    Show off your M1's

    I don't think I am confused. M1's (to me and most to folks I talk to about them) umbrellas Garands and M14s. My father and I have different names and different features. However, when we stand next to each other it is clear that one bore the other. I would say that it is the same for Garands and...

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    I bet if you asked any of them they would say "WHAT?"

    Show off your M1's

    I recently picked up an SAI M1a Loaded after years of drooling. I have always loved Garands and M14s and I finally laid down the cash to get one. I've only had the chance to put a few rounds through it due to my club having the long range closed all winter(fingers crossed it's opening up soon)...

    Double-action .44 Mag. Recommendation?

    Base model 629. Doesn't need to be fancy. I own one with an 8 3/8 barrel. The extra barrel does a lot to tame the recoil. It is not unpleasant to shoot at all, even one handed. One of my favorite guns to shoot, and the one most of friends are jealous of. I also own a 4" 29(blued version). I'm...

    One gun you regret selling and...

    Another I let go(that I did research) was a Beretta Mini Cougar(sounds like a middle aged Italian female dwarf). I read an article in Guns and Ammo about how Stoeger, I believe it was Stoeger, bought the machinery from Beretta and moved it to Brazil(I think). The article was about a great little...

    One gun you regret selling and...

    I don't like to sell my guns. I do a lot of research before I buy. However, I did end up with a PTR-91 made by JLD(JDL, i forget) Enterprises that I just hated. They got good reviews and it sure was pretty and fun slap that MP5 style charging handle. The rolling bolt system, and accuracy is what...

    Snub Nose - DAO or DA/SA

    . Well, if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know. Despite the volumes of knowledge I've accrued over the years. I think I can still claim to be a wise man... Life is full of disappointments. Take your pleasures where can get them, whether they be plastic or steel...

    Revolverpalooza day!

    I've loved my revolvers since the days when my back didn't hurt and my eyes didn't need any extra help. However, I also find that the older I get the more I appreciate them. They are elegant machines from a bygone era, when form and function were synonymous, and no one was pretending to be part...

    Snub Nose - DAO or DA/SA

    That's pretty cool. I was unaware that you could do that. I will say that of the 4 S&Ws I own the triggers are very smooth across the board. I do practice staging, but to me this means pulling the trigger back far enough to rotate the next round into battery without dropping the hammer. I...

    Snub Nose - DAO or DA/SA

    I have friend with an older (70's or 80's i think) M60 that he was gifted by his father(when am I gonna get a gift gun?). It sure is pretty without that key lock. But mine shoots .357 magnums where his can't even handle +p's. Good trick I'll have to try that out. Sounds scary. Has the hammer...
