Greetings all After stupidly passing up on one of these earlier on this year, I came across another and snapped it up immediately when I discovered it in the case a few weeks ago. It is not new of course, only new to me. This is a .45 LC revolver, and it says Vaquero on the side, not...

Every now and then this topic comes up here. And every time it does, some worthy soul comes along to explain why only paranoid people carry in their own homes. Well, paranoid people and those who live in bad neighborhoods where they know home invasions are imminent. :uhoh: I am neither...

Greetings all We were cleaning out a storage room in the house, and came across some pictures that never made it onto the walls when we moved. Below is one of them. This is an unretouched photo taken back in 1985. It has suffered the ravages of time, including getting wet at one point, so...

Greetings all Mrs. Plinker has just authorized me to uhhh, pull the trigger, as they say, on a new compact M&P. I am not what you would call an indecisive sort, but I find myself vacillating between the .40 and the 9mm. On the one hand, I have developed a love for larger calibers. On the...

Last night I was at a dinner with like minded folk, followed by a "field trip" to the local gun shop. At that shop, they had what I considered to be a deal on a Mark I Desert Eagle. More importantly, Mrs. Plinker thought it was a deal too, so it followed me home. :D Now I am looking for a...

For all of you who don't think people should carry in church. This happened at a time other than the Sunday worship service, but it still happened in a church. In a related article, her father stated she had bi-polar disorder, so maybe some of you will say she should not have had a gun anyway...

I came across an old style Ruger Blackhawk .45 Long Colt with the mottled finish. It is in the used section of the gun case, but as best as I can tell, it was never fired. Apparently it was part of a large collection from someone selling it off. It still has that plastic disk that comes in...

http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2008/jan/15/no-headline-15sgfcol/ I didn't see this posted anywhere else, so I hope to evade the duplicate police. :neener: But it does make me at least a little angry. According to the journalist, owning a gun is pretty much a defining characteristic for being...

I know how much everyone loves these Walmart threads, especially Justin. But this is a good one. :) I was forced by the youngest Plinkette to take her shopping for Mrs. Plinker's Christmas presents, and she wanted to go to Walmart. I figured since I was there, I would pick up a couple of...

Well, anticipation may be more than realization. I got to pick up my Colt Series 80 Gold Cup this morning, and immediately took it out to the range. It is a fine looking piece of work, with virtually no wear on it at all. It was built in 1986, and I have receipts that came with it dated early...

Greetings all In the next couple of weeks I will be picking up the Colt .45 Gold Cup I bought at the last gun show. Mrs. Plinker made me put it on layaway and it has become my Christmas present. :rolleyes: I have been looking at some of the various .22 conversion kits out there for the...

I did not see this one posted anywhere yet. This appeared in the Morning Call, from Allentown PA. Overall the article was well written, especially coming from this paper - well, maybe any paper, but this one is pretty anti most of the time...

This might get locked early on, but it is about guns. :evil: A little bit anyway. http://www.comicspage.com/shoe/index.html

Today I attended the second gun show of my life. I did not really intend to buy anything, but rather looked at it as a time to get to know my daughter's fiancé a little better. So at 8:55 AM we were sitting in the parking lot with a lot of other people waiting for the doors to open. We got...

Greetings all I find myself about to travel to Ohio for business. OH does not honor my PA CCW, and searching on a number of pages of links has not revealed any useful information for me about transporting my pistole with me while I am in the paradise of OH. So, if anyone can point me to...

Like many men, I hate having change jingling around in my pocket. Every day at the end of the day it goes into a large ceramic mug that is no longer used to hold beer. It does not matter that I know I will need change the next day, and the next day I put more change in the mug. Last time the...

I have read all I can find in the archives about Beam Hit, but none of it seems to be very recent. Is there anyone here who has been using it for a while now, and who might care to offer their thoughts on it? Durability, value, customer service, etc are things in which I am interested. Thanks.

I am planning on being in NC in the near future, and according to the reciprocity map on www.handgunlaw.us NC honors my PA permit. But upon reading through the text, I came to this line (italics and emphasis mine): 2. May I get a permit to carry a concealed weapon in North Carolina...

Greetings everyone I recently got involved in trap shooting with a 12 gauge Remington 870 I bought a couple of months ago. I am having a blast (so to speak), even though I need a lot more practice before the birds start to shake in their shoes. My 15 year old daughter is interested in...

I would like to get an idea of what people here think is deadly force. Is it the mere display of a weapon, or is it actually using it? I already know what I think, so that is not an issue. But in one thread going on now, and in others, I see people equating the display of a gun with deadly...
