My birthday was last week. My lovely wife wanted to get me a P6 that I've been talking about for months. However, not being gun-buying-savvy, she opted to give me four crisp $100 bills with which I could buy my own pistol. After a bit of perusing I determined that I would buy my P6 from J&G...

I had previously posted details about the experience I had buying my P232 in this thread... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=378895 Recently I had the chance to get this pistol on the range and, well, I must say, WOW! I am impressed. I simply love this pistol. The pistol...

Subject pretty much says it. I was laughing at this thread... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=385539 ...when I thought, "Hey. You know... it's be cool to snap a pic of a deer or whatever if you suddenly, for whatever reason, decide not to take the shot." Maybe a shutter...

Camera phones, being as prevalent as they are, make this easy enough. So snap a pic of your local Victim Disarmament Zones and post 'em. Here's a couple I took: A bank in the building where I work... Costco near home... This needs not become a discussion on property rights...

One or two of you may have read my "Good buying story" thread here... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=378895 During that trip I scored a $50 gift card. So the wife and I are bored and she suggests a trip to Cabela's (remembering that I had the gift card). We roll over and...

My lovely step-daughter asked me about pepper spray and if I thought she should have some. She has a pistol I gifted to her for HD, but she's only 19 and can't carry it out. So, of course, I said that in the absence of something else, sure. It's better than harsh language. But a knife and a...

A good experience coming out of the Cabela's in Glendale, AZ. I've been on the hunt (informally) for a stainless Sig P232. They're kind of spendy ($858 MSRP), so I pretty much gave up having one for the time being seeing as how when funds get to around $670 or I so usually buy something...

I often see posts asking what someone should do in a given situation. The parameters for suggestions change all the time. It always stuck me as pretty funny when people purposefully go beyond the parameters given and suggest something else totally. Like someone asking, "What cowboy-action...

Stopped in at a pawn shop near downtown Phoenix today. Look at what I saw... A Glock 27 marked down from $850 to $750! An FNP-9! Was $735. Now... $735! And the Coup de grâce! This sign sat next to a gold plated AK priced at $3500. I was stopped from taking any...

When I carry I carry in an IWB holster. As (bad) luck would have it, my size is such that, while my pants are comfortable when not carrying, they are uncomfortable when carrying. And pants that I can carry in comfortably are to loose when not carrying. Soooo... I actually have different...

I wonder... since Cali has passed their law and will eventually enforce it, what if all arms makers just said, "Nope. Not selling in California anymore." Would that be good or bad if the manufactures did that? Good because it makes a point and puts LE in a tough spot (having to use...

Looked through a few pages of search results with no answer. Soooo.... I know very well that .223 Remington and 5.56x45 NATO aren't completely interchangeable (.223 in a 5.56, but not the other way). Are the .308 and 7.62x51 interchangeable? More specifically, is anyone using 7.62x51mm...

Because I'm jazzed about it, and I like taking pictures, here's what I got over the weekend. I passed on it at the Crossroads gun show over and over, seeing it for sale from several people. Prices ranged from $325 to $350. I spotted a used one for sale from a pawn broker for $310. I'm glad...

I was just at Crossroads this weekend (disappointing), and while looking at the ammo, I began to wonder why I'm bothering. I noticed that the price of the ammo was about the same as online, in some cases even with shipping. As well, I was looking for a new gun but managed to avoid buying it...

I think few would argue that the 1911 isn't completely ubiquitous in realm of firearm designs. They're everywhere and everybody and his brother makes 'em. You can't pick up a gun rag without finding a 1911 someplace in it, usually on the cover. Obviously it's a solid and reliable design which...

Something I saw earlier caught my eye and started the ol' gears turning in my head. What gun laws, existing or not, do you feel ARE appropriate? I'm sure we all immediately think "None". That's my first thought. But I have to admit, one or two might not be so bad. Like certain convicted...
