    Concealed carry identification?

    Let's not forget that 4 LEOs were shot and killed in Parkland, WA last week for nothing more than (...all together, now...) wearing a badge. I'm certain that most LEOs would frown on the idea of a CCW badge more than they would appreciate the forewarning that you may be carrying. You would be...

    black oxide after parkerizing?

    Are you sure it is the solution reacting? I've used cheap stainless pots before with thin bottoms and they seem to temporarily warp when they reach a certain temperature, usually with the sudden "bang" you describe, then do it again as it cools. It's like the bottom suddenly goes from concave to...

    My Walther P38 Exploded today.

    Thanks guys... I'll blame whoever brought this thread back to life... Guess what happened to me on Saturday. During a family range outing on Thanksgiving weekend, I picked up my dad's P38. My dad and brother had already put a box through it. I loaded it from a box of reloads I had in my bag...

    Law enforcement trade in

    My dad was shopping some police trade in Glocks last year and encountered a unique opportunity. He was able to score two 22's with consecutive serial numbers.

    Gun safe lighting??

    When I installed my safe, I thought I had the perfect place. I put it in a corner bound by two exterior walls with the opening side of the door towards the wall to resist pry attacks. I quickly found out that I could not see a thing in my safe in that position. I went to home depot and...

    How is a handgun possible in your EDC...

    Funny... I was looking this up just the other day. There is a bill currently (I think) in Texas legislation that will allow you to keep you firearm secured in your vehicle regardless of company policies, given a few circumstances. In so many words, you will need to provide your direct manager...

    Accidental Discharge (Graphic Pics)

    Perhaps someone could correct me with the lastest trend, but just as I was getting out of the LEO world there was an increasing trend of departments requiring that the term "accident" be replaced with "crash" for all accidents/crashes involving automobiles. Undoubtedly, this was due to possible...

    ATTN: iPhone users, how do you utilize this device in your shooting hobby?

    A smartphone WITHOUT a microphone doesn't sound very smart at all! :neener: "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!?!" Sorry. Don't mean any offense. I'm just a new guy making jokes...

    Stupid question of the week: What's "galling"?

    If you want to see galling in action (though not how it relates to firearms), go to the hardware store and buy a 5/8" bolt and nut, both in 316 stainless steel. Go home, spin them together and apply 150 - 200 ft-lbs of torque. Then try to get them apart. You will likely find that they have...

    HELP! Custom Hard Case

    I've never owned a custom gun case, but where I work we get some really nice transport cases from Opti-case in Houston. I've been impressed with their custom designed cases. The thick foam padding is always cut with extrememly tight tolerances and they will design pretty much anything you want...
