    Safety Violation Say Something Or MYOB

    Up until about 10 years ago I probably would have said something. Old age has changed me. Now days, I wouldn't bother unless he was putting me in danger.

    It's going to be a fun week

    Things are going great here. I passed along C5's message and they all enjoyed hearing that their work is appreciated. I got a good look at the SR-762 today. I might have to try one out.

    It's going to be a fun week

    Thanks, Red Wing, but I should have made it clear I here for this week only. As a contractor. Still, I could see myself staying. I like it here and made sure they know I'm a fan of their products.

    What was the first revolver you ever shot, and what was the first one you purchased?

    It was a Smith & Wesson 14-3 purchased at Montgomery Ward in 1975. I still have it, and it's a real cream puff with a 6" barrel.

    Derringers

    I have one of those NAA revolvers in 22 short. I didn't buy it with self defense in mind, or really any practical purpose. I just liked it. It's fun to take to the range and try to hit paper plates with at 10 yards. If I put a group of 4 plates on the stand, sometimes I can even hit the...

    It's going to be a fun week

    I have just arrived in New Hampshire to work at Ruger this week. I got a nice tour of the place and saw some interesting things today. Manufacturing processes are interesting to me, and when it's firearms, doubly so. I get the next 3 days with them, then it's on to somewhere else. No...

    new to gun club

    Well, it sure sounds like you got off to a rocky start, but if it were me, I'd try to join anyhow, and try to fit in. With the passing of time, things will improve. What you describe is not uncommon, and sometimes quite a bit worse. Just try to keep the end goal in mind and don't put too much...

    Your best customer service experiences?

    My best customer service experience was with Crimson Trace. I put a bit too much oil thr slide of a Beretta 96FS, and then firing fouled the laser with oil. I messed things up pretty bad trying to clean it. Bottom line is I ruined it. A call to Crimson Trace and their only question was "Is...

    Bass Pro Price Matching on Guns

    I agree. But I also think they shouldn't make something up if they don't know. They should find someone who does know. "The problem is not what people don't know, it's what they know but is wrong". (or something like that)

    The tide has turned

    That's what my mother used to say. She quit saying it when I stated my opinion that if you pay 1 cent in taxes to the govt of the US, you have a right to complain. And voluntarily giving up your rights? Don't make me laugh.

    NC ccw class and range info

    Greetings, and welcome to The High Road. And to Wake County. I'm a CHP instructor in Wake County. I limit my classes to no more than 5 students. PM me if I can help. He sounds like a great guy. Good news: There are no mandated videos. I didn't know there ever was. I know a lot of...

    NAA Mini .22LR, will it save my life?

    That's some mighty fine shootin' with that thing. I have the 22short and don't think I could do a 12" group at 3 yards. I'd love to chronograph it, but am afraid I'd shoot my chrono. Concerning self defense with it, be aware that follow up shots would be very difficult. These things are...

    Are two locked cases required when flying with guns for Delta?

    Yes. Two in the same locked case is ok. It's how I normally go on Delta and others.

    Striker Fired versus S/A Accuracy

    Indeed. Are you sure it's the mechanism and not the difference in polymer frame vs. steel frame?

    Latest trip to the range.

    Nice job. I really like the P226 as well. Have had a 226 Elite in 40S&W for a while, and when I got the plane jane in 9mm, I too thought the reset was a little long. I got the SRT part from Sig and now the reset is the same as the Elite. It is a good upgrade. Took about 5 mins to install...

    Shops in Baltimore

    I have a brother that lives near Baltimore and is a shooter. I think he's an inactive member here. I'll see if he will reply.

    What is your most fun gun?

    Oddly enough, it's the browning 1911-22. Just fun to shoot. Not very loud or expensive to shoot, and the recoil is barely more than reassuring. It shoots small groups and has never caused any trouble. It's just good for decompressing after "one of those days".

    Lasers on handguns?

    Rondog makes an important point, and brings up a question. He anyone tried aiming the laser parralel with the barrel? Such that it is low and right by the same amount regardless of distance? Then only bullet drop needs to be taken into account.
