    Why aren't there more painted revolvers ... anyone have any painted revolver photos?

    How much corrosion protection do you really need? My stainless GP100 looks new after 23 years of life near the Gulf Coast (25 mi inland). I guess I wouldn't mind a flat black 4" GP100, like S&Ws Nightguard series.

    What is the quality of Charter and Taurus snubbies like?

    I have a Charter Arms .38 Off Duty that I got in trade for an old PA63 a year or so ago. That little Charter shoots exactly to point of aim at 15 yards. The only ammo it doesn't like is the cheap Monarch brand ammo from Academy- it won't fire the primers most of the time. I chalk that up to the...

    GOLDEN, Thank you for POINTING OUT the PAINFULLY OBVIOUS.

    It might just be that it's because revolvers have been around longer. Guns make her nervous, she doesn't like to shoot, but she also likes the feeling of security they provide. For years, we lived with one gun- a used 4" 686 we bought cheap in the early 90s when they were flooding the market...

    Stock trigger pull on a Glock is 5 lbs. Stock trigger pull on these Rugers is around 9-10 lbs. A small child would have a tough time pulling a 10 lb trigger, especially while holding a gun that weighs 35-48 ounces. And yes, I know Glock trigger springs can be changed. IIRC, the NYPD uses (or...

    I notice now most of us older guys (50+)

    Like I said, I kept my autos (when I owned them) chamber-clear because of a young one in the house. That said, I still have an inherent dislike of keeping autos around with a round chambered. I don't want to have to remember if I chambered a round or not, or have to clear it to find out. I...

    I notice now most of us older guys (50+)

    I gave up on autos after a couple of negligent/accidental discharges. With my Glock 10mm, I had been messing with trigger springs, and was taking them in and out, testing the feel. Must've stuck a loaded mag in instead of an empty, because I racked the slide, pulled the trigger to see how it...

    Winchester pdx dedicated Taurus Judge round

    I've read that the rifling tends to 'donut' the shot. Why not drill out the threads and make it a smoothbore revolver? Wouldn't that make it more effective with shotgun shells? And, I read that the long cylinder makes shooting the 45LC cartridges less than optimally as far as accuracy goes...

    Oh I agree, but Deanimator rides around with recording equipment hoping to catch one making a mistake. A wee bit extreme imho. :D

    You have numerous posts advocating the policy of "never talk to the police."

    me- "It's ___________." D- "Not really. It's _______ _________." Like when you said "No one should ever talk to police ever?"

    So let's be clear here, you ARE in favor of felons owning handguns? That's weak on crime. Liberal.

    Future exchanges with Deanimator: me- "It's nighttime." D- "Not everywhere. In some places it's broad daylight." me- *sigh* me- "It's so quiet today." D- "Not really. If you listen there's all sorts of noises." me- *sigh* me- "There's nothing to eat." D- "Yes there is. There's...

    Got pulled over; Officer took my sidearm.

    So I'm supposed to explain why the majority of parents do NOT want guns around schools? Why it was made law, the restriction and prohibitive distances?? Gee, maybe it's that parents feel their children are safer with no guns present in the school, or that the presence of guns is a greater...

    Why can't I bring my AK to the courtroom? Or into the White House?
