    Caliber war!

    .45 ACP. Chuck Norris can THINK about a .45 ACP round while farting, and it will blow your arms, legs and head clean off... :scrutiny:

    A Heinlein quote

    "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" or "Starship Troopers" would both be outstanding novels to introduce yourself to Heinlein. "The Past Through Tomorrow" is a collection of works that I also recommend, but I think it's out of print at the moment. "Glory Road" is also a fine read. "Sixth Column,"...

    Which movies made you want to get a gun?

    My first gun purchase was a Beretta 9000s after seeing it in "Minority Report."

    Short Story(s) testing.

    This is good stuff. Definitely a novel or six in there, I believe.

    642 Club Part Deux

    Yes, it does look like it's non-+P. If you have a way to blow up the enlarged view photo (IE can do this, as much as I dislike it overall) it has +P on the side of the barrel. I looked closer a while ago when they first caught my eye. :o Edited to add: You can clearly see +P on the barrel...

    642 shooting trouble

    When I got mine, I sat in front of the TV with my 642 loaded with (optional) snap-caps, and dry-fired it a couple of thousand times while aiming at the talking heads. This not only allowed me to get used to the trigger and sight picture, it also smoothed the trigger. I still spend a bit of...

    642 Club Part Deux

    Well, I got a chance to go to the range again today. I took the 642 along without planning to shoot it, but couldn't resist firing 25 rounds. That makes ~200 rounds total through the revolver since I bought it. I was a bit amazed when my last 5, aimed slow-fire at 7 yards, were all within the...

    Something to think about~~~~~

    I agree. There is much more to value than blue book. When I was a mere lad I found a .22LR cartidge lying around my Grandfather's farm. I took that cartridge to Grandpa shouting "SHOOT SOMETHING, Grandpa, SHOOT something!" He went into the house and brought out a little bolt-action .22...

    Too Close To Home (Philly)

    I pass through there every DAY, and the Wanamaker Building where I work is accessible from that area. There is an office for transit police (K9) just outside the eastbound concourse at that location. City Hall is a walk up the stairs and across the street, and can be reached from that area...

    Ruger LCP NIB or used Seacamp .32?

    I would choose the Seecamp over the Ruger, but the Ruger doesn't look like a bad little pistol. Border, the Aker Express is the back-pocket holster currently sold through Seecamp, and they're great little holsters. I have the sharkskin version and use it every day. buddah, the ammo...

    The THR Official Civil Disobedience Thread

    What are the marks of a sick culture? It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population. A very bad sign...

    The THR Official Civil Disobedience Thread

    I'm not ready to become obedient! Don't ask me why it was top secret, or even restricted; our government has gotten the habit of classifying anything as secret which the all-wise statesmen and bureaucrats decide we are not big enough girls and boys to know, a Mother-Knows-Best-Dear policy. I've...
