Might be a baby bear...although we don't have brown bears here in NJ. A few years back after I got out of college I was living in a converted garage/apartment that had a 500 acre field with a stream that backed up to a mountain. One night in the middle of summer at about 2 in the morning I started to hear what sounded like a baby crying out in the field. It sent goose bumps up my spine and still does to this day. I went out to investigate (against the voices in my head screaming at me to stay put) and found nothing. A couple nights later I heard it again and started having thoughts of Children of the Corn, etc... I inquired to a couple of people that lived near me and they said it was the baby bears. The mother's would lead them down to the stream to drink and into the fields to raid the corn. When they got separated they would cry and it sounds like a baby...totally freaked me out!!

Dogs are definitely a man's best friend. I know my one year old pitbull had no problem snuggling on the couch last night when my wife and I got in an argument...LOL Putting one down is one of the hardest things to do as everyone above mentioned. Keep your head up man.

Anyone have the extended mag release for the glock? I love the gun except when I am trying to switch out mags. The extender definitely looks like it will help out, but after looking at the pictures I am wondering if it might be too big. What are your experiences out there? Also, how hard was it to install?

I was able to watch the first two episodes of season 1 last night, and then caught the DVR of the first episode of season 2 tonight. So far, I am at least glad that season two is not full of engineers who can think of McGiver type things like wood fuel...that made season 1 seem too far out there from the start. As for season 2...they really need to get their heads in the game. First thing I would do in a situation like that is put up a defense...anything...they totally didn't even think about it. Next I would make myself as hard to find as possible, and my supplies even harder. Does anyone ever watch Midway's Best Defense Survival? Great show if you can catch it or DVR it. Living close to camden/philly I have been passing different survival situations in my head for a few months now. I am sure none of my hippy neighbors are going to be good for anything if riots ever broke out....

Thanks for the info. Checked out the site and the one thing that would help a newbie like me out is maybe have a discription of what each type of shoot entales. 3 Gun, Combat, Rimfire (other than the guns), etc...

Went over to Dick's and put a round of ACP into the cylinder. It fell halfway through so the cylinder I have is chambered for Colt .45.

Bob, Thanks for your help with this. I am going to have to take it to the store and see what type of rounds fit as this is the only .45 I own and I have never had any ammo for it. I'll let everyone know what I find out as I am sure the great mystery is on everyone's minds. LOL Russ

The etching on the side of the frame says ".45" Does not differentiate between LCP or Colt. However a quick check of the Ruger website lists the Blackhawk as being .45 Colt. I did check the cylinder, however there are no markings on it at all except for a small "S" http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelB ... odels.html Mine also has Rosewood grips like the Super instead of synthetic as pictured on the site http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelS ... odels.html

I know I'm way late with the response to this...However I have a Ruger Blackhawk Single Action .45 Revolver. It is in pristine condition. Not sure if you found anything yet, however I am open to a trade or cash...

I have considered the trijicon several times. The one stalling point for me is that the fiber optics are supposed to last for about 7 years...can't remember where I read that. I would hate to but one and then have to replace it just because it went bad from time. Granted it probably will last a little longer, but you never know. Anyone have any personal expereince with them? Also, one thing I notice a lot about pictures coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are that most of the troops seem to be using the trijicon ACOG with battery backup.

I'll take the general lack of reply to be a bad sign...

Sweet, I didn't even know I was a member. Do I get a patch or maybe a tattoo? LOL Thanks for all the "Welcomes" Seems to be a really great forum so far. kwads...keep us up to date with that new range.

What? Really? Why? Ray Ray, Just makes me nervous I guess. I am using a Serpa holster right now which is good at protecting the trigger, however I just don't have enough time and practice in with the draw I guess. I'd hate to shoot my toe off...LOL

In the back of the NRA Magazine in the events section there is a listing for a gun show this weekend in DE. Anyone have anymore information about this show as I can't find anything on it online? Anyone going or have any other info as to how good it might be?

I love my G19, however the one point that always makes me nervous is the fact that there is no real safety other than keeping your finger off the trigger. When out of state and I CC, I usually don't chamber a round...until it becomes an emergency that is.

Thanks for the replies everyone. After the barrel size/accuracy statement I am thinking a 15-22 might be in order. Plus, it is always nice to have another gun in the closet...

I have a Bushmaster M4 that I absolutley love to shoot. However, as we all know this can get pretty expensive, pretty quickly. I have seen the conversion drop-in kits but was wondering if there are many people that use them. As much as I like shooting my M4, it is a bit of a pain to clean and the 22 ammo always seems so dirty. Is there anyone out there using one of these kits and what are your experiences? Was also thinking about purchasing a 15-22 and would like to know how they are as far as cleaning.

You should try to cross post on some other forums to get more people/dealer awareness. I just discovered this site a few days ago and really didn't get to this thread until today. However, I have been all over the PAFOA website and never saw anything about it. Hope you had a good turnout as we need more gunshows in NJ.

The Elcan Specter DR was looking good till I saw that the lowest price I could find is $1700...about $800 more than I paid for my M4.

That is what happens when you are just stopping in. I figured I'd just go on a date with this girl and now she is my wife. One kid later and we figured we'd stop in the local shelter to see what dogs they had. Now I have a wife, kids, and a dog. I need to start just stopping in the local shops around here. Good find. I am currently in the market for a tactical myself.

Hey all, Stopped in to the forum after doing a quick search to see what is going on. Been shooting since I was 5, now 33. My grandfather was always a part of the NRA and very active at gunshows and in the collector scene. Since I recently started adding to my little collection and shooting more I thought I would get involved. Looking forward to exchanging info/stories, etc... Russ
