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

Model 1911 A1 .45 Automatic: If you don't like this firearm, you need to quit studying, or you better have a better reason than "it's too plain" You can shave one down for concealed carry, or you can attach a carbine stock to one. 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.

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!

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.

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.

Not quite done with the page. Will continue at a later date.
