Mister Roberts Cross of Iron Pearl Harbor? WHAAA HAA HAAH HHAAA! I love to hate that movie. That movie sucked in so many ways that I watch it just to see how many historically inaccurate things I can count. Tora Tora Tora was 100 times better.

I have an old 870 in 16 gauge. The serial number is 72251W. Can anyone give me help finding out how old this gun is? I have had it since the late sixties but my great uncle owned it before.

If you have to ask? You're a dork. I watched the Waltons every week.

+1 for letting her pick the gun. I bought a 38sp snubby for my wife and she hates it. She likes the GP100 with a full house load. She ain't no bigger than a minute. I asked her why she wants to carry a hand cannon like the .357. "I only want to have to shoot'em once." was all she said...........

I will take a Ruger GP100 over ANY autoloader on the market. The GP100 will shoot the hottest .357 rounds all day long, until your hand hurts. I'm talking 625 foot pounds at the muzzle. The .357 magnum 125 grain semi-jacketed hollow point is the KING of one shot stops. You don't have to worry about failure to feed, failure to extract, magazine springs, recoil springs, lubrication, bad ammo or spent shell casings pinging all over the place and littering the crime scene. Plus you can shoot 38 special and 38 special +, for those lite days. If I could only have one handgun it would be, without a doubt, a Ruger GP100 .357. The Ruger is tough and accurate.

I was shooting at a 12" X 12" piece of lexan once with my Ruger Mark I to see if it was really bullet proof. The round struck the lexan, bounced back and hit me in the nuts. It did not penetrate my one layer of denim.

Yeah, those Kimbers are nice and shinny and fancy all right, but I'm just a blue collar worker and I can't drop $1300 on a gun like that. These guys are good friends and all, but I do like out shootin'em. I would like to show those guys that money won't make you a better shot. I wanna go retro on'em. I want to go old school! What is a good revolver that I could buy that will out shoot those dang Kimbers? Maybe a good old Smith and Wesson model 27 or something. Any of you crafty old wheel gunners got any ideas?

It was in my vest pocket loaded with 5 rounds of 38 sp. Federal ammo. What are the odds that these rounds will still fire after being washed in the washing machine? They do smell springtime fresh! I'm taking them to the range next week. I'm thinking that all 5 rounds will fire as directed. I will post to let ya'll know.

You have a Garand! I have always wanted to shoot a Garand. The rifle that won WWII and saved the world from Nazi tyranny and Japanese expansionism. Do you have a bayonet with that?

Chamber load with #1 buck shot. .357 mag loaded by the bed. Home Defense Plan: Make my bedroom a fortress. Let the bad guy come to me. Let the LEOs clear my house when they get here. The minimum number of TRAINED people required to "clear" a house is two (according to US ARMY doctrine). One guy cannot clear a house safely. He will just get killed by the intruders. Two guys clearing a house is still very dangerous. In a situation like having an intruder in your house, the man who is moving is going to get shoot by the man who is in a defensive "ambush" position. Unless you have loved ones to protect, don't leave the fortress.

Trap are easy to clean but I can't say much for the taste.

Tennessee is a wonderful place. I sure miss it. California? What's the deal with a 10 shot limit on magazine capacity? I will never understand that. Just like New Jersey outlawing hollow point bullets. It don't make sense at all.

I have to agree with the minister of bacon. A 22 magnum was made for varmit shootin'. BUT if a 22 is all you got then by all means.....Coyotes are hard to get in your sights. Them's is wily critters.

I have read about them experimenting with flechets in Viet Nam. They came to the conclusion that they were less effective than the round shot loads they were using. I used to load cat's eye glass marbles into 16 gauges shells when I was a kid. Now THAT was cool. They would go through 3/4 inch plywood and shatter.

A 1911? That's original. That makes how many companies making a 1911? I have a 1911 with a horsey on it. But seriously. What does Remington have to make their 1911 better? I would rather see Colt start making revolvers again, but I can't imagine what they would ask for one. Being they want 1200 bucks for their cowboy gun. I bet a new Python would go for $2000.

Robert E. Lee was asked after the war which general north or south was, in his opinion, the best. Mars Lee said, "It is a man I have never met. His name is Forest." The yankees called him the devil. Sherman, the pyromaniac, said he wanted Forest dead if it took 10,000 men and broke the federal bank. Forest once consoled General Stephen Lee after he got his ass kicked. "Don't feel bad general, if I had me a West Point education, the yankees would be whoppin' me all the time." With out a doubt, the best cavalry commander to ever ride a horse. Erwin Rommel and George Patton both studied Forest.........

Thanks for posting. Thanks for volunteering! I have never heard any grunts say good things about the SAWs rifle. I never know what to say to a soldier going in harms way while I'm sitting on my ass at home. Everything I can think to say sounds corny and insincere.

587 foot pounds at the muzzle according to Glasser. That'll stop zombies AND vampires.

I must confess. I bought some Glasser Silver Dots when I first got in to shooting. They fired fine through my 9mm and my revolver and I understand they work pretty well. Right now they are in my gun safe where they will stay, to remind me of my folly. I guess if Zombies attack my house and I run out of ammo, they will be my last resort. Not to say anything bad about the round or Glasser, but for the reasons posted above I will stick with my standard ammo.

I'm new to this forum and haven't had my concealed carry permit very long so I don't know much about how best to CC. I don't carry my glock in my pocket but the question was posted on another forum. I have a holster that can go inside my pants or on my belt. I will tell ya'll that I'm thick skinned and I don't mind constructive criticism. I'm just learning about handguns and concealed carry. I grew up in the country and never had a use for hand guns. Now that I live in the megalopolis of Raleigh, there ain't nowhere to shoot but pistol ranges. I'm having fun with shootin handguns now and I ain't a bad shot. I sure miss Tennessee..........

I am a firm believer in making my bedroom a fortress and letting the bad guy come to me and my 870. In house fighting, the man who is moving is going to get shot by the man who is in a good defensive position, 9 times out of 10. "Clearing" the downstairs is going to get you killed. What downstairs is worth dying for? Housing clearing, room to room, is an offensive military tactic. It looks really good in practice but it will get you killed in the real world. Another thing to remember in defending your home and family. Sheet rock is concealment not cover. A .357 magnum will go through several walls, a 30.06 will go through your house. You can use this to your advantage.

I have heard that if you keep your pocket Glock in your pocket without a holster, that it could somehow discharge the weapon. It sounds plausible BUT, I have unloaded my Glock 36 and tried every way I can think of and I can't get it to go "click" in my pocket. I'm still working on tangling my keys inside the trigger guard and seeing if it will click when I take it out.

does it have the crasamthaman (It's the flower they stamp the rifle with) on it?
