Someone will say it, so I might as well do it... That's a Glock for you. If it had been a weapon with an external safety like a 1911 or a long DA first pull like a sig, he would still be alive and his kids would still have a daddy. When will people learn, Glocks can't be trust for concealed carry.

I hava never seen any of the movies mentioned in this thread, but based on the youtube links, I have added a few to my "must see" list. I am not sure that it truely classifies as a shoot out, and it probably is not the best. However, I enjoyed it, and I think it is at least good enough for a mention. The mountain sniper scene in Shooter. I could not find a good link. This is the TV edited version. Snow scene in "Shooter". - YouTube

I am envious. You just gave me something else to go on the bucket list.

Yeah, someone tried to get me to try some that was warm. I never muched cared for it to start with, but then it becomes a thick, warm, creamy liquid. Too much for me

They are both nauseating to me. I am really not a picky eater, but it is something about the texture that gets to me. Is one or the other served warm at times?

I read some where that the front site should be removed by tapping on the left side and put back in by tapping on the right. I don't know if there is any validity in that, and to be honest, I kind of doubt it. Either way, that is what I did while changing them on my 10/22, and it went smoothly. This is what I put on mine, and I have been very happy with them. I did have a scope on it, but because of where I was shooting and what I was using it for, I got bored with that and wanted to go back to irons.

I've shot probably 200-300 rds through mine with no failure at all. I am not real picky about cleaning either, so to be honest with you, I am not sure I have cleaned it since the first cleaning after I bought it. The only con that I see with it is that it sucks buying .380 ammo. My wife has basically claimed mine, so I may be in the market for another one eventually. For the money, they are hard to beat in my opinion.

When you do detail strip it, just remain calm, and if need be, just put it down and come back to it later. I am not scared to work on my guns, but the first time I tried to put mine back together, I did have to set it down for a little bit. Just take a good look at it and maybe take some of your own pics of it before taking it apart. They will be good to have as reference when you can't remember exactly how the sear spring goes back in it. Once you detail strip a time or two, maybe you will be more willing to do some mods on it. The parts are pretty much just drop-in. If you are machanically minded at all, you can unserstand how it works and how the mods should work. You should at least give it the old college try.

This was my thought. Seems anything in a heavier caliber would have to be just as heavy if not heavier for him to be able to handle the recoil for more than a couple rounds at a time. If my memory serves, Taurus makes a UL revolver in a .22. If not, I think I would hold out for a while.

I absolutely love mine. I put a hogue grip on it, and it just feels like it molds into my hand when I shoot it. They are great guns.

Just buy a bore snake for all of them and be done with patches and rods and all that crap. They will all be fine. If pitting and rusting occured within a few days, most of my guns would be nothing more than little piles of rust scattered around.

Clean up the bait, set up a trail camera, go act like you are hunting (maybe with an unloaded gun or something), repeat that afternoon, have GW called, check trail cam, show GW, then have ******* do some explaining.

It is my understanding that this is why Rugers are the weapons of choice for hot rounds. A friend of mine with a couple of Linebaugh's was saying that the Ruger cylinders and frames that are not the "new" models (i.e. "new vaquero") would handle higher pressures than the other production guns of comparable caliber. Obviously the cylinders get replaced in the ones that change caliber, but the frame remains the same.

I find this thread humorous. The idea that you are hunitng and on your phone made me chuckle. One of my favorite things about hunting was that I had no phone service where I hunt. Then they put up a new tower and ruined that, so now I just have to ignore calls and use the same old excuse.

Never killed anything with buckshot, but a deer at 40 yrds will drop like a rock with a slug. I am not a physicist, but it makes sense to me that the buck shot will transfer more energy per round into the target than a slug will. I have never tested this, but I believe a slug would also exit a body. Anytime a round exits the target, energy is lost. If there are multiple projectiles with the same conglomerate mass, it will be easier to stop each projectile individually than it would be to stop one single projectile of the same mass. Therefore, if a given round has the same grains of projectile be it single or multiple projectiles, the slug and the buckshot will have the same energy, but the buckshot will transfer more of that energy to the target as each individual pellet is less likely to exit. This is my untested theory, but it seems reasonable in my simple mind.

My NAA is in my pocket right now. I really like being able to load rat shot in it for the first round or two to keep with me around the farm or on the river in the summer time. This allows for snake prevention as well as a few more rounds for two leg deterrent during the summer.

Either round would work just fine. I think it depends more on your hunting situation. I don't really know anyone around here that walks that much while hunting deer, so a heavy rifle would not be that concerning to me. As far as choice of caliber, many people go way way over board while deer hunting, so I would think the Ruger would be plenty powerful to whatever distance you would be comfortable with an accurate shot. I will never understand people using a 300 mag on a 200 yrd shot for a 150 lb animal. I would want to use them both. I have this urge to kill a deer with every gun I have that meets the legal requirements. You may not share this desire, but either way, I think both would be appropriate.

It depends on your gun, ballistics of the round, and shooting situations. The longest I have sighted in at the moment is my ar at 200yds. I would be comfortable stretching that out past that, but as long as you know how much bullet drop you will have, you'll be good to go. For example, the last deer I shot was at about 225yds. My rifle was sighted in at 100yds, so I just had to hold it above the right amount. There is nothing magic about it, just understand what to expect out of whatever you are shooting.

Guess not.

Has the management or roomies approached you about this anymore after the initial discussion? If not, you should just shut-up and let it pass. The more you keep digging and talking to different people about whatever and whatever, you are just spreading your business to people who don't need to know. You started this thread for advice so here it is... 1) You have already figured out that this is a civil matter. You are not going to be criminally charged with anything if you keep your gun there. Therefore, keep your gun hidden at all times. If it is not on your hip concealed, lock it up in your secret safe place. 2) Minimize contact and verbal exchanges with your roomies. They are obviously douche bags and not your friends. Tell them to go kick rocks. 3) Finally quit talking about it, to everyone. Nobody needs to know any of this stuff other than you. The more people you talk to, the more people you are admitting to that you are knowingly and willingly violating your lease. It never bodes well to admit guilt and then try articulate how you are somehow not at fault. You will fail.

Either way, if you plan to shoot a bunch, I would get a 9mm; cheaper at the range. I am a Ruger fan, so I would lean toward the Ruger. I think you would be well served by either, but a nine in either platform would be cheaper to shoot.

You're kinda of stuck with your apt, but I certainly would not go asking the campus police if you will get in trouble for having a barrel in your vehicle. This will be drawing attention to yourself that is not needed in your situation. A barrel is not a gun by law; otherwise, it would have a serial number the same as the frame. Just put it in your glove box or something and never say a word about it. IANAL but my opinion is to just keep quiet about it all and let it slide on by. Find new roommates as soon as possible and a new apt when the chance arises. Like I was telling someone the other day, when you awaken the dragon, it's best to keep quiet and let him go back to sleep, then you can just pass him by.

I used to be a cleaning Nazi, but then I reallized it was a waste of time for the guns I own. I have a couple guns that I don't shoot that much, and they will get cleaned and oiled well before being put up. The guns that basically stay out get cleaned about every 6 months or so regardless of rounds. If I am worried about keeping a rifle accurate, I will clean it more, but they still don't get cleaned everytime I shoot. A deer rifle for instance will be stighted-in, and the bore will not be cleaned until after the season. My .22's, on the other hand, are just plinkers; therefore, they may not get cleaned until they start hanging up or they get rained on or something. My belief is that most people clean more than is really needed, but if it makes them happy, then rock on.

Alamo is good. I also like the Copper Cellar restaurant family. There are some in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Unless something has changed since I have been there, they are not posted. Copper Cellar

I started working when I was eight. We lived in a small town, my father lost his job, we scraped by, and I felt like I should contribute to the family. I rode my bike around mowing yards and raking leaves. I continued doing this type of labor and started working in a cabinet shop when I was in high school. I went to state college and worked all the way through. I graduated magna cum laude, had a minimum wage job for a while, and now for the first time since I was eight, I have no job. I do not pay taxes as of now, so I guess I am not in the 53% at the moment. However, I am a student in the medical field, so when I graduate, I will again be part of the 53%.
