      Favorite gun movie lines

      OT, but I just wanted to point out that I am related to Gen. George Pickett (I am pretty sure I am a direct descendant).

      Midget kick-boxing

      Considering that Muay Thai in Thailand is like the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, Nascar, and Indycar all wrapped up in one here, I don't see anything wrong with people born with a certain physical condition trying to participate in their national sport as long as they try to keep it somewhat professional...

      Yup, it's an en bloc clip. Clip (ammunition) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Notice that the clip still goes into a magazine. ;) BTW the term magazine comes from naval ships. The magazine is the room (or rooms) that held the ammo for the ship's weapons. Again, it encompasses the ammo...

      That is kind of a confusing example as the mag is supposed to be a fixed mag, yet you can remove it. I have seen way too many people think that pulling the fixed mag was the way you were supposed to reload an SKS. I'm thinking of a lot of Savage rifles, the ones that don't even have a drop...

      Got my property tax bill!!!!!

      I just want to use this to point out that even renters pay property taxes. You pay through your rent. When the property owner gets hit with a property tax hike, they just raise rent to cover it. Renters are not immune. As with all things renting, you just get one big bill instead of dozens...

      New member...getting first handgun + LTCH

      Not exactly correct. An M1 Garand uses a clip and feeds from it while firing. Simply put a clip does not encompass the rounds, it just clips them together (like a paper clip but for ammo), a magazine encompasses the ammo, thus not clipping them together, but holding them internally. Just to...

      H-S Precision meets Ruby Ridge

      Don't forget the son of sam and his Charter Bulldog .44spl. I don't see Charter falling over themselves to advertise that fact.

      Coffee Press Pot

      Hmmm. Never put the green bottle connection together. I like Heineken ONLY when it is ice cold. When it warms up, for some reason it tastes like ham (I said ham, not bacon ;) ). I have had more than one bar tender agree with me on that.

      I have rarely seen a new shooter do very well starting with a .40. Don't listen to the stories, it isn't some monster round that will vaporize any enemy. It is just a neutered 10mm and just adds a bit more punch than a 9mm at the expense of capacity and, for many shooters, controllability...

      Knife Sharpening

      Thus my "not as handy" comment. ;) I love how the Spyderco one all fits into the base. Makes it nice and easy to take with you.

      Coffee Press Pot

      I brushed my teeth and am drinking a glass of milk. Not quite the same I'm guessing. :D

      Coffee Press Pot

      The macro brews do what they do best. Churn out a crap load of generic "beer". For those who like real beer, the US micro brew market has plenty of stuff that can compete with the Euros IMO (I am going to go ahead and plug Bell's beer right now ;) ). Personally, there are a lot of very...

      What's on your knife wish list?

      I'm not sure, it's just cheap injected molded plastic though (think Fobus holsters).

      .357 Magnum Owners

      If you have to fire even one, you are already in deep doo doo. That being said, carry what you are comfortable with. Also speed strips are small and easy to carry for a reload for a revolver no matter how much the cylinder holds.

      Maybe they need to find out what the actual word for coffee is. ;)

      Coffee Press Pot

      Young's Double Chocolate Stout is not American my friend. ;) The Euros do add stuff to their beers as well. It's all in the name of trying to make something different.

      2mm pinfire revolver

      2mm = 0.078 caliber so a bit less than half of the size of a .177 pellet in diameter. Were closing in on literal needle sizes which the body does a good job of closing up on its own. So I would say, no, it would be easier to treat. Considering when my brother was younger he was shot with a...

      Coffee Press Pot

      That is espresso, not regular coffee. That isn't a fair comparison. That is like comparing beer to spirits. People were drinking coffee LONG before the invention of the espresso machine using methods much like the cowboy method. But, yes, in general, your average American has a pretty bad...

      .357 Magnum Owners

      Also slightly more powerful. But yes, carry guns are always a trade off. A 2" j frame in the pocket beats a hand cannon left at home.

      Knife Sharpening

      That looks like a not as handy version of the Spyderco sharpener.
