My reason for starting this thread is I just made my first firearms purchase and going through the 72 hour waiting period. I bought a Daewoo DH40, with tri-action. It came with 2 12 rd mags. Supposedly tri-action is accurate like single action, with the light trigger, but quicker like double. It also has the standard single and double action modes...

They will start having more 10rd+ mags available as soon as the AWB exprires on September 13, 2004.


I wont say what guns I have, but I will tell you that I have 4 of them, and anyone who will try to take them by force will cheerfully recieve the bullets first.

bjsc: I have a blued Walther PPK .280 as well. There is a drop-fire hazzard with those guns. Hence, I don't let my wife use it as a "purse gun" anymore. Jes be careful with it--there is a lot of litigation against Walther going around because of this problem.

I appreciate the heads up. So she's rough with her purses, huh...

Some of the early Rem 700's had problems firing as soon as the safety was pushed forward. Talk about a surprise!

Truthfully, I don't even like semi-auto handguns very much. I only bought the Walther because it was the flattest in a substantial caliber for concealed carry (also why it's SS - don't care for shiny weapons, either)

bjsc, you mean .380. If they ever make a PPK in .280 Ruger (which is a rifle round based off of a .30-06 case ), you sure as hell wont find me shooting it.:p


The Rem.700's had fireing problems because they didnt use the original Mauser 3-position safety on the bolt originally, opting for a trigger-safety at one time. In the correct safety position on a Mauser, you can pick up the whole gun by the bolt itself, without ever opening the bolt.

PM9's are selling like hotcakes. I personally find them a little to expensive though.

ted, is that al bundy's old dodge youve got there?

god, he loves that car! :p

Smith & Wesson 686,,,, Awsome piece.

With that Ulta Dot, it's almost like cheating. I can dot an i at 25 yards. Like the Remington Model 12 for home use though.

Your neighbors should thank you; there's minimal overpenetration with shot.

I have several rifles, shotguns, and handguns. I used to shoot a lot and reload some. Mostly .30/30 and .270 some 12 and 20 ga. Now I use them to weight-down my gun cabinet, except for the pistola in the dresser. Sold the reloaders.

Gee, I wonder what our British brothers and sisters think of this gun madness. Any of you guys shot any family members or knocked-over any likker stores lately?
