Incidentally, i did have hunting in mind. It would be a new frontier for me, and had thought that i would be using the .40 S&W carbine, but maybe the .44 Blackhawk would be a better choice?
Now that i feel like i've entered the gun owners club big time, i'm looking at which direction to head in next. From a collector's and investors mentality, i can see the value of buying low-selling high. From a practical viewpoint, i can see the value of having a powerful and intimidating...
Well, only having had the Division of Wildlife hunter class and NRA basic pistol, i would want a follow up class, probably a handgun tactical, or self defense.
not a bad idea-screw up someone else's gun instead of my own:): No, seriously, if any interested party would like a maintenance apprentice for a couple of hours, well:popcorn:
thanks guys- being new to this, i'm more concerned about learning the "wrong" way or improper maintenance- if there is one- and causing problems to the gun that weren't there before than doing nothing. After hearing so much about issues such as misfires and jamming, it makes me think that these...

Hey Fats,
I'm basically in the same boat. What it comes down to for me is a matter of time and materials to build one vs what is already made available on the market. Some of the questions i would have would be- dimensions-would it need to fit into a particular space? fireproof...
Thanks guys for all the advice. Sounds like Gander might be a place to go and look, get an idea of whats on the market, but buy somewhere else. I'm not a big wallyworld fan but for prices they usually have the upper hand. I bought my 9MM over at Bradis a couple of weeks ago and really liked...
Guy on budget looking for a handgun holster and soft case for a carbine, also maybe some ammo. I live in Indy near east. $50 or lower. Gander Mtn. sports in Greenwood comes to mind. Worth the drive out there and back for these items or is there someplace better? Haven't been there before...
OK OK Hold you fire fellas, i'll be there but not until 2. I'll be the guy w/o the LTCH that your saying isn't necessary:dunno: Looking forward to meeting some of you guys if your around.:patriot:
Just looked at their website. Looks really good, they do require memberships though or guests to be accompanied by a member. Membership requires an application,a $25 initiation fee and $110.00 for a year,(good deal), then attending a board meeting(next one is tues Feb 7@7:30 PM. MCFG Indy...
