Some friends and I are arguing about whether this video demonstrates poor gun safety habits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWO-EzoIbSs What do you think? Do you think the camera was really unmanned and on a tripod, or that there was a person behind it? If there was nobody behind the camera...

Here's a question... I recently bought a Ruger 22/45 MK III and got a Ruger leather holster for it that looked nice on the website. When I received the holster in the mail, I found that it does not cover the trigger at all. It looks like when they made the holster they intentionally went out...

Just wanted to share, I took a CCW class recently (Arizona) and it was quite an experience. I was raised around guns and have owned guns and shot occasionally for over 10 years, but never got around to taking the CCW class. I have to credit my nephew for finally urging me to do it. He had a...

Heya guys, any CZ 40B owners around here? I have a couple questions. I don't have a heck of a lot of experience with handguns, so bear with me if this sounds like a strange question. I recently took a CCW course, and in order to prepare for the course, I took a few trips to the shooting range...

Hey guys, I haven't been around much lately but I had a question for ya. First of all I finally bought a Ruger 22/45 MK III, I have wanted one for years. I have read that you can grind down the grip sides and put in bushings to allow you to use standard 1911 grips. I'd like to do this to...

Hey guys, I grew up in a family that would occasionally go camping and shooting was part of that. I learned about guns and when I got older I bough a few of my own. I have had a few handguns, a .22LR rifle, and a shotgun. However, until recently, I never owned a high-powered rifle and I...

Hey guys, I want to add a 22 autoloader handgun to my collection. Right now the 2 guns I like the most are the Ruger Mark III and the Walther P22. What do you guys think of these 2 guns, which is more solid and reliable and foolproof? I know some will suggest a Ruger single six but I have...

Hi, my nephew is a process server and has gotten into a few hair-raising situations where he felt threatened. He says he wants to get his CCW permit and start carrying on the job. He also wants to buy a .22, and he's pretty firm on that. I have tried to talk him into buying a larger caliber...

I recently bought a P11 for $200. I was EXTREMELY happy with it at the range. For some crazy reason I was shooting tighter groups with this tiny gun than with my bigass Ruger Redhawk .44 or my CZ40B .40 S&W, both of which feel much more comfortable in my hand. Anyways I am hooked on pocket...

One of my in-laws was just at my house and I told him I was taking a CCW class. He was very rude and said no one had any business carrying a concealed weapon. He also said "If you shoot someone you'll go to jail, even if they pull a gun on you". I pointed out that he was mistaken but he...

What's the revolver Bruce Willis carries? What kind of autochucker does Jackie Boy have, where the slide ends up embedded in his head?

I just bought a kel-tec P11. It should come tomorrow. What are your thoughts on this gun? I mostly bought it because I needed a small gun for CCW. I am signed up for a CCW class next week and I don't really have a small, easily-concealable gun so I bought the P-11 because it was the only...

Do I have to have some kind of permit to openly carry a handgun in Arizona? I'm signed up for a CCW class a couple weeks from now, but until then, I would like to openly carry my handgun when I go jogging. Is this legal? Also does anyone know the Arizona law regarding warning shots?

Why did they call old .38 revolvers Suicide Specials? Also, my brother-in-law has a tiny .22LR autochucker he calls his "midnight special". What does that mean? I'm new to some of this slang... :uhoh: :banghead:

I gather, from searching, that pinned means there is a pin stuck through the body and barrel, to prevent the barrel from unscrewing. That makes sense. What I can't seem to find is what a recessed cylinder is. Looking at pictures of "pinned & recessed" S&W wheelguns, I don't see anything...

Is there a rifle that would work well for defense against bears, but also uses inexpensive ammo and is useful for plinking or deer hunting? It would also need to be a short rifle and not too heavy, for carrying when backpacking and such. I don't know much about rifles but a lever-action...

OK, I'm at work and I'm really bored, it's a slow day, etc... I was looking at my gun today and I noticed that I have a plastic-handled, fine-tip screwdriver whose handle fits perfectly down the .44 barrel. Just out of curiosity, what would happen if someone stuck a screwdriver, or some...

The two guns in question, both .357 Magnum: Taurus 627 in 4" SS Ruger GP100 in 4" SS The Taurus I can get for about $360 whereas the Ruger I can get for $425. Not a humongous price difference but $65 is something. What are the pros and cons of these 2 choices? My Dad wants...

I bought a new Ruger Redhawk 5.5" barreled .44 magnum recently and I enjoy shooting it. However, I am wondering if I should be careful not to shoot it too much and wear it out. I have read that magnum loads can wear the forcing cones out quickly and cause flame cutting. Can anyone give me...

I am curious what kinds of rubber grips you guys like best for recoil control, and why. Post away please! Comments are appreciated. I might try all 3 kinds. I just purchased some Pachmayr Decelerators and I like them a lot so far. I also scored some Uncle Mike's on Ebay for cheap but they...
