Whats the purpose of placing a pen in the trigger?
I don't disagree with you. I just recognize the combination of the venue and human nature. On the Harley forums I used to frequent, everybody had to post a picture of their stock fat boy or Sportster. And they all look the same.

357 Sig
The 125 grain 357 mag has the law enforcement track record as the most effective man-stopper (i.e. bringing down a criminal and ending a fight). Various reasons have arisen as to why it is not used as much, like recoil, political correctness of using a "magnum" against criminals, prevalence of semi-autos, etc. The 357 Sig is able to duplicate the ballistics of the revolver round in a platform that has higher capacity, less recoil, and feeds extremely well due to the case design. To me, the round is a winner for self protection. It is flat shooting and devastating. Reloading it is a pain in the ass though due to the bottleneck design.

Firearm Transport Question - SUV - Gun Bag
Thank you. I was dreading having to buy new shocks and springs for my Rav4 due to driving around with my 600 pound gun safe to go to the range.

Whats the purpose of placing a pen in the trigger?
Hmm... Trying to figure out if there is humor in this post or if it is just douche-iness. Guns are like babies. Everybody wants to show theirs off, even if it is ugly and looks like a thousand others. It is a gun forum after all, and that means we are going to see the new guys Glock 17, the millionth of its kind or the newest flavor of Mossberg Tacticool Abortion. That said, how do you like my new gun?

A letter from Senator Ted Cruz
Thanks. I will modify "Hudson County machine crook" to "Accused Pederast Hudson County machine crook"

What pistol are you waiting forever for?
Could you have asked him to tell you when your number comes up, then ship it to him? That's a lot of down time for a gun you want to shoot. It's one reason I didn't send my Colt Series 70 to the Colt Custom shop. You just mail it to them and wait over a year for them to do their work.

Thanks for posting. Won't be doing business with GregV.

MINI 14 Question
I am glad they work for you. I don't have any for my Mini-14, but calling ProMag the "best in breed" for anything makes me gag. They are THE WORST handgun magazines I have ever encountered. Any one of them will turn a good functioning gun into a jam-o-matic. And this is across several gun platforms. Their reputation is very poor.

A letter from Senator Ted Cruz
So that's what a real senator sounds like. Between the Hudson County machine crook and the Cryptkeeper we have in New Jersey, I forgot what one should sound like.

Converted another one!
Good job. Keep 'em coming.

MINI 14 Question
Mine was same way. Very tight fit. It will break in.

ARs in stock at Hague's in West Deptford
That is actually a reasonable price considering the current environment. I was led to believe that Hague's was overpriced on everything. Maybe they just haven't caught up yet and this was their everyday price.

Whats the purpose of placing a pen in the trigger?
To elevate a portion of the gun so you are not always taking flat overhead pics of it.

NYT Op-Ed / Is This For Real???
In New Jersey, owning a gun is practically a political statement because of what you have to go through. In free states, you just walk into a store and get one and maybe stick it in your sock drawer when you get home. I think there are more gun owners like this than we know.

9mm - First Purchase
I know it sounds difficult, but (within reason) try to NOT factor in the price of the gun you will be buying. A $300 difference is less than 20 boxes of 9mm these days if you don't reload. Over the gun's lifetime, a few hundred dollars is nothing. Start saving up $$$ now and have no regrets later.

So... my spleen ruptured
With your track record, perhaps you should consider switching to a Gentile doctor.

Ithaca m37 locks up
That would be upsetting. Especially for the gun that has the rep for the truest barrel because of the receiver lockup.

Ithaca m37 locks up
I find that it is always easier if I rack the pump immediately after the shot is fired. If I wait, it requires more force to rack it. I always figured that either the hull was expanding or was getting the chance to catch on a small ledge or unpolished surface. By the way (I'm sure you probably know), but your M37 doesn't have a disconnector either. It is fun doing a four round rack and shoot.

Ammo limits?
Not a law....yet. Company policy to stop people from hoarding.

S2430 - This fax going out tonight
Good statement. Let them know there will be repurcussions.

Need help w/Disasembly on 870 tactical - in-progress
Use brass punch to drive them through. They are standard notched pins.

Would you pay $1800 for a Glock 17 Gen 1 ?
First gen Glock. Collectible maybe?

Single Action Revolver - What's your pick?
Single action is nice, although I think the SA triggers are usually nicer in SA/DA revolvers.. I have a problem with that standard rounded grip on the standard SA revolver. I have gorilla hands and find the edge cuts into the palm of my hand when shooting anything other than cowboy loads. If you have hands on the larger side (or even if you don't) check out the Ruger Bisley SA revolver line. It has a straighter grip that is much more comfortable to shoot, especially stout loads in 44mag and up, etc
