Outdoor Recreation - December 2007

So, I'm thinking about getting one to stick in my sock(ankle holster) for the times that a belt holster and a larger weapon aren't appropriate.

So what can you tell me about the model 1? Is it reliable? Is it accurate? Can it take 3" .410 shells?

I understand this is a last ditch weapon.

Opinions of the S&W M&P .45 by owners and those who have fired them. I love the feel of them and am thinking of purchasing one. Any regrets from owners?

List which would be best for customizing, sniping/target, hunting, assault, ect and which has the best handling and least kick. And who's the best manufactorers for each. Please back up your opinions with facts or experiences. Thanks.

I'm looking for a shotgun for my husband, preferably Remington or Mossberg. I want something in a 12 gauge with interchangeable chokes. He already has a Mossberg 500, but we cannot get the choke out. He would use the new one primarily for waterfowl (ducks, geese), but would like to be able to change the choke for turkey. I'm not looking to spend more than about $400. One that comes in a camo would be nice, but not necessary. Suggestions???

my friend told me he shot and killed a deer with a .22 lr. he tells alot of lies so do you really think that a .22 can kill a deer even if shot in the head?

like why don't they still use the spencer rifle in the military? It's a good weapon, i really don't see the peoblem! just cause somethings 150 years old doesn't mean they shouldn't still use it! I think it should become the standard infantrymans rifle, wht do you think?

My grandpa gave me this gun to deer hunt with. I promised him I would NEVER sell the rifle, and I wont. What I do want to know is how much it is worth so I can insure it. How can I find out? Also a good site for ammo.

Alright, first of all I am a twenty year old college student. I live away from home in an off campus apartment. I live in a relatively small city, but I can't help but notice an increase in crime rate. Especially break-ins and other crimes of that nature. A few weeks ago two students were held at gunpoint a few blocks from my apartment. What would be the best option for me when it comes to personal defense? I am and always have been a hunter so I am familiar with shotguns and rifles. I've never shot a pistol but thought about purchasing one and taking a training couse next year when I turn 21. Another option for me would be to purchase a home defense shotgun. One that is tailored specifically for close quarters combat. A third and cheapest option would be to go home and get the youth model 20 gauge that I used when I was younger and load it up with oo buckshot. I own two 12 gauge shotguns, but the length on the barrels make them ideal for duck hunting, not home defense.

Why is it that you hear about 9mm rounds and .45 rounds, for instance? How come it isn't standardized?

My brothers have a friend they want to invite deer hunting but think that since he spent time in prison, he can't go hunting. He is not on parole. I know he can't purchase a firearm, but do you know if he can get a license and USE one of their rifles? Can they GIVE him a rifle or is that forbidden because of his conviction? They want to know soon because deer season (rifle, not bow) ends in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the help!

In an earlier question I asked how I could make my Remington Model 700 in 30-06 more accurate. I got many great answers and I appreciate it. I was wondering if someone could direct me somewhere I could learn more about glass bedding and free floating. They seem to be the most economic ways of achieving greater accuracy. I would like to do it myself so is there a do-it-yourself kit? Thanks!
