    Las Vegas Gun Shops

    I haven't lived there in a number of years, but you might want to check out The Gun Store on East Tropicana Avenue. It's doesn't have that much floor space -- at least not when I was last there -- but they've got enough to keep you interested, I'm sure.

    Any Las Vegas Shooters Out There?

    Is that the area out East Lake Mead Blvd. behind Sunrise Mountain? There used to be a gypsum plant out there years ago -- on the way to the lake. There was a dirt road turnoff to the left about halfway to the lake that would take you through a series of rolling hills. Perfect shooting area...

    2008 Pres candidates?

    Totally screwed would be McCain vs. Hillary. If that happens it would be time to turn out the lights, because the party would definitely be over.

    THE Unofficial Countdown to AWB II Thread...

    Except the Republicans have been abandoning their base consistently for the last six years. Why would they stop now? It cost them the Congress Tuesday, and they still don't care. Bush continues sound and act like a liberal. He's got liberals in both houses of Congress who will send him liberal...

    .45ACP FMJ for defense?

    Sunray quote: I'm curious. Did the WWII Soldiers and Marines carry JHP in their .45s or FMJ ball ammo? I don't recall any reports of major failures as fight stoppers back then.

    Glock in-car durability.

    I carry in the car in California. And while the climate is rarely humid, it does border on desert heat conditions in the summer and on into the fall. I've been carrying my G30 in the car for over six years now -- with frequent summer trips to Las Vegas -- and have observed no ill effects to...

    What Handgun Do You Keep Coming Back To?

    GunNut quote: You know, you can love both at the same time. I've managed to master that highwire act. It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. ;)

    What Handgun Do You Keep Coming Back To?

    Glock 30. For all my 1911s -- with which I would never part, no matter how much money was on the table -- and all the other Glocks I own, the G30 is fast becoming my absolute favorite. For me, it's a perfect concealed carry weapon. And I'm finding it's my preferred weapon of choice for...

    The best Home Defense Shotgun/Ammo setup?

    I went with a Mossberg 590 pump. I used it in the Army, and since this particular purchase was for a purely defensive shotgun, I decided to go with something I already knew how to use. I use Federal 9-pellet 00 buckshot in 2 3/4" loads with a six-round side-saddle loaded with addition 00...

    Hold On Tight, 'Cause Here We Go!

    If that's what they think of you, then I'm right there with you.

    THE Unofficial Countdown to AWB II Thread...

    RealGun quote: Why would any Republican care? They can continue acting like liberals all the while assuring their base that Hillary would be worse. And you can see how well that strategy worked out last week.

    UT Austin gun club footage on Fox News for female shooters class!

    It just goes to show. . . Conservative babes with guns are so hot. :D

    2008 Pres candidates?

    Probably not. He's too threatening to the globalist agenda of both parties, and he's too much his own man to play ball with the multi-national corporations who write the checks and call the shots. Still, he got my vote in 2004 and will get it in '08 if the new electronic ballots in California...

    Celebratory Gun?

    You don't know what you're missing. ;) Try a Mossberg 590. Relatively inexpensive, totally effective, and well. . . er. . . . potent.

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

    Not exactly a new member, but. . . I have rediscovered THR after registering a couple of years ago and never doing much on with it. I'm a semi-retired, 50-something, living in the most confiscatory gun-hostile state in the union -- California. I have no particular preference when it comes to...

    Did the election results cause a run on ammo?

    Don't be too sure. Everyone is counting on the Bush SCOTUS justices to act like strict constitutional judges. For all we know they're a bunch of one-world, open border globalists just like him. So far, they haven't had a test case, on anything. One thing is certain: The internationalization...

    '2-Terminator' Arnold to run for Senate?

    Well, so far, so good. He's vetoed most, if not all, of the bills the gun control whack jobs have sent him in recent years. And I take that as a consistently good sign. Point well taken. Now is the time to keep the heat on, so to speak.

    THE Unofficial Countdown to AWB II Thread...

    Shweboner quote: There wasn't any. Bush had an (R) after his name, and that was good enough for most of us. The rest were cutting him some slack and justifying his political expedient conduct while waiting patiently for him to start acting like a conservative. Still waiting. . .

    XD .45 acp...... COMPACT

    I agree with you about the 5" barrel, especially in the 1911 pistols. But I haven't experienced any energy bleed-off with my Colt Commander or my Glock 30 vs. the full-size version of those pistols. At least not in terms of felt recoil. Never read any ballistic reports qualified by barrel length...

    Glock Compacts

    You stole my thunder a little bit. I'm a confirmed .45 caliber shooter. It's the first handgun caliber I cut my teeth on, and I've been shooting it ever since. My first Glock was the G21, and that gun was a perfect fit for my big hands. It came to be one of my absolute favorite guns of all time...
