30-30 seems more realistic for me being in Florida. I'd like a 45-70 eventually but it would be too specialized for what I need.

I carry in the same arrangement and my left grip also has darkened noticably as well as the head of the grip screw that is up against my side developing a darker patina. I just think it adds character to the gun, makes it more my gun having my sweat and skin oils on it. However, if you are...

I have been doing similar excercises with my Ruger Mk III and Colt 1911 and it has greatly improved my accuracy and precision as well. I get a pretty bad flinch after several rounds of shooting my rifles (M91/30 Mosin Nagant and K98 Turkish Mauser). Both of which are hard on the shoulder with...

Considering the background given about the man killed's shady history, I don't seem to like him very much and am not defending his actions. However, strickly as a reason not to keep weapons for defence, the article has no merit. That article says nothing about whether the man who was killed...

Seems to me that when you look at numbers, most service caliber handgun rounds (.38sp, 9mm, .45, .40, etc...) are pretty slow. Between 800-1300 fps while most rifle rounds are twice or more that velocity, 1800-3000 fps depending on caliber. With most service handgun rounds being so slow, it...

My Colt Government Model has been eating them fine. Though it has also been spraying me with powder like evilelvis says. Alex

Does anyone know where that sign is? I saw the thread about it last year and have been wondering where it is ever since. Thanks, Alex

So far I have a B.S. in Biology and am working on a Masters. My thesis work involves shrimp growth rates in Northern Gulf of Mexico. Alex

As many have already said; there is no best style, it is a matter of the individual. Find an instructor who you can respect and is sincere about teaching, not just making money. Whatever you go with devote yourself completely to the training, don't just show up, do some moves and think you...

A mosin in the trunk but the bolt stashed some where else might be feasable. It only takes a second to put it back in and you would have that time since I assume you would not be keeping it loaded. I have acually been thinking about doing the exact same thing. Alex

Good article, minus the silly plug for gun locks. Would have been better if the writter had included the four rules in addition to just mentioning that there are rules to follow. Overall it had a good message of safety and that it was the user's fault and not the gun's. Also good that they...

Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until your sights are on target and you are ready to fire! Why can't people remember a few simple rules?:banghead: I am terribly sad that he was killed; however, I am glad that no one else had to pay the price for his mistake...

The1911guy, I would like to add my own welcome to the highroad. I am not really an active poster, in fact I think this is my first post, but I have been lurking here for a bit and have been able to grow and learn a great deal from the many useful discussions here. In addition to the list...

I'm not sure anything short of a rifle or shotgun would have put that guy down. He sounded and acted like he was drunk, high or a combination of both. I can't be sure if that was the case since they didn't say anything about it on that part of the video.

Custom Shiloh Sharps .45 caliber cartridge rifle like what Tom Selleck used in "Quigley Down Under". Alex

I go to college in N. Florida and have spent a little bit of time in Alabama. Not as nice as Alaska and Vermont but still very RKBA friendly. By the way, the fishing's great down here :) Alex

I am fortunate enough to have three gents and one lady working in the sporting goods section of the local wal-mart that regularly fish and hunt and do know more than I do about such things. It's nice to be living in the South. :D Alex

Quote: "Anyone else have to deal with this stuff from their family?" Not since hurricanes Ivan and Katrina. When power goes out for several weeks straight and grocery stores run out of perishable food, gun owners will not have to worry about starving to death. Aside from that, I grew up...

"Kills on one end... wounds on the other." Heard this about shot guns from my dad the first time I shot his 12 guage (I was 12 years old at the time :) ). I am sure the saying has been around for a lot longer. Alex
