OK. You are riding along in your vehicle. A semi passes by you. A unmarked sedan comes behind the semi with headlights flashing and a red/blue dashlight flashing. The semi pulls over. You are rubbernecking the traffic stop. The "LEOs" strike the trucker, kick him/her in the mouth and ribs...

I am interested in purchasing some resin replicas of weapons. www.maxsell.com has many listed at their website under resin handguns and resin long guns. Has anyone purchased any of their resin replicas? Quality?

OK. I am not a believer in the so-called Strasburgh testing. It just is a myth. I am a believer in the credible testing performed by Colonel Louis A. LaGarde, M.D., USA. He wrote a tome enitled Gunshot Injuries. 101 years ago! Human cadavers were the test subjects. The test subjects were...

OK, I confess, I collect. My collection is eclectic. H&Rs, S&Ws, Dan Wessons, Colts, Llamas, Cherokees, Taurus and even Webleys/Enfields. My latest thought is trying to collect the same/similar S&W models. 2"-6" M10s/M&Ps/Model of 1905s in 38 Special as an example. My object of interest...

Allow me to begin with a quote; "We're doing so many nice things now. It's unfortunate that somebody always wants to bad-mouth Camden." Attributed to Camden Mayor, Gwendolyn Fatson. The Morgan Quitno Press named the Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities. Camden, NJ, Detroit, MI, St. Louis, MO...

OK. The rumour around is that a CCW armed citizen was in the Tacoma, WA mall. The armed citizen had a weapon, a good sight picture but, an uncertain backstop and too many IBs in the area. No free fire exchange. I applaud the decision NOT to fire. The question is, IF there were a good...

OK. To keep this thread firearms related, I was CCWing my BHP 9MM with 20 round magazines. 61 rounds total. The stats are 23 injured and 1 dead from TWO F3 tornadoes in my area. I had some siding/soffit loss and water damage. A mould problem now. The point? NO 911, no power, no cell...

A long time friend asked me about a straw purchase. The situation was explained to me in the following manner. A buys a Winchester LA rifle. A dies. As widow has the LA rifle. B is As close friend and As widows sisters live-in. B is a convicted felon from a violent crime involving...

I am still seeking my own M&P 44. I ran across a tuned M14 in 38 Special, 6", 4 Ts and beveled chamber mouths. The action is smooth as silk in DA and breaks like glass in SA. Deep blue. Partridge blade front sight. Shop wants $450.00. I am interested in hearing from owners of M14s.

I had dinner out tonight. I was reading the local birdcage liner and noted what I feel is an abuse. The local PD made an arrest of a couple on a complaint. What is the abuse? There is a felony charge of 1st Degree wanton endangerment. The PD detective filed the charge as there was a number...

I am narrowing my options. I have been considering 325s, 625s and a 629 in snubs and mountain gun forms. I then stopped and thought better. Older classic S&Ws are what I have and most of them are blued. 2" to 6" K and N frames. 38 S&W, 38 Special and 357 Magnums. I figured I should...

OK. Theoretical query. The state NG is busy with a natural disaster, most of the active miltary is deployed to foreign lands, the state police, city police and sheriff are all understaffed due to reservists serving and there are limited resources. A event triggers violence. The violence grows...

OK. I am looking at BIG bore 44s and maybe a 45 ACP. I was looking over the S&W Frankenstein 45 ACPs known as the 325. 2.5" and 5" IIRC. I asked if I could try the action out by dryfiring these revolvers. The salesman said no. Dryfiring is destructive and will damage these S&W models...

OK. I am considering a 629 4" Mountain Gun. I would appreciate hearing from owners. My major issue is the fit and finish/polish. The few I have seen pass the check out except for the finish/polish. The one I held today was definitely better finish/polish on the cylinder than the rest of the...

I wonder which compact 22 lr semi-auto you would pick and why? No Rugers, no Neos and no Erma 22 Luger suggestions please.

OK. Ruger no longer makes the SP-101 in 22 lr. Taurus makes the Tracker 22 which is the only decent quality 22 lr revolver currently available in the mid-priced field. Commanche is the low price 22 lr revolver. Why does S&W not answer the clue phone? The revolver that would sell as fast as...
