Re: 22 LR vs. 25 ACP in a Beretta Tip-up (model 21)...?
The beretta .22 i have is a wonderful and FUN gun to shoot. It is however not reliable and has no extractor which makes it harder to clear FTF. Consider it a range gun instead of a gun you would depend your life on. The gun functions more reliable with stingers but the manual says not to use them, j...

Re: Thoughts on Home Protection for non-gun people...
since they wont be doing drills or shooting a lot i recommend a revolver. Do not make the mistake of buying an airweight .38 special because of the recoil.

Re: Why the popularity of AR-15 rifle series?
Same reason bolt actions took over the market post WW1. When a million men go to war with a bolt action, they come home familiar with a piece, and it stays nearby.
