      Beginner O/U

      One option that I haven't seen mentioned yet is if he can find a used/closeout O/U by SKB. They are made in Japan, same as the Brownings have been for a while, and are very sturdy and reliable. Since the name is not as recognized over here, the price tends to be lower than Browning, Beretta...

      Rose-Hulman Recoil Experiment

      I wonder where around the Haute they were testing that. Doesn't look like the conservation club out by the airport. Made my day to see Rose mentioned on the Firearm Blog.

      Best Home Defense Shotgun??

      A used marine magnum 870 can go for a pretty good price and is less likely to start rusting if you live where it's humid. Think Mossberg makes something similar, but don't recall the nomenclature.

      Young drivers... Can you fix your broken down car?

      early 30s, learned stuff with my dad, and if I can figure out how to get the busted part out, I can generally get a new one back in, but most things that require getting the car off the ground mean taking it in to the shop; have no jack stands or a decent jack and nowhere to put any of that...

      NRA Life Member Mailing

      Actually, the Second Amendment Foundation is the group that put up money and lawyers for Heller and McDonald while the NRA was still trying to torpedo the cases. They are a tax-deductible non-profit, plus they are demonstrably doing real good for all of us with the money they get. I think they...

      Worst kind of Sig P238 dilemma...

      We have an Equinox, and until my wife gets her LTCH, it's mine, all mine! Yeah, I'd rather she just do the paperwork, but she's come pretty far just to say she is thinking about it. Anyway, I'm glad I did my research on .380s and waited for them to get the kinks ironed out. Couldn't ask...

      School me on: sporting shotguns

      SKB also makes a good o/u, and they can be had used for a pretty good price if you look. They also use the standard WIN chokes.

      1911 magazines what are good and what a good price

      McCormick shooting stars work very well for me. Bought a bunch of them a couple years back and still waiting for one to fail.

      Any Juicers out there?

      Give Breville juicers a look. We've had one for a couple years and it's still going.

      Wanting a durable, reliable all steel 9mm

      Count another vote for the Browning Hi-Power. How can you not like a gun that got the benefit of everything John Browning learned?

      Looking for a transfer reasonably close to Terre Haute

      If you're still in the Haute, have you tried Patriot Sporting Arms and/or Favre's Guns? They usually did my transfers. Around Indy, I have been using Plainfield Shooting Sports most of the time. They aren't the cheapest transfer, but they run a good shop and deserve the support. Check the...

      Foreigner with work visa - home protection

      If your friend can get through -- or already has gone through -- the green card process (not quick, easy, or cheap, but worth it), he will have the same arms rights as a US citizen while in Indiana. This is not true for all states. Washington state, for example, does not recognize a permanent...

      Didn't know whether to laugh or cry

      That the following is true and enforced is a crap situation, but you might want to know: Actually, if you are in Massachusetts, and are in possession (they have a very loose interpretation of this, too) of a gun (loaded or not), ammo, or even an ammo component like a single piece of empty .22...

      So what did you buy this time? June 2011 Indy 1500

      Found what I was looking for, sold what I didn't want anymore, got some .30-06 and an INGO patch, and I think the wife has figured out what she wants to carry once she has a license. All in all, a good time, and no gunshots on Saturday.

      1500 wish list?

      A decently-priced Hi-Power and to trade off a gun or two that after much consideration, I'm just not that fond of, and some Hornady Dies.
