About YNH

"Firearms are like pets, you feed them, you clean them, you take care of them. If you are responsible, they can be your best friends. They can be used for recreation, defense, or just because you feel easier when they are around. And all without any urine stains on the carpet."

About 90 percent of the time, you are either a gun nut who has been shooting since you were five, or a 20 something punk who just picked up an M&P 40 for his house, who is probably just gonna go shoot it with his girlfriend. I'm neither. I come from a non gun family, in a non gun community, where the gunless think you are violent and dangerous, and the ones packing think you're incompetent. At a young age, it's hard to be accepted by anyone let alone two sides to a community of something as big and controversial as this. Glad it doesn't stop me from doing what I do. The handful of nonjudgmental people I talk to at ranges or stores, or even online, know that I am not just a kid who plays too much Counterstrike. I know my stance, and my firearms inside and out. I have detail stripped all of them at one time or another and taken out every carbon and dust particle visible. I am not a marksman, I'm not, but I have, what, 60, 70 years to get better? And yet, some dude who can barely field strip that M&P, and who doesn't clean it after every trip, gets more recognition and respect than I do. Anyhow, I've only been doing this for three, very frustrating years. I am better than a lot of people at this, but by what I consider "standards" still not good. II learn new information with everything I handle and everything I read, and I think that the least other gun fanatics can do, is be able to identify a gun, and that's what this website is all about.

Favorite Handguns (in no particular order)

Model 1911 A1 .45 Automatic: If you don't like this firearm, you need to quit studying, or you better have a reason other than "it's too plain" You can shave one down for concealed carry, or you can turn it into a carbine. They have models which fire everything from .22 to .50 Caliber bullets, with different internal and external parts to fit your shooting curve. Don't like the safety? Get another one? Trigger's tough? Adjust it. Jams? It shouldn't. If it does, fix your extractor/ejector, or your stance accordingly. Hammer snag? Get a bobbed one. You can do ANYTHING to one. It's been tested in combat and competition and has proven itself in both. Screw Glock and Beretta, this is the greatest handgun of ALL TIME.

Browning Hi-Power: Damn this thing never gets old. 70 years and it's still a high end 9mm. Now we can stuff 15 rounds into it too, so, along with it's renowned performance and beauty, it's one of the best 9s you can buy. Rumor has it that the original schematic Browning had was a 16 round striker fired pistol. Eat your heart out, Gaston.

Smith and Wesson "Classic" Automatics: Namely the 59 series and 3rd Generations. They are not very recognized, but they will work all day, everyday, no problem. Combat accuracy, bluing for class, or stainless steel for duty. I have heard people have problems with wondernines, I have witnessed a Beretta jam after each shot, but I have never heard or seen any problems with these types of guns. They get the job done.

Colt Python .357 Magnum: Aside from it's flawless aesthetics, it's got the smoothest action of any revolver I have handled. Colt is renowned for this, and the Python itself. They should be.

Smith and Wesson Revolvers: These gun do the duties the Python is too ritzy to do. Colt revolvers are delicate, beautiful, and elegant. Smiths are beaters that you can shoot without a hitch. The actions are tougher, but so are the guns. If they're good enough for Jerry Miculek, they're good enough for you and I. My favorite models are the 15, 19, 25, 27, 28, 29, 36, 60, 66, 581, 586, 681, 686, basically the popular ones. Can't go wrong with Smith and Wesson, baby!

IMI Jericho 941: It's carried by Spike Spiegel, and my good friend whom I address as Mikhail. Fits tight, great sights, built like a tank, and best of all, it fits in the hand great. I got to mess with an original one with the =JERICHO 941= on the fram instead of the Desert Eagle Pistol crap. Got my respect.

CZ Series: Not the Zastavas, the real CZs, like the 75 and 97. Accurate as hell, and easy enough on the eyes. Cheaper than a Glock too, and much better than one. Mags fit in a Jericho too.

Beretta M9/92 Series: They look great, shoot great, feel great. Everyone loves this gun. Cops, Military, Mel Gibson, Keanu Reeves. I myself want an Inox model.

SIG P226 9mm: I have had good experiences with this little bugger. It's a beater, but if you see one, whoever's got it means business. I feel that the Smith 5906 does everything this gun does, and is about half the price, but it deserves reverence for it's extensive resume, and as they say, "to hell and back" reliability.

Glock 17 2nd Gen: Ah yes, the epitome of the handgun. It lacks safety features and extravagances like finger grooves and the tacrail on it's 3rd Gen cousin, and it's black cubic appearance makes it ideal for smooth drawing and, in some cases, concealability. It will shoot when you pull the trigger, because that's what it's supposed to do. 17 rounds doesn't hurt it either, just whoever's at the other end.

FN Five seveN: Not because I play too much CS, but because this thing holds 20 rounds of hyper accurate, light kicking ammo that can pierce body armor. If it weren't so expensive, I'd advise everyone to get one.

Favorite long guns (in no particular order)

AK-47: As far as the AK/M16 argument goes, I am on the AK's side, hands down, or hands up rather. Accuracy does not mean a damn thing if your gun WILL NOT FIRE. No, it's not an accurate rifle, and you might not hit someone in excess of 100 yards, or be able to kill them at 300, but it's not meant for long range, it's meant for putting as many rounds down range as humanly and mechanically possible. It is a machinegun, and a killing weapon first, and a rifle and target tapper second. If I have to have one feature in a firearm, it's extreme workmanship, and not how far it can reach out and touch someone.

M16-A1:Yes, it has a bad reputation, but it's got personality a plenty. Your dad carried this black menace in 'Nam. Hell, it might have been you. Though it might not work, it does a decent job when it does. Accuracy, lightweight, and lower recoil make it a decent killing gun. Granted the 5.56 round is not too hot, it's designed to apply the maximum amount of damage without a fatality. Thanks NATO. Why kill the guy when you can get him on the floor and have a medic drag him to safety, where he'll most likely bleed out? Politically correct murder, in a triangular plastic and metal mechanical mediocrity. God Bless America.

Karabiner 98 Kurz: Kicks pretty hard, and only 5 shots, but the silky smooth bolt made the Springfield '03, the Remington 700 and M40 series, the M24, and several other cool, overplayed bolt action rifles.

MG-42: This thing is almost too scary to even compliment. 8mm Mauser at 1200 rounds a minute. Ironically, it sounds kinda like a natural and majestic waterfall when fired. Pity it's not. Call in a sniper, buddy, you're not getting around it.

FN FAL and L1A1: Battle rifles rule. This was the first. The M16 stole "black rifle" from this .30 caliber monster. The left side charging handle always appealed to me on this one.

HK G3/HK 91 Series: How do we make the above better? This is it. Love the HK trigger group, and the bolt locking mechanism. Also, factory magazines are 3 dollars a piece on CTD. If I were to have a SHTF rifle other than an AK, this would be it.

Remington 870 Series: Namely the Marine Magnum. Seven shells, tight build, lustrous finish, and you can toss it into seawater and it doesn't care. Throw a surefire on as the foregrip and we have us a premium pumper.

Winchester 1300: My other buddy swears by his, and I have to say it's up there with the shotguns. Almost bought one in Oregon, but someone snaked it. Ended up getting something else anyhow.

Benelli M4: The same guy that owns the 1300 got one of these, and he loves it even more. The sights on it are to die for, and 7+1 is fantastic (his is 6+1 thanks to his +2 shell cap increaser, should have gotten the +3). Nothing beats this semiautomatic shotgun.

Remington 1100 TAC 4: It's like the 1100 you use to hunt, but it holds 9 shots (8+1). One bad Shotgun.

Favorite Subguns

HK MP5 Series: Come on, it's the MP5.

IMI UZI Series: Quick 9mm rounds in a small weapon. 3 sizes makes this bugger fun for the whole family.

Thompson Series: It's a bit bulky for me, but we've seen a Corleone get his junk blown off by it, and your grandfather carried one in WWII. It's made it's mark.
