Re: 9mm vs 38acp

If I was looking you in the eye I would have said the same thing. The title of the thread is 38 acp vs 9mm. Anyone that read what each of us quoted would think you are talking about a 38 acp. Just...

Re: good deer knife

I have a Schrade sharp finger that I have had for years. It's a great knife and you won't go wrong buying one.

The knife I am carrying this year is a Cold Steel Canadian Belt Knife. It's very...

Re: 9mm vs 38acp

Errmmm, dude none of those manufacturers make a 38 ACP. So I have to raise the BS flag high. they do make a 38 special. The 38 acp is a frikin dinosaur. I doubt anyone manufacturers ammo for a 38...

Re: Rifle easier to find than .357

I just bought 120 rounds of brown bear 203 gr 7.62x54 ammo for less than .50 a round. Maybe the hole that all the milsurp ammo was in went dry. manufactured ammo sure isn't going up. I ordered a...

Re: 9mm vs 38acp

38 ACP? Come on! Tell us the truth. I could see 38 super because it fills a niche with reloaders but 38 acp?

Re: Open Carry encounter, PA

Most people here are so apathetic it's not funny. The only reason they belong to the NRA is because you have to be a member to take part in most firearms related activities. As I stated earlier...

Re: Open Carry encounter, PA

Here in NC it's legal to open carry but you can go to far and be charged with armed to the terror of the public. OC is legal but at the officers discretion it's not legal. We have a bunch of Jim...

Re: Clays and chokes

The senior national sporting clay champion manages the course I shoot at a lot. I have borrowed his guns and shot with him many times. I have never seen him shoot a full choke at any clay. You mean...

Re: Clays and chokes

Some courses are set up with longer shots than others. I would prefer to shoot every course with #9 shot and an improved cylinder. The beauty of sporting clays is the ammo choke combo that works...

Re: 9mm vs 38acp

If one is having recoil problems with a 38 spl they need another grip or the gun just doesn't fit them. I don't even shoot 38 spl ammo in my 357mag pistols. I have 9mm pistols that fill the same...

Re: Best Gun for Beginner/Female

You are correct, springs are cheap. Some people aren't mechanically inclined or in my case I would rather pay my gunsmith to get the best parts the first time. I don't own a dremel tool and have no...

Re: How Lethal Is A .22 ???

Plenty of armies use the 22 LR for training purposes, including Canada. No, it's not the weapon of choice for combat or self defense. The 5.56 isn't either. When I enlisted I was used to shooting...

Re: Rifle easier to find than .357

Re: Rifle easier to find than .357

I don't think we are going to have another ammo shortage. Retailers love panic buying. In 2008 and 2009 we had 2 wars going on and George Bush gave the military plenty of funding on his way out. ...

Re: You have 5 minutes to load your Go bag , one handgun and two boxes of ammo

Re: Best Gun for Beginner/Female

You are correct about that. Many guns need springs of some fashion. manufacturers are scared of lawsuits. In turn, they install springs that aren't the best for the shooter.

When I buy a new...

Re: Need some help...

I would have a hard time taking an $1,800 shotgun duck hunting. Most guns that go duck hunting a lot end up battle scarred and rough looking.

I am not a lawyer. If you want an explanation I would call a lawyer. All I know is to avoid safety lawsuits.

Re: Perfect Carry gun

Have you had the hammer and trigger springs changed on your 38? Many new guns come with springs that are to stiff. They use the heavy springs due to legal reasons. A new spring kit is a lot less...
