Gomez, thanks for the links. My friend Jason also owns one here in Atlanta called Airsoft Tactical. Here is the link: http://www.airsofttactical.com/ Shoeless

My friend owns an Airsoft store here in Atlanta and I've shot some of his guns in his store's range. I would say that for training yourself on the rules of safe handling and trigger control, they're fine. But they don't even come close to what firing an actual gun feels like. They are super...

I store my ammo in sets of either eight, ten, or five, depending on which gun is with me at the time. :) Shoeless

My East German Makarov. It was the first gun I ever bought, so it has some sentimental value, but moreso just because it's a great gun. Shoeless

I love competition, even if I suck at what I'm doing. If I am relatively sure I can improve, I'll keep at it. Sure, the first few times you're nervous, but the really cool thing is that after a little while, you learn to control that nervousness and focus it. You learn to block out the fact...

Not at all! Mike Benedict of Talon Tactical, did it. He doesn't have (or he didn't at the time, anyway) have a mold for a Makarov so I had to actually leave the gun with him for a few days. He can be reached at [email protected] Also, check out his web site: Talon Tactical...

I don't care for Fobus, myself. I tried one a while back for my Makarov and I literally could NOT get the gun in it. After a few phone calls to Fobus, they told me to loosen it up by heating it with a hair dryer. I tried that, and eventually it loosened to the point that I could get the gun in...

I will pray extra hard that this deluded, self-important pig fabricates just enough of his "documentary" to get himself a gigantic slander (or is it libel?) lawsuit slapped on him and he goes broke and gets exposed for the liar that he is. Shoeless

LOL... there's a whole bunch of us fragile little flowers who'd beg to differ. :D What am I gonna do, throw it at the guy? Yeesh. Shoeless

I saw this promo on tv too and found myself telling the overly dramatic voiceover announcer man "two to COM oughta work in that situation." No, I don't usually talk to the tv. :) Shoeless

I'm with ya. I'm a woman, and even the very first time I ever shot a gun (I was about 28 at the time I think) I wasn't scared or intimidated or anything like that. I just don't get why there is so much hysteria surrounding the little machines. It's not like they're magic or something and they...

I don't know Carlyle, but I'll send off a card tomorrow morning. I hope he pulls through this okay. Shoeless

I'll never understand... I'll never understand why people think that scaring the bejezus out of another person (let alone someone they LIKE) is funny. I have never enjoyed practical jokes or pranks, even as a kid. When I teach my basic pistol class, I tell people that when they have a gun...

Great! Just wanted to notify you of some upcoming pistol classes I'll be assistant instructing in the Atlanta area. Saturday April 19:NRA Basic Pistol, 8am-6pm, tuition $100. Includes range fees, all ammo and firearms use, eye & ear protection if needed. This course is intended for new...

I am assistant teaching two classes in the next month with David Blinder here in Atlanta, and wanted to know if this is the appropriate forum to promote them. Thanks! Shoeless

That's how a lot of the gun industy is for some reason. It sucks that people act that way, especially to new shooters. I would never take that tone. When a student says "clip" I smile and say (in a kind and gentle manner) "actually, a clip goes into your hair or helps you to load a...

We can agree to disagree, however, I'm not using the word. As an NRA instructor, I'm instructed NOT to use the word, as well and I have no problem with that. Shoeless

Nobody said anything about downplaying it. Nobody said anything about not respecting it. It's purely language, which, IMO, is important. As I said, YMMV. You call it what you will, but I'll not refer to it as a weapon with my students or those coming to the range for practice. Shoeless

Ok, one more time... IT'S NOT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT. Got it? The media uses language against the gun community all the time, so it does create perception, regardless of how much we pretend it doesn't. How many of us are aggravated when we hear the term "assault weapon" for any kind of rifle...

Agreed. The language by which we refer to firearms is important to establish mindset. A weapon is anything used with the intent to inflict damage. A firearm is simply the machine itself. Neutral. A firearm is a firearm, until it's used as a weapon, just like a baseball bat is a baseball bat...
