    hey guys, help me make a poll for my sons 1st 1911

    he is looking at buying a 1911 pistol. he prefers a 4" barrel, and as most youngsta's, is on a tight budget. he is looking to spend no more than 500-550. so what i would like to do is create a poll to get an idea of what is better, and what to steer away from, but the only names i can think...

    Would you feel safe with an m1 garand in grizzly country?

    i might get a chance to do something that for me will surely be a once in a lifetime experience. a 5 day salmon fishing trip in alaska. i have been told that one possible area we could be taken to has a healthy population of brown bears, and that bear sprays at the very least should be taken...

    maybe ive been wrong about ak accuracy. how accurate is yours?

    ive always heard that ak's just are not precision fire rifles. in fact the term "minute of man" or "minute of pieplate" is the term i see most often describing their accuracy. im sure most have seen this too. i did a thr search for "ak accuracy" without much luck. im sure most of you have...
