I've heard several versions of this - I've never tried it but I'm sure a handgun (or rifle ) would fire under water - but the pressure should be higher - would it be dangerously higher? By the way, I've posted a request in the General discussion - to tell mew about the mistakes writers make...

:( "I ... swung the cylinder out... used the ejector to spill the six rounds onto my hand, snapped the cylinder back, checked the knurled safety to be certain it would not fire either in double action... or with the hammer back while on safe then dry fired it...double and single action... swung...

Greetings old friends that remember me - 'Elchimangopete'I think my nick was then, back when TFL was new (I changed the name a little as since, had to move and lost the old e-mail in the process). Still in Cordoba, Argentina, where alas, gun owners are mecoming an ever more endangered spieces -...

way back when TFL and we were younger - some may recall "El Chimango", alive and well here in Argentina. Our hunting season is not open yet - May - and these last years, been restricted to a couple of months. We have an unsympathetic guv'mint too --- but we keep going! Hasta pronto!

These poor campaigners For the Children and for A Safer Wrold deserve a bit of cooperation... www.frii.com/~buchanan/hgc/index.htm Tom here has come up with a good way to lend them a hand :) :) (the link came from 'cybershooters' in the UK) Hasta pronto Peter Knight [This message has...

This turned up on the 'net, forwarded by a friend (to whom, if lurking, "thank you") - some of you have probably seen it. I've made one small update to make it 'gun related' though many of you can think of others. Call this one 'Version 1.01' - though I 'upgraded' sometime around the Atari, it...

Here in Argentina, technical problems with an imported gun can be a nightmare - import procedures and freighting is complicated with tangled regulations, so we usually try to fix them before going through the regular 'return on guarantee'... I just got an Italian Pedrersoli replica Sharps 1859...

This came to me from Steven Kendrick(has a BBS, 'cybershooters' in the UK): It seems to me that it could be "engraved on tablets of stone" :) NRA's Heston condemns U.S. "cultural abyss" DENVER (Reuters) - Following are excerpts from an address National Rifle Association President Charlton...

Its a light and slender little gun. A Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) .410 bolt action shotgun: The bolt cocks on closing, has an external guide that unclips to allow removal for cleaning. A toggle safety (down = fire) alongside the rear of the bolt (that can also be used for cocking the gun if...

How many black powder (front stuffers, newfangled breech loading thangs... whether cowboy action, historical reenactors, plain old shooters, firearms masochists generally) are out there? Lacking a forum of our own p'raps we can post here... Peter Knight (aka "El Chimango Pete" - notorious...

Worldwide silliness... My apologies HS, Bruce --- we really have same or worse here in the "other down under" (Argentina) but this was too funny (or sad) to let by. www.theaustralian.com.au/masthead/theoz/state/4335893.htm

Through some devious trading, I've wound up with a Taurus "Raging Bull" .454 Casull. Just fine, always wanted another plinker :) . The ammo though is almost unobtainable in this country (Argentina), not even for ready money - will have to resort to some more devious trading. Meanwhile...

on another forum ("Cybershooters" from the UK) I found dire warnings against using WD-40 spray in cleaning/preserving guns - any comments? (personally i love the smell of Hoppes No. 9 in the morning... but WD is usually found just about anywhere - never heard of it being harmful until now)

It would seem, if I read the line at the opening page right, that some 36 members ago the 1000 registered members milestone must have been passed ... congratulations to Rich and his team seem in order :)

I've run into a lot (about 300!) of 45 ACP brass - Argentine army, issue is Berdan - that has been drilled in the center, so they have three flash holes. I tried a few with CCI standard primers, they seat ok and velocities measure up reasonably well (IPSC, with 5 gn Unique - ok, i like the smell...

I wonder how accurate shooting really was (or needed to be) in the Old west? - We have the legendary lawmen and/or outlaws that were superb. Wild Bill Hickok killed Dave Tutt with a single shot at 75 yards - notable for being one of the few recorded actual 'duels' and also that Wild Bill used...
