Hi. Obviously, we don't want anyone admitting anything that could get them in trouble. SO, I've set up a poll. Go ahead and vote, post or don't post, please at least vote. I'm just curious what you all do...

Hi. I have an old Remington .22 rifle that I've been shooting lately. I have two different cleaning kits, and each of the rods seems too big for the bore. Whenever I clean the bore, I can feel the rod scraping against the bore. Today, I noticed quite an amount of metal flakes, likely from the...

So some family came into town today. I finished cleaning a gun, and was putting away the cleaning kit. (Guns had already been stored safely, as my little 7 y.o. cousin was coming as well...) So my uncle asks me; "What is that? Gun stuff?" Followed with a HUGE :rolleyes: from him. God, that...

Geeze...I'm sorry! Didn't even occur to me that that could be offensive to anyone! I have nothing but complete respect for women. I just thought that little post was amusing and would put a smile on some people's faces. I apologise indeed if I offended anyone. Regards, Drjones

Reasons why a handgun is better than a woman: You can buy a silencer for a handgun. You can trade a .44 for two .22's. You can have a handgun at home and another for the road. If you admire a friend's handgun and tell him so, he will be impressed and let you try a few rounds with it...

Hi. After my trip to the range yesterday, I needed to clean my Mossberg. I ran the copper brush through it several times, then soaked a patch in cleaner, ran that thru, and then lubed lightly with militec. Unfortunately, I think there is still some fouling in the barrel. 1) Could this be...

So I've been eyeing a .45 lately. This Stainless Springfield caught my eye at the range shop, and today I rented it. ****. Think I'm hooked, boys! :D It's quite amazing how such a big bullet produces such low recoil. I SWEAR to GOD, my 9mm Ruger POS (IMO) kicks MORE than that Springie did...

OK. Looking at a 1911. Specifically, This One 1) My local dealer has it for $699, NIB w/2 mags. Fair price? 2) I've read COUNTLESS posts about how a 1911 needs to be "tuned". Are these guns REALLY THAT high-maintenance and unacceptable out of the box??? It sounds like they won't even shoot...

On page B7 of today's (Sat. Aug. 17) Sacramento Bee Newspaper, there is an article entitled "How women are a lot safer when they pack guns." :D :D :D GREAT story. Obviously, not new information to us, but nice to get the positive press. I'll include some snippets I think are most interesting...

You know how it goes! Sorry, no Britney pics here, you dirty old men! Just got a Beretta 96FS Stainless! I was supposed to take another girl to the range today, but directions got screwed up, and it just didn't work out. Oh well... I came out of the deal with a new gun, so I'll take that over a...

Is $499 a decent price for a Stainless (Inox) Beretta 92FS? Includes 2 mags., and YES it is slightly used. I have inspected it myself, and it is in quite good shape. A touch of wear under the trigger guard, right at the bottom of the serrations, probably from a holster. Other than that, quite...

How much spare ammo do you keep around the house for SD situations? I just don't feel comfortable having two full clips for my Beretta 96, my Mossberg filled with 00 buck and nothing else! I'd like to keep more ammo around for my 96, as well as a bandoleer with more shotshells for my 12. What...

Taking a newbie to the range & some other stuff... Hi. Taking a *hot* young lady to the range for the first time tomorrow. :D Coupla questions: 1) I have some .22 rifles that I'm going to start her on so she doesn't get scared or start flinching or anything. Good idea, right? 2) After the...

Hi. How do you carry concealed while dressed in a suit? I've got a Beretta 96, which obviously is a large gun. It works GREAT with my FIST tuckable kydex with jeans, khakis and the like. However, I'm changing jobs and will now be wearing a suit everyday. The tuckable will not work with a fine...

Hi. Shot some 1oz. 1600 fps 2 3/4 in. slugs through my 12ga. moss. pump the other day. OUCH. PLEASE don't tell me that 00 Buck and other loads kick as badly as those did!!! Drjones

Here's a new one: (I think) Suppose you are caught in a situation in which you are forced to use your weapon. You are completely and totally justified in using your weapon; you are in grave, imminent, and unavoidable danger of losing your life. The specifics don't matter as much as this: you...

I owe you an apology for the threat I made. That is out of line and inappropriate behavior on my part. We are going to have to agree to disagree. Perhaps we could have a contest at the range and declare the winner "morally correct" on our issue. ;) Drjones

Allright. I tried editing my "Another help me decide" thread, but the board won't let me. So I'm forced to post a new one. Looking to get a few more pistols before the insane new Cali gun laws start in 2003. I just got a Beretta 96 that I LOVE. I've always loved Berettas, and have always...

Couple questions. I'm concerned about the new laws being enacted in cali jan. 2003, and want to purchase several more guns before the end of the year. 1) In 2003, under the new laws, do they apply to guns purchased from a private party out of state??? (Transfered LEGALLY to an FFL, OF...
