Thanks for everyone's input! I certainly got the "spectrum" of viewpoints that I need to make an informed decision about this "scary" and very real problem. Judging from most of your answers I'd say that the BG's now have much more of a "problem" than they used to. HHank, NRA Member

Hey class! The "bad guy's" are kicking our doors in and storming unsuspecting or sleeping homeowners all over America! I have several questions that I need answered by this "August" group. (1) What immediate action do I take when I think our security perimeter has been breached? (2) Don't...

BlindJustice's quote:"Let me make a wag, the original poster never posted again right?" *Wrong*. See posts #1 and #57. And thanks for your input. Some of the comments and especially the pictures of the "Bear Attack" were quite informative and unsettleing (to say the least). This reality check...

Thanks to *ALL* for your replies to this dangerous question! I am new to this board and was not aware of previous posts on this topic.(nor about the legal dicussion restrictions). Judgeing from the answers, the information given may be "priceless" to some "novices" that think they know more than...

Hey Class! My wife and a do a lot of hikeing in the MetroParks (some of which can be pretty "wild"). While there are no grizzly's there (that we know of) there are some black bears, bands of coyotes, herds of deer, etc. Anyway, the question came up that in a "tight" (at close range) how...

Thanks to all for great answeres to what seems to be universal problem. What I have "learned" from the response(s) is that it probably is, may be, might be, well perhaps, then again, might not be O.K. If my understanding of math is still current, (a big if) then storing guns in leather holsters...

Hey class, I have a really "dumb" question that needs to be resolved for once and for all. "Is it adviseable to store your handguns away in a gun safe in their holsters?" If not, why not. How long can this be done without harm to the weapon? What is the proper treatment for firearms that will...

Thanks Klusterbuck, I guess there's not much interest in this subject. It's just that I see so many "pristene" holsters displayed in various pictures on this board that I just wondered how they are maintained. Or maybe they are used only for "show". NRA MEMBER

I have a rather small safe (3.0 cu.ft) in which I store some documents and also a couple of my guns (Colt 1911 and S&W M-29 5" .44 mag) The Colt rides in a Bianchi Govt. model .45 holster and the .44 rides in a Bianchi 5bhl. Both are tan leather. The problem is that when taking them in and out...

Thanks much to all for the insightful info'. I now have a much better understanding about the "inward" workings as well as renewed respect for my Colt. (love the picture) It is my first Colt, and after listening to you guy's I guarantee that it won't be my last!

I purchased a Colt government model 1991 series 80 about a year and a half ago and I love it. However, since I bought it I have heard so much good info' about the series "70" that I am wondering what the difference is? I know they are somewhat more expensive but why? Did I make a mistake...

".357 Gun Malfuction?" Thanks for the information. In answer to starter52, yes this is an 80's era . 357. It was my fathers. It has operated successfully with loads lighter than 145 gr. but I don't remember which one. I think as timothy75 suggests I'll try a lesser load (maybe 125 gr.) and...

My wife and I recently visited a local gun range where we shot several of our collections. She has a High Standard .357 and we seemed to notice a little "gas backflow" in our noses and a lot of fire discharge. Also the extractor would not push the used shells from the chambers, we had to push...

I have a S&W 29-5 Classic .44 magnum with pachymar rubber grips. (5"barrel, fully underlugged). I'd like to change the grips to maybe a Hogue conversion set. The gun has a round butt with some kind of "bracket" attached to the bottom with a hole in it for the screw to fit into. Do wood grips fit...

Thanks for all your responses to my question(s). I have taken your suggestions into great consideration. I think that I might "dress" this gun up with a set of S&W checkered walnut combat grips, and a Milt Sparks holster. Do you think that I'll ruin the "asthetic" image of this beautiful piece...

I just purchased this gun. A S&W .44 Magnum model 29-5 Classic. It is a blued version with black pebbled finger grooved pachymar grips with S&W insignias. It has a 5 inch full underlugged barrel. I hear these are rare. I've read many articles that favor this barrel length over the 4". It was...
