So, I looked up this guy... Brad Thor is a novelist that writes thrillers. Ever read what Bruce Schneier (cryptographer and infosec guru) writes on his blog about homeland security? If you get a chance, look up what he has to say about "movie-plot threats" Michael

I'll fess up... first time on the range with the M39 Finn, many months after checking headspace... Work the bolt and chamber a round ... Line up the sights downrange... pull the trigger... <click> I forgot the mental note I made months prior to adjust the firing pin before shooting it... I...

Nice find! Have shot a blackhawk .44 mag and it was fun, but have a hard time controlling the gun with the cowboy grip vs. a Redhawk with the more standard grip. Hm. Anyway, enjoy!!

Would love to hear more about NRA marksmanship programs if that isn't hijacking :) In case you're not flooded with gun recommendations... I found that I shoot well with the CZ-75B (which is why I have one; they are well regarded but inexpensive), Glock (whatever is the full size FBI .40SW...

Welcome! I grew up around guns but didn't get my first until I was in my late 20's and had to learn a few extra safety rules. I can't speak to classes altho I would think you could ask at the gun range, local gun clubs (web search), maybe something NRA sponsored. I applaud you for thinking...

PS: The idea bout cards is a great one. I have printed bus cards for my jeep club thru this one place online... VistaPrint -- not affiliated other than as a prior customer. They usually run sales to where it is pretty cheap to get a few hundred done. If you want to print up your own, you can...

I think this is an opportunity not just to educate new gun owners to keep them and us safe, but also an opportunity to bring more people onto "our side" -- we're going to need all the help we can get. I have taken a few people to the range and have always politely and persistently reminded them...

"Aim in the general direction" is probably hyperbole. But... I think most folks are going to be more proficient at hitting what they're aiming for with a shotgun. With the pistol you have a very short sight radius and the weapon is only anchored by the hands/arms. Trigger control and...

I shot a friends Mak and was very impressed... much less recoil and so more controllable than my FEG PA63. (both 9x18) The post about DA trigger pull on the FEG -- yeah, not just long but really heavy. I'd never want to fire DA on that gun. I've heard nothing but great stuff about 'em. And...

I tote around a 300 win mag here in CO which is the gun my friend used for several years hunting elk here. That's all I know. Michael

Nice doe and good shootin. Congrats! That makes me consider taking my Finn out... Michael

I'm sure the horse is dead by now...right? ---Oh wait, I think it twitched! Three reasons 1. Firepower 2. Aural deterrent (sshhhk-shhk) 3. Easy to aim -- or more to the point, difficult to miss One of the responses caught my eye. - Can shoot it with one hand, leaving the other...

Love my CZ75B!

Wow, NICE!! I hope mine turns out as well. (Got it 10+ yrs ago, barrel already cut down, and bolt bent, mismatching everything). PS: Is that an aftermarket bolt shroud? If so, which?

If anything we oughta stock up on paper & stamps. Michael

This has been a fascinating thread! Thanks all of those that had good insights to share. I realize the thread was originally a post responding to the various arguments typically raised against OC. I think some of the discussion turned to OC vs CC for various situations (which is interesting...

Yeah, me too... that's a lot of pennies to save tho :) Me, I'd like to have a sidearm to take hunting in case I have to dispatch a deer or elk. Less than 44 mag isn't legal for hunting so... I'd rather have a Ruger (blackhawk, super redhawk, SRH, whatever) as they seem to be very very very...

Hell even my M39 Finnish was pretty inexpensive. I just couldn't pass it up. Can't wait to shoot it, finally, and see if it is as accurate as claimed. If I do scope it I'll probably do the S&K scout scope mount as I really hate to tap a Finn m-n for a scope (no qualms about a more common...

That's sort of like asking what is the best sword for personal defense. :D Michael

The stock made me think Mannlicher-Schönauer -- But I did a Google search on "manufactura" and came up with "manufactura loewe berlin" in reference to Spanish, Argentine and Chilean mausers... hmmm... I looked up saturn and star proof mark in Google and came up with a reference to Spanish M1893...
