    I'm so proud!

    Today I took the wife to the fun store to try on some potential Homeland Security shotguns, and had an experience that made me fall in love all over again. They had a WASR-10 on the rack, and as I fondled it, she remarked, "That's cute." Granted, cute isn't the word I would use for it, but heck...

    HD shotgun conundrum... advice?

    I am in the market for a shotgun for HD use. This is something that I would like my wife to be able to handle effectively should I be absent/incapacitated for any reason. Brand is not my issue. I already figure it'll be a Mossy 500/590 or a Remington 870 express (the stock on the 870 puts it in...

    Practice Drills

    Like most everyone here who CCWs, I like to spend a few minutes practicing drawing from concealment, and reloads a few nights a week. However, I'm also a relative newb, and was wondering: -What everyone else's particular drill consisted of? -Any advice or tips on the proper technique for...

    Chambered round multiple times?

    How many times can one chamber the same round before it starts to become a potential issue with forcing the bullet into the case and causing possible pressure issues when fired. I am referring specifically to my carry ammo, as it generally stays in the gun and unfired. I occasionally unload it...

    Add one more to the fray...

    ME! One more person who has realized that the safety of my wife and myself is no one's responsiblity but my own. I just purchased my very first handgun this afternoon... a Kel-Tec PF-9! :D I have been saving the cash, and reading THR for a few months now in preparation for this glorious day...

    Kel-Tec PF9... anything similar?

    Is there anything out there similar to the PF9 in terms of size, weight, concealability (pocket-carriable especially), etc, specifically in 9mm? I'm obviously looking for CCW, and just want to make sure I have my bases covered in terms of what's available. FWIW I haven't made any decisions...

    One rifle for all occassions?

    I'm fairly new here, (and new to firearms in general), and I'm sure this has been done in the past. I searched and didn't really come up with anything (maybe I suck at searching :rolleyes:). Anyway, I like hypotheticals, so I thought I'd give one a shot. I've seen threads about what caliber for...

    Which brand?

    I'm in the market for a j-frame style revolver and am on a pretty tight budget. I have already ruled out the ruger sp-101 because I am going to pocket carry, and those things are just too darn big :mad:. Now I come to you fine folks of THR to advise me on which brand of snubby to pursue. My...
