I think the percentage in use issue falls by the timeline. It depended when the poll was taken. For both law enforcement and military use the timeline may have went something like: 1911 BHP CZ75 Glock 17

I had an old "flat top" and it was a great gun. I put a lot of rounds through it and it was a tack driver. I'd not worry about the mag cylinder. If you have some time and are in a relaxed setting with friends, these are great as you can shoot for a long time really inexpensively. It takes a...

I agree. We do have some real quick thinking to do if we are going to help maintain the environment that we pollute and over utilize. I have to admit that I love salmon! It's probably my favorite meat and perhaps food. I don't live anywhere near their native range so it can be said that if it...

As much as it would bite to be mauled by a bear, it is regretful that the population has grown so and covered the once wild areas, cutting off animals from food and water sources once part of their range, with roads and other development. We enter their domain. It is the same here in the US in...

What if the zombies come sooner rather than later? What if they get to your shed first?! :eek: Seriously, I have had some ammo go bad, or so I think it did. It was 9mm Czech or Russian looking stuff with red primer sealer. It may have been stored for 10 or even 20 years. probably just...

Afghanistan?! Those guys tote! :what: Seriously, I believe that Virginia meets those requirements. I am not sure how long "Shall issue" has been on the books as it's never been a concern of mine, but it's on the books now as it seems folks are talking about it. Lots of hunters and Republicans...

That's amazing. How do you know they were at the range? Who else knew? It would seem much more probable that they were lost, ie left at home... -Bill

It's not possible. A larger number of people could be more easily and stealthfully killed with a poison. That is in fact, the latest and greatest danger to the public since the declaration of war by religious zealots. Gun control, and by that I mean complete, search and destroy all guns...

They made my list. If you don't want it, I'll trade you for my AWA... ;) -Bill

I don't load but 5 into my "spur hammer" revolver as that hammer mounted firing pin is pretty menacing. If I fire a gun with a transfer bar, then OK. Even with great care, you have to lower that hammer directly on top of that last rounds primer if you have a traditional six gun. That's not worth...

.32 is the absolute smallest, but since you can get .380 in the same size gun, I'd stick with .380. It should have been a poll... -Bill

I agree with TAB, it's just CYA on the part of mgt. No one is gonna search the frikin car. Personally, I'd not have a gun in the car anyway. What's gonna happen on the way home that would require "Dirty Harry" to jump into action? I mean, are the streets really that tough which you have to drive...

Seriously, it's gotta be bow and arrow, and then spear. But then you aren't seriously going to use those things for SD; maybe in Somalia, but not in this land of law. -Bill

mdao, If that's not a FIREarm, then I've never seen one... :what: -Bill

Oh, I just put a set of ivory grips on my Peacekeeper today: I bought them from a nice lady at Buffalo Brothers Cowboy Store. I think they look pretty sharp, breaking up the monochrome black grip/frame that it had stock. -Bill

I'd swear that you labeled that target backwards. I mean, you did shoot 6 rounds through the Ruger DA and 5 rounds through the 1873 SA... right? That's good shooting either way. When you asked about if I meant "cowboy loads" or standard .45LC or 44-40 loads, I meant standard for the era of...

Hi Old Fuff, I agree that there are a few politicians who want to do anything they can to start a gun ban, even if it is in baby steps. My comment was just about the gun show idea as it is even implemented already by itself in some areas as I have evidenced. In any case, as others have...

This is good advice and what I was going to suggest myself. That'll give her time to grab a phone and dial 911 or run or both. In fact, it'd be my preference as well. I'd not fancy shooting anyone unless I felt that it was truely the last resort. Holding an empty gun for a small woman would...

The guns shows are pretty pathetic nowadays. We have two companies who put on shows locally here. One generally uses one local civic center and the other, the other local civic center for their space. The smaller space actually has the best show and you can buy and sell outside of the doors. The...

I can't imagine an officer shooting someone unless they felt it was necessary, I mean nothing can be gained by doing that. It could have been an accident of some proportion too but he must have felt a need to draw his weapon. It isn't appropriate to assume in any case. People do some strange...
