My take on this is pretty simple. Having the right to do something and it being the smart thing to do are not the same.

My first 4 years in the Guard I was a sixty gunner, the GI was my issued sidearm... Im so glad to be back in the saddle again, I cant shoot anything else worth a hoot... JC I really believe that new shooters that plan on buying striker fired pistols should never ever shoot a 1911. Otherwise they wi...

One thing that really frustrates me about S&W is their catalog of revolver models. They have somewhere around 9 thousand models (slight exaggeration) but only actually make about a half dozen of them. I have done the research several times and settled on a particular model and barrel length only...

Used to be you could find some decent values in the used market. Seems to still hold true for shotguns. But handguns? Geez. A lot of people are asking more for used handguns than you can buy a new one for (not talking about collector items). I realize it does not mean they are selling them. I dont k...

The worst part for me is we get to do this all over again in 90 days. Some of you, maybe most of you, might not agree but the Republicans need to stop trying to get rid of Obama care as a condition of funding the government. It isn't going to happen. It is law. It has been upheld by the supreme cour...

How stupid can our so called leaders be? Yeah. They can be that stupid evidently. I am so sick of this mess I cannot even put it into words. I am willing to bet 100% of you good people did not vote to elect anyone to shut down the government or default on our debts.

+1000. Most people probably never even consider the FNS but for me its the best available.

I'm NOT REPUBLICAN! I'm CONSERVATIVE and I vote for the politician that MOST represents MY INTEREST.... AND CAN WIN! Listen to the democrap slime machine and elect McAwefull. Be USED AGAIN! You dsiserve it! Me I'm a native Texan who has in the past found a kindred mindset here in the Old Dominion b...

It could be. Think about the history of the Middle East, and what those people are still like, even after the attempts by the US, British, and French (to name a few) to "civilize" them. Civilization originated in the Middle East. :whistle: Not trying to start an argument cause I really do...

When I read the title of your post I thought this was going to be a discussion about our sudden love affair with Iran. LOL.

Problem is nobody seems to care, at all, about this election. No one is excited about it. I heard a long time republican refer to Cucinelli as a total idiot. What does that tell you? I expect a very low turnout.

Not a bad list. I think the P-38 is rated too high but as far as these lists go no argument from me.

Since the article started with the Judge I thought it was legit. But when you include the M&P, XD, 1911 and ALL revolvers has to be tongue in cheek. I hope.

They might as well just legalize it. If legalized you have control over it and cut out the criminals. Plus you cut down on the number of people we are paying to keep in jail. I know some argue that it would just add another social problem. But it is already in wide use. When the government decided t...

[quote In some ways, the fact that IBM, HP, and GE are still in business is a minor miracle in itself. Each of these companies has a different path of how it has evolved and survived several generations of technology changes, but they are still here. IBM and HP might be a minor miracle. But not GE....

I just have a real hard time caring about what happens anywhere in the middle east. If they did not have oil we would be no more concerned than we have been with the civil wars in Africa. Not saying we should be concerned with civil wars anywhere. Just using Africa as an example because where is the...

If we attack Syria I hope to hell we know for certain that the government were the ones using chemical weapons. What if the weapons were used by the rebels to draw us into action. After Iraq I am really skeptical about this stuff. And what is the estimated cost to the taxpayers? I hate that innocent...

Lot of good points. For me the bottom line is will it fit comfortably in a pocket. If it doesnt then it isnt for me. I realize that limits the options but if it isnt comfortable I will not carry it. That said I have two concealed carry handguns. A Taurus TCP 738 and a S&W 642. The TCP 738 is the...

This should be what you expect with a chain store. It isnt that much different than stores that ID everyone for beer. You know that 80 year old guy is over 21. But the corporate office insists that you ID everyone. Just reality in todays world.

Not to be a pessimist, but all the 410 loads tests I've seen for terminal performance were severely lacking. The usual places were recommending going the .45LC route for SD and leave the 410 for snakes. I know several companies have marketed special 410 loads for these revolvers, but I've yet to se...
