I am a beginner hunter (familiar with handguns, but not rifles) and don't want to spend a lot of money until I'm sure this is something I want to do long-term. I know I'm going to have to spend at least $200 on a decent scope, so would like to hear opinions as to why you recommend each rifle. Links would be greatly appreciated as well.

I know I want synthetic. Stainless or black barrel, doesn't really matter, but like the look of stainless. My friends have told me that 270 is a good all around rifle for deer, hogs, and just about anything else I will probably cross in the areas I'll be hunting, but am not opposed to other calibers either as long as they are not smaller than 270.

I appreciate your help.


So just over a day ago, or more accurately around 30 or so hours ago I shot a real rifle and a real handgun for the first time in my life. Besides one time with a 22 rifle and one time with a 12 gauge rifle I have never shot guns before. I don't know what the exact type of guns I shot were but I will give as much information as I can. The rifle was a semi-automatic ex military rifle with a non-wooden stock... and the handgun was a 9mm if im not mistaken. First off I WAS OUTSIDE, but had no ear protection (I know it was dumb i didn't know better). I think I shot around 2 or 3 clips from the rifle, roughly 25 shots... maybe less; and about 3 clips so around 20-30 shots from the handgun.
After I was done my left ear was almost deaf, and my right also very hard to hear out of. Everything that I heard sounded twangy almost like metal (if i snapped it sounded like my fingers where metal...) Within a couple of hours my right ear was getting back to normal, and no more ringing. But now, 30 hours after, my left ear has gotten much better, still a small bit of ringing, but I still can't hear out of it to well. Everything just sounds dampened somewhat. Keep in mind it has gone from not being able to hear much at all to just a dampened sound... but I'm really scared that my hearing might not come back. I'm joining the NAVY and within around another 1 week or 2 I have to have a hearing test done, AND have normal hearing. So do you think it will come back after a couple more days... or did my first time really shooting guns give me permanent hearing loss? Right now it feels and I hear as if there was some water in my ear in a way. And please if you repond to this give me a way to help maybe make it heal better, or a method to aid in some way, instead of saying nah your screwed please lol.

I recently came across a small German handgun that is very unique. Instead of loading rounds horizontally to be fired forward through the barrel, the rounds are loaded vertically, to be fired out of a hole in the top of the slide. This would allow the user to fire the weapon at a target in front of them while seemingly pointing it down at the ground. If anyone knows what this weapon is I would appreciate any help.


I was told at my local gun range that "small frame" hand guns are not allowed. This apparently included my Kel-Tec 9mm. Sig Sauer .380 ACP and Bernardelli .22 LR. I can accurately hit a target with all of them from 25 yards away. I thought small frame meant guns like the derringer.


Hi, I have the Kahr MK9. It has the 3 dot sight. Within 7 Yards, I hit bullseye everytime. (very accurate) From ~12 yards out and further, however, my shots are always at least 12 inches too low...Even if I hold the front (middle dot) higher then the other 2 dots (rear). Why are my hits lower at longer ranges? I could aim 12 inches higher at longer ranges but that doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. BTW The pistol is on the small side, i don't get a sold grip with my pinky.
Also, I hold the gun very tight, pushing forward with my right hand and pulling back with left hand. thanks if you can offer any advice to improve my shooting!!!!!
hi, I'm not jerking the trigger..i slowly... slowly pull it back until it fires.. is that the right way?


I've been wanting to be a sniper since I was little, but I've only gotten around to firing a firearm when I was 18, and even then it was in small amounts. (Mostly because it was pistols and handguns, I prefer rifles. And I have the nuisance of being right handed while left eye dominant). Though I'm working on getting practice in my own time, I am wondering if the military does a kind of training course for beginning shooters.


I'm looking for a new handgun. I currently own a Springfield Armory XD-40 Subcompact. I will be using this new firearm for home/self defense as well as target shooting at the range. I'm not really looking to break the bank, my girlfriend is giving me 300 dollars plus what ever I want to add..The nearby FFL charges about 55 dollars to have it shipped to them. Trying to stay away from revolvers and small cal. guns like a .22..Any suggestions?

Example: Someone who wants to take handguns away from all citizens because a small percentage of the population uses handguns to commit violent crimes.


a�?Oh this is too easy.a�� Zeke thought as he walked half a block behind the man. His eyes kept the man in view and as they walked into a darker less up kept area, Zeke increased his pace, smelling the air. He could already smell the humans blood. He neared the man and then the drunk stopped suddenly. Zeke did not stop but slowed down. The man suddenly ran into an alley and Zeke heard the signs on vomiting. Zeke cringed. He hated killing guys like these and preferred the women, but there had been no single women in the bar and this guy would thank him. He neared the alley and looked in. There was almost no light, but darkness was his home and he could see perfectly. The man was hunched behind some garbage cans and Zeke walked in to make his kill.
Suddenly the drunk man whipped around. A small black object in his hand leveled on Zeke, and a early audible whizzing noise came and a pain shot through Zekea��s abdomen. a�?Hea��s got gun!a�� Zeke thought, jumping back and evading another bullet. He slipped out of the alley and leaned against the wall. He looked at the injury nd felt it burning and saw it had no healed yet. a�?Silver,a�� he thought, a�?hea��s using silver bullets!a�� Silver was like poison to vampire and was one of a few things that stalled their healing.
a�?You have had your last meal of humans, abomination!a�? the mana��s voice echoed from the alley.
a�?An order solder?a�� Zeke thought, a�?hea��s still only humana�� he narrowed his eyes angry that this human had the gall to attack him. Zeke planned his attack and flipped around the corner
a�?Now, J!a�? the order solder yelled, firing a shot that hit the wall next to Zeke. Suddenly a shape leaped from the above building. Zeke dodged another bullet and the falling enemy. He jumped out of the alley and out of the soldiera��s firing range.
The shape rose from the ground. It resembled a wolf, if wolves grew to almost the size of car and had forelegs that bent like a humana��s. Ita��s enormous head was framed with a large grey mane and spotted with bright, almost glowing, yellow eyes. Ita��s fangs were bared in a vicious growl and it was crouched low like a cat ready to leap.
a�?A werewolf too? Great.a�� He thought. The beast glared at him and Zeke knew there was one way out of this. The wolf leaped at him, his large claws stretched out to shred Zekea��s head in ita��s grasp. Zeke slipped forward and threw a solid strike with his palm to the monsters open chest. There was a slight crunch and it flew back, tumbling. The human exited the alley and turned to Zeke, raising the black handgun, complete with a silencer tube on the barrel.
Zeke, while angry, still needed the blood this solder had. As the man leveled his gun, Zekea��s left hand shot out, and a bolt of blue electricity fired from it, colliding with the soldera��s gun. He shook for a moment and collapsed to the ground. Zeke could still hear his heart and turned his focus back to the werewolf, who was rising to its feet. a�?Go home, puppy.a�? Zeke said coldly. Sparks of bright blue cracked from his body. a�?Your out of your league.a�?
The wolf growled and began a slow walk into the street, as if trying to circle his prey. Then it leaped and slashed at Zeke again. Zeke held his ground, blocking the attack, he grabbed the wolfa��s head and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground to crack under the immense pressure. In a flashy movement, he drew a foot long silver blade from the back of his belt. He raised the weapon overhead and brought it down the beasts back ita��s left side.
The wolf howled in pain and struggled to free itself, but Zeke held it fast and it could not escape. Ita��s thrashings quickly stopped and it was still. Then, the hair of the monster faded, its wolf face retracted to reveal a man in his thirties, and the body slowly phased back to a human, wearing nothing but blood.
He turned back to the human he had left. The man had risen up and retrieved his gun. Zeke faked to the left and tried to approach on the mana��s left but a bullet hit him and caused him to stop. a�?Hea��s too fast for a human.a�� He thought. Then it clicked. a�?Youa��re a craft user arena��t you?a�? He said.
a�?yepa�? the man replied, his gun trained on Zeke. a�?I can read your pathetic mind and know every move your gonna make.a�? He finished with a grin. a�?want to just give up?a�? he pulled a long silver knife from his coat and kept the gun level.
Zeke pondered for a moment. He could leap the wall and take him down, a few bullets would heal in time, even silver ones. The stake would hurt if he connected, and he woulda��nt. But a new plan was born in the deep reaches of his mind. a�?you read minds, coorect?a�? Zeke asked, grinning so his fangs showed.
a�?What of it?a�? The man asked, his face focused.
Zeke chuckled. a�?Then I invite you into my mind.a�? He spread out his arms and delved into his deepest memories. Images of bodies piled high, machine guns tearing men in half. Cannons destroy the land as arms and legs lay strewn about like straw. The mana��s face began to pale and he began to


Woo hoo..anyhow, I need to go get a nice handgun to carry. I have a 9mm Ruger right now that is way to big to conceal...Need ideas from people..I am thinking a nice small .45. New or used? Model? Thanks

I currently have a Walther P22. I love the gun's comfort and very small size which makes it very easy to conceal and very comfortable to shoot. This gun fits without a holster comfortably in my waste line on my side. I read several reviews and found that most people either love it or hate it. I'm kind of in between. It does like to jam if you do not keep the gun oiled frequently. I'm looking for something with a higher caliber with good reliability and around the same size as the P22. I do not particularly like Glock because I hate not having a hammer. So if anyone has any suggestions on a similar higher caliber but yet very small pistol with a hammer please let me know. I just need the same or similar dimensions and also light weight. Thanks.


When I was 15 someone shot me in the center of my forehead with a pellet gun and ever since I've had this small dot, like a dent, where the pellet struck. I'm 23 now and it's always been sort of sensitive in that area and I'm starting to wonder if the pellet did more damage than I thought. I've been looking into the symptoms for damage to the frontal lobe and I realise I match them quite well, and can also trace many of them surfacing back to that day (if you don't know the signs please don't ask what they are). I just always assumed they fell over me at that time because I was depressed about being shot in the head (bullied) but they've never gone away. Anyone think there's any possibility?

Can't say exactly what brand it was but it was a handgun type ... couldn't say how strong it was but when he shot me in the ankle with it before hand it nearly caused my leg to buckle.
Oh I should add it happened by surprise ... he held the gun up and feinted like he was going to shoot me, then when I relaxed he pressed it up, about an inch away and fired.


Spotted Hyena vs. Chimpanzee

Spotted hyenas have very powerful jaws that can exert pressure as much as 1000PSI and females can weigh up to 190 pounds. Rogue hyenas have been known to take down prey as large as wildebeest. Hyenas have always been looked upon as pathetic scavengers, but really,, hyenas are powerful hunters; hunting taking up 80% of their diet, while the other 20% is from foraging for small animals and scavenging. Lone hyenas have been known to steal kills from leopards. Scientists have recently been looking into hyena intelligence and have found out that they have higher intelligence than other animals in the order Carnivora, including big cats and canines.

Stats:

Length: 3-5.5 feet
Weight: 90-180lbs
Armaments: Powerful, bone-crushing jaws that can exert over 1000PSI, fairly intelligent, strong neck muscles, which can be durable when a lion or another animal attacks that area of the hyena.


Chimpanzees have strength that is of 4-6xs the average human male. Chimpanzees have been known to go into groups and kill leopards. They have been known to hunt with weapons, like spears and stones. They may go in groups have been known to take down antelopes and other primates, for their own nutritional sources. Chimpanzees can also learn how to use a basic handgun, like a magnum or a pistol. Combine that intelligence with their brutal strength, and you have a primate almost as deadly as a gorilla.

Stats:

Height: 4-5.6 feet
Weight: 80-170lbs
Armaments: Powerful, upper-body strength, 4-6xs stronger than an average human male, can be extremely aggressive, very dexterous, and very, very intelligent.


I'm looking to buy my first handgun. I had my mind set on the SR9 Rugar, although after talking to many people about this gun they all said go with Glock 17 or 19. I want a 9mm striker pistol. Not super cheap but not a $1,000 either. I am a girl so I want something on the small side. I was looking at a .45 Glock but it was WAY to big. Any suggestions? Anyone own the SR9 Rugar? I will be using it for home defense but also to take to the range alot. And something that will last awhile. PLEASE HELP!! :)

I'm trying to gather up an emergency kit and trying to find out what other people have or what they suggest.

At the timea�� Here is what I have

A small safe with a few hundred bucks (of course with my important papers). Full-sized handgun with plenty of ammo. Flashlights and batteries, candles etc.. Water, emergency (crank) radio and some odds and ends like bandages etc..

This seems completely lacking.

What would be the ideal things to keep stored away?


Im in 9th grade and I have to write ANYTHING about anything, Here it is. This is the first part.

Chapter 1: General Doctor

Today in the small clinic of Cottonwood, New York, Dr. Freemore had noticed something odd. He woke up at 5:45 AM and ate breakfast as usual. He dressed up for work as a General Doctor and drove to work in the chilly day of fall. He was 34 years old and had practiced to be an Infectious Disease Specialist (IDS). An IDS would review a patienta��s medical records, including X-rays, laboratory reports, etc. He would check if his patienta��s had any type of disease including bacteria, virus, fungi, and parasites. But he wanted something simpler and that would make his life less complex and became a General Doctor. He still wasna��t been married. He had no TV and a laptop, which he used for his work and nothing more. A big event could happen and he would be unaware of it. Matthewa��s life was very simple and relaxing until today.
During the last 3 months, 5 of his patients had experienced similar but odd symptoms, including nausea, fatigue, and most unusual of all, weakened muscle tissue. One of them passed away, his name was Oscar. Oscar was already 57 and weak, but still in good shape. He often traveled around the world to see the most exotic places. His death had been unexpected and family members had asked why. Dr. Freemore, also known as Matthew responded by saying that it was a bacteria that he caught when he traveled to Africa that attacked his organs. He knew that it was a lie but he might have become a suspect in his unexpected death, especially if Oscara��s family had known about Freemorea��s past records.
Matthew began to worry if this new disease would murder his other patients. He went home to relax and thought and even though he tried not to think about it, he did. 3 days went on and another of his 5 patients already died. This time it was a young female, about the age of 27. Her name was Jessica. She was slim and was originally from France. This time, Freemore knew that her family would get skeptical and eventually tell the cops. He found out when one his co-workers had told him. He grabbed a weeka��s worth of provisions; a couple of old clothes and ran away as soon as he heard sirens of the police in front of his small, isolated house.
He escaped through his rear door, in silence and disappeared into the midnight darkness. He did not know the streets well as he always drove to his job and never really went outside except to shop for food. As he walked he began to question where he could go. He didna��t really have a a�?reala�? companion in the last couple of years. Matthew just though and though as he kept walking to the middle of nowhere until he wasa�� nowhere. He turned around and maybe he could he could retrace his steps. No luck. He was in the middle of a parking lot, the size for a shopping center. The only thing making him see was a dim light near him from a lamppost that kept blinking. Matthew began to get anxious and took a pill from his briefcase. His black suit made him somewhat concealed with the darkness, except for his white shirt and his skin that was beginning to get pale.
a�?Hello? Is anybody out there?a�? he loudly stammered. Hoping to get a response, he became even more nervous and checked his cell phone. No signal. He moved on and maybe, just maybe somebody would be waiting for him. He wanted somebody to be close to him and regretted running away from the cops. And thata��s when he first heard the footsteps. It was a few feet in front of him. Possibly someone or something heard him when he yelled for help. No, it couldna��t have been something. Matthew was smart enough not to believe in any of this stuff.
Of course, he had prepared when he left the house, so he bought a handgun. It was a Browning Hi-Power, (which looked like an average handgun) but he did not exactly how to shoot it. He unlocked the safety and tried pointing forward as professional as possible.
a�?Who is that?a�? he said is a smooth loud calm voice. As the footsteps got closer, the dim light showed the footsteps was a human figure. He wanted to yell but what if it was someone who wanted to hurt him? His sweat began to touch his shaved beard and his hands began to sway.
a�?Ahhhhhh!!!a�?
He ran as fast as possible and shot his gun backward toward the a�?humana�? as he was yelling in fear. He couldna��t possibly shoot a human but he didna��t want to get hurt. His veins were pumping with adrenaline and he did not bother to think for one second. He was panting and was running really fast. He ended up in a glass door....


i was crossing my street and i had a handgun (a small one and i have a permit ) in my hand when i was hit by i car ( im ok) but i flew into the air a great amount and as i did the gun fired and shot and killed the driver and im due for court what could i be sentenced for if anything ( i know this sounds crazy but it happened im very stressed out please don't upset me)


Hi,

I am an avid hunter in AZ, I already have a 30-06 and 2 shotguns plus a bunch of handguns. I want to add another rifle to my collection, I usually use my 30-06 for deer but I want to hunt coyote, javelina, other predators and possibly more. I am looking for a gun that is light and can be used to take all of these animals, it needs to be smaller than a 30-06 though.

These are the ones I've been looking at.

Marlin 30-30
Marlin .444
.243 of some sort
45-70

Please keep in mind I want a simple and light weight gun.

Thanks

HEY MAKE JOKES ITS OKAY I REALLY HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR AFTER I JUST MURDERED SOMEONE THANKS


it will also be my first gun.


I am a first time buyer and want something for self-defense. I done research on pistols ( 9mm, .40cal, .45cal, and the .380). I have also considered getting a revolver ( .38sp, .357mag,) I want power but also accuracy. I am not a small person I am 6'4 220 llbs but still I dont kno much about the recoil on all of these handguns. I also need something not to pricey and something that can be found in an Academy or Sports Authority.


I know very little about guns, but would like to purchase a small handgun. I will be using it for occasional target shooting at a range and also (hopefully never actually needed for) protection, to be kept in my house.
I will NOT be using this for hunting. This was the closest category.


I will be a small arms/artillery repairman in the Army. I want to carry a handgun in my civilian life also. Self defense.


I don't really know much about guns so please, try and make it as simple as possible for my small mind.


I want to take a small handgun to a local shooting range to practice before i join the police academy. I want to know if I can legally transport a handgun in my vehicle at age 20 in the state of OHIO and BUTLER COUNTY. Please Help me with this


I'm not sure what to get for a dependable and easy to conceal handgun Conceal Carry. Right now I own three hand guns, I have a Ruger GP100 357 magnum revolver (way too big for CCW), A Ruger P89DC 9mm (too fat for CCW), and then a little Hi-Point C9 which is a smaller gun lengthwise, but it's actually fatter than my P89DC!
I like the look of the Bersa Thunder, but have never shot one. Is this a good reliable pistol, or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanx!


I want to take my small 9mm that my father gave me to a target range and practice before joining the police academy. I am slightly under 21. Im 20. I was wondering is there ANY legal way to transport a handgun under 21. Everything ive found online is for buying a gun. I already have one that stays at my dads house... HELP???


I would like a smaller handgun, however a Ruger LCP .380 may be too small.

Thank you in advance for you advice.


I AM 22 YEARS OLD, CLEAN RECORD, EVERYTHINGS FINE... BUT I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA! I AM ON THE TENNESSEE BORDER... NC SIDE OFCOURSE, THE NEAREST TN GUNSHOP IS 2 MILES FROM MY HOME... THE NEAREST NC IS 50+ MILES! I ALSO DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE ALL THAT WAY, WAIT FIVE DAYS AND DRIVE BACK TO GET THE NC PURCHASE PERMIT AS WELL. IF I WALK IN THE TN GUNSHOP WITH NC ID AND NC ADDRESS WILL THEY SELL ME A PISTOL AS LONG AS I PASS WITH THE BACKGROUND CHECK? THIS IS IMPORTANT I HAVE 15 ACRES AND NEED SOMETHING SMALL TO CARRY WHILE FARMIN, HIKING, ETC. ALREADY ENCOUNTERED SNAKES SEVERAL TIMES!


It stands to reason that people with smaller hands would prefer handguns with a smaller grip or that wouldn't be too large to hold comfortably, and again with people with larger hands preferring one that matches their grip. I have only a very, very minor knowledge of guns and know virtually nothing about the brands and types, but am attempting to research them for a story I'm writing. Any help on this, with resources I can look into or just a short description, would be really helpful.

Will I be able to transport this firearm in my checked bag and if it is allowed, will there be problems when I arrive and go through customs in Athens?
The handgun is a very small calibre type of derringer that looks almost like a toy pistol. It even has a pink pearl handle.
By the way, I'm doing research for a novel that I'm writing. Trust me, if I were trying to plot/plan an assassination, I certainly wouldn't leave a trail here on Yahoo! Answers for everyone in the world to follow, LOL
dvatwork, YOU ROCK!


I want to get a job as a Medical Transcriptionist, but before I pay for the training I want to make sure that my hearing is good enough.

I often have trouble hearing what people are saying or following conversations when there is background noise (like in a restaurant). Is that normal?

Also, a few months ago I went target practicing (with a small handgun) and didn't wear earplugs. I couldn't hear out of one ear for a while, and it took a few days to return to normal. Could this have caused any permanent hearing loss?


I recently bought a small handgun and have been practicing my shot for a few months now. I met up with some NRA guys to go for a round at the gun range and I swear my 90 year old granny is more accurate than some of these guys. I mean, these guys were your typical right wing 2nd Amendment guys and some (not all) could not handle a gun for their lives. It was actually embarrassing to watch!

I think some people just play into that gun-loving stereotype just to fit in. Not all black people can play ball. Not all white conservatives can shoot a gun. It made me sick to see what posers some of these guys were.


i am looking for a handgun to buy for hunting small game.
i would get the 10mm glock 20 but 10mm ammo is just to hard to find. Ill probably be shooting a lot of rabbits. i have never shot a pistol before, so i want a good beginner gun. Nothing that kicks to hard like the 45 mag or the 357

so with this given.. im guessing either the .22 pistol or a 9mm. what do you think?

also can either of these 2 pistols take down a mountain lion or a hog. i have some on my property, and would like to have something for self defense if i ever encounter any.
.44 mag. sorry


I am in the midst of figuring out what handgun I would like to purchase. I have applied for my CWP but have no weapon of my own. I'd prefer an semi-auto because most of them are lighter than revolvers and smaller. I wanted a .380 but I cannot find ammo for it. I have my dad's .25--can't find ammo for that. All I can find is 9mm and .38 cal ammo. The man at the gunshop told me that that is all I will probably find because those calibers are the most popular, thus the manufacturers spend the most time making those calibers. Does anybody know how true that is? And does anybody know if .22 longs are easily attainable? I don't want to get a gun and not be able to find ammo....I'd like a baby Glock but that's really over my budget. I just want something small, reliable, and with decent power...


I'm looking for a good "last resort" handgun. I considered a derringer for a while, but I was poking around at .22 rifles and thought it might be a fun project to take a very inexpensive .22 rifle, shorten the barrel, and cut down the stock to a pistol size. I know that shortening a shotgun barrel is illegal, but they make many handguns in .22, and since it's such a small caliber... Is there any way to legally cut down a rifle in such a way?
This isn't a debate on the uses of a .22 caliber firearm. If a .22 COMPLETELY NEEDS 16" to stabilize, then there's an awful lot of useless handguns out there in said caliber. My question is about legality and safety.
Oh, AI, "a bit of growing up?" It was a legitimate question that merited a legitimate answer. There's no need for senseless, rude, obnoxious comments. Who really needs to grow up in this situation?


I live in Huntsville, Texas and I am thinking about buying a hand-gun and learning how to use it. I am first wondering if I can carry it in my car. I would probably buy one of those finger-print Bio Gun Safes to keep gun inside while in car. But I am wondering mostly...

What do I have to do to have a gun legally?

What do I have to do to go to shooting ranges and does anyone recommend one in my area?

Do I have to get a concealed handgun license or permit? And if so, where do I go to get this? Do you have to meet a certian specification for this? I shoot three types of guns every 6 months, work for a prison...

Any help would be appreciated...

Also, does anyone recommend a good Hand-gun for a woman that isn't too large or too small, doesn't kick terribly bad and is low maintenance? What about a Baretta? Don't know much but guessing a 9 millimeter is the size I'm looking for.
DJ's advice is awesome, thank you... but I shoot a revolver for work and am quite comfortable and knowledgeable about it, but still doesn't feel like my kinda gun... kinda want a hand-gun with a clip.


i want a gun mostly for practice.
Not to big & not to small
Also i like the tactical look
I was looking at:
S&W M&P
H&K P2000
Beretta 90two
Beretta PX4 Storm

I know its a personal choice but i was just wondering if one was better then the other, or if there is an even better handgun then i listed.

I prefer 9mm .45 is ok but no dumb shit about .50 desert eagles.
Thanks everone! This is helping alot! Also i just wanted to mention im not new to any guns. I have shot everything from a bb gun to a 30 odd 6.


does ANYONE make a weapon mounted light (L.E.D preferably) that fits under the front rail of a subcompact handgun (HK P2000, similar to xd and usp) that DOES NOT protrude past the front muzzle of the handgun? I find it hard to believe I can't find one, when you can make a keychain with an L.E.D. light, but none of the gun part manufacturers are jumping on this? I know there's tons of expensive and cheap lights, but none are small (that I see) and all of them protrude at least half an inch past the muzzle. Somebody help me here!
dont tell me a light on a pistol is a bad idea. when i hear a noise at night i want to reach for one thing not a gun and a light. if they can make super small lasers then they can make super small led lights. it doesnt have to be super bright. just bright enough to see in a bedroom or living room or basement. even a CANDLE can accomplish this mysterious feat.... so..... an l.e.d. light, using 3 watch batteries, encased within acryllic or similar plastic casing lined with metal subframe, and side switch.... i'm sure it can be done. I'm asking DOES ANYONE MAKE IT? I know some people say, "don't strap it on there" well even officers have these. geez..


I Think that there are some really good polymer framed handguns especially for 9mm or smaller. I think that steel frames are better suited to larger calibers. What do you prefer?


I hear a lot of conservatives caracturize liberals as communist snobby tofu-eating etc etc etc...but what I don't hear many of them do, is specify which beliefs they have that are offensive, with much specificity...so here's a list of common liberal beleifs...please...enlighten me about which of these you find so offensive...

1.- The belief that bombing and killing our fellow man, should only be
reserved for situations of clear and imminent self-defense.

2.- The belief that when these situations occur, lessening the horror of
what is happening by making it into playful lyrics for country songs
is probably an unhealthy thing to embrace.

3.- The belief that in a world where poverty and famine are rampant,
it's mindless to imply that volunteer charity will end these
things, because the fact it's still rampant today, despite capitalism
being the global force of the 20th century, proves it clearly doesn't.

4.- The belief that by the time the free-market without any government
incentive would get around to ending environmental disasters such
as Amazonian clearcutting, oilspills, toxic emmisions, etc, it would
be too late to return the world to a phyrically diverse and sustaining
place.

5.- The belief that two consenting adults wishing to sanctify their love
for each other, has nothing to do with you, and you have no
business imposing your morality or religion into a law that forces
people that are doing nothing to harm you, to abide by your version
of right and wrong.

6.- The belief that anyone who beleives in a book claiming talking
snakes, men trapped in whales, earth being 6,000 year old, people
living to be 300, or invisible space gods battling invisible horned
demons, really has no business lecturing the rest of us on
what is and isn't intelligent beliefs.

7.- The belief that something is wrong with the world when a mixed-
race kid abandon by his dad and raised by a teenage mom and
her midwestern grandparents in a small apartment, is "the elitist
snob", and a 4th generation son of an American political dynasty
rolling in millions of dollars of oil who was handwalked into Harvard
and whose mom, dad, and brother are a first lady, a president, and
a governor, is the "down home regular guy".

8.- The belief that electing a woman 2 years removed from mayoring an Alaskan hamlet and who appears to have a general knowledge field that might lose to the kids on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" as a 71-year old heartbeat from ruler of the free world....PROBABLY isn't a great idea, even if you find the idea of a pin-up president to be
befitting your lifelong worldview of women.

9.- That the Hannity/Limbaugh/Beck/O'Reilly crowd, are so far into that kool-aid that no life-raft made of proveable facts and proveable data,
could change them. They are going to accept information from their
talk-radio-deities with about at much critical thought as Christians put
into the logistics of the Bible's claims, which is why those two groups
overlap quite a bit.

10.- The belief that while rifles and handguns serve legitimate functions for hunters and self-defense, assault weapons serve little function other than to make men with short penises feel more endowed, and to make postal-minded white guys have an easier road to mowing down
their entire office in 20 seconds.


I should not my dear conservatives, I already know there's no truth in anything i said...i just am really excited to hear the wisdom of why that is ;)


i have a c11 and was wondering if it can take out small game like fox, squirrels, rats, etc...


I'm thinking of getting into reloading, but I know absolutely nothing about it. What's so progressive about a "progressive press"? What's a "station"? Stuff like that makes me less confident in going out there and getting started.

I've figured out that you need to tumble the cases clean, punch out the old primer and reshape the case, cut clean the reformed case, and then add a primer, powder, and bullet. I probably am missing half the steps, and I still don't know anything about equipment, brands, or models.

Please recommend an entire list of what I'll need to reload centerfire pistol and rifle rounds, and possibly shotgun too. Specific is good (brands/models), and I'll need the whole thing including bullets, primers, powder, and other medium. Budget is currently anywhere from $300 to $700, but is flexible.

As for laws, it would be good too if I knew about any laws regarding the small scale manufacture of ammunition. CA HSC 12001(f)(1) prohibits having more than 20 pounds of smokeless powder. Nothing in the CA Penal Code as far as I can tell (apart from selling handgun ammunition to minors). Am I missing something still?

Thanks a lot to those of you who reload and keep ammunition demand (and prices) down!


So far, the most popular handgun calibers I've found have been 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.
The 9mm seems to be too small a round, with little to no "knockdown" as it were. Simply, the only good thing I've found about it so far has been its inexpensive and theres far less recoil than other rounds, making it easier to shoot.

The .45 ACP is a huge round, with more than sufficient knockdown power, but its almost too big...

The compromise has been the .40, its got good enough knockdown like the .45 but has the better ballistics, speed and size like a 9mm for shooting.

Really I just want your opinions, those are my current premonitions, but I want to see what everyone else has to say.
