through a cracked door, and his last shot appeared to be direct at the driver's side window that didn't appear to be affected much. North Carolina has a Stand your Ground law which it views a vehicle as being simular to one's home with...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    After the fact and both the victim and the carjacker disengaged, the firearm and everything that happened prior was no logical a factor to him being killed. Not having situational awareness is what got him killed.

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    He paid the price because he wasn't watching his surroundings after the fact. Had he been paying attention and got to safety while the carjacker was going into reverse, he wouldn't have been struck. Yes, there are things like not getting involved in the first place or just letting the carjacker...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    Whether he was shot at, spit on, punched, grabbed, stabbed, etc, I think the carjacking would have retaliated. It's not really about the gun. He was getting out of the street in the video. He didn't run in front of the truck but rather the guy driving the truck targeted him as he was running...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    I think he had his back turned and wasn't expecting or paying attention to the vehicle barreling back towards him until it was too late. Several bystanders were yelling for him to get out the way, but it didn't seem that he was aware of the danger or moving too fast to get out of it. As an...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    This isn't a loaded question, nor am I'm asking just to debate your answer. I'm curious to know your personal opinion. Do you believe it's your responsibility as a legal gun owner to protect and defend able bodied adults who are strangers who make the conscious choice not to carry or take steps...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    I don't think non static on the move defensive training classes in a safe controlled environment shooting at static targets that aren't shooting back is enough to prepare for a lethal encounter. Things don't always work out the way with scripted it on our heads in the real world.

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    They aren't throwing anyone under the bus. They, me included, are throwing a method of carry under the bus ONLY. They have the right to have and express their negative opinions about OC as others have the right to have the complete opposite opinion. It's not a personal attack no more than it's a...

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    As I stated, other states have similar laws, but it's not going to stop law enforcement from still stopping and temporarily detaining you. There are even dozens of YouTube "audit" channels that purposely stand outside of business and police stations video taking or who go open carrying purposely...

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    It's the same way in a lot of states, but that's not going to stop law enforcement from stopping or the general public from dailing 911 (then L.E. stops you). You still maybe harassed, will have to follow orders, and will have zero recourse after the fact.

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    Ummm, yes they can and will. All it takes is for the majority of voters to vote representatives into office who will rescind that "right."

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    Last month I was at a Little Cesar's pizza restaurant. There was a gentleman there who was open carrying who was robbed at gun point by two masked men. This was at a busy shopping center, and there were 8 or so customers (me included), standing right next to the guy that was robbed. I could have...

    Do you decrease potential firearms purchases because of Form 4473 & FFL interaction?

    I don't care, but I've heard of people getting visits from law enforcement after purchasing multiple firearms. An ex-girlfriend of mine had law enforcement knock on her door about purchasing multiple firearms at once. The ATF has retroactively found various firearm accessories to be...

    Do you decrease potential firearms purchases because of Form 4473 & FFL interaction?

    I've transferred 3 or more firearms at a time several times over in the past. I have a couple of FFLs in my area who charge one fee for up to 3 serials and then $5 each afterward, so I will typically buy 3 or so of guns I want to save on transfer fees. The most I've done was 10 stripped ar15 lowers.
