:usa:Welcome to TGO. I have heard of the Brown Water navy in Viet Nam. I used to work with a man in Nashville who was on a navy patrol boat in the Makong Delta area of operations. You guys will always be my heroes.

You're whole concept of dealing with stress is messed up. Combat, be nature, is in itself stressful. It's like the German relaxation therapy. "Und now you vill RELAX!"

If you like the Colt, why are you leaning towards the...........never mind. I am certainly not an authority on 1911s. I have shot Kimbers, Springfields and Smith 1911s. They all went bang, if you blindfolded me, I could tell you what was what. I just like Colt because they were the first. I have the Government stainless with a Crimson Trace laser grip. Never jams and I get a free laser light show whenever I drink too much coffee and try to shoot.

friendly knowledgable staff and good deals on guns.

Samuel Colt makes a 1911 with a horsey on it. I like mine. Accurate, Dependable, Durable and hard hitting. It's a hobbie all it's own. Which ever one you choose, welcome to the club!

That is one of THE best rifles ever made. Cool camo. Righteous dude!

There a millions of people in America who want our right to defend ourselves revoked. Now that I have read their website I'm starting to agree with them. I'm going to destroy all of my rifles, shotguns and pistols so I will be safer and we will have a safe society. READ this stuff below! It came off a WEBSITE and it has NUMBERS! It must be true! More than 44 million Americans own firearms. Of the 192 million firearms owned in the United States, 65 million are handguns. Research shows guns in homes are a serious risk to families. A gun kept in the home is 43 times more likely to kill someone known to the family than to kill someone in self-defense. A gun kept in the home triples the risk of homicide. The risk of suicide is 5 times more likely if a gun is kept in the home. Advice to parents The best way to keep your children safe from injury or death from guns is to NEVER have a gun in the home. Do not purchase a gun, especially a handgun. Remove all guns present in the home. Talk to your children about the dangers of guns, and tell them to stay away from guns. Find out if there are guns in the homes where your children play. If so, talk to the adults in the house about the dangers of guns to their families. For those who know of the dangers of guns but still keep a gun in the home. Always keep the gun unloaded and locked up. Lock and store the bullets in a separate place. Make sure to hide the keys to the locked boxes. " This is the rhetoric of the enemies of freedom. Know your enemy.

"You can't be too fast to loose a gun fight". People who have won pistol fights have stated that they lined up the front sights on the target before squeezing the trigger. People who have lost gun fights state that they just pointed and shot. According to Massad Ayoob. My little Smith revolver is still my fastest. It's after the draw that concerns me with a 5 shot 38.

Kimber Carrier, You make a strong point. I will take your advice and start drawing more. Thanks, you may have saved a life.

Would that be vinegar based barbacue, Tomato based of Mustard based. I know it will be pork. I personally think that the Dove World Outreach Center should be ashamed of themselves. They should change their name to the Hate Outreach Center. I agree with Moped. This could put American's abroad in danger. I don't care if you believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Budha or the Tooth Fairey. That's not my business and it is a free country. Just don't go stirring the and preaching hate.

When asked in "Magnum Force" what type of load he uses in his .44 magnum. Harry replies: "It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters."

Cocked and Locked. But I don't carry my 1911 all the time, not yet. I'm new to pistol shootin' and new to conceal carry. The 1911 conceals amazingly well for a full size pistol. Once I get a good CC holster I think I'll start carrying it often.

GP-100 .357 magnum, SS 4" with Black Hills 125gr. Semi-Jacketed Hollow Points.

What is carrying Mexican? I need to know this.

Smith and Wesson model 36 Chiefs Special nickle plated three inch barrel: What I think it says: Here is a man who has so much confidence in is skill with pistol that he only needs 5 shoots. What it really says: If I ever get attacked I'll crap my pants and won't even remember I have a pistol.

I don't carry one in bed or the shower. I will carry some of my larger guns around the house.

Oh I know what you guys are saying but I just ain't the trusting sort. My family are mountain folk and warey of strangers. I guess I take after them in more ways than I realize. Once they get to know someone and like'em, they are like family.

You don't know if this guy is an idiot or not. You don't know if he knows anything about gun safety, whether he is on medication or stoned. But becuase he has a gun on his hip he's OK. He's your buddy. A brother in arms! Dude, you are nieve. How do you know he is a Law Abiding citizen? I have known too many idiots, dope heads and nut cases who call themselves plumbers. I am a firm believer in the US constitution and it's ammendments. I think we all have the right to keep and bare arms. Just not in my castle. I will not tolerate a stranger in my home armed. Don't I have that right?

The XDM is a 4.5" barrel. Vol you're correct and you're not being nit picky. I am not a good shoot with a pistol. My vision has gotten bad, up close, as I have aged. If I wear my reading glasses I can see the sights but I can't see the target. Without my reading glasses I see the target 20/20 but the sights are blurry. I've only been shooting pistols for a couple of years and even though I enjoy it, I don't think I'll ever be a great shot. So you must take my review with a grain of salt. I really want a Sig. It's on my list. Maybe I'll trade the Glock 36 and get a Sig or an H&K. The best pistol I own is a Colt 1911 but I left it at home today. Smith, You are right about the bore axis on Springfield's X pistols. What do you shoot?

Colt Government 1911. Remington Model 700 in 30.06 Remington Model 870 in 16ga. Smith and Wesson Model 29 44 mag. Bushmaster Ar15.

Look at ME. I'm a LIBERAL! I get offended went people don't pay attention to ME and what I want. People who don't agree with ME are bad people. The world revolves around ME!

I took my two Glocks (G19 & G36) and two Springfields (XD-45 & XDm-40) to the range today to see which pistol was more accurate. Here is what I found. 1) Glock 36 45acp with crimson trace laser guard: I'm beginning to dislike this pistol. The laser makes it very accurate and the 45acp makes it a man stopper but it started failing to eject. It would fail to throw out the spent shell casing (4 times). I also have a blood blister on my pinky because the original magazine is a pinky pincher. Very annoying. The CT laser guard will fit on my G19 so this Glock 36 will be the next pistol I sell. 2) Glock 19 9mm 4 gen: This gun shot well, not failures and good accuracy. I like it. It's small enough to conceal carry and has 15 round magazines. It's nothing fancy but it's a Glock. 3) Springfield XD-45 45acp: My favorite pistol. It has never failed. It's very accurate. It has 13 round magazines with a hard hitting 45acp cartridge. The recoil is tame enough that it's my daughter's favorite range gun. The trigger action is far superior to either of my Glocks. 4) Springfield XDM-40 .40 S&W: We have a winner! I may have shot the tightest group at 10 yards that I have ever shot. The trigger action is better than the Glocks, but not as good as the XD-45. The recoil is tame and it shoots 16 rounds of the awesome .40 S&W cartridge. This pistol does everything well. It may be a little large for concealed carry but could be carried in cooler weather. I plan on carrying it as soon as it cools off. I like the G19, with the CT laser guard I can shoot in the dark. It will be my bedside gun The Springfield XDm 40, should help me beat that cocky x-air force MP dork. who thinks he so good The G36 will get one more chance to be my CC pistol. The XD-45 will remain a woods gun for when I hike in bear country or gator country

Fallguy, I didn't mean to sound like such an ass last night, it ain't the first time..... Whether I would draw down on a plumber who was carrying depends on the circumstances. If you are going to carry concealed in someones home, it better stay concealed. There are two laws that would apply. 1) Brandishing a weapon. 2) Going in terror of the public. If a home owner sees your weapon and calls the cops, you would have to answer these charges. On the other hand if I, as a homeowner, pulled a gun on a plumber in my house. I could potentially be charged too. So I promise not to shoot the plumber if you promise to keep your handgun well concealed. With any luck niether of us will get in trouble with the law.

Fall guy, I am an American and a Southerner (by the grace of God), I don't have to hang a sign on my house or ask if anyone is armed when they enter my house. I cannot understand why you think it is OK to allow an armed stanger into your house. You tell me and TGO why you think it is OK for an armed stranger to enter your house. I just can not believe anyone would say " Hey there mr. repair man that I don't know! Come on in and bring your fire arm. Heck you may be a crack head but that's OK, just come on in. You may be a suicidal maniac but bring your pistol in with you." WTF? Do you see that I'm trying to help you? I would never bring a firearm into your house. There ain't no need.

Easy guys! So it would be OK is someone came in to your house to fix a sink and they were packin heat? Some perfect stranger you have never seen before comes in to your house armed, and you think it's OK? Are you guys NUTS? Have you lost your minds? If you want to enter my house armed you must be 1) a friend. 2) Family I trust. 3) an LEO with a search warrent. Other than that you need to leave your piece in the truck. Now if you have a piece concealed where I can't see it, then I won't get upset.....don't get me upset! I will defend my home from any threat.
