Aaron Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 My grandpa passed away about 2 years ago giving my dad all of this guns. I picked up all of his handgun/pistols/revolvers about 2 months ago and cleaned/oiled them all up. I went shooting at the New albany shooting range this past weekend, and had alot of fun. He has a S&W 9mm 5906, Colt detective spec .38 special ctg, Ruger new model single six .22, Mauser something and a tiny berreta .25I am trying to get into guns and range shooting and was wondering what gun forums you guys are members of. I tried to look up the info on the Colt and Ruger but it was hard to sift through it all. Thanks alot. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 And is there a reason my text doesnt follow my format when I type it? It seems to just compress it into one paragraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 There are a million forums out there, AR-15.com probably being the largest. The High Road is up there too. Beyond that, there are make/model specific forums out there for just about anything you can think up, if you look hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I was just wondering what good places to get general gun handling/shooting info from. I also was trying to find out more about the guns I have. They all seem to be decent guns, just wanted to find out more about them. Thanks for the help so far, I will do some more research. Keep the info coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to cabela's in wheeling on saturday prices were kinda high but they had a shitload of guns i ALMOST stopped there today on the way home from pittsburgh. really, all i wanted to see was the new M&P 45 compact, but i called first and found out they dont have any, so i didnt stop...ive been there 2-3x before. nice store to the OP, im sure you could take them to somewhere like vances or aumillers (in westerville), and they could fill you in. i dont know if aumiller is open or not. i heard his son just put a .45 to his own head a couple weeks ago. i dont think i would be back to work that quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am on http://www.gunandgame.com for years. They seem to be very knowledgable and friendly people over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 For a basic idea of what you have and what it could be worth, there are value guides at the library. I can't recall the exact title of the one I have in mind, but check with the information desk, and they will be able to find it for you. DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, begin the conversation with, "I've got a whole bunch of guns...." though!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 AR.15.com is a great wealth of knowledge if you've got questions, Austin just started up Ohio-firearms.com, which hopefully will draw a few more locals that are into the 2nd Amendment freedoms.

Aaron Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks alot for the information guys. I will look into stuff. I actually went to the range again today with my fiance. It was a fun time. Guy at the counter commented on my Colt .38 special detective spec. Said it was the nicest one he has seen, and that they dont make them any more. We are looking for a range on the West side to become a member of. Any recommendations? We live by Tuttle Mall in The Orleans Appartments.

IMO, New Albany blows. Hands down Blackwing is the nicest range I've ever been to in my life. I think I've seen your ride off old state, so it'll be a lot closer to go to Blackwing.
