Im curious about how you all feel as the lemon squeeze as added safety feature? Im not planning on leaving a loaded gun where a child can get to it but is there really an added safety value.. ? Im a little confused as why none of these revolvers have a safety on them.

Ive been thinking latley of just getting the full blown FFL and doing trasnfers for people localy. Theres only a handfull in my area, most of em charge an arm and a leg. I got all the paperwork for the C&R in summer of 08. There was a BIG thread on it here around that time. Some were all for it, others totaly against it. It convinced me to put it off and then eventualy I just forgot about it all. AG_man is right, if they are gonna bust...

Even at 449 you got a smokin deal on a new gun. Out here in my AQ a used one would set you back 550-600 at a gunshow. I think you made a wise choice. Yes get a 22 for plinking - increase your skill with cheap and low recoil ammo Yes, those boot grips are a good set, only change them if they are way too small for your hands, and then with something similar but a little longer.

So I bought one of the Mini Masters. 4" barrel with dual cylinders. I can practice with .22 LR but carry with the Magnum cylinder. I've shot a few reactive targets with first the 22 LR cylinder and then the Magnum one and there was...

Secret: Women dealing with men can get by with "would ya take?" type negotiations better than men. A lady friend of mine tells me she makes ridiculously low offers on many things including real estate and says she very seldom gets any negative feedback from men as long as she does it "conversationally". But customarily, only used guns are negotiated, though sometimes this custom is breached at gun shows. Gun...

My girls, (14 and 12), still draw crowds, (and probably sell 30 rifles), when they field strip AK's at the gunshow. Even though it seems like half the neighborhood comes by with bowls in their hands when it's deer chili night,...

I see you finally made it out of San Diego. How is your new home town?

http://www.survivalblog.com/ Saving Money and Ammunition in Small Arms Training, by Jeff T. Several factors have resulted higher prices and in shortages of ammunition. These include higher commodity prices, recent political developments with many people buying to prepare for uncertain availability as well as demand from the military for the ongoing war on terrorists. This storm of demand has resulted in very real shortages of many common...
