    9mm for large hands?

    ....Ray, I have the SR9, PPS and 92FS. All are excellent handguns and very reliable. I suppose I'd go for the 92 if forced to make a selection out the door. The PPS might not provide the room he needs in the trigger guard, however. The Ruger is slightly lighter than the 92 and has a two round...

    ...thx for the chuckle, Rich...good way to begin a new day... Both Rich's and other members who can identify with the issue...here's a synopsis of a few things that seem to materialize after we hit a certain (you choose) age benchmark: 1962: Long hair 2012: Longing for hair 1962: KEG 2012...

    Ted Nugent vs Piers Mogan

    …yep, Nugent interviewed in fine style. Unfortunately, Ted is rogue, obnoxious, self-destructive, lacks basic social skills, quasi-violent at times, defiant, a bully, rebellious, callous, authoritarian…well, you get the message. I suppose those attributes are why I like the guy ;). Tarheel...

    The REAL threat..

    ...firmly believe that in wine there is truth, in beer there is strength, in hard liquor there is enlightenment...in water there is bacteria, lead and other assorted crap that will eventually kill you. Be safe...trust me, Tarheel

    Super Bowl

    ...I watched it way into the third quarter...then ZZZZZZZZZZZ. My 11 y/0 grandson played in a YMCA basketball game Saturday that was more exciting. My spouse liked the half-time show. I enjoyed the commercials and especially the occasional fights...broke the monotony. I'm with mukwah, the power...

    Try this at your local JC Penny!

    ...agree 100%, Denny. Open carry may be legal in some states, but pointing a gun at a bystander, intentionally or otherwise, is not within the scope of permissible law unless SD is involved, IMHO. Granted the muzzle is pointed down slightly, but I don’t care for being shot in the leg either...

    AR porn

    ...interesting link, Vert, thx. However, I don't transport my M&P 15x that often in a manner that requires a low-profile case. I'd probably have to reinvent the wheel to assort all those parts into the case and then get them back together again... it would probably end up as a morphed AK47. I am...

    5 hurt in shootings at gun shows in Ohio, Ind., NC

    ...they do, Trig. The guy was at the inspection and cable tie station located at the entrance to the building. He had the shotgun in a case. The gun discharged when he removed it from the case for the officer to inspect it. Thank goodness the wounds were minor, as the entrance was quite crowded...

    Try this at your local JC Penny!

    ...try a straight link to YouTube: Utah man displaying AR-15 in J.C Penney Funny....but probably not too smart. Skip's link worked for me, but it's Yahoo News and that may not be too friendly to some devices. Tarheel
