    Bought a Remington 870 Express and have some questions

    I believe the seller was mistaken, as shooting rifled slugs though a smoothbore shotgun is perfectly fine. I have that exact type of shotgun and have put a few rifled slugs through it to no ill effect. Just watch out for using slugs with a tight choke. Sabot slugs, on the other hand, are...

    Shot myself with a .45 caliber last night.

    I made an example of myself a while back by spinning a loaded cocked and locked 1911 around :eek:, and I definitely learned my lesson with that one (thanks in part to the kind words of our brutally honest forum members :neener:) I'm glad the gun didn't go off for me, and I'm glad your experience...

    What gun is this, and what would YOU use?

    I'd probably be carrying my AK with me (ultimate collapse of civilization weapon imho), but it doesn't look like the other survivors are armed very well...who knows. Either way, a revolver works fine if that's all you've got. I wouldn't care much what I had so long as I had something.

    Stolen items (three silencers)

    Bummer...so the tax stamps you had to pay for those silencers have gone to waste too eh?

    why "Horse Pistol" ?

    I always thought "horse pistol" was just somebody trying to say "hospital" :neener: Might be where you ended up if you got hit by one! Ok, sorry I don't have anything but that lame joke to contribute... :p

    Controversy in the Texas Senate with Student CHL

    man some people here are vicious! telling a guy his feelings don't matter! harsh! haha but really, as a student legally able to carry, i would prefer the ability to protect myself from active shooters. from the point of view of the teacher in a tough area, it might be a little disconcerting to...

    Favorite .45 ACP Self Defense Ammo?

    Hmm, favorite how? Without having ever shot anyone, and hopefully never doing so, all I can do is throw in my vote for Federal HSTs (having only read about them and owning a box of their +Ps), Winchester Ranger T's (same deal), and of course Speer Gold Dots. I'd trust the police to know what...

    davidson 1911 grips

    I have the Shredders, and I'm afraid to shoot my gun using them! Just holding the gun with them on hurts! In a good way of course, lol. Let's just say the Shredders are aptly named. If I could order another (and I could...) I would probably go with the Shredders again just because they look cool...

    Which 1911 to buy

    i haven't shot a sig, but i've heard negative things about them. i've heard negative things about kimber too, but the one i shot (a friend's) worked great (it was a warrior model). of kimbers, i've heard most bad things about their series II (has a schwartz safety i think?). the warrior is a...

    Anyone have a Crimson Trace Laser?

    i have the front-activated grips for my sw1911 (with an attractive black and white flame pattern), but i hardly ever shoot at night, and during the day, the beam is difficult to see. i've heard rumors about the future of green laser sights for crimson trace, but nothing concrete has ever been...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    hey thanks guys. i really appreciate the courtesy i've been shown here after trying to rectify my error. i also appreciate the monetary offer, but the simple knowledge i've gained from these members is more valuable than any of that. i hope i can help spread the word to those who, like i was...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    Well here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDuVM5uJWNo To those of you who are still upset, you have my sincerest apologies. We all do stupid things, and I'm just like anyone else. I face up to my mistakes, and I appreciate those of you who have helped me learn my lesson...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    haha, well SOME of y'all were attacking my personality (or simply my name :-P), but i do sincerely appreciate those who are looking out for me. it's good to be in wise and caring company. lol, i'm sorry but i've had a crush on the 1911 for a while now, and i'm still in the honeymoon phase with...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    i made them private so as to make them unavailable to the general public. i may remove them altogether and take these fellows up on their offer by making a new video about the 4 rules. being a dental student leaves me with sparse extra time, but it also leaves me with sparse extra money...and...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    haha...i dunno what to say. i was in dental school yesterday, so i wasn't really in the best of moods (haven't been lately, not enough sleep) so i got very defensive when i was "corrected" (insults thrown in for good measure, i'm sure). i mean, especially on a forum called "the high road" it's...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    probably should have specified that the stories should have "happy" outcomes like gigabuist's haha...as for me, there's this guy in my church who managed to shoot himself in both the arm and then the leg with a .22 while messing around with a gun in the presence of his friends. can't remember...

    did he just do what i think he did?

    don't worry, all you missed was a video of me acting like an ass. i was twirling my gun around cocked and locked, figuring this would be safe, but of course it isn't, and i have been thoroughly informed of this mistake. the videos are still up but set to private because my friends think they're...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    i'm a dental student and enjoy recreational shooting. i have a sw1911. excellent gun, but every now and again i encounter a FTF (stem-bind), and i'm not sure whether i need to continue firing the gun to break it in or simply firm up my grip on it. the jams have gotten less frequent with time...
