    My Scout Rifle Setup

    Man, I've been looking for a stainless .357 or .44 for ages now. Good for you for finding one! Looks great, and should shoot nice and soft. Lots of fun to be had with that set-up.

    Ellensburg WA THR members

    Transplanted to the west side I grew up in Eburg, but had to leave to get work. It's a fairly small school district, and the teachers do not leave, except feet first. Man it was a great place to be a kid. I saw some good shopts of a previous Manastash shoot, but couldn't tell exactly...

    Is there such a thing as too much rifle?

    Good grief, jbech, that would be one helck of a great shot. If my dad heard I'd taken a 450 yard shot with a 10 mph crosswind with any rifle, he'd drive three hours from Ellensburg to kick my butt, whether or not I got my buck. But then, he's seen me shoot....

    The F.B.I. just informed me that they can't read my fingerprints ....

    The fact that you're an attorney might actually be the problem. When my wife runs prints at her job (she works at a company that administers professional certification tests), she always has terrible trouble with people who handle paper all day. Believe it or not, the paper fibers are pretty...

    Cleaning supplies! Cheap, require no paperwork, make great stocking stuffers. Just make sure you find out what they use first.

    What are your local dealers saying about gun purchase trends?

    Interesting -- What I've heard from my local dealer is that lots of folks are bringing in used guns for sale. Not a lot of new stuff going out, lots of locker/safe clearing going on to pay the bills.

    Greatest Shot ever taken?

    On the contrary, starboard. The high school I teach at has a small (about 10-12 member) but dedicated rifle team. They shoot 50ft. indoor bullseye. Some have their own rifles, but if they don't the team provides a nice Anschutz. I wonder where they got the money for those -- musht have been...

    Dream revolver

    Frankly, I want Gary in Pennsylvania's newly customized sp-101! -- but with rosewood grips.

    Do you think having an "arsenal" could result in indefinite detainment?

    I agree that this is straying away from firearms into the political arena... BUT (and isn't there always a but) I think that as conscientious citizens we need to be vigilant to any violations of our 2nd AND 4th AND 5th AND 6th amendment rights, regardless of who is or might be in charge of...

    Arrests-Guns & Meth-Denver

    I wouldn't blame the hyperbole on Dems or law enforcement, or anti-gun activists in this case -- I'd blame it on news companies that have spent millions to staff their coverage of the convention this week. If it happened in Colorado, it's convention related, and everything is going to be either...

    Article on Beta Blockers in pistol competitions.

    Wouldn't be surprised -- Diazepam is the generic name for Valium. It's used as an anticonvulsant, to treat muscle spasms, and much more. It's been around for ages and the docs know exactly how it works. This other drug is probably bring used in olympic competition instead because of more...

    Primary home defense weapon (non CCW)

    A good first 1911 for the range?

    Thanks for the info -- very helpful. I was interested to see STI listed as a possiblity in the price range. I always though that they were much more expensive, so I never really looked into them. My local shops (Cabelas and Sportsman's Warehouse) seem to stock only Springfield, Colt, Taurus...

    1911 Sights

    So I've been buggin you folks for good advice on a 1911 -- and you delivered. I'm interested in getting some bright, easy sights for competition. I love the bright optic yellow/greenish night sight dots on the HKs I've seen, but i haven't seen anyone else with these sights. other than a...

    Selecting a first 1911...

    Great information from everyone -- thanks for the advice and keep it coming. You haven't checked Cabela's and/or and Sportsman' s Warehouse in Lacey ? I went to both -- sorry to say that they didn't see either the Colt XSE or the Springfield loaded. Lots of Kimbers, a couple more Colts...

    10mm as a SD gun

    10mm compact? Yikes. A plastic compact 10mm sounds uncomfortable to practice with.
