    FYI: new proposed "safety" device

    Based on what this guy has been saying he's confident this will be on every new gun sold.... Thoughts?

    Best Deal Ever

    Old boyscouts Marlin 780--$50 (donation). Just picked up a Mossberg 500 in near perfect shape for about $100. Action also as smooth as butters. Some guns (a lot of pump guns come to mind) are just better after someone else shot the hell out of them.

    Rude guy at the range....third time.

    OP, are you the same Jaybird on SBN? My vote is for "talk to the club committee and cancel them membership if they do nothing."

    New Army Fitness Tests.....

    As a cadet hoping to commission in 2 years, I hope this test will be more beneficial to me than the current APFT. I also wonder how much fun everyone will have setting the course up...

    Getting girlfriend into shooting clays...

    I recently started trap shooting and love it. And for once,think it's something gun-related my girlfriend would like too. I have a Mossberg 500A 12ga with I think a 26" barrel. With a 2.75" shell loaded with 1oz of #7, it kicks about the same as my Mosin 91/30, which I know is too much for her...

    Worth it to carry a custom 1911?

    I have the opportunity to have a custom 1911 made for carry at a price under $2000. This gun would be my EDC and a frequently used range gun. I feel like I understand the value of a custom 1911 in the fact that it is built to my spec (full sized frame, 4.25" barrel, bobtail, 3.5# trigger...

    Self defense in college

    Update Campus police informed me that I can have pepper spray and "small folding knives." So I have some FOX pepper spray, a Surefire-type light, and now can somebody please recommend a good "small folding knife?" Thanks for all the responses so far.

    Self defense in college

    I am the OP of this thread-- Still here. I'm living on campus. Last week there was 1) an armed robbery at a store a few hundred yards from my dorm, 2) a strong-arm robbery, and 3) another robbery in which a student was "stabbed at." I sent an email to the director of public safety (some...

    Turning 21! First carry-1911! With a somewhat unique caveat.

    Thank you for everyone's replies so far. That's it. No Kimbers, Springfields. Told you it sucks here. :( That Colt Mustang looks nice, but it's not on the list. What I really want is something like an Ed Brown Executive Carry, but by the time I can afford that (with all the features I want)...

    Turning 21! First carry-1911! With a somewhat unique caveat.

    Well, I guess it's about time to start researching carry 1911s... About me: I live in Massachusetts. Yes, living here does suck as much as everyone think it does. Case in point: if I buy a handgun from an FFL, it MUST be one of the handguns on THIS LIST. Either that, or (this is...

    McDonald v. Chicago oral arguments--question

    I plan on attending the oral arguments of McDonald v. Chicago at the Supreme Court. They start at 10, so I was wondering what time I should be there to get in line. Will this be a more of a monumental case in the public's eyes, or is it simply "the incorporation of the Second Amendment," in...

    Self defense in college

    Not sure about the legality of discharging pepper spray on a train, but it is legal to carry in Baltimore, so I assume that it is legal to discharge if truly needed. I just have old "Mace" brand stuff and am going to pick up some Fox. Can anyone suggest an online retailer? Thank you for...

    Electronic devices are illegal to possess in Baltimore...I am not sure what the penalty is. If it isn't much, I will perhaps just get one...

    Self defense in college

    I am a Freshman at a school in Baltimore, MD ("The Greatest City in the World"), where I live on campus. Today on the way back from the airport on a small city train (the "Light Rail" if anyone knows B-more), I had an encounter that could have ended very badly. Long story short I lost a $5...

    Right handed, left-eye dominant

    I recently took a friend to the range for the first time. We had a Marlin 780 and a scoped Ruger 10/22. I noticed she had a lot of trouble using the iron sights on the 780, so I switched her to the scoped rifle and she shot it just fine. Then I noticed she was sighting from her left eye, and...

    What gun for an offshore boat?

    Honestly, unless you have encountered pirates, call the Coast Guard. They'll probably know what types of guns are best for you, and how exactly a "pirate invasion" works. I'm not sure who you'd contact. Pick one. http://www.uscg.mil/top/units/org.asp

    Does the 1911 really need a thumb safety?

    Well, when JMB originally invented his handgun, known as the 1910, it did not have a thumb safety, only the grip safety. The military then told him it was too dangerous to carry, and he then installed a thumb safety on his new 1911. Still, soldiers were told to carry their firearms with the...

    Is it me or the gun?

    I have a 5" Para 1911 that I've been shooting. I'm a righty. Every time I shoot it, I'm always off a few inches to the left at about 50 feet. I've tried correcting my trigger finger, squeezing my right hand harder, but I'm still off to the left. Everyone else that shoots it is off to the left as...
