My family is from Guam, but I was raised in the US and am very disconnected from the culture these days. While my Chamorro relatives seem like they would be pro-gun, I don't believe any of them own any, aside from the usual old shotgun or .22 you might find laying around. I visited only once...

Who knew assault rifles had the unique ability to shoot through doors!

Hey All, I grew up half-city, half-country in Maryland, and I now find myself in Eastern WA for school. Been here a few years but have yet to hunt. I wanted to take the Savage .17 out (assuming I can get it to eject casing reliably!) and kill some small game (preferably edible). I'd love...

I've got the predecessor to the Urika (a 390) in 20 gauge and I kick myself all the time for getting it as my first shotgun. Now I can't justify getting any others- the Beretta is better than all the other guns I try out. The 390 is a bit easier to take apart than the 391 from what I've been...

I am coming up to the point where I will be likely be getting enough cash to buy a rifle. I had my heart set on a PSL / Romak-3, but I am now torn between this and a nice, folding stock AK. I understand that they are different rifles in different calibers, and I plan on owning both as soon as...

I quote: "The lightweight aluminum fore-stock is anodized for all-weather use and features a highly tactile and sensuous shape that is pleasing to the hand and the eye." :uhoh: With language like that, maybe I should get something simpler and less "sensuous". Next we'll have Shiatsu...

From what I remember about Civil War history, the problem with the first rifled weapons was that they were the same diameter as the bullet, and thus, you had to force the bullet down the rifling which was a strenuous and time consuming task. Later rifled weapons had a bore which was slightly...

Since I bought it when I was 14, my Beretta A390 20 gauge semi-auto has served me very well, at around $390. I always keep an eye out for it on gun forums but it seems that the Beretta A390 (now the A391/Urika) recieves almost no mention. I understand that you cannot extend the magazine tube...

I own a Beretta A390 20ga. A few years ago I was given a 28" barrel as a gift, which is what I now always use (sporting clays, skeet, farm shooting). Now I have this 26" stock barrel lying around and I figured I might as well get the thing chopped (within legal limits). My question is: What...

I've talked to a few old experienced FBI agents who were in some real scuffles, and they all carry snubnose .357 magnums. I think it's the fact that most of the time you need to use it in self defense, a snub nose is able to easily cover that range, and it works even better in a fight or...

Being able to let off at least 10 deafening rounds, and when your done, the only noise heard is maniacal evil laughter on a grinning face. :evil: :D

I've basically concluded my first handgun purchase to either a SIG P226 or a P229. Most likley .357 SIG, if I can get a rail I most definetly will, same goes for Two-Tone. Input?

I agree with you man! When someone decides to kill themselves, thats sad. When someone decides to take everyone down with them, in this case, the anti gun-control movement, thats just inconsiderate.

I figure the best way to get your answer is ask someone or find out from someone who's been in a home invasion situation where they've fired a gun with/out ear protection. Can it really permenently damage your hearing at all? if not, I wouldn't even keep muffs nearby.

THUNDERCATS HOOOOOO! I like the snappy "Thunder Cat" emblem on the grips of the Beretta :) Actually it might look cool to paint a fine red inset on that cat emblem to make it look like a backwards Thunder Cat emblem, but it looks great anyway. Just a cool little suggestion... I doubt you...
