Welcome to my world, it includes ALOT of guns

just... why?

[zagibu]

But how do single action guns work, then? Aren't they simply double action without the possibility to pull the hammer back with the trigger? I read on wikipedia that original revolvers are "single action", and as far as I know, you always had to manually pull back the hammer first.

Pull hammer back, pull trigger.(2 actions, but each HAS to be done seperately for fire) Pulling the hammer back on a single action, would also cycle the bullet in the chamber, hence another reason it had to be done.

Double Action does all of that for you.

[Zomg]

you are right alot of firearms will have additional safety measures built in to either the grip, or a push button/lever for the safety, though id truly recommend if you are carrying this concealed not to have those, as if the time arises that it needs pulled, you need to be able to fire it instantly, not flicking and pushing buttons for 5 more seconds while the world around you falls down.  If you plan on using this for a home defense gun, then by all means safety is paramount, you have the children, the wife/gf, and others who could harm themselves so having these features is a better safer way of keeping a handgun at the ready when you have the time to turn those safeties off and use the weapon.

to answer the other question, no you wouldnt want to leave the hammer cocked back, because the problem is the trigger becomes ultra sensitive at that point, and is under the requirement of between a 3-6lbs draw normally or lighter if it was built custom with a feather draw.  The other problem is, leaving it cocked the whole time could lead to the possibility of the hammer falling from something failing internally, dropping the hammer and firing the round, better to not leave it to fate to shoot yourself or someone else by accidental discharge.

If I am not wrong, you are not allowed to have a loaded firearms in many US States. And those who allow loaded firearms (clips), they also do not allow the owners to have a firearm with a bullet in its chambers. Am I wrong?

 yes single action requires the hammer to be cocked back every time, double action is allowing the trigger to pull the hammer back, which in modern firearms is only the first trigger pull which then the slide resets the hammer every time.

most states during transportation of the firearm dont allow it to be loaded, if you have a permit to carry it, i wouldnt see why they wouldnt allow it to be loaded lol, would defeat the purpose i would think, but then again, some states makes dumb laws, so this could indeed be true, however in my state it is not.

just... why?

well most of it is for hunting, the other half of it is collecting them, kind of like a hobby of mine, i collect them because i think they are appealing, and i can also trade them for large sums of cash.  I dont think they would depreciate nearly the same as say a stamp, baseball card, or action figure might do.

Also i own guns because i must, because it is my job.

But why are you then recommending single action over double action if the latter can do the same? I mean, the first trigger pull thing is something you can do IN ADDITION to manually pulling the hammer back, right?

no no lol im not, im telling them to not buy a double action modern pistol, get one without a hammer. Modern pistols(not revolvers) come in two options, hammer exposed(double action), hammerless(still double action per se, but the hammer is internal, or non existent within the firearm).  Im telling them to get a hammerless pistol, less things to do to go bang.  I apologize for any confusion lol, normally the term single action is a sole reference to a revolver where each shot required the hammer to be pulled before firing, where as the double action was a term that was kind of drug into the modern firearms vocabulary because of the way they were initially constructed, most firearms having been made with a hammer, to mimic revolvers.

Glock, note the hammerless design(upon inserting the magazine and pulling the slide back, you have chambered a round, and the firing pin has been pulled back and is now ready to fire, upon discharging, the slide resets the pin again, allowing another shot, and so on and so forth)

The guns are cool and all, but that air hockey table is amazing.

Question. In your State, are you allowed to buy or/and use full metal jacket rounds, in addition to hollow-point rounds? As I did not make a research and want to know it as a fact. Some EU Countries, mostly eastern, uses FMJ Rounds while western EU Countries and US Police, at any level, uses hollow-point, to reduce the risk of getting by-standers shot as well.

An another question, again, regarding the bullets and gun itself. Is there any regulations for different bullets with different diameters, like .45 and 9mm? That also goes for higher caliber weapons.

You can't always see a gun enthusiast that is open to answer many questions. So I will keep bombarding you with some more.

no problem

we caught it on sale for like 100 bucks, its pretty cool, my only gripe is that it needs a more powerful fan to really push a ton of air through, its not as strong as those industrial ones at the arcades.

My state has no such restrictions on ammunition with the exception of soft tip rounds for hunting, however the state of New Jersey does, and actually i think its the only state that has such a restriction in the whole country.  The state of New Jersey bans possession of hollow point bullets by civilians except for ammunition possessed at one's dwelling, premises or other land owned or possessed. The law also requires all hollow point ammunition to be transported directly from the place of purchase to one's home, or by members of a rifle or pistol club directly to a place of target practice, or directly to an authorized target range from the place of purchase or one's home.

There isnt any sort of regulation on the the caliber of firearm as much as there is a regulation on the firearms themselves.  I think the only thing you cant own in Maryland are grenade launchers, bazookas, flamethrowers, lol essentially all the extreme things, and even those i think you can own as long as you get a license for them.

This link shows which weapons they have regulated, but none of them have restrictions on owning them, so to own one is as simple as filling out the paperwork and passing.  Well until October 31st anyways, as thatll be when Maryland's new gun law goes in to effect banning the sale of all assault style weapons.
