    Huge Mistake that (luckily) didn't cost me my life

    peering in windows Several years ago, we had a new gasman who thought it was cool to peer in people's windows while he was waiting for the tanks to fill. He looked in my daughter's window which was partially open. My shepherd-lab mix went through the screen at him and got him in the face. He...

    Beretta 92 Compact

    I saw a Beretta 92 Compact at my local shop the other day. The trigger is smoother than anything I have ever felt. Finish is about 95%. They want $350.00 for it with only 1 magazine. What are the opinions out there on this? I like it but am concerned about the availability of magazines etc.
