    First handgun?

    When just starting I bought a lot of guns trying to find just the one best gun for me and found....there isn't just one perfect gun but: Like many said, I'd try to find a range that will rent a few different types of guns and try them all before buying anything - then get the one that 'feels'...

    Reload newbie needs advice on .40S&W

    Thanks Jeeper - your post was very helpful to me - I think I'll skip the Lee stuff for right now and concentrate on what I already bought - The straight Dillon dies - and see how it goes, then I have something to compare. I'll try the Montana Gold/N320. Another stupid question...

    What would you like your gun to smell like?

    "I love the smell of napalm in the morning....." Oh, I digress......... Lead, steel, Hoppes 9, grease, oil, ....If they make Lady Smith's smell like roses - the BG's would just run from the scent of the gun.

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt

    Ditto Navy Joe - maybe volunteer at Safety Courses until it's drilled in that Safety comes first. I know at my club it is stressed ad nauseum but I'm glad of it. I know I don't like to shoot around anyone that has a few 'mishaps' since I could be their next one. There should be no little...

    How important is your knowledge of the piece's mechanics.?

    Well, - you know 'Zen and the Art of Firearm Maintenance' and all - the first thing I did when I got my first 1911 was to buy the best Gunsmithing manual I could (and the DVD) and started to tear it apart. I don't ever expect to actually do any difficult work on my gun ........I leave that to...

    Reload newbie needs advice on .40S&W

    Hope this isn't a 'stupid question' but: Is a Lee Factor Crimp Die and a Lee U Die the same thing? Do they fit a Dillon 550B? Also: Any opinions on which is better and why - Universal or Blue Dot? I will try both but....would like some opinions - I hear good things on both. I did get...

    Have you taken a non-shooter out shooting?

    Yes - if taking someone that used to plink with a BB as a kid and wanted to learn a little about USPSA counts. Now they're shopping for their first auto :)

    How To Be Taken Seriously At Gun Shop

    I agree with iamkris to a point. I think the gunshops - if they want to stay in business for the long term - should have a policy of education for the customer. Everyone that walks into the gunshops doesn't have a base of knowledge (yeah THR :)) and you never know when someone who is...

    recap = why do you carry a gun? please remind me

    Because when the Second Ammendment gives me that right I like to make use of it so I don't lose it someday - because I live in the US (not CA) and can - and because it's the sensible thing to do.

    1911 reliability problems, had any?

    Have P16-40 and the only problem I've had with it was caused by my own error - it has been totally reliable for me and I love the gun. I do have slight modifications to the gun - but had no problems before or after they were done. I also have a custom built gun that has no problems at all...

    Favorite "recreational" .45 ACP target ammo'

    I'd like to always get the Federal AE 230 FMJ but have to admit the price of the Winchester Value Paks at WW (for both .40S&W and .45) are addictive at that price. Really helps the guilt factor of spending all my disposable income on ammunition (althought hopefully that will stop now that I...

    Lost my 1911

    Just came across the post .............. Would definitely get another 1911 (unless you want to buy HER a new one if you've become attached to yours) - - And, since you both like the .45 now would be the perfect opportunity to convince her that you should have that new Dillon 650 (if you...

    Kimber 4" Pro or STI Ranger II

    Anyone have any experience with both of these .45s. Looking for a 4" with standard grip and both have been recommended to me. Any opinions I get here make my shopping experience much easier. Other suggestions welcome also at this point in the decision making process. Thanks
