http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040903/NEWS/409030350/1033/NEWS01 Its started, a murder in the county and now the officials are asking some citizens to voluntarily give up their firearms for testing. How much do you bet these folks never get their guns back even if...

There are lots of great revolver picture threads, but not as many semi-auto ones in the searches. I think I'll start up a semi-auto picture thread....I'd like to see many of the great guns some of you have. As soon as I get a digital camera, I'll post pictures myself.

http://www.gunblast.com/Glock37.htm Personally, I wouldn't really be interested in this new cartridge (.45 Glock). However, I realize change can be good so I'll at least perhaps try one (one of these days). The actual pistol is tested in the article above.

Just seen it for the first time last night (Directors Cut version on DVD). Is this movie somewhat historically accurate, or is it mostly hogwash? I don't know, which is why I'm asking. The acting was pretty good, I was impressed by the actor that played Virgil Earp, and also by the actor...

I ordered my first .30-30 rifle, a Marlin 336. The recoil butt plate is hard rubber. Will this be a problem when it recoils? Should I try to find a soft rubber recoil padd for the Marlin 336? Overall, about how much recoil should I expect from this rifle, about half of a skeet load 12...

I recently ordered a Ruger GP 100, model KGP 160 (SS short shroud 6" barrel). I already have the same model, but I wanted a second since Ruger discontinued it and its my favorite revolver. Anyone else buy duplicates of a gun, i.e. same model, finish, and barrel length?

I ordered the Super Redhawk Pachmyre (sp?) Decelerator grip, since the GP 100s have the same kind of grip setup. I can't find any Decelerator grip that says specifically its made for the GP 100. I am looking at the Decelerator I just got in the mail today, and it looks too big for the GP...

How did Hickok draw his pistols with the butts facing in the opposite direction (when compared to how most people carry revolvers). I've always been curious why he carried his revolvers backwards, and how exactly he drew them (was there an advantage to his technique in those days)...

Be patient, this DOES have a little to do with revolvers. I won't mention names of the salesman or the store, but here is what happened. I saw my cousin last weekend, and in the conversation she mentioned that she bought her first handgun. She bought it back in March. She's 31 and has...

Anyone out there prefer the Ruger Bisley style grip over the standard Vaquero style grip? I do. I don't know WHY, but the Bisley grip has a better feel, even though my hands are relatively small.

I tried out a S&W 617 .22 LR, 10 shot revolver today. It had about a 4" barrel. The accuracy and single action trigger were very good, but the DA trigger was heavy and NOT smooth. Overall, I liked it, but I think the price is kind of steep given its a .22 revolver. I'm still...

The Press Democrat newspaper reported that the Senate passed a tax on internet sales. The Govenor has NOT signed it yet. Davis vetoed a similar internet sales tax three years ago, but is expected to sign it this time since the state is in such a deficit, thanks in part to Davis. This means...

Why don't more makers offer a semi-auto with an open top slide design like the majority of Berettas and some Tauruses? These are the advantages IMO of the open top design: Greater ejection reliability Easier to clear a jam (don't have to stick your fingers INSIDE the slide to reach the...

Which companies make the best electronic hearing protection? Is their any good values out there that are reasonably priced (say in the $150 range) and yet do a good job and are well made?

The 5 cent per bullet tax didn't go through last year. But, now apparently they are going to try a new bill that taxes 10 cents per bullet in California. This is according to a gun store owner that I trust (he's always been honest to me). CAn anyone confirm this and/or provide links to the...

I'm sort of interested in the tip-up barrel design. It looks handy, especially since one can load and unload the pistol often without damaging the bullets (i.e. repeated chambering of the same cartridge with semi-autos sometimes can set the bullet back as the slide slams the bullet in the...

Just 5 miles or so from where I live, there was an apparent home invasion robbery in which the homeowner was killed on Sunday. :( This gets me thinking that if several people were to break in at once, I might be better off with the 12 gauge as the primary (it holds 4 shots), and one of my...

I'm seeing some sites refer to the Taylor Knockout Index: (bullet weight * Caliber * velocity) / 7000 What do you think of this statistic, does it give any useful info or is it just useless.

What features would you build into it. Here is what I would like: Ruger push button cylinder release. Ruger GP 100 style easy take-down subassemblies, and GP 100-like non-finger grooved rubber grips. Ruger crane style lockup. No stupid warning phrase on the barrel (I hate that feature...

......Cor Bon Pow-R-Ball ammo? My understanding is that it has the feeding profile of ball ammo (improved reliability), yet expands like a hollowpoint even through heavy clothing? Anyone buy this ammo and try it out (in gelatin) yet? What are your impressions? Good or overrated ammo?
