I am planning to buy a handgun, either a 9 mm or .45 (or less likely a .40).

My question is whether one particular caliber is better suited for a musician in terms of pain and damage to the wrists/hands.

Basically, is there any reason to avoid a pistol with a relatively high recoil such as a .45 in this case? Would this harm your wrist/fingers in any such way that would make a lower caliber better suited for a musicians (in particular guitarists)?

Thanks for any input.

I am looking to purchase a single rifle that can handle many activities. I am an amatuer marksman for fun, with my cheap savage .270 which is a beater at best, I can pop eggs at 200 yards without any problem with cheap federal factory loads. I feel that with practice and with the right equipment and handloads I could get to the 800, 1000 yard club and want a rifle that can do that, but I can also hunt with without disintegrating the animal, (yet can take down any game in this continent), that isn't obnoxiously heavy, and can shoot from any position without uncomfortable recoil.

I am thinking the best choice considering all the options is a .300 win, maybe mostly Remington 700 action and frame, with a heavy free-floated barrel with the1/11.5 twist they put on their milspec guns, and maybe an adjustable stock with balanced weight, and probably wouldn't cost an obscene amount of money (<1.5K) Thoughts?

Combined with my prior question as to what caliber is best out to 500 yards, what rifles and scopes do you guys recommend for paper punching?

I'm most interested in an accurate rifle that I can shoot a lot without breaking my bank (on ammo). I have about $2k to spend on my paper "sniper rifle." (I know ya'll love that term!)

THIS IS NOT A HUNTING RIFLE!

okay so i really want to rockclimb and this weeked i tryed it out.

i was doing fine and about halfway up idk what it is but i get this really bad anxiety and my whole body tenses up and it makes it impossible to climb. My hands just tense up so badly and even afterward I couldn't move them that well.

It's like I'm afraid, but at the same time i'm not because i know the harness will catch me. But is this just a fear mechanism that's messing with me?
Because in my mind all I want to do is climb up and I know i have the physical strength, but the muscles in my body don't respond.

I tryed this twice and the same thing happened and after I got down I was crying, and I don't know why.
SUPER SUPER JUST FREAKED OUT i had to take a lojng break.

What the hell man?

What is the best caliber for target shooting that will give me the best "bang for the buck" and allow me to shoot enough to get to be a better shooter? I'd like to shoot a lot and maybe reload and would consider this a "paper sniper rifle." So accuracy is a driving force of my decision. I'm not hunting either.

I have read different feeling towards what is the best "deer rifle". Here is some information: I usualy hunt in the woods, where a 200yd shot would be common. On the other hand I like to shoot targets with my buddies at 300yds or less. So is there a gun where 250 yds is no problem but if a deer came within 100yd it wouldnt leave half the meet useless. Recoil is no such a problem with me because i am 17. I have shot 30-06, 12 gauge shotgun, .30 carbine, and 6.5 by 55 swedish.

Also i was wondering if yall would recommend me to a rifle that I can buy. Only thing is that I have a limited budget of $300 to $400. I am trying to find a package of a rifle and a scope. Walmart has some Mossbergs for $415 which i would do, but are Mossbergs good in accuracy, and dependablity?

Thanks,
Matt

I'm considering many guns for concealed carry and all ways had the 1911 in the back of my mind but never really considered it until now. The only drawback is the mag cpacity of only 7 or 8 rounds. I know you're going to say that it doesn't matter if you hit your target but i like at least 10. Is the 1911 a practical idea for concealed carry? If i land up getting a 1911 i'm going to get a wilson or a kimber. Any suggestions on anything i should do to them or are they pretty much good out of the box? Opinions are appreciated.

I have a Ruger 10/22 that i got for my 13th birthday, im still 13, i dont like to hunt, but if a freind was going and invited me i would go for fun. I go to the gun-range to practice shooting at targets with my rifle about once every weekend, but i usually invite my brother or someone to shoot with me for company. I am a tight end in a football league, and am perfect weight for my height. I know a lot about guns, more then i should know at my age, its kind of my passion, i practice at the gun range because i am hoping to become a law enforcement sharpshooter when i grow up, and im not saying that like when a kindergardener says he wants to be a police man. i get A's and B's in my classes, but i hate school. I dont have the patience for fishing and my TV is glued to comedy central. i dont have an accent of any sort but i was born in Texas.

My mom sometimes calls me "Bubba", because shes usually just kidding around. so i want to know, do i have the personality of a redneck hillbilly?

I am no fisherman or angler, but am informed that using a spear on a string, or an air-rifle is illegal, but a vicous looking hook on a line is OK.
What the Dickens is going on ?
Oh, a bow and arrow is also illegal, although it is still on the Statutes that all Englishmen should practice the long-bow for one hour per day, barring Sundays.

I am bemused.

Any thoughts ?

Bob.

I live in PA and am weary of putting a gun safe in my garage. I thought about putting a "Golden Rod" dehumidifier in the safe. Is it possible for temperature changes and/or humidity to affect the firearms and contents if I put the dehumidifier in it?

I would love to get into reloading, but I do not know where to start, so I have some questions.

1. Is it expensive?
2. Where do I start?
3. Is it complex?

Basically, what do I need to know, research, buy, etc.

Thanks for all the input!

Hi, I am illustrating a short story where the protagonist is in possession of a revolver. I know little about guns, save which end does what, but I'd appreciate some help here.

What I'd like is the name, or picture, of a revolver CURRENTLY IN U.S. PRODUCTION that looks 'old fashioned' in it's style- e.g., something that looks as if it could have been designed any time between WW1 and now- a 'western' style revolver might be a bit too old world but it's on the right tracks.

I'd just like to see what I'm meant to be drawing. So I need a new revolver that has that timeless, might be a hundred years or a day old look. But nothing fancy.

If you have any ideas, please help- thanks.
