Well I had to vote no because of the inclusion of planes. And it isn't because of some decompression concern. But an AD or ND on a plane could impact a control, a system or a person essential to flight. And there ain't no pulling over to wait for help.
I understand all the skepticism. But how is anyone supposed to start selling on GB. Everyone has to start at square one from a ratings perspective. Can an individual sell on GB? If so, how many individuals can take a credit card. I guess I am somewhat naive about online purchases because I would...
Well I can't say I have an organized shelf or other location. I have stuff scattered in different places. But my number one cleaning solvent for about 50 years now is Hoppe's #9. It has always worked for me so why change it? I used their gun oil for about the same amount of time though in recent...
I carry any one of 4 guns. Not really any particular "rotation" just what I happen to choose. So I wouldn't say I would change what I carry. I would just choose which of those would seem to be best for the trip. I don't travel much any more being on the plus side of elderly so I probably won't...
I could get by with a handful if I had to. But it wouldn't be easy to give up the others. But I would definitely keep these five:
S&W Model 41 for 22. I like to hit what I aim at.
Sig P220 45 ACP for home defense
Sig P226 for carry
Ruger Red Hawk 4 inch barrel 44 mag for a woods gun
Taurus...
I have never been a panic buyer or a hoarder. I have just always bought what I needed or wanted whenever it was available and I had money to spare. Usually I bought at least a little more than necessary. As a result of this now have adequate supplies of everything I need for many years. I never...
+1 on Azula. I just this week got a 2 slot pancake for my Taurus 605. Got it inless than a week for $54 shipped. It is a plain jane tan leather just like above but it is well constructed. Since I just got it I can't comment on longevity but it rides nice and tight.
Once I have reached the point where I am convinced that what I am looking for must never have existed in the first place I call my wife. For some uncanny reason she almost always finds it rather quickly. Drives me nuts.
What threads like this reenforce in my mind is that no matter what your firearm is and no matter how well trained you are no one knows for certain how they will react in the stress of a life or death confrontation.
There's been some interesting opinions expressed about my question. I understand the notion of gunpowder being the foundation of firearms. I was just looking more along the lines of things that advanced firearms as they evolved.
This came up in a discussion between my son and I. What would you consider to be the greatest invention in firearms history? It doesn't necessarily have to be something you own or even like. As a matter of fact I would rather your answer not be based on likes or dislikes at all.
My candidate is...
Yes triggers can be improved. I've done it a time or two over the years. But if I am choosing between two guns why choose the one that needs improvement? That Redhawk I mentioned earlier that has a really nice trigger and shoots accurately had to go back to Ruger before it got right. Virtually...
Well a few months back I went into a local gun shop looking for a 357 revolver. This particular shop had two that interested me, a Taurus Model 65 and a Ruger SP101. I handled and dry fired them both. The Ruger trigger was heavier and grittier. I could barely cock the hammer for a single action...
