She has gone out to the range with me in the past and now she desires to have a weapon with her for personal protection. The problem is I really don't know much about them and would like some advice. I would like to stay under $500. I currently own a Glock and was looking at a couple of Glocks. A co-worker of mine recommended a revolver. Let me know what you think

I know they say that you are not suppose to, but we all do things that we're not suppose to sometimes. I want to carry with one in the chamber, but don't like the idea of having the gun fully ******.

I am a resident of the state of Missouri and I can legally hunt in Missouri. I am of legal age to hunt with a handgun in the state of Missouri and would like to take my handgun during the fall firearms season but do not wish to do so without my rifle. If you respond to my question please give me a credible source so as I may verify your information. Some tell me it is legal while others tell me it is against the law. I have e-mailed mdc.mo.gov but have not recieved a response as of yet. I plan to call my reginal and local conservation departments in the next few weeks but I thought I would go ahead and give "Yahoo! ANSWERS" a try. thank you

Does anyone have any experince with either and if so what ammo does it like?

Is it loud with subs ?

thanks

do you think it is improper to shoot a pistol revolver or a submachine gun with one hand? I don't see why a small pistol type arm would require two hands if there not long guns like rifles and shotguns.

Or are we in a "generation of overkill" when it comes to hunting deer sized game, specifiacally whitetail deer? I go deer hunting at my camp every season up at my camp in Marienville, PA. The farthest shot I know of up there has been about 75 yards. With that being said, many of my grandpa's friends come up to hunt, as well as my uncle, grandpa, etc. My grandpa's friend uses a .300 Rem. Ultra. Mag. , my cousins grandpa uses a .300 Weatherby, and my granpa and uncle both use 7mm Rem. Mags. Me and my cousin are the only hunters with standard calibers (30-06 and 30-30), which is just ridiculous. Lastly, I was reading an article on how the magnum trend is increasind among hunters. Does everyone else agree. Thanks.

I just bought a .38 special and some full metal jacket rounds for the shooting range and it looked to me like they were the best choice for targets, and not the hollowpoint self-defense ammo. I was wondering would full metal jackets be the best choice or should I get some lead cowboy loads the next time I buy a box of .38 specials.

i love to be outside all the time, and I really, really love climbing mountains. what major should i choose if i like this? i am puzzled ... usually rock climbing and mountaineering is recreational, not occupational. i also want to travel alot, too. i wouldn't want to get stuck working at a national park or something for years and years.

This question is probably more of a poll on your opinion.
I am based in the Pacific Islands and we can get some sinister fish hook ups.
I use Shimano equipment for Landbased Game Fishing and Penn for My Offshore Sport Fishing.

Some people say just pick one or the other!

I'm quite fond of the Penn HT100 Drag System. I think it is vastly superior in stopping power and life to the Shimano.

What are your findings?

I have been practicing for my high school rifle team tryouts. I am excellent in the kneeling and prone (lying down) position, but when I am standing up, I cannot stop my left arm (I am right handed) from shaking! Anything that can help? Diet? Weights? Help! Help! Help! Thanks.

I am looking for a good, small, light weight gun that I can use for home defense, and take it out with me when I need to. (I have my concealed carry permit). Any suggestions? I have a .38 snub nose and a .38 long, but they seem too heavy to carry around.

My Husband is thinking about buying a deer rifle. He's not sure of what rifle to buy. His main choices are a Ruger Mark 2 in stainless with synthetic stock .270 cal. New price is 444.44 He has seen a Browning A-bolt Stainless Stalker at a pawn shop in well used condition. Scratches on the barrel and ejector plate and needs a good cleaning. Also scratches on the stock from a strap for 475.00 .270 cal. Any thoughts. New or used maybe something he hasn't thought of. Prefer .270 or 30-06 or 7 mag.

Can someone please give me the formula to calculate delivered energy? For instance, a 230gr bullet travelling at 850 fps delivers how much energy to a target at 25 yards?

How much vaiation in ft/lbs does barrel length give.
For instance, the same scenario above using a 5" barrel, and a 3" barrel.

I am looking to buy carbine rifle and am thinking either an SKS or an M1A. I will be shooting it 99% of the time on a range, not for hunting. Anyone with experience with one or both, what are the strengths and weakness of these two rifles. Also, how much can I expect to pay for each type. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I've been looking around for a seller of home defense shotguns for sometime, and I just can't seem to find a good one. I live in San Marcos, California, 92078 and the only store I've found yet is Duncan's Gunworks which sells their guns for pretty high prices. I'll purchase a used one if thats what it takes, but if there are cheap new ones then I'd love to find the place that sells them. Help?

Why is it that kids with only video game experience come on to answer firearms questions like they're an expert because they're on level 10 of some video game, then get bent all out of shape when someone corrects them? Since when does playing halo make anyone a firearms expert?
