Right... I didn't mean to come across as judgmental or anything. But it should be the last resort, meaning certain death otherwise. A lot of the horror stories can be directly linked to people not following the rules. It's kind of a bad rap for bears as far as I'm concerned. Also, black bears...
1) Bells/noisemakers
2) follow every rule and precaution re: food storage, kitchen area, tents (nothing smelly in tent- no sunscreen, toothpaste, drinks, snacks... Just you and your bag/clothes.
3) use common sense
4) can of bear spray
that alone should guarantee that you won't have any...
I've had a few first handguns...
My true first was when I was about 14-15, a Christmas gift, it was a S&W 22S that went for around $220 or so.
When I was 18, I paid for my very own Ruger P89, $350-ish.
Over the years, I'd sold all my guns until a few years back when, to start my new...
Here's what I'm thinking of. Take a S&W 500 Magnum and change the barrel and cylinder to fire .223/5.56 out of it. The charge holes would be "chambered" to account for the bottleneck of the cartridges. There's a 0.01 inch difference in the cartridge OAL's, so it seems easy enough. The two...
Any reloaders out there noticed any increase in powder availability in central Indiana?
I haven't needed any for several months, and haven't really been paying attention or going into shops looking for it, so I'm just curious what the market is like these days. I mostly load 38s with Bullseye...
I don't have one pretty much just because I can't afford one at the moment. It has been creeping up my "to buy" list of late, but I'll hold out for a good one (or custom build) that gives me everything I want. I think my next three purchases will be a 1911, a j frame, and an AR, not necessarily...
Mine was tested in Sept. 2012, and the trigger is what should be expected for a carry/duty gun. Long travel, the grittiness from the striker block, and so on. The break on mine has always been nice though, a bit heavy, but again, that comes with the territory. When at the range, I've gotten...
Alright guys, after some issues with an anti-gun uncle, I've finally taken possession of a very dear family heirloom... It's definitely a First Model (1899-1901) because there's no ejector rod catch or lug under the barrel. The piece itself isn't much of a collector's item, the bluing is all but...
I don't think they're junk. Everything I've heard about RIA has been good. I don't own one though, but it's on my list of possibilities when my budget allows.
As for my personal opinion, I'd avoid the hi-cap (double stack mag) varieties simply because of the lack of parts interchangeability...
Hey Shooter... Am I just imagining it or did you announce that you guys were now carrying Frog Lube a while back?
If so, can you let me know what products are on hand and their prices? Thanks.
Funny, they called Lincoln a king/dictator/tyrant too. I'm willing to wager that if one did enough research, at least 20 presidents have been labelled as such, so Obama's far from the first.
