why gun shop employees in my area wear guns. It isn't to protect themselves from criminals. It is to protect themselves from customers when they make a lowball offer on a trade. Example - I was in my more frequented gun shop (a place where I have spent thousands of dollars) and I was there to...

Just wanted to report that I took my new Auto-Ordinance M1 Carbine to the range yesterday. The gun: Fit and finish are very good, the oiled walnut stock sets off the parkerized parts very nicely. Controls where they should be and the gun "felt right". You guys know what I mean. The ammo...

I imagine this would fall under "Just do your job and mind your own f-----g business" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301040,00.html

Yesterday, as I was playing with my father-in law's laser range finder, I began to think of how I might use it for HD purposes. I figured that if I knew ahead of time the range to various spots where an intruder or other from a SHTF scenario, I would be in a better position to more accurately...

I'm looking to purchase an M1 Carbine in th enear future, but as I browsed the listings at Gunbroker, I noticed that there were a lot of manufacturers and a huge range of prices. I was wondering which brands were ones to look for and ones to avoid I saw Inland, Universal, Underwood, Plainfield...

I have been looking for a way to have an accessible handgun on the first floor of my house without running the risk of my children (two beautiful boys, 3+5) discovering the weapon. I was thinking of the "hide in plain sight" method, and thought cutting out a section of a large enough book would...

In my neighborhood, there has been a small series of car break-ins and one home break-in. Since this happened down the street from my house, I decided it would be prudent to relocate a firearm to a more accessible location should something go "bump" in the night. Ordinarily, I do not have a...

Heard on the news this morning there is another video of a Chicago police officer beating someone. Phil Cline, the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, resigned early a couple days ago, but will stay until a replacement has been chosen. Chicago police officers have been seen...

Just womdering how the IGOLD went and if there were any updates on the recent assault weapons ban proposal. Also, does anyone know if there is any more information on the proposl for concealed carry in IL?

Finally scratched an itch that had been bugging me for a while. Was looking into the SA 1911's and was considering the GI as that was in my budget. I don't know why I wanted one, I just felt I needed to add one to my arsenal. I was seriously considering the Stainless GI's my dealer had for...

I happened across a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec in Stainless with the night sights and the grips with the crossed cannons on it. All accressories included, as well as hard case, holster and lock. Gun was being sold as used, although I couldn't see any noticeable wear at all. Like it was fired...

Don't have any pictures, sorry, but I will describe as best I can. Brother in law was shooting, and he's okay, just shaken up a little. There is a visible split in the chamber of the barrel, starting forward from the rear, just under the numbers on the chamber. Seems like things blew...

Has anyone felt the need to replace the factory springs in their XD with a heavier/lighter spring? I was ordering from Midway this morning and noticed that Wolff Springs had different powered springs. I believe they had a 17#, a 19#, and a 24# spring set. From what I understand, you have to...

have ever bought a gun because they saw it in a movie? C'mon, fess up. I know there has to be another person besides myself that felt his gun collection was incomplete without a Sharps replica after watching Quigley Down Under.:rolleyes: I will admit to being very interested in 1911's after...

I recently aquired a Ruger Vaquero in 40 S&W. Anyone know what the production numbers on these are? I have seen several marked 40S&W/38-40, but none marked just with the 40S&W.
