      Kool Aid?

      Looking around the site I see references to Kool Aid and Obama...what is the implication? Is this just a racially ignorant statement, trying to be comical, perhaps hateful? Or do those who make "Kool Aid" statements like a sweet drink from time to time? If you don't like the man's policies...

      Pics of my Working Knives, feel free to add yours.

      Here is a pic of some of my knives...I don't buy top end folders anymore since I would be afraid to carry a $120.00 Benchmade and possibly lose it. My regular carry blade is a Kershaw Blackout (I got this one for 60 bucks and I wouldn't be heart-broken if I lost it)...but the others have their...

      What's up with the rebel flags?

      I have seen rebel flags used for avatars and in pics that are posted at various places within this site. Help me out with this...does this mean we have a bunch of "rebels" against the norms of society in general, or racists? As we know this flag is a powerful symbol with significant historical...

      Place to shoot close to Bloomington?

      Well I just picked up a new Ruger 9mm/P95 and want to start breaking it in. Would anyone be able to accompany me to a known place to shoot sort of close by? I'm thinking we could try to do this next weekend? The wife is studying for law school finals so this weekend is out since I have the baby...

      Chamber empty? If you train, its a non-issue

      I have seen quite a few posts with folks seemingly upset or holding disdain for those who do not carry their handgun with a round in the chamber. To me this problem is all a matter of proper training. We practice to hone our skills with sight alignment and trigger control and do well with this...

      WTS 2 like new KelTec 3AT blued mags.

      I was going through my old gear and found 2 homeless KelTec 3AT (.380) mags I'd like to sell since I don't own a 3AT anymore. Both mags have a 6 round capacity. The cheapest I've seen these on the net was $16 plus shipping, so 2 would be $32 plus shipping cost, around $40...I'll sell both for...

      Stopping power?

      There has been a great deal of disagreement over what exactly stopping power is. Will big and slow work better than smaller and faster? How about the work compiled by Marshall and Sanow? Of course shot placement will always be a significant factor as will the dress and constitution of the...

      Accidental Discharges How many of us have had an Accidental Discharge? I think we would also need to speak of semantics...Accidental..or Neglectful? Mine was at the range with my first handgun, a Taurus 669 .357. I had it loaded up with Hydrashoks, and though I was a newbie, I had already...

      Ruger LCR

      The new Ruger LCR is a +P rated .38 cal revolver which sports a polymer frame and judicious use of steel to keep the weight at about 13.5 ounces empty. The Ruger features a double action only mechanism with a an enclosed hammer. Does anyone own one of these light revolvers or has fired one? I'm...

      Joining just to sell guns Part II

      Well, you probably have a point. I get tired of reading pointless posts, that's all. I was in a pretty bad mood after work yesterday evening and I know it's not really a good excuse, but my frame of mind did influence the candor of my posts. When I see about six different posts from the same...

      Concealed?

      Would a folding knife be considered concealed if it was affixed to your pants pocket using the clip? I'm thinking blade length might be relevant and also if the blade is covered by a shirt of course. I have read articles about police citing people with knives that were partially serrated since...

      Shooting Skeet Ammo

      What would be the best ammo for shooting skeet? Also, do many of you have a good deal of experience shooting skeet with a pump action shotgun? It seems pretty challenging, especially to a shotgun newbie like me.

      Name your poison

      So what type of ammo do you trust in your pistol for self defense? I personally would carry ball ammo since with the 9mm it would produce good penetration with a fully clothed person.

      Blade material?

      What do you guys think of all the fancy new blade materials the knife companies present to the buying public? It seems that there is a new flavor every month..like FT-130VG, or 456A-dd8...it is almost amusing (those were made up by the way). Is there really that much of a difference between...

      Military using ball ammo?

      The military uses ball ammo and I know that its inexpensive to produce, provides the best reliability, but I just don't get why they wouldn't use a more effective hollowpoint? Is it true that they want the ammo to be less effective? Easier for surgeons ot repair? I wonder how many people get...

      What would do you think 1911

      Can I get a quality 1911 style .45 for $400? I was looking at a used stainless springfield...sort of dinged up though. Any input would be appreciated.

      I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

      Here are some of my carry/work knives. I really like the Kershaw Blackout, partially serrated...its my regular carry blade. I also have an Ontario Bayonet, CRKT M-16 and a nice little Fixed Falcon neck knife....just to name a few. What do you folks have? Any pictures? Well I see I can't...

      My wife is a gun hater and I'm sick of it.

      So I finally get enough money to buy a handgun...a Ruger P95 9mm, after having to sell my other guns (except for one shotgun) three years ago when we fell on hard times, and she is giving me total crap. Now I'm not saying we don't have some other problems in our marriage, but damn I think I'm...
