Re: would anyone ever carry a desert eagle?

It's not about the round being too much to handle, it's about the size of the gun being too much to handle. While I can shoot it it's not very comfortable which doesn't make it very enjoyable to...

Re: If you had 4 choices and only 4 which one would you choose?

The plague of the 21st century forums has struck yet again. Posters not reading past that first post and not realizing that the OP has already made his choice and purchased his firearm.

Re: gun jams

It could be the ammo(just because it doesn't jam up your gun doesn't mean the same ammo won't jam up his gun), some guns just don't like certain ammo. My dad had a pistol that wouldn't feed Hornady...

Re: i did it again

I feel the same way about my .41mag. It was a gun my grandfather gave to me because he saw how much I liked it and literally never shot it once. So I go to Cabela's the other day to buy ammo for it...

Re: USA AMMO

Seems a little pricey for reman ammo. Is there something special about it? You can get brand new brass ammo for cheaper than their reman stuff.
