The M1 Garand Rifle (1942) - YouTube

Heck no, they just have to buy their shoes like everyone else. :D

Fat Old Guy, I keep coming back to this idea that guns are just part of the job of being a police officer. And like most of us who work, the last thing we want is our jobs to encroach on our free time. Unless a police officer has an extreme passion for firearms, to go the range in his off time...

Yes, the police have a tough job, no doubt about it, and after reading your post I think I was amiss by saying that they just work for a paycheck. There are, afterall, easier ways to earn a paycheck. And yes it easy to armchair quarterback but we could never know what it was like to be in that...

I've been thinking about this too, trying to come up with a theory. The training idea is a compelling argument, but how come among equally trained athletes, on a football field for example, some players perform better than others, or certain players seem to rise to the occasion when the game is...

Wow, great deal on the Mossberg, congrats! Here's the 590 at 200 yards with 2 3/4" slugs: Shotgun Slugs at 200 Yards - YouTube

Not really, the Big 3 all offer V8 engines. :D

There's a 10 round mag limit in Massachusetts too. Along with the 10 round limit, you presented some compelling evidence for going with the bigger caliber. An M&P40 is on my short list so I'd be interested in hearing your observations. My first purchase is going to be a Remington 870. Is...

So which caliber would? :D I wanna be prepared. :D

Absolutely StatesRightist, training is a requirement for a license; in fact, it's the first step I need to take. If the connect rate is less than 50% is it possible that it's not so much a training deficiency but maybe how a person reacts under pressure and stress? I could imagine that someone...

The way I look at it is that I've gone through my entire life unarmed and I'm still alive to talk about it, and I've been in some tough neighborhoods/ situations as well. It seems to me that just having a weapon on my person and being able to adequately operate it would be all gravy to me. Maybe...

Okay, this raises another question I have. When I was a kid I used to shoot BB guns and .22s and I was always a good shot, better than anyone I ever shot with. I also seemed to have a knack for estimating how high to aim to compensate for gravity. I remember knocking a small bird off a power...

I'm so glad I posted. I went from skeptical about the .40S&W to 100% sure which caliber I want to concentrate on; the .40S&W of course. I've taken to heart the greater importance of putting the bullets where you want them so I want to become an absolute ace marksman with the .40S&W. This post...

Probably not when the bullets are flying, but as a general rule, yes. :D

I have heard the 9mm called the NATO round. I'm pretty much resigned to the sad reality that my second amendment constitutional rights aren't enough to secure a license to carry concealed in my city. And the powers that be would rather have out-of-control crime, like in my city, than to, god...

AHA!! There it is! Evidence. It is about Smith & Wesson bashing. Another case cracked. :D

"GAP" has other meanings too. :D

Thankyou Sir, that does help. It's interesting though that there isn't more negative ink towards the 9mm if it was adopted mostly for female shooters. It seems to me that the .40 S&W is more manly but it's considered "gay" because it's a "compromise". I still like the theory that the...

"When people ask me what to buy, I tell them pick the largest caliber you shoot well and practice regularly, till you can shoot no larger than 12" groups down to 25 yds, then you have the "best" caliber for you." States Rightist, Sounds like solid advice, but are there actually shooters who can...

Thanks for the link! I watched a video of tnoutdoors9 shooting a Remington 870 and really enjoyed it. In fact an 870 is going to be my first purchase. I didn't know he had all those videos. I liked his no nonsense knowledgable style. Thanks again.
