I was thinking the other day, with this system New York has in place it is the responsibilty of the County in which you reside to administer the pistol permits. Me being from one of the more strict counties in which no one can obtain a 'unrestricted' permit which allows you to carry 24/7-365...

!! PLEASE READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE VOTING !! In my current county of residence in NY, we have restrictions placed on our pistol permits to "Hunting and Target" shooting only. Irregardless if other places have this or not I was wondering if despite certain restrictions if people would be...

The last time I went to the range I decided to try something. Two magazines 4 different distances, two shots at each distance. The results were strange to say the least. I started about like 5 yards, shot two, good shots a little high. Next shot was from like 10 yards, shot two still pretty...

My experiences: WinClean ammo seems to be a pretty good deal, with a box of 100 rounds for $13 at Wally world. So I picked up a box of 50... yeah I didn't go for the deal cause I never used the ammo before. Good thing. My testing day consisted of trying Remington (once branded UMC)...

Just so everyone is aware this week Dick's has a coupon in their Flyer (as much as I don't like Dick's) the coupon is Buy one box of ammo get the other 50%, it isn't too bad of a deal. Limit 6 boxes per customer, not sure if you can have multiple coupons but it's worth a try. I know how...

I was wondering what all you guys preferred barrel wise... I've noticed many guns now coming in fluted barrels and I realize they offer better heat dissipation but why do .22 pistols come in bull, slab?, and fluted barrels? I'm looking to get educated, I've found bits and pieces by doing a...

Wanted to hear from everyone how they liked their Contender... was looking at a few today and they looked like nice firearms. Wondering what a good price range is to find them for and how much luck you've had with them. I know they are a simple design and my brother-in-law used to own one but I...

I was wondering if anyone has experience with amending their pistol permit in New York with a Black Powder pistol? I reside in Saratoga County, probably the most strict of all New York counties besides the city, but was unsure if I can order the weapon first before having the permit ammended...

Was wondering if anyone has some little tidbit of website information that I could do some more reading about muzzle loading and the like. I was interested in getting into it and have read the other posts already from people just getting into the sport. Just looking for websites really or maybe...

I'm in the market for yet another gun... woo hoo paychecks keep rollin in! It's great to be young and not have lots of liabilities... I was looking for a .357 mag/.38spcl type wheelgun. I had my eye on a snubby but have had a hard time finding one for around $600 that I liked the looks of. I...

Just wondering if anyone ever tried shooting skeet/trap with something like a .44 mag and larger calibre with shot loads in them. Seems like it would pose a whole new challenge... maybe I'll try it some day, especially there wouldn't be so much lead rain given from a pistol round. Definately a...

I almost did it today... I almost bought a bow... until I saw the price tag... it made me want to buy more guns, it was sorta like a rejuvination in my interest in guns. I fancied myself with bow once upon a time but soon almost wept at the price of a new toy... ($800+)... I then looked and saw...

I'm looking to buy a new handgun... here's my issues, I'm a type A personality so I adore quality and ruggedness... I currently own a .380 and a .40 and I've fired .44 magnum and love big calibre wheel guns, I'm looking to purchase a wheelgun and my price is anything up to around $800 or so...

I was wondering if anyone has shot skeet with a red dot with a 30mm+ objective and found that it works well? I was thinking about trying it but was unsure if I would be successful in my attemps.

I never thought elephant guns could get this BIG but I guess they do, I was impressed when someone showed me a picture of it... Definately a great self defense round! :D There are a few pictures out on the net search for .700 or even the .600 Nitro Express! [Edit] With the picture :eek:

I was wondering if someone could recommend me a good .22 pistol that is eligible for the bullseye pistol competition and also if you have any good websites about bullseye pistol that would be great as well. I posted this in the semiauto forum because first and foremost I'm asking for a good .22...

I got my new XD 40 the other day and am looking for a holster... =) I like the Galco leather ones but they are back ordered until late august. I was looking at the FOBUS ones but was concerned about 'wear' and how they held up. I'm not a fan of plastic or whatever and prefer leather but am...

As if you haven't seen them all before but here is my new baby! Can't wait to fire her... maybe this weekend sometime, till then she will be in the comfort of my cool and dry air conditioned room.... Springfield Armory XD in .40 calibre - 5" Tactical model... soon I'm going to get a Galco...

:eek: My current experiences with ordering a SA XD in service model form in the shape of a .40 calibre weapon has been frustrating to say the least. I was curious if anyone else has been 'waiting' for their XD as well... I had ordered my .40 XD Service Model in "Blued" finish approximately 4...

I was wondering if anyone had experiences with this gun. I've been facinated with the Desert Eagle Mark XIX series and was thinking about picking one up. But .50 calibre is a little overboard (if there is such a thing :) ). So I was thinking on the .44M. I'm looking to purchase a pistol while...
