A few questions

Glockster

Can anyone give me a list of all revolvers that can shoot 9mm - either with the use of moon clips or inherently? Other than the Taurus sub nose ones. I was going to get their Triad 627 model, but they discontinued it :-(

Also, can anyone give me a list of all sub compact semi auto's that have a manual safety switch (other than the Tomcat and PT22) ? I noticed that the Kel Tec's and Kahr's don't. What about Seecamp, NAA, Rohrbaugh or any of the others?

Finally, does the Ruger P90 support a double stack magazine? I was looking at the 15 shot from ProMag - and was wondering if that sticks out of the grip any.

Does anyone have a link to a full and complete guide on different types of ammunition that explains ammo size and acronyms used for both guns and ammo?

What causes a gun to jam and stop firing and whats the best and quickest way to fix it?

Why does a gun go off on its own?

Whats is the best place to store ammo?

Anyone have a link to something that explains gun parts?

Anyone know a site that tests out guns and ammo?

I would of used the search feature but I cant get to it. It would of saved me and you all a lot of time.
Thank you all for your help.

Try "the search feature" on Google.com. Specific questions will be rewarded with specific answers.

Guns don't "go off" by themselves! There has to be some outside factor or parts failure to cause this unlikely occurence! The best place to store ammo?...a cool, dark, dry place under lock and key to avoid prying hands. Sorry but the rest of your questions are too vague to approach. Try being a bit more specific and the kind people here will likely be a bit more forthcoming. Try sorting out the miasma of info on the Google search

Buy a reloading manual, it will give you specs on ammo and usually the history of the cartridge.

Operator error causes guns to jam. It's a simple tool, if you don't know it's simplistic operation...put it down and get a book on that tool.

Guns don't go off on their own. Modern cartridges have these things called primers that need a firing pin to strike them to ignite the powder. They can't go off without someone pulling the trigger or a severe mechanical problem- see a gunsmith.

Best place to store ammo is in a locked container to keep your kids out of it.

You want explanation of gun parts? Pretty simple. The barrel is usually a tube with rifling to spin the bullet for accuracy. The bolt is what locks the cartridge into the barrel. The trigger activates the hammer. The safety is well the safety.

A site that tests guns and ammo? For what? Pick up a magazine off of a newstand. There are opinions on every firearm.

Try searching on Yahoo, or Google.

There are websites dedicated to nearly every type of firearm there is without info for you.

What firearm are you looking for information on?

Dang, Is school out for summer already ?

If you own a firearm already, you should take a NRA safety course. It will not only teach you proper safety & handling of firearms, it will also teach you better marksmanship. If you do not own a firearm, it is still a worthwhile course. NRA membership is $35/year. I'm not sure what the classes run, but I'm guessing around $50-75.

Hello:
I've read "GLOCKSTER'S" other posts. Glockster seems to know alot about handguns and links. I think the Captain is right . . . we're probably getting stroked . . . and I know we have not been kissed!

All these might not work .. if not, just chop off the end of the link and start searching.
Get back to us in a few months.

I've been shooting for a year and still have not COMPLETELY understood my 1911.
