    First handgun?

    When just starting I bought a lot of guns trying to find just the one best gun for me and found....there isn't just one perfect gun but: Like many said, I'd try to find a range that will rent a few different types of guns and try them all before buying anything - then get the one that 'feels'...

    Fantastic Answer: Glenn to Metzenbaum

    Below was sent to me by Blackwater Tactical and I just had to pass it on in case anyone missed it - thought it was worth repeating - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Some people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living...

    Reload newbie needs advice on .40S&W

    Thanks Jeeper - your post was very helpful to me - I think I'll skip the Lee stuff for right now and concentrate on what I already bought - The straight Dillon dies - and see how it goes, then I have something to compare. I'll try the Montana Gold/N320. Another stupid question...

    What would you like your gun to smell like?

    "I love the smell of napalm in the morning....." Oh, I digress......... Lead, steel, Hoppes 9, grease, oil, ....If they make Lady Smith's smell like roses - the BG's would just run from the scent of the gun.

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt

    Ditto Navy Joe - maybe volunteer at Safety Courses until it's drilled in that Safety comes first. I know at my club it is stressed ad nauseum but I'm glad of it. I know I don't like to shoot around anyone that has a few 'mishaps' since I could be their next one. There should be no little...

    How important is your knowledge of the piece's mechanics.?

    Well, - you know 'Zen and the Art of Firearm Maintenance' and all - the first thing I did when I got my first 1911 was to buy the best Gunsmithing manual I could (and the DVD) and started to tear it apart. I don't ever expect to actually do any difficult work on my gun ........I leave that to...

    Reload newbie needs advice on .40S&W

    Hope this isn't a 'stupid question' but: Is a Lee Factor Crimp Die and a Lee U Die the same thing? Do they fit a Dillon 550B? Also: Any opinions on which is better and why - Universal or Blue Dot? I will try both but....would like some opinions - I hear good things on both. I did get...

    Have you taken a non-shooter out shooting?

    Yes - if taking someone that used to plink with a BB as a kid and wanted to learn a little about USPSA counts. Now they're shopping for their first auto :)

    How To Be Taken Seriously At Gun Shop

    I agree with iamkris to a point. I think the gunshops - if they want to stay in business for the long term - should have a policy of education for the customer. Everyone that walks into the gunshops doesn't have a base of knowledge (yeah THR :)) and you never know when someone who is...

    recap = why do you carry a gun? please remind me

    Because when the Second Ammendment gives me that right I like to make use of it so I don't lose it someday - because I live in the US (not CA) and can - and because it's the sensible thing to do.
