    I have been browsing the classified ads here and see "FTF" quite often. What does it mean?

    In boating it means "Failure to Float"...as in "When my mother-in-law fell over the side during that tight turn, she experienced FTF"...

    In NATO it means F*** The French!

    Of course, NATO itself means Not After Two O'Clock unless it is Friday, then it's Not After Twelve O'Clock!

    FTF = eyeball to eyeball, seller to buyer. Ability to discern if either is lawfully able to conduct firearm transaction, actually see and hold firearm to evaluate, form an opinion of the honesty and value of the fireartm, and to eliminate the BATF's red tape and paperwork as well as their record on file of the transaction.

    I can certainly appreciate that.

    You guys are going to think me crazy but I've got my eye out for an inexpensive 38 revolver. I love that weapon. You guys have some really really really nice hardware. Some of it I will never be able to obtain. I sure would like to put one of those AR-15s together.

    Not crazy. It's a great idea to buy whatever floats your boat because that's what you'll practice with the most. If revolvers are your thing, then go for it. Academy had Rossi .38s on sale this past weekend for $207. Dunno if the sale is still going or not, but they'll probably have it again in a few months.

    Thank You and I will certainly go look and keep my eye on Academy. I dont know why but I never have Academy in mind when considering a weapon.

    I bought a nice taurus SS Model 85, 38 special 5 shot. I like it for a truck gun. For all the bad press, I think 38 special is a prety nice load.
