  1. Some people always go with their emotional argument without thinking about something logically. There is no danger from those who spent their time and money going to a class, waited at the drivers licence center and spent more money to go through a background check, probably more thorough than the background check a Park Ranger goes through, and waited months to get their permit to carry legally. All the predictions of shootouts and roadrage incidents between permit holders never happened and frankly, it's offensive to law abiding permit holders to be stereotyped as dangerous irresponsible people when in fact, we are probably more responsible and in control of our emotions and actions than the average person.

    Now if I were a drug addicted thug, I wouldn't care at all that there was a law against carrying a handgun in a state park, I would rather have it that way because I know some family enjoying a weekend camp out in some isolated camping area would be easy victims to terrorize and mug with my illegal handgun. And I would know that there is very little chance of some Park Ranger leaving the Ranger station before they finish their coffee and donuts to show up and rescue them.

    OOPS, did I stereotype Park Rangers? Hope that wasn't offensive.

  2. I bought mine several years ago, it was a Polish made M-44, it had the smoothest metal I've seen in a Mosin. I refinished the stock and cleaned the metal and hit it with some cold bluing. I had sticky bolt syndrom but I read in another forum about scrubbing the cosmoline(spelling?) out of the chamber so I took a .45 brush and a drill, and some Hopps solvent and scrubbed the chamber, I haven't shot it since I did that. Hope it solves the problem. I made the sling from an old leather shoulder holster.

  3. I have a small break top revolver by Xythos of Austria. It shoots a 2MM blank pin fire

    round. It is about a inch long. You can buy a flare attachment. I purchased it in Germany about 25 years ago when I was stationed there. It is pretty loud

    Well according to Jonathan Spencer, consultant forensic scientist and firearms expert, that may be as dangerous as a machinegun.

  4. Thats the reason("I just want one") I bought the PS90 and the FiveSeven (cause I wanted one....ditto for most of my firearms). Also the reason I own a Supra and the same could be said for most of my customers lol.

    Well I have my novelty guns but didn't pay too much for them. Expensive is only a personal opinion directly related to the income of the person. I had a Raging Bull .454 Cassull once but I actually took it deer hunting a couple of times. Of course a bright stainless gun is like taking a mirror hunting with you. I finally traded it for my SP101, holster, and some various caliber ammo. I also have a .410 Snake Charmer, not much of a hunting shotgun, an H&R 10 guage with a 36" barrel that I don't like shooting much, it's okay from the hip, a couple of cheapo .22 pistols and so on.

    So, I wont insult anyone who wants this gun. I would say that this is a very practical gun to gun dealers if they are selling.

  5. Look at the bright side, they could not possible make you look worse! :D

    Sorry had to take a shot.

    I agree if anyone should do it it should be you.

    Make us proud.

    PS: if you do it try to find out when it will be televised and let us know.

    We could get it on you tube and make a sticky out of it.

    Well look at it this way, if Rabbi did it, it would be harder to make fun of him than if they went and found some big oaf to interview. At least Rabbi would present himself as intelligent.

  6. Well, now that the AK is replaced by the FN SLP... and my pocket pistol needs are met, the only other things I might possibly consider are:

    1. .357magnum revolver (thinking single action...)

    2. Basic 20ga SxS coach gun for my wife (she wants one...)

    3. Maybe, just maybe, replace the XD-357 Service with something else. (but I want to see how the repaired striker pin holds up)

    I saw a Stoeger Coach 20ga at The Sportsman Store in Dickson, I know it's far from Tullahoma but Stoegers are about the least expensive SxS's I've seen. I have a 12ga Uplander and haven't broke it yet.

  7. That IMHO is why people shoot themselves when cleaning Glocks. There was no mention made of dropping the magazine and checking that there is no cartridge in the chamber. Those are steps 1 and 3 in the takedown process.

    It's simply a habit of mine to always lock the slide back and visually inspect the chamber, ease the slide back and point it to the floor and pull the trigger before I take it down, of course with no magizine. Even if a round fell off the table and fell into the chamber without me seeing that, all that would happen is that I would make a hole in the floor and ruin a pair of Froot of the Looms.

    It's hard to imagine some one shooting themselves but I guess it happens.

  8. I reload for all my Glocks, and the non-fully supported chamber isn't an issue.

    I don't max my charges out, I load on the mild side, and use a Lee factory crimp die to take out the "bulge".

    If the chamber is a problem for some people, there are plenty of great barrel makers that make very accurate alternatives to factory barrels. Lone Wolf Dist, and KKM to name a couple. I've heard that the KKMs are a little more expensive than the Lone Wolf barrels ($200 vs. $100), but sometimes you get what you pay for.

    Lone Wolf Dist. carries all of these barrels, and alot more options for people that want to "customize". :)

    Well I've heard the pros and cons, there is some exposed casing under the rim at the feed ramp on my G21 barrel, and I have shot and keep it loaded with Horaday 230gr +P HPs. I don't recall any warnings about +Ps in the manual.

    I tried to take some photo's but my cheap digital camera doesn't take good close ups.

  9. I wonder if any looters were shot. If not I also wonder if the Gov has the authority to decide who gets prosecuted and who does not.

    He would have the power to pardon, but Barbour's attitude is radically different than liberal Nagins attitude, and Katrina proved it's location. Urban dwellers, especially in a liberal city are more tolerant to surrendering their guns. It's a discusting thought to rural conservatives.

    I wish the GOP Presidential nominee had Barbours attitude about gun rights.

  10. N.O. is an ultra-liberal welfare city, just look at the Mayor they elected and I'm sure the police chief was as ultra-liberal as Nagin so it was easy for them to give that order, just as it would be in San Francisco or Boston etc.

    There was a vast difference in Mississippi, read the speech Governor Haley Barbour gave.

    Remarks by Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS) at NRA's "Celebration of American Values" Conference in Washinton, DC -- 9/21/07

    http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/Speeches.aspx?ID=52

    From the speech:

    But during Katrina, which we didn't foresee, I also got exposure to what the other side thinks when Louisiana tried to confiscate the guns of innocent people. In Mississippi, I signed an emergency powers declaration that firearms may not be seized from law-abiding citizens during a time of emergency. <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    That emergency order is still in place and will remain in place as long as I am governor. And since I'm up for reelection the first Tuesday in November, I hope it'll be for least four more years. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    But, you know, at a time when you have been struck by the worst natural disaster in American history, I can't think of a worse idea than to disarm law-abiding citizens. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    Now, we didn't have the kind of things happen in Mississippi that happened in New Orleans, but we did have some looting. We didn't have a lot of looting, and I think maybe one of the reasons was that the night after the storm, I said on television that people who shoot looters in Mississippi won't be prosecuted. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    To me, looting is like grave robbing; I mean, it's abominable. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    We had many merchants and stores who, after the storm -- and particularly in the grocery business and people that had products that were going to deteriorate, they were giving food away. They were giving things away that were going to spoil. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    But for somebody to be going around stealing television sets and guns -- by the way, one of the most stolen items among the small amount of looting we had were guns -- people who lost very valuable gun collections. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    But I think we have to trust the people, trust law-abiding citizens. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    That's why, since I've been governor, Mississippi has passed what we call the castle doctrine, to allow law-abiding citizens to defend their homes, to defend their businesses against criminals. And, I'm glad to tell you, it not only passed, but it passed by a very large margin. In fairness, a lot of Democrats voted for it. It was not a partisan issue. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    In the same way that we make it legal for law-abiding citizens to use guns to protect themselves and their property, we're focused on taking guns away from criminals and for punishing criminals that use guns in crimes.

  11. I would like a good .308 semi-auto, either an M1A(socom) or one in an AR platform. Another 1911 and ammo, ammo, ammo.

    I had also thought about adding quite a few cheapo's, like I don't have enough already to my collection. Guns bought from private sale minus paperwork. SKS's, some bolt actions, cheap pumps or single shots, cheap second hand revolvers like Rossies and Taurus's of whatever caliber and plenty of ammo for each. Guns that will shoot.

    Reason being, if the economy tanked, you would have a valuble commidity. Maybe that niave liberal neighbor might realize he/she should have gotten a firearm while they could since crime would have doubled or tripled. You can really trade for some good stuff they have. And if your neighbor is a hot looking lady you might just want to help her out. :eek:

  12. so if we have a law now that specifically states guns cannot be rounded up in times of emergency how would Johnny Law get to do this? wouldn't any command to do that be in direct violation of the laws they are sworn to uphold?

    I wish we could give BPs(brownie points) on this forum because your post deserves them. The N.O. gun confiscation wasn't a federal or even a state order, but an order from the mayor and police chief. Had a state law been in effect they would have violated it even though they violated the constitution anyway.

  13. I second the ammo recommendations. Mine for some reason only shoots well with CCI minimags. Any other brand or type produces erratic groups, but the minimags shoot awesome. My Ruger 22 pistol is the same way except it likes Federal lead solids. 22's can be fickle when it comes to ammo. Good luck, you're going to love the 10/22!

    I'm going to pick up some different ammo this week and see how it does. Thanks for the recommendations.

  14. Well to be honest, I don't think I'm qualified yet to vote on that. I carry a G21SF and so far I really like it. I've only put a few hundred rounds through it, it's never malfunctioned and is decently accurate. Probably more accurate than I'm capable of shooting it but I'm seriously out of practice. I got it because I like .45ACP, it's reputation for reliability and toughness, and 13 round capacity.

    That being said I also sometimes carry my SP101 5 shot .357 when I dress light and still feel protected well enough.
