Scape, it would benefit you to attend a group shoot to try out a lot of guns before making your decision. I'm all for organizing another one ASAP.

I agree. When can we get one organized?

Sure thing.
Surplus guns are a great value. Dependable, strong, built well.

Nothing wrong with them. Some people need to have the latest plastic with big names on them and they can lead you to believe surplus military and police issued sidearms are junk but there is a lot of great stuff out there.

One thing I have learned about revolvers is that of your gonna carry you should leave the chamber that is on the barrel open invade you happen to bump the hammer or something like that, you don't have to worry about blowing your d*ck off

I am not a revolver guy but I am pretty sure above only refers to older single action revolvers . Newer revolvers have been designed with a hammer block /firing pin block to stop this from happening.

I would never carry a gun without one in the chamber - You might as well be concealing a brick.

:bigeek: What? If you've learned that, you need to un-learn it.

Like drifty240 said, it's old guns that do that, nothing modern does. The concept of leaving the hammer over an empty chamber is a carry over from old cowboy guns that were unreliable and would "go off" when jarred, dropped, etc. Which specific models had those issues I don't know, but just say "old ones" and that pretty much covers it. You wouldn't ever carry an antique gun anyway. Not only do all modern guns have some form of drop safety, they're all built to much higher tolerances and using better designs and materials, which makes them nearly perfect reliability wise.

Since it's virtually impossible for any gun to fire without actually pulling the trigger you never have to worry about touching any other part of the gun and causing it to fire. As far as accidental contact with the trigger, well that doesn't happen either because you carry in a holster which covers the trigger. You have to be an absolute moron to ever carry without a holster. If you jam a gun in your pants like a thug, you should expect to shoot yourself the first time and every time.

Always carry at full capacity, always carry with a round in the chamber, and always carry in a quality holster.

and get to the range more than once ...:-p

theVanMan 05-18-2012 07:20 PM

i never leave one in the chamber because i want to give the offender one click to scare them, and then the boom comes and its over and if they try to get me after the first click i back away a few steps.

Doing something like that would get you either A: Killed, or B: a brandishing charge.

If that's your plan, you need to get yourself an education in the proper ways to carry a firearm or not carry at all.

theVanMan 05-18-2012 07:42 PM

yeah i usually just run away from a dangerous situation in my van. when im sure im safe again, i put in a quiet moods cd, pull over, sit in the back of my van and let it all melt away...Ahhhhh...

~Brian~ 05-18-2012 08:08 PM

You clearly don't care about carrying a firearm properly, so I'm not even going to waste my time trying to educate you. Good luck, I hope you don't get somebody hurt.

I'm looking for a good but inexpensive 38 or 9 to conceal and to add to my collection. Does anyone have one for sale?

Well it was my pop pop that taught me so he might be used to the whole single action aha

theVanMan 05-19-2012 08:20 AM

yea i was just joking about guns. trolling is a new word created by young people. old people are just joshing. young people are trolling. i have some weird ww2 guns and i dont carry them around because if anyone attacks me, i will just try to fight and kill them, and if they try to shoot me i will get shot. que sera sera.

I'm also very into collecting firearms, I have several at my dad's in FL in the safe consisting of original model 1911's some old remington's and a few colt's.


Here is what I have now a lot more will be added soon.

From top left: S&W 9mm Sigma, Taurus Ultralight .38 special, Kel-Tec 9mm

Under the pistols: Stoeger Semi-Auto 12Ga, Remington .22lr, Remington 7mm-08..

I plan on picking up a few more revolvers as I really do like them for personal carry, buut I want a .223 AR soo badly so that will most likely come first :).

Cheers,
Steve

Haven't had time to shoot in so long. Gotta talk to my friend tonight about sponsoring me for the Langhorne Rod and Gun club.

16gDSM 05-19-2012 12:37 PM

Hey anyone know of any good not to expensive glock 30 IWB holsters with a clip on it? Clip like to clip on your pants. Open top as well don't like the strip ones.

CleanNeon98 05-19-2012 02:36 PM

DeSantis Stealth is universal for anything from a G19-G36 I believe

schaffer 05-20-2012 04:28 AM

If anyone has an m&p sport and is looking to unload it. Let me know.

Wow, I leave for a month and the whole section goes to ****, leaving common sense to a select few!

If you carry, always have one chambered. EVEN WiTH A REVOLVER. No warning clicks, no shots in the air. If you are feeling threatened enough to draw, be ready to shoot. The BG isn't going to give you a warning go on whatever they're planning.. I own sa revolvers.. They won't shoot themselves. If you drop in or it falls you weren't carrying it right.

Go to the range as much as possible. Read as much as possible, have fun and be careful!
