    What was your first handgun?

    My first handgun I bought on my own was a Beretta .25 ACP in the late 80's. I still have it and it's got plenty of miles on it. It spent a couple years in my briefcase when I worked in a not so good part of town. It's lived in my pocket off and on for many years. My dad even carried it in...

    That is a nice looking Taurus, I must say I like it.

    What are you planning on acquiring in the next 12 months?

    High on my list for the next year is a new safe. Followed by more ammo and a few more guns.

    Chinese Type 56 SKS

    I will clean it a little and oil it plenty. I plan to leave it with the well worn look. It's had a long life and has a story to tell, I don't want to remove its history. I did some cleaning on the stock with Hoppes to remove the grease it was packed in. But I will give it lemon oil after...

    Chinese Type 56 SKS

    I thought I would show everyone my new toy. I recently purchased a very used Chinese type 56 SKS from J&G. This is one of the recent imports of pre-vietnam era SKS rifles. With my C&R they shipped it to my door, how cool is that. When I opened it up, it was packed with grease and pretty...

    I have suffered a set back on my new rifle purchase.

    You could have a lot worse problems than a new-to-you Saiga shotgun. Congratulations on your latest purchase, shes a beauty.

    The most effective hardware for home defense

    I think the 12 gauge definitely has its place in home defense, I have one tucked away where I can get to it without too much trouble. But for that bump in the night, it's a Sig 9 mm for me. I have a pit bull mix that I hope is my early warning system but he's one of the friendliest dogs I have...

    Gently used Springfield XD .45 ACP

    Thanks for the comments. I really could not pass up that price. I figured if I was outbid then it was not meant to be. This weekend I will be going back to the store to use their range and try out my new toy. And now I get to start actively collecting .45 brass. I like to be able to reload...

    Gently used Springfield XD .45 ACP

    About a week ago I noticed a used XD at a local gun store. It was almost in mint condition. I am not sure if it was a trade in or a rental from their range. Either way, the asking price was $465. When I got home I looked up their Gunbroker webpage and seen the very same XD listed with a...

    Fast and Loud

    I have never watched this series but it looks pretty interesting. I am going to see if I can stream it from Netflix or Hulu or somewhere. No pay-TV at my house.

    GI can opener

    Like Redden68, I see them at gun shows all the time but I have never seen them in the package. Those may be the original GI openers.

    Paint brush anyone?

    I finally got around to trying this. Why didn't I try this before? It's so easy!

    Ammunition storage questions

    I also use the 50 cal ammo cans. A local gun shop usually has a stack of them for $9 and usually a few of them still have the original lettering. I have one of the plastic dry-boxes from Cabelas that came free with some ammunition. It works pretty good, but doesn't really hold any more than a...

    World War II veteran still has what it takes.

    Good shooting by the old vet. He gives a couple years of his life defending his country and survives WWII doing so, he deserves a little bit more respect than 3 scum bags breaking into his house to steal his belongings. At least there is 1 less punk to be breaking into houses.
