^ I understand. I really do, but the status quo isn't working either.

Phatty, It did take some courage to post this, and I have been pondering my own gun values since the Denver shooting. Look, I know the arguments against all of what I propose. I do NOT take this lightly. It goes against everything I have believed in for 40+ years. I'm an NRA member for...

^ I understand your statement and sentiment, and I can't disagree with you. Some things like liberty are worth dying for, BUT freedom has never been and can never be ABSOLUTE. As a civil society, we can never have the freedom to destroy others or future generations, if that means giving up some...

I'm a VERY conservative person (husband and father), owner of multiple guns, and a gun rights proponent BUT this tragedy is a game changer. We can't go on as business as usual. I support the following: 1. Armed plain clothes officer stationed in every school. If taxes need to be raised to...

I have a S&W 5906. Can I safely shoot +P or +P+ in a 5906?

I don't know what to do, I have 3 kids 7, 5, 1. I keep a loaded 9mm locked in a very heavy safe under my bed. Interior of safe is about the size of a shoebox. I keep the key to the safe well hiddened. There is NO WAY I could quickly access the gun. It is certainly much more important to...

Thanks!

The equation you are looking for is F=M*A, where f= force, M=Mass (of bullet in this case), A=acceleration (or deaceleration in the case of a bullet impacting an object)

Just curious...

Force=Mass*acceleration In this case deacceleration (as in a auto accident) is the amount of time it takes for the projectile (traveling at some velocity (fps, mph, etc) to come to a stop. Deacceleration can be a little difficult to compute without making some assumptions, if you assume the...

I appologize for posting this in the Auto forum...it's a better fit here. ...for my 3rd Generation 5906? It's in great shape, probably have shot no more than 200-250 rounds. What service(s) can they perform to make this a "better" or more accurate handgun? I don't mind spending a $150-$200 on...

^Thanks, I will inquire about a trigger job. Can you briefly explain what a "trigger job" entails?

for my 3rd Generation 5906? It's in great shape, probably have shot no more than 200-250 rounds. What service(s) can they perform to make this a "better" or more accurate handgun? I don't mind spending a $150-$200 on it if Performance Center can really do something positive to the gun. They...

^Thanks, I didn't know...

What does "High Power" mean exactly????????? The "power" comes from the bullet. A 9mm bullet is a 9mm bullet, yes???? No??? What does the gun have to do with it????
