    What gun(s) are you currently hiding from the wife/gf?

    I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. My wife and I just considered them all "Our Guns". She likes to shoot 'her' P model Rugers and I like to shoot 'my' Ruger revolvers. While I do most of the research on whatever we're interested in, she always goes with me to pick them up. She did say last...

    What is .45? Auto? ACP?

    You probably know this but you mentioned 9mm. The 9mm is the bullet diameter in millimeters and .45 is the diameter in inches. The ol' metric vs "King's English" debate. I'm sure someone here will correct me If I'm wrong.

    My gun saved me today.

    -fiddleharp, ha ha. Yes, a frozen turkey would really have done it. -ganymede, I agree with your basic response. I don't know what I would have done in your shoes.

    My gun saved me today.

    This is a different scenario but my 70 year-old brother had just just left a grocery after buying a frozen chicken. It was dark and a younger man grabbed his arm in the parking lot and said, "Give me your money!". My brother unthinkingly smacked the guy in the head with the frozen chicken and...

    Most impractical gun you own?

    Surprized no one's mentioned the 40-watt phased plasma rifle yet. Geeky looking. Can't be used for hunting; vaporizes organic matter. Expensive. Doubles electric bill when charging capacitors,etc. Still...love that purple glow. And anything beats my jam-o-matic Calico M-100.

    how to tell a friend he is careless with guns

    If he does this around a friend, I shudder to think of what he does at a shooting range. When the kids were young I tied a flashlight to a rifle (with the bolt removed) and had them individually wave it around after telling them that wherever the light went, a bullet could go. We were in the...

    change of mind from 9mm to .45acp

    You could just end up with both. Happened to me. Started a switch to .45 in the belief that it is a 'better' quick stop round. Got some assorted 9mm expanding rounds, etc. Now I have both to feed and care for. Whited. I'm having trouble finding dealers in plasma rifles? Any help will be...

The Good sites will show where you don't need chemicals or hot water (hot water is fine for the metal but not the wood) to clean the stored weapons. What you need is dry heat...

    For Taurus 605 and 85 owners

    Had an 85ch. Very nice shooter. First gun my daughter ever fired (age 12 at the time, she liked it!). Sold it to a very good friend about 10 years ago. He still has it and carries it. I got a Ruger SP101 for the .357 option. I think he shoots +P's in it.
