    Finally decided to join the IFA

    I agree State specific is the first step. NGO has been doing the most work on the national level, they would be the next best step.

    What happens when the perp is a child?

    Something that I worry about is having a kid threaten me with a gun like one of these. I've heard of several cops in the past few years stopping a perceived threat that seemed life threatening. When ammo went scarce a few years ago, I made good investments in a Glock trademark in 177cal...

    What happens when the perp is a child?

    That sounds like a Frankenstein story. That monster is going to kill again when it gets a recharge. I wonder how many more it's creator made.

    Bud’s gun shop

    Bud's always seemed to take forever to get my stuff to me, I'm always anxious when I wait on a prized purchase. They also have a sister store in Sevierville, TN in the Smokeys, beside the gun and knife store.

    banned in some states..???

    I understand that the crazy murderer that got the Bump-stops in the spotlight would had made much more casualties if he'd used a bolt action with a scope. Popping caps doesn't stop the threat, putting a good bullet on target is what it takes.

    Discussion: Two Biggest First-Time Gun Buyer Mistakes

    The biggest 1st time buyer mistake that I made was Not trying a good 1911. If I had started with a 1911, I probably wouldn't have several substitutes in my gun safe.

    Shooting Insurance

    Well, I changed companies and upgraded my policy. My 'peace of mind' now costs me about the price of a 45cal round daily, but it's worth it, not to be burdened with a load of fear.

    Shooting Insurance

    I agree all insurance is based on fear. I carried for years before I realized it'd probably bankrupt me if I ever needed to use lethal force. I pay about the cost of a single 9mm round every day for that peace of mind.

    Little Walter?

    I believe that's the same gun and caliber that the original James Bond carried.

    I Live In Another America, and it's Good.

    I lived in a big-truck for 10 years. I also saw a different world outside of the Bible belt. I'm grateful to be in the north Alabama area.

    Anyone gone back to steel?

    If I'm not carrying a 1911, it's only a substitute. Some plastic guns would make a good backup for the 1911.

    Discussion: Why I Want My Gun to Fail

    The only good thing I can say about RIA, is they made me proficient in clearing malfunctions in a 1911.

    Can you make the shot?

    I try to stay proficient and use small targets at a good distance. BUT... Remember the objective is to "Stop the Threat", not to kill anyone. If I were to make a head shot, unless it was unavoidable, I hope I'd be able to convince the DA that my target was lower. I recently renewed a...

    For you 1911 guys how many mags do you carry?

    Those plastic 9mm's are made for popping caps. The 1911 was made to put a bullet on target. One extra mag should be plenty. When the threat is elevated, i do like to have another 2 mags handy.

    Discussion: First Look: Polished Blued SA-35 9mm

    I was glad when I found a sa-35. I hope it's later than the ejecter problem. I refinished mine, it wasn't meant for a holster. The better finish is a needed upgrade.

    John Moses Browning born in Ogden, Utah on January 23, 1855

    I love JMB. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably be carrying plastic. (I hope to catch him on the other side of eternity.)

    Happy 10/22 day!

    The 10-22 was the first rifle that I bought. It has always been my favorite. And after many thousands of rounds and 40 years later, it's still a target gun.

    Walther ppks

    I've got the Bersa clone and I'm comfortable to carry it, but I doubt it was made to last like the PPK.

    Two of Remington's biggest failures...

    I've got a couple of R1 1911s, from NY and Huntsville. They needed minor tweeking on the break-in, but they are a primary carry now.
