    Big name shooting schools -- worth it?

    Yes, they are worth it. However, you may have persons in your immediate area who have gone to several schools and may be teaching in your area or be willing to show you what they have gleaned.

    Has anyone here suffered a gunshot wound?

    In the hand. 9mm +P. Hurts. IMMEDIATELY. LOTS of adrenaline. You'll find out how much control you have over your body. Avoid it with all your heart and actions. Really screws your day - and many days to come with surgeries, therapy, etc. However, I say prepare for it. If it happens, God...

    AR Barrel : Nitride or Hard Chrome ?

    TiN, TiAlN, W DLC, etc are not "Nitriding". Nitrocarburization (salt bath or ferritic, fluidized bed, etc.) is something altogether different. It's not a plating but a surface conversion. Missed your reply, Z-Michigan. But there is a difference between Carbonitriding and...

    User Friendly Semi-Autos?

    1911s, Glocks, S&W M&Ps... they all work. If you wish you could go H&K and Sig Sauer. ALL of the pistols listed are durable and very reliable as well as "user friendly".

    If the SCAR is adopted by the US military for general issue...

    A larger caliber would be GREAT. EVERYONE knows this. A heavier projectile will deny cover better, CAN have better wound ballistics and CAN have better long range performance. It's also more forgiving for badly placed shots. However, the logistics of doing this is unmanageable. If I were...

    Which has more felt recoil .45 or .40 S&W?

    The IMPULSE of the two are distinctly different no matter what the detractors have to say. It's PHYSICS. An example: A sports car and a superbike are both capable of 180 mph. The CBR1000 will get there a helluva lot quicker than the Porsche 997. One does the 1/4 mile in 12.7 seconds at 110...

    Picking a place to live in the USA. A thought and question.

    One problem with the Desert Southwest is... it's desert. Or very dry without natural lakebeds. No thanks. :scrutiny: And the no small issue of an uncontrolled border has raised the risk of violent confrontation to at least as high as living near an innercity ghetto. :uhoh: I think...

    The Rise of Guns in China

    DataMonkey, they are pre-deployed troops. Do NOT assist them. Repeat. Do NOT assist them. (SILLY CAP NOW REMOVED). I do wonder sometime but we had similar results in Detroit Metro with all of the foreign engineers in & out of the place. They (foreigners, in general) that all of us were...

    Regarding Blacks, the NRA, and guns

    I'm Black and I'm very well aware of the history of gun control. Nothing new but it's very pleasing to see "mainstream America" realize some of the crap we've been through in this nation. Thanks for the find though. I'll e-mail it to several of my Black friends, associates and co-workers.
