    Current handgun trends

    Can't help but notice that my most recent handgun purchases have not been the big comforting Ruger revolvers that I enjoy shooting but smaller plastic guns that are not so much fun to shoot but fit in my pocket or just weigh less.

    Jim Cirillo's Bullet designs - Anybody selling them?

    If Cirillo's bullet design is better than what is available it seems that one of the big ammo manufacturers would be selling it in loaded ammo?

    Jim Cirillo's Bullet designs - Anybody selling them?

    Isn't that the way it is... Patton was killed by a drunk driver too, as I recall... seems like there's some other famous soldier / gunfighter / somebody who got killed in a car crash / by a drunk driver, but I can't recall at the moment... Tom Mix 1940?

    Why does the U.S. military require manual safeties on pistols?

    To those it offends to have to remember to disengage a safety, you have the option of not (re) enlisting. Besides the Army prefers to use artillery or air support much more than side arms.

    Why does the U.S. military require manual safeties on pistols?

    "As for safeties. When you are cold, wet, hungry, covered in mud and haven't slept for 3 days, it is very important that your weapon have an On/Off button to make sure it only goes bang when what little is left of your mind decides so." This is the answer. Stress and fatigue, and showing off...

    Anybody have a very short rifled barrel?

    ScottyT, Test fire a Moisin Nagant M-44 carbine before butchering one of the long rifles. The carbines are dirt cheap. You might change your mind about wanting a smaller 7.62 x 54R.

    "a .22 in the head turns your brain to red pudding that will ooze out your ears and the hole of impact. by the time you hit the ground. that said .22 = 100% one shot stop. Do I carry a .22 for this fact NOT USUALLY but I have." Young Marine, There are many people walking around with 22 bullets...

    Concealed Permit

    Need to test Fire Guns Before buying, you need to hold and shoot the various guns to see how they fit and feel in your hands and how well you can shoot them. Have you also considered small Glocks? They are less likely to rust out in your climate. Also cost of ammunition? 9mm Parabellum...

    3 months for a lcp! or get raped

    What's the problem? Just wait until the price comes down to your level. Owning a new gun is not usually a life or death issue; if it is, buy another model.

    Massad Ayoob Strikes again

    Round Nose vs Hollow Point Over penetration issues caused the NYPD to change from RN to HP. It is a legitimate consideration in crowded locations. In most situations the HPs are also more effective than the RNs. Most US PDs now use HPs, I have not heard that rank and file police officers or...

    Ok, so what's up with Ruger, John Wayne was a Colt man.

    "Ok, so what's up with Ruger, John Wayne was a Colt man." All of the above and consider the Wayne Estate licensed the use of his name for this project. The fantasy that is Hollywood meets todays business needs.

    Ruger (New) Vaquero frame size question

    "I was convinced that someone would, but I don't recall reading any reports of that happening, so either (1) I missed 'em! or (2) people are smarter than I think (ha!, maybe luckier?) or (3) these things are stronger than we're giving them credit for." Possibly all 3, but I suspect /hope...
