    Mikhail Kalashnikov turns 90 today

    My thought is that if he didn't, someone else would have. Checkered history and all, there's nothing else like it, and nothing more effective at its intended purpose. If TEOTWAWKI happens, you know what I'll have with me. Happy Birthday, Mr. Kalashnikov.

    Gun show in Columbus, GA, 20-21 Mar

    I've been attending the Columbus shows for the last year, and they have been steadily shrinking in terms of vendors and product. The one this coming Saturday may reverse the trend, however. I doubt I will be after any new hardware this time. I need ammo, lotsa ammo, and a laser for my xD.

    Concealed Carry

    I have a friend who carries an xD-40SC and likes it. He has an IWB for it. xDs are too bulky for pocket carry, IMO.

    What calibers would you carry FMJ? if any?

    Agreed with ArmedBear. If you only have FMJ, get the biggest round you can get. That being said, 7.62x39 FMJs are pretty freekin' effective! :)

    Taking high quality pics of your guns..

    I love all these ideas for pictures. I'm about to eBay a whole buncha stuff and now I have some new ways to show off the wares. One thing, though. Y'all might want to consider airbrushing the serial #s in the pix so that they aren't readable. Why give away part of your privacy?

    .22wmr?

    I just picked up a 6½" stainless Single 6, and they are about the nicest 22 revolver there is (even though I still covet an S&W 617). The interchangeable cylinders are their strong suit (that and the fast that they are pretty much indestructable). Use the 22 LR for targets and plinking. The...

    what kind of shot gun should i get for my first shotgun?

    Not necessarily. An 870 Express is not expensive and will let you fire 3" shells along with the 2 3/4s. Whatever you buy, the shells it can chamber will be imprinted on the barrel.

    Help me pick my new gun

    Best general advice is pick a gun that has a good reputation (read lotsa articles that both praise and pan, then it should be apparent if it's any good). Pick one that you are comfortable shooting and carrying (if you are going to carry one). Lastly, pick the most powerful caliber that you...

    Defensive Rifle

    My preferences would be a short barreled 12-gauge first, because a regular shell of 00 buck contains 9 .33 cal projectiles! Even an M16 cannot throw that much resistance as a bad guy. An AR or AK would be 2nd. My trusty xD would be 3rd. However, due to kids in the house, this is what I am...
