Considering the number of deer I've taken with my now 65 year old M1 Carbine, I'd say that it is wholly adequate as a home defense weapon.
It was my dad's "AR" when he was a Texas DPS officer and was my first deer rifle. I still take it out in the brush when I know I'll have short range...
Because I can
The vast majority of the world cannot own firearms of any kind.
If the liberal hacks in this country interpreted the 2nd amendment the same way that they interpreted the 1st amendment, gun ownership would be mandatory.
Hey there mr Agtman
OK, So I like to exaggerate when making a point. It's more fun. :)
However, by your own numbers, and even from Georgia Arms website, the 9mm I've found costs half as much as the 10mm that GA has listed and twice as much is twice as much. And don't forget shipping. It...
Caliber
Shoot what you can afford to practice with.
9mm & .45 can be had from Russian manufacturers or army surplus all day long for not much money. All those other calibers cost half again or twice as much for simple practice ammo.
As CCW holders, we need to practice at least once a...
9mm
I picked a 9mm for my primary carry for the simple fact that I like to practice and 9mm can be had for $5.00 a box if you know where to look. All the stopping power in the world is useless if one can't hit the mark.
Hey Dogslider
I think it would have taken more than a nagging wife to keep me from kicking the living s*** out of my daughters boss if she was treated like that.
More info on Gun Emporium in Conroe
Yes, the Gun Emporium in Conroe does allow high powered rifles. They have fences at 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards. They do require you sign the standard membership waver but there's no charge for the membership. I was there today after work. Great people.
dumb and dummer
Picture this at an indoor range. True story.
Two lanes down from me. Full cammo, brand new, never been worn or washed, covered head to neck topped with a cammo hat. Brand new shiny jump boots with leggings bloused. Web belt with canteen. Was shooting some sort of...
Gun Ranges in Houston
Carter's country is a great place to shoot. It's $5.00 per gun with no time limit. They have pistol, rifle, traps and skeet. Skeet and traps are 6.50 per round.
There is also Hot Wells which is located on Hwy 290 West of Houston across from HP. the actual address is...
Dress for Success
My mode of dress incorporates being concealed so it's rather a pain in the rear to remove my pistol. Especially when I'm using my shirt tuck model with a shirt tucked in.
chambered
I agree with Thumper. Your (slide racking) hand may be engaged fending off a knife or puch or it may even just be plain injured by the time you realize you need to draw and fire. Having a round chambered is the way to go. If you don't feel comfortable that way, change guns or...
Smart Carry
I have a Tucker IWB and a Smart Carry. The Smart Carry is the best thing in the world if you like to wear overalls. With jeans or slacks, my slightly too big tummy kinda gets in the way so I've gone completely to the IWB when wearing pants but with my overalls, the Smart Carry...
Brown Bear Ammo
I haven't tried the Silver Bear but I've gone through about 4500 rounds of it's FMJ cousin, the Brown Bear. The case is listed as "bi-metal". I'm not sure what that means. I know that the cases are a softer metal than the Wolf stuff so it's probably easier on the hardware...
Nightstand
I don't keep a gun on my nightstand as I have small children that love to come into our bedroom while we are sleeping. I keep my pistol up high in my closet. I installed a Bianchi Tornado duty holster in my closet upside down next to the door. A quick push on the thumb release and...
