How about the 218 Bee Winchester? I wasn't even aware it existed until I was looking for a good varment rifle for grandpa. It sounds like it was only chambered for the lever action until the early 50's when they made the Winchester model 43 bolt action and the Sako L-46. I am wondering how much of a...

If I am not mistaken, it was a democrat that did sign for the permit to carry class to be allowed in MN right?

:D It's interesting how some people view my question, I by all means don't think I should automatically be qualified to be able to to carry just because of some training I had. I just wanted to know why I wouldn't be eligible for the permit to carry through training I have taken vs a 8 hour class fo...

Well I have to say so far I am getting some good views and opionions on this topic, I enjoy being able to see more than one side to things, I do think it is to much money and should be cheaper, I guess my expectations of the class where higher than what it was as far as the teaching goes. I guess I ...

because I'm not sure how long it will be before I get a job, and it's another person to put on the tally for going through permit class and supporting the 2nd amendment

Good point FamerJ!

So, I just took a permit to caryy class the other weekend, and my question is this. Last fall, I took 18 weeks of tactical firearm's training in my LE program, we covered all the MN laws justifying when you can take some ones life as a LE officer. Now the rules are slightley different from LE to a c...

My comments are based on what I see as your total ignorance on how LE agencies mandate carry guns, in most cases dictating not only caliber but brand and model(s). Now some of the small forces permit some flexibility but that fact you asked about a revolver caliber(yes I know you can get 357 in a m...

Of course my instructor's taught us that it is the shooter not the round that matters in most cases. But when I heard about the fella I know getting shot three times with the .357 at a distance of five yards, I was amazed he survived. Many people would say that the .357 Mag. is a round that should b...

[quote="mmcnx2"]I know a guy....three rounds.... You should consider another career, maybe something that does not require you to carry a gun would be a better choice. If god forbid you are serious, you should seek some help during the interview process and ask the department what they thi...

Being a perspective law enforcement officer, I wonder what is the most effective caliber to use. I have always had respect for the .357 round, but recently I am starting to wonder if it is as bad-a** as some people think it is. I personly know of a man of medium build who took three rounds to the ce...

Try a tampon, I heard those are pretty effective in stopping the bleeding of a bullet wound. This knowledge was passed on by a Iraq Vet.

I was having problems with my Benelli and 1100 special last December while I was pheasant hunting. I noticed when it was cold out that the actions where becoming sticky. So I tried using less oil. It seemed to help a little, but I can only imagine its hard on the mechanics of the gun. Of course a gu...

Thanks for the info. Every one I know seemed to always talk about that S&W barrel. Glock 22 would make sense...

I love my model 31, but with the shortage of the .357 sig round and not being a real popular round. I would like to know if a .40 S&W barrel is a good choice for a barrel change. Also is there any recommended changes you need to make to the nomuclature of the pistol itself when putting in a .40 ...
