Gun for wife I agree, get the gun she wants. AND start with a 9mm or 38 for recoil purposes. My wife thought she wanted a semiautomatic( I bought her a .32 PPK clone) and then decided it was too complicated and now wants a revolver. The first gun I gave her was a Charter Arms .22 mag and...

I have a CZ82 that I really like but it is too heavy to carry, as I do, in my pocket. There are many light weight small 9MMs that you can carry in your pocket. They do not print, they supply sufficient power and they are comfortable. I also occasionaly carry my small 9MM in a small belt pouch...

My carry gun here in Florida has to be a small semiauto 9MM for many reasons i have mentioned incessantly.

Penetration throught the walls of structures Ha anybody done an actual practical test pertinent to this issue? Should be pretty simple if one has enough money to build two three walls, spaced at least 9 feet apart and build of various typical materials. Use typical HD shells and cartridges...

Beware of the man who has only one gun. He might be proficient with it.

I have not read all of the responses but I reiterate: Live in south Florida where it is hot and clothing is kept to a minimum; many of the residents are from notheastern cities and scared to death of guns. If you are in contact with the general public go out and try to do business with you...

SKS Mags I read a lot before I bought my Russian SKS. Everything I read said do not mess with the gun if you want it yo reliably function. I did not try to modify it to accept detachable magazines but instead bought a bunch of stripper clips. I can carry many more rounds in stripper clips...

ball vs hp If you are concerned about penetration you MUST have a 7.62x25

seems you are getting many answers that want you to diversify your gun collection. The 243 is much more versatile that the 44 pistol cartridge and I reckon much more accurate. Put that Mohawk away and you will get a pretty penny for it in the future.

lever actions and arthritis Over the past two years I have experienced a quickening of the effects of arthritis in all of my joints. I think it is time for you to sell the levers and get a semiauto or a bolt. It is my experience that the arthritis will continue to advance; and, although you...

Marlin vs 94 I agree with if you want a scoped rifle you have to get the marlin. If you can hunt with the iron sights the 94 is just much handier. I think the 3030 is the better choice and the deer, black bear or boar will not notice the difference between it and a .35. I usually check...

Is Markham the one off the palmetto? Has anyone been to JRs over toward Okeechobee

I got mine about 30 months ago and the cycle took about six weeks

Keep the gun you most NEED. In my world a self defense gun is what I most need.

Libya and Machine guns I thought this type of discussion was not permitted! Form your opinions on intelligent thought about what you observe. Read as many sources as possible to get as many viewpoints as possible. Next, how can anyone compare Libya to the U.S. I am not as smart as some and I...
