    I need a self defense weapon

    to protect myself and mine, because - 1) I'm a 20 yo South LA crack dealer with a Glock in my baggy pants - or 2) I'm a 30 yo old paranoid with a nickel plated .44 mag under my pillow - or 30 I'm a 40 yo redneck who's seen too many John Wayne movies with a cheap pump gun in the closet.

    Every Iraqi has an AK47

    So do most Yemanis, Somalis, etc. Are they safe? Virtually no Japanese, Dane or Swizz carries. Who's safer? Get the point?.....Naw, guess not.

    Safety Question about older Shotgun

    Guns from the 20s and 30s can be perfectly safe to shoot with modern ammo. I shot my father's Rem M11 (built 1906) for many years. have a competent gunsmith check it out, and if he says okay, shoot it.

    Got a question about the Pardner Pumps-

    You can get a perfectly good, brand spanking new 870 for $275 at Walmart. Why would you do anything else?

    Multiple shotgun and shotgunning questions; RE: 11-87

    There's probaly nothing wrong with either you or your shotgun except that you're afflicted with "rifleman's disease". When you learn to shoot a rifle, it's all about precision. Time is meaningless. take as long as necessary to produce a stable, staitionary aim point. Shotgun shooting is...

    Unusual Aftermarket Trap Barrel

    It's been "Parkerized", which is just a trade name for ordnary zinc phosphate. It's an immersion process, so the barrel is coated inside and out. Most factories hone it out of the bore on new barrels. As long as it chambers shells okay, go ahead and shoot it. it's pretty soft and will wear...

    Rem 1100 stock change

    Forget the screwdrivers. It's a hexhead bolt with a screw slot. Use a thinwall socket and you can't slip or damage the stock.

    True cylinder is fine for 12 gauge with #9 shot. Larger shot or smaller gauges, use skeet, about .005" constriction, a little more for .410.

    Self Defense loads in shotgun

    <<<<Quote: I've never known anyone, ever, who has found themselves in a postion where the use of lethal force would have been appropriate. Fine, but that doesn't mean it's never happened to anyone you don't know. If you've never seen the NRA's The Armed Citizen column, every month usually...

    Self Defense loads in shotgun

    <<<Yes it might be nice if you could use a ranged weapon that is non lethal to stop someone from stealing something, but legaly you cannot. For that you must be physical and up close and personal to be legal. Only Hollywood and old stories in a world not full of lawsuits use rocksalt to shoot at...

    Advice on SHOTGUN Purchase

    Buy the very cheapest gun you can find...$50 or less. You chances of needing to use deadly force are somewhat smaller than being eaten by a shark, or dying in an airplane crash.

    What does a $30,000 shotgun bring to the table?

    Different strokes for different strokes, eh? You can drive to California in a Hyundai , a Mercedes, or a Ferrari. They'll all do the job. Me, I'd rather have a Hyundai and a mint Rem 32 than a Mercedes and a JC Higgins.

    Problem with my Remington 1100 12 guage

    "My O-ring is fine. The problem is a lot more worrysome. I suspect the carrier assembler might have been slightly out of spec?" Remington makes good, reliable guns, but it's possible they could have done something wrong, or the gun could have been damaged somehow. You say it's a new gun...

    Police trade in 1100s?

    "About the O-ring - bought one as a spare last year for a 20ga skeet model. About 4000 rounds later, it still doesn't need the ring." I've heard about 1100 O-rings being fragile, but...my wife put probably 10K rounds through her first 1100, and it never needed a new O-ring. Her new 1100 has...

    Problem with my Remington 1100 12 guage

    "My rem.1100 did the same thing,Gunsmith told me it was due to the O-rings that needed to be replaced.Don,t ask me what a o-ring is,but it works fine now." No offense intended, but if you're going to shoot an 1100, you really need to know what an O-ring is. It, and the other parts of the gas...

    Question on Remington Skeet B

    The skeet-B hasn't been made for quite a few years. I sold one some years ago, and this year replaced it with a Rem tournament skeet which uses choke tubes. The new gun was $700. I would have rather bought a skeet-B, but couldn't find one. As the previous poster said, the skeet-B is built on...

    what do you load in your HD shotgun ?

    <<For all those answering bird shot, you really need to re-think this, as provided earlier check out the box 'o truth links. But if you want to wound the intruder, only to have them fire back with a round that was meant to stop a man then carry on. It is called "bird shot" for a reason, it...

    What does a $30,000 shotgun bring to the table?

    <<It's just a fact that some people happen to shoot really well with a very common shotgun, so well that it will take a REALLY expensive one to make a positive impact on their shooting. And I don't think there's anything wrong with an SKB. I like them. I was just illustrating that for the guy...

    what do you load in your HD shotgun ?

    I don't load guns inside houses or vehicles; my guns are in an upstairs closet, and ammo is in a storage room. My HD weapon is loaded with Alpo.
