      Mossberg, Remington.....Nope, Savage

      So, since hanging around this place has definatley NOT been good for my wallet however, I do feel that I will now be protected from any wild/agressive/PMS'ing groundhogs or volatile squirrels in my yard. Decided that I wanted to add a .22 LR as my first non-handgun and after reading many...

      Is there a wait on long guns?

      I should know as I have been reading threads for 6 months now, but is there a 7 day wait on rifles like there is for hand guns? Or can you buy it like a box of cereal and actually walk out with it.

      UpLULA---speed mag loader

      Picked one of these universal pistol mag speed loaders up a few weeks back while at Dans. Finally got the chance to try it out today while at Continental today. Wow, that thing is cool! I used it to load my .40 mags and my .380 mags and it loaded flawlessly. Sure does save the thumb skin...

      Ammo Can Care

      Anything one can do to cut down on any rusting happening to ammo cans? Other than the obvious moisture control or course. How about painting.....anyone ever paint one?

      Trijicon sites.......cooooool!

      So, brought home my M&P .40 today after I had Dan at Gun Connection install green on green Trijicon sights. Very, very cool. I really had no idea just how visable there are.....took them into a closet as soon as I got home. WOW!! This was a good decision, me thinks.:) As usual, my...

      Game and rounds: Whats left over?

      The end of the world thread got me thinking as I don't hunt and am a vegetarian. I have no problem being a carnivore.......if I am hungry enough, I'll eat cock roaches so no problem there. But since I don't hunt I don't know what is used to kill animals. Worse case senario......I have a .40...

      Where are they made?

      So, where are all our favorite fire arms made?? The only one I know for sure is Bersa, from Argentina. What about some of the other makers......most importantly, who is Made In The USA?

      Does size matter? 3" or 4"

      Ya ya, calm it on down, gents. I mentioned in the Who's Bringing What thread, that I am aiming to buy my first revolver in the next few months. I am interested in the Ruger GP100 at the moment. Since this is the very beginning of my research I need to first find out how signifigant a inch...

      Florida CCW Check Cleared

      I see as of this morning my $117 check to Florida has cleared. I sent it about 12-13 day ago.....does this mean they are just now starting the process or that they are towards the end? Doesn't it usually take, something ridiculous like, 3 or 4 months to get? Just curious.:rolleyes:

      Carbines-My Next Ass Hat question

      What I think I know. Ok, so, a carbine is a short type of rifle. They often fire at a lower velocity but often the same ammo? Being shorted than a long rifle I can see the use in urban/close quarters confrontation. What are the other pros and cons of this style of firearm. I also see them...

      General Hollow Point Question

      Are all jacketed hollow points totally jacketed? Meaning, like the clean range rounds some ranges require, is the lead bullet fully covered?

      Explain the "revolver always goes bang" theory

      As you may remember, I have only been into handguns since January when I bought my M&P .40 for home defense. Always liked the look of semi auto's in the movies and in showcases. Revolvers are pretty, if you will, and always remind me of cowboys, Lenny Briscoes (Law & Order) snubby or Dirty...

      A little moisture trick that don't cost nuttin'

      I'm sure this is already known to most of you but this is a little trick I picked up from another forum, Women & Guns. (Yes, it's mostly girls, and yes, we can get nearly as crude as you fellers, ;) ) When you buy a new pair of shoes or lamp or just about anything else that is shipped in a...

      Are cheap factory TMJ rounds better than....

      .......the TMJ reloads I have to buy at my range in order to observe their lead rules? Meaning, am I better off bulk buying some low end factory loads to punch paper with? Because, aren't reloads even dirtier than factory rounds? My range requires Total Metal Jacket rounds because of...

      What can you tell me about dropping mags??

      So, I am up at the range today, after a 3 week hiatus, all ramped up to burn thru the birthday money my grandmother sent. I brought my M&P .40 and my little Bersa .380. I decided to start with the Smith and Wesson first. I load 5 rounds in the mag, slap it in, aim and fire. I fired 2 times...

      Breaking in of a handgun/mag question

      I only have two points referance for this thread so anything you want to add would be interesting to me. My M&P .40=flawless. Maybe 3000 rounds thru it so far. Not a single FTF. I have 5 mags and have rotated thru all of them with equally good results. The gun runs smooth. It's fist 50...

      Ankle hoster recommendations.

      Until that glorious day when MD lets us carry, I can only prepare for it or The End, which ever comes first. So, what are your ankle holster recommendations for a Bersa .380? If not for the actually holster but how about manufacturer quality.

      Mini or Uber sized cleaning kits.

      The prophecy is true: When I bought my first gun in January, I was wisely told that it would become a addiction. Firearms are like potato chips-you can't have just one. So now I find myself needing another cleaning kit as my first gun was a .40 and now I have a .380 (thanks, Dan). So...
