Me, too.

Rather sad to see such an animal go like this, but interesting none the less: http://www.outdoorlife.com/outdoor/photogallery/article/0,20036,1184919_1532025,00.html

I love my .45-70s. Absolutely. Of course I love my .30-06s and .30-30s, too, but not as much as my .45-70s. My favorite is my Marlin 1895SS with microgroove rifling. I have a Lyman 66S peep sight on it. With Remington 300 grain HPs it's good for a 3 inches or less at 100 yards. My...

I'm certainly not interested in getting into a pissing match with anyone. But I will say the "cooridnated home defense plan" gets all shot to hell once an intruder ducks behind a wall. "Excuse me sir, that's not part of the plan, please stand over there where I can shoot you." I hope he...

I love this thread and have been following it for days. I have an SP101, but it's all stock. You guys have convinced be to buy a Houge monogrip. Maybe rosewood.

I've never shot anyone and hope I never have to. I can't think of much that would be more life-altering. I don't keep a shotgun handy for home defense - though I know its probably the best weapon. But I do keep a .357 handy. And even then I worry about over penetration. So I keep the...

Just because. And I think that's really the answer. Someone found a way to get a little closer to .357 mag power in a short auto cartridge. And SIG found a cartridge it could attach its name to.

I started a thread on this round a week or so ago. The .38 Super is great round. I had a ss Colt Combat Commander in .38 Super and loved it. I sold it years ago, but now I'm in a position to replace it and I'm going to in the next few months. Factory loads appear to be very close to...

I think it was about 10-15 feet. She was standing at the end of a walkway, he was in the drive-way calling 911 when she shot him. They had both been in the house, she came out of the bedroom with the gun. They grappelled and he didn't want her to get hurt so he shoved her back and went...

I have a friend who was shot in the ass with a "dove load" of #8 shot. His girlfriend shot him after an argument. She tried to shoot him in the crotch, but he spun around when he saw her with his gun. The impact point was the rear right leg, right where the top of the thigh and lower buttock...

Even easier way to tell - from a distance... The 1911 has no scalloped area behind the trigger, the 1911-A1 does.

I own and have owned a bunch of Rugers, and ALL of them (save one) have been superb. I've sold some and now wish I still had them. I own a GP-100 that I will never part with. In fact, when I reduced my handgun collection down to one centerfire and a couple of .22s, it was the GP-100 I...

thanks for the links. it will keep me busy. But just a quick perusal and it looks like Kimbers are well regarded.

I used to own quite a few 1911 handguns but only two brands - Colt, and Springfield Armory. Kids get older, interests wane, and I sold all 1911 guns I used to own. Now I'm intersted in replacing those guns and there are some other 1911 brands on the market now that interest me, but that I have...

Defense costs are probably the most over-estimated aspect of any civil suit. Many people think that defending a case costs multiple tens of thousands of dollars. High profile cases may cost that much. But in my opinion, a run-of the-mill citizen would not incur such costs. It wouldn't be...

I have a Golden 39A with a 2-7X Weaver scope. It has a gold plated trigger, but no gold swivels. Never heard of that. BTW, whether it's golden or not, it's a great gun. Mine is a deathray on squirrels.

I'm an adjuster for an insurance company. I investigate claims to determine liability, and then settle those claims to the extent of legal liability. In the many years I have been doing this job, I've never run across an injury or wrongful death claim resulting from a self-defense shooting...

Steel.

From a private owners viewpoint, I've owned three: two blued models and one with stainless slide. I shot the ever-loving-hell out of one of the blued models - well over 10,000 rounds. It may sound like BS, but I can't, for the life of me, ever remember a malfunction. The finish had a lot of...

The enhanced version, in Commander length, was exactly what I had. I had put a Videki trigger on it, Wolf Springs, cocobolo grips, and a Bar Sto barrel. I'm kicking myself for ever selling it.
