I also shoot better with revolvers, I also like how they're simpler to handle, easier to clean and more reliable. Much fewer parts to fail on you at a bad moment.

Kimber makes a great gun. So does CZ.

CK or Daggers if you guys are ever in my deck of the woods, do you want to teach me to shoot? I've never fired a gun before.
I can't really claim to be a gunslinger because of this...
I've only shot a gun maybe five times in my life. Not sure I'm qualified to teach.

Well, CK can help us out, I'm sure. Afterwards (or before?) we can go get smashed and talk DT.
I've fired every gun you can imagine--never really developed a taste for it.

I love to shoot, but I do have a healthy fear of them.

Planning on going on a shooting spree there CK? And aren't you supposed to be using sneetches instead of guns?Originally Posted by All_Hail_The_Crimson_King
My dad has a really nice nickel-plated Python .375 Magnum. It belonged to my grandmother. She was a gun collector. It is beautiful. Erin went back home with me once and we shot it because she had never shot a gun before. It is a beast of a gun, much longer barrel than your typical .357 and I forgot how loud it was until I shot it again.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
You're not talkin' about your meat pistol are you?

Chevre!
Can you post a picture of it?
I would be more than happy to. Both.Well, CK can help us out, I'm sure. Afterwards (or before?) we can go get smashed and talk DT.Too bad you're not here in New England, there is a range in New Hampshire where they have Thompson guns available to shoot, with the round magazine..straight out of the gangster movies of the 30s and 40s.

I'll try to get a picture of it the next time I visit my dad. I tried to google a picture of a similar one, but my google-fu isn't very strong today.Chevre!

How about you all take up counterstrike instead?

I'm replaying Halo right now. Is it true that Halo 2 for the PC only works on Vista. What a stupid marketing idea if it is.
Anyway, back to topic. My understanding is that the majority of pistol jams (i.e. cartridges that won't eject) are caused by "limp-wristing" the gun. In other words if you allow the gun to kick back too far the shell won't eject right. Some say the .40 I'm looking at is supposed to be bad for jamming and some say it's bullshit. I won't know 'till I get it.

Sig P229 right? I haven't heard about this jamming issue with this gun. I knew someone awhile ago who had this gun in .40 and swore by it. Sigs are great guns, I've shot a P226 in .40 a couple of times and loved it.

Sorry, I forgot to specify. It was the S&W 4006. Sig's are supposed to be extremely reliable. I guess if mine jammed I'd just throw it at them.

Well, I got my .40 cal S&W 4006 about a week ago and went out and shot it this weekend. Lemmie say it's a nice weapon. I still have to get used to shooting it as it's a heavy SOB at 37oz empty.
Now I'm looking at a couple of Galco shoulder holsters. They're expensive so I've been bidding on ebay. Hoping to get one on the cheap.

Nice looking gun, I believe I've shot one of those before but its been awhile. Any jams while shooting it? As far as your shopping for a holster goes, do you have any gun shows in your area? Often those are great places to buy stuff like shoulder holsters for cheap. For CC I've been looking at Thunderwear, I've read some good stuff about their holsters.Well, I got my .40 cal S&W 4006 about a week ago and went out and shot it this weekend.
