Score one for the good guys! I took a new shooter to the range today and we had a fun time. I also got a reminder of how a gun owner who makes a poor decision can give us all a bad name. My buddy works in sales and talks to lots of people on a daily basis, so he is a good person to have on...

Hello everybody! I bought my first handgun just over a year ago, a Beretta M9 (has a DA/SA trigger). I have added a couple of other toys since then, and I make sure to go shooting at least a couple of times a month. I've gotten pretty damn good with a Beretta, but I'm still not as accurate as I...

Life Magazine periodically publishes photo essays of retro subcultures and social issues. In the recent past they have done some really interesting photo essays on topics like the Hell's Angels, The Beatles at various points in their musical career, etc. Just today they published a photo essay...

I've been searching for a way to securely store a pistol within reach of my desk in my home office. I would prefer something that I can mount somewhere on the desk itself, since the area around my desk is constantly full of boxes, papers, and notebooks. Thus far the only option that I have...

Hey folks! Today while on a visit to my local gun range I decided on a whim to rent a snubbie and give it a try. This was the first time that I ever fired a handgun smaller than my brother's compact Glock (and I've only fired that one on a couple of occasions). I rented the Ruger LCR .357 model...

There's a new show on CNN called Inside Man, hosted by Morgan Spurlock. The premise is that he goes to live/work for a bit in whatever world/culture he is reporting. The pilot episode is running right now (Sunday 10pm EST), and he is working in a weed dispensary in California. It's mostly...

Hey all, Today at my range I decided to rent the S&W Shield in 9mm and give it a spin. On about the 4th or 5th magazine, I experienced a failure to fire. I was shooting Remington 115gr rounds. It happened in the middle of the magazine, like: Bang Bang Bang Click ehh....what? I...

Hi all, Last night I was browsing through a gun control debate thread in the off-topic section of a poker forum that I frequent. That forum tends to skew a bit left, so the antis in the gun control thread outnumber the gun guys about 60%/40%. There is one anti-gun guy who must wake up every...

Hey all, Today at my local range I met a guy who was a new shooter. I've seen him there before; he has been renting different pistols to check them out. He asked me about my Beretta M9 and what I think of it versus other handguns. I'm still a relatively new handgun owner so I told him that I...

Hey all, Here's a noob handgun owner question. I just bought a Beretta M9 a few weeks ago, my first handgun. I like the way it handles and am very happy with it thus far. In doing my research I learned that it is not wise to store a handgun with the slide open. That conflicts with what I...
