Damn, Jay! It seems that anything you do, you do very seriously. Beautiful firearms. Seeing as how I bought your Watts Link when you were done with it, let me know if you ever need to thin out your firearms herd -- seriously.

stump_breaker Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I just recently bought my wife a little single shot .410 shotgun for killing snakes around the house. If you have never had/shot one you should consider it. A very fun and simple little gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra666 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 That is a nice gun but I personally do not like revolvers without the hammer, I know it serves a purpose in the meaning that it wont get caught in your shirt or belt and its good for concealed but to pull the trigger and having a accurate shot you have to practice a lot. I've been looking for a S&W .38 special that interchanges with the .357 rounds-those are bad-a$$... Any .357 revolver should be able to chamber .38+P ammo. If you buy a .357 you can just shoot it with .38 if you find it more controllable. Obviously, check the manual first to make sure its safe in your gun. I have a S&W 360PD 1 7/8 in barrel. It a great little gun, kick is snappy but its got nice rubber grips that soak it up really well. It has a exposed hammer, weights 12 oz or so. http://www.genitron.com/REV-SW-360PD/SW-360PD.html BTW revolvers can jam, I've had cases ram against the recoil shield preventing the cylinder from rotating. Unusual, but it has happened to me 2 or 3 times over the years. It not quick to clear either. I've never had a glock jam. Had misfires with "range ammo" a couple times. Never with commercial stuff. This is out of thousands of rounds. Glocks are more suseptible to trigger snags, a good holster is a must, but they are pretty safe. In a perfect world, a glock with a grip safety would be good. There are situations where a clip disconnect could be a liability such as a broken clip. A single shot glock in a bad situation is better than a no shot one.

KC666 I have had a revolver jam only one time and it was my fault. I had placed too much lubrication under the star extractor and unburnt powder collected there which pushed the casings backward. I learned my lesson. The ultra light weight revolvers will jam with the 357 if you do not use the correct weight of bullet. There is so much kinetic energy that after the first couple of shots the bullets actually move forward and out of their seating in the casing. It acts just like a bullet puller with pulling the projectile forward and it will prevent roration of the cylinder. Usually the instructions will say to use at least 125 grain. I concur re the 38+P in the right configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh-RAH! Sniper rifles? Now I know I want to be your bestest buddy! I definitely want to see those pictures. The rifle that I used as a police sniper was totally custom made based on a Mauser 98 action, (at that time, Remington 700 actions were hard to come by). The guys used to give me crap because of the long barrel - saying that all I had to do was reach out and smack the suspect on the top of the head with the end of the barrel - but the dang thing tightly key-holed three shot groups at 100 yards with cheap, Black Hills, (at least it was cheap in 1992), 150 grains. I had it set up for optimum weight of bullets of 168 grain HP Federal Match Grade ammo. The trigger pull was set at 1 pound, (couldn't get a double set trigger for the 98). My scope was a Redfield police sniper scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VNMOUS1 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 If you shoot yourself, then you are being negligent. For a personal self-defense firearm, I like the Glock for simplicity. Many people in the heat of the moment have not got a round off in self-defense (including police officers) because they forgot to click the safety off costing them precious seconds in a life or death situation. You can minimize this with repeated training, unfortunately many people don't ever put in this kind of effort and have never been faced with a life threatening event where even the simplest of actions become difficult. So I personally believe in the Glock or a double action revolver like a S&W...especially for women. If you treat the weapon as if it were loaded at all times, never point it at anything you don't intend to shoot and keep your finger straight and off the trigger at all times until ready to shoot, you will be fine. When deciding to do any kind of maintenance, clear the weapon by first removing the magazine and then ejecting the chambered round! Went back and re-read some old posts. I'm really not THIS far behind. That said............................... +1111111111111111 My M&P 9mm has no internal lock or mag disconnect. It also has a doofus-proof sentence on the side of the weapon that states that it can fire with the mag out. The S&W M&P series can be bought with no safety in most states. When I was growing up, with firearms, I was tought to never have your finger in the trigger guard until you're ready to shoot (the last thing you do after making certain that you're never pointing that thing at something you don't intend to destroy). I use a Blackhawk holster that requires my forefinger to be straight down the side of it to release the weapon. As it clears, my finger naturally lies down the side of the weapon, over the trigger guard. As a pilot and a SCUBA instructor, I understand the value of repetition. It is practice....practice again....review and practice again. I've never understood how a pilot can have fuel exhaustion or how a diver can run out of air. For those same reasons, I can't understand how any responsible gun owner can shoot themselves or anyone else by accident. I have two friends that have shot themselves in the ass with a 1911 be tugging it out of a holster. Freakin amazing. bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes everyone should drop the mag first and then rack the slide. But some forget. That is why I recommend the S&W M&P, with mag safety disconnect, for everyone that wants an auto. That way it is no longer an issue. To me the glock is a good gun but it has a failed design. That being that you have to pull the trigger before disassembling. That is not necessary with the M&P. S&W sat back for many years and started their design with a clean sheet of paper. I had input in the design and stressed the need for a mag safety disconnect. I also think the interchangable back straps to accomdate different size hands is a plus for everyone. The glock was good but like anything else it has been vastly improved upon with the new M&P IMO. Both are very accurate, very reliable, but the M&P is, IMO, safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to hijack the thread and speaking of the Glock how about a little comic relief, You may have already seen this but as serious as it is notice how the "instructor" plays it off and the student’s reaction to his picking up another weapon.
