      Best bear defense gun

      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...

      Best bear defense gun

      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...

      How much was your first handgun?

      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...

      Am I crazy, or would a .223 revolver be awesome???

      I didn't give extraction any thought. That might be the fatal flaw.

      Am I crazy, or would a .223 revolver be awesome???

      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...

      Powder Availablility?

      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...

      Who here doesn't own an AR and why?

      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...

      S&W 1899 First Model M&P .38 Special

      Thanks for that link, I've browsed that forum, but never bothered to register. I guess I've got a reason to now.

      M&P Newbie

      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...

      S&W 1899 First Model M&P .38 Special

      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...

      RIA 1911 High Cap 9mm

      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...

      Frog Lube?

      Thanks for that. I'm not sure if I want to make the switch quite yet. Bradis is just up the road from me, so I figured I'd check there first.

      Frog Lube?

      That must be what I was thinking of. Thanks anyway.

      Frog Lube?

      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.

      Obama said my premiums would go down...BS!

      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.

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      It's not that it's an extreme position, it's just more extreme than where the line is drawn now. I simply think that if they supported your view, at this point in time, it would be counterproductive, and in all likelihood a bridge too far for all of those who want to see our guns being smelted...

      So... what's the *MARKET* for hand loaded ammo?

      I bought a box of 100 357s and a box of 100 38s from that table a few years ago to go along with a new Marlin 1894c purchase. Every round fired with no issues to speak of, and, at the time, the price was right. (I think the 357s were around $40 and the 38s were around $30, I just remember...

      This is just wrong!

      I read somewhere else that he was arrested on charges of criminal confinement or some such. It wasn't a gun charge per se, it was because he held the trespasser captive until authorities arrived, which, for some reason is not allowed in that jurisdiction.

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      I really appreciate your thoughtful and reasoned response. You make a lot of good points, but I'm afraid that you fundamentally misunderstood something too. The entire point of the thing would be 1) Do good things and 2) GET PUBLICITY FOR IT. I'm talking about newspaper articles, giant cardboard...

      The comparison to motorcycle charity events is spot on. Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed the similarity.
