  1. How old were you when you first fired a gun?

    BB gun at 6. .22 rifles under dad's close supervision at a family friend's farm at maybe age 10. From age 7-9 my dad would occasionally let me fire a few shots of a 22 rifle or .22 pistol when he was shooting at the range and I was tagging along, but I did not get any real serious instruction...

  2. What and how do you carry while you run?

    I used to do a nylon fanny pack with a Kel-Tec P32 (these days it would be the .380 version) in the big main compartment, and my phone, my D/L and credit cards and GWL, and my car key, in the smaller compartment. (I'd leave the rest of my fat, bulky wallet locked in my car). Everything in that...

  3. Looking to date smith and wesson model 36 with box

  4. get ready for the Biogun!! finger and face ID.

    I do the appendix carry thing. So maybe I'd be interested in a "smart gun" if it recognized its owner by sniffing his or her pubes.

  5. What do I need?

    With the standard 4-round mag, it's purely a hunting gun. But put an aftermarket 10-round mag in it, and add some camo tape or a gun sock to hide the glossy "LOOK AT ME: I"M SO BEAUTIFUL" finish, then you have something you can use for tactical work, too.

  6. What do I need?

    OP, your current collection is lacking a full-power rifle suitable for big game hunting past 150 yards, and for the role of "sniper / countersniper / squad designated marksman" with a hard-hitting bullet that still hits hard and breaks stuff and kills big animals at several hundred yards. So...

    Need help.

    A Taurus 92 sure looks a lot like a Beretta 92 or M9. I used to have a Taurus 92.

    Looking for flashlight recommendations with remote switch for a shotgun

    If it doesn't come with a remote-wired pressure switch, see if you can buy that separately, usually by replacing the end cap / tail cap for the flashlight. Being able to activate the light while keeping your hands on the normal firing grip on the gun's stock or fore-end is critical, I think.

    Looking for flashlight recommendations with remote switch for a shotgun

    This 20 gauge pump has a cheap ($60 back a dozen years ago) light, LED, with something like four or five different lighting and flashing modes. It's also got a red laser and you can make the laser come on separately from, or along with, the flashlight. I like it. It was made to clamp on the...

  10. Best Handgun for a rank novice?

    DAO might be good for a novice for reasons that have nothing to do with second strike capability, but rather a longer and heavier trigger pull which can prevent accidental discharges under stress (by a person who is poorly trained or not trained at all in weapons handling.)

  11. Best Handgun for a rank novice?

    Claymore mine on a chest rig, sitting on top of the steel plate. You don't aim; just orient yourself towards the threat -- i.e. "northwest"

  12. Best Handgun for a rank novice?

    DAO revolver. He won't be accurate with it, but at least it will fire when he wants it to, and NOT FIRE the other times.

    What a 308 does to a steel plate at 300 yards.

    I have 3/8" thick AR500 STEEL plates and I've hit them with a bunch of .308, .243 Win (100 grain SP) and 7.62 x 54R from 100 and 200 yds. That is certainly NOT an "AR 500" plate. Looks like regular construction and fabrication grade steel a welding shop might have on hand.

  14. Semi auto or O/U ?

    After 30 years of only having single-barrel, single shot AND PUMP shotguns, a few years ago I decided to get EITHER a semi-auto or an over-under, only for sporting purposes, and not even big game hunting either (no use of slugs or buckshot). My budget was $400 to $500. I decided to get a...

    Milsurp Unicorn Alert!

    I'd give three-hunnert an' fitty dollars for it. Considering that despite the chambering in .30-06, a fine deer hunting round, I'd have to get it drilled and tapped for a Simmons scope, and spray-paint the whole thing a special camo pattern of my own design, using leaves and grass from my own...

  16. I was just down at the range and it is nothing personal only business.

    740 / 7400 are semi auto versions which have a reputation of being Jam-O-Matics. So they may only be worth $300-$400. The 760 / 7600 Gamemaster are the pump action versions which have a much better reputation for reliability, although people don't seem to be impressed with their benchrest...

  17. Hikers Companion Pistol?

    What's the point of the video? I don't feel like watching movies. Do you have an answer to the question? ( and the question is primarily about guns, not about cartridges / calibers.)

    SMITH & WESSON 6”. 357

    Well, we all know the distance between points A and B is seven inches.

  19. Best Handgun Defensive Caliber for Old Arthritic Granny?

    Being able to whistle the theme music for "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" would be a strong deterrent, too.

  20. Best Handgun Defensive Caliber for Old Arthritic Granny?

    can Granny say: "Repent, the End is Near!"
