    NYGF Handgun Pictures Gallery: Show off your Pistols and Revolvers !

    Extremely rare Beretta Cougar in .45ACP w/rail. These are known as the "sample pistols"! Only 13 were made as samples for the LAPD around 2005! They were never shipped and were discovered when Beretta was cleaning out the MD. plant prior to moving to TN! Of the 13 known to exist.....I HAVE TWO...

    Anybody Else Use a SIRT Pistol?

    I own a SIRT Pro and use it! It is a great training tool that can be used almost anywhere/anytime, to train with. I flipped the green and red lasers on mine so I could use it with the Laserlyte cans that knock over when the laser hits the sensor! You can only use the red laser to get them to...

    Uberti Schofield 45 or Ruger 1911 45ACP

    The two guns that you are deciding between couldn't be more polar opposites, lol! IMO, neither one is in the collectible category so I would not base my decision on that. I tend to agree with most that the 1911 is the more "enjoyable" way to go and the ammo is less expensive, unless you reload...

    Wow, I had no idea that some of you guys have to go thru this! Even here in Nassau and Suffolk county, you can buy as many as you want and just go down and pay the document fee for each one, then go get them. I have bought as many as 6 at one time! Skeeter

    9 or 45?

    Phazer, your calculations are spot on as far as costs go, to load .45 ACP! If someone happens to be able to buy components at an even bigger bulk/or wholesale price.........that number will come down, even more! If you have brass, .10mm will be right around the same price! Skeeter

    9 or 45?

    If you reload.....it doesn't matter if you go .45ACP or .10mm. If you do not reload then there is a significant difference in the cost of ammo, between the two. At retail store pricing: .45 ACP is around $22.00 a box while .10mm is around $40.00 per box. Skeeter

    Handgun for the wife?

    I teach new shooters, all the time, and many are women. Have her put a Walther PPQ (.9mm) in her hand. The gun has incredible ergonomics and has "the best trigger" out of the box, on any handgun you can find! Smooth non-gritty pull, very short reset. All of these things will help her with her...

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    Why Use Hollow Points?

    The HP projectile (when it expands) tears the flesh and creates a more devastating wound channel, as compared to a round nose FMJ. That small amount of expansion "could" be the difference between nicking a vital organ and stopping the threat as opposed to, a smooth entrance and exit wound that...

    Where do you carry (on your body), and why?

    I've been taking a break from my "real" business and working in a gun store, for the past few months. (Doing it for love, not money, lol) I carry every day for work and always carry outside the waistband, at 4 o'clock!

    Rainier Plated Bullets; Conflicting Load Data?

    Yeah, modern load data for plated bullets leans more towards mid- jacketed loads, then the older data which always said use lead load data. I use the jacketed data and usually end up somewhere around the 1/3 up from minimum area! YMMV! Skeeter
