    Mouse Guns : YOUR Definition, CCW, etc. ?

    Anything smaller than a Glock 27 qualifies as a mouse gun for me. I bought a Ruger LCP II, recently, after surgery limited my carry options. I've been very impressed with accuracy and feel of this pistol. It has become my backup as I am back to carrying my 27 or 23 now.

    What 5 Guns only forever?

    Ruger MK II 22 lr Glock 21 45acp CZ 452 Trainer Remington 700 in .308 Win Colt Lightweight Sporter AR Covers all the needs and most of the wants. I'm a lousy wing shot so, no shotgun. It would just be wasted ammo.

    Anyone else have delays with NICS today?

    Mt Shooter "My ccw has a nics number on it. No phone call is needed, they fill out some paper and I sign to verify the serials match and out the door I go. Isn't it that way everywhere? That was not meant to be a smart a$$ but I just assumed it was that way everywhere. Yes/no" In Alabama...

    Buying a 10mm Glock soon -- thoughts?

    The Glock 20 is an excellent pistol. I carry a .45acp model 30 or 21 for ccw, but my 20 often gets the nod for camping, hiking, canoeing as it is a better caliber for mtn lion and black bear, should the need arise. Mine is very accurate with every ammo I've shot in it, and easier to carry than...

    Looking for my first gun

    Good advice, so far. I would avoid Taurus, though they aren't too bad. Out of the ones you listed, I like Glock and Sig the best. Very reliable and accurate. Get your hands on as many models as you can to see how they fit you and make your decision based on that. Jay

    Glock 26 or S&W M&P Compact

    The Glock 26, definitely. I admit to being a Glock Guy, I own most of the currently produced models. My main problem with the Smith is their past history with polymer pistols. The M&P is by all accounts the one where they finally got it right, but hasn't been around long enough for me to buy...

    My Next Gun

    I noticed an M1 Garand on your list. If your serious about one, the sooner you buy it the better off you will be, IMO. Prices seem to keep going up the last several years and I doubt that will change. If your a history buff as well as a gun enthusiast it would be tough to beat adding an M1 to...

    NEED HELP INSTALLING SCHERER SUPER 2 MAG EXTENSIONS!

    Another reccomendation to get rid of them, except maybe for use at the range. I used to have them on my G21 mags I used in IDPA comp, but never used them for defensive carry. In the .45 they will only add one, two in the 10mm. When you get a model 30 for concealed carry, I highly reccomend the...

    right hand, left eye dominant, anybody else with this issue?

    Just the opposite for me, left handed and right eye dominant. My older brother, who is left handed, tried to teach me to shoot and I couldn't hit the barn from inside the barn. Very strong dominance in my case, left eye was practically useless for shooting. Once a neighbor,a Marine Gunny...

    Michigan Man Arrested for Open Carry

    Definitely good news. Now, did they return his pistol? Be willing to bet they drag their heels as much as possible. Jay

    $200 Scope

    That Nikon Monarch would be a steal for under two hundred. What power range are you looking at? Some of the Weaver scopes can be had in the under or around two hundred and have very good glass. www.theopticzone.com is a pretty good source, IMO. Jay

    Help me decide between a shotgun or a pistol.

    A good pump gun is always nice to have around. I agree with VegasOPM, get the shotgun and expand the collection a bit. Perfect for HD and a lot of fun with light game loads, and still pretty cheap to shoot. Jay

    Advice for a first time handgun buyer

    Jeff, If you have any indoor ranges close to you they probably have rental guns. The few indoor ranges around here(about 60 miles away) have had a pretty good selection of rental guns. Using the rental guns is how I selected my firtst semi-auto pistol. Must have shot every major type in...

    The latest from Anti gun NY state!

    I've lived almost all my life in Alabama and it still amazes me the number of people here that think a license is needed to own a firearm. I work part time for a friends gun shop and see it every week. No license to purchase or keep in the home required. Only license needed for CCW on your...

    Best bet would be to contact the Canadian govt. Nearest consulate should be able to hook him up with the necessary information. Jay

    What do YOU want in your local gun store?

    Lots of good ideas, so far. About all I can do is reiterate CUSTOMER SERVICE. Acknowledge everyone who walks in the door, even if you are currently working with another customer. Lets the new guy know he has been seen and is not being ignored. Most people can see your with another customer at...

    Moving from Hou. to Pitt. need gun law advise

    "PA allows you to carry in a vehicle as long as you have a license/permit from any other state. That's only for vehicle carry. Concealed carry on your person, outside of your vehicle, requires either a PA permit or a permit from a state recognized by PA -- which is not every state" I had to...

    CCW in SHELBY CO., AL

    My understanding is that you "may" be issued a permit at age 19, which is the legal age of majority in Alabama (only state in the country where it isn't 18, IIRC). Many Sherrifs exercise their discretion and require applicants to be 21, unless you have family connections. Sucks, but welcome to...
