    SKS or 870 for bear defense?

    The only wildlife we ended up seeing were a few birds & some deer. Seems there was much ado about nothing.

    SKS or 870 for bear defense?

    Thanks for all the advice & comments. The only reason I brought this up is that in 2000, AZG&F counted 28 adult black bears in a 3 square mile area, This was due to wildfires in the surrounding wilderness causing the usually solitary bears to share the unburned area. Even considering the...

    SKS or 870 for bear defense?

    My Glock 20 is my primary backcountry companion, but I'm going to a 'bear dense' area this weekend & I'm looking for opinions on which longarm would be best to take along. SKS w/ milsurp FMJ -or- 870 w/ 00 buck & slugs

    Token survivalist...

    I realize that it isn't a real generator or very hardcore survivalist, But I've got one of these & I've used it from time to time: It lives in my truck, but it's useful around the house too.

    Pregnancy and guns

    Congratulations! When my daughter was born, I became keeper of the diaper bag. I continued to carry on my person, but I did add extra ammo, a 2nd flashlight & sometimes a 2nd handgun in the diaper bag. Since then, a few things from the diaper bag have made their way into my range bag. Wet...

    "In the Gravest Extreme" out of print?

    A great book, but I'd like to see it updated. Maybe a 2nd volume with current info. A lot of things have changed over the last 25 years.

    Self Defense loads in shotgun

    I don't know how well 00 buck performs against armor, but I'm sure that a slug (even if it doesn't penetrate) would pretty much gelatinize a 'soft' target.

    Rule 5: Don't Carry FALs While You're Tripping On LSD

    Youthful indiscretions I can only speak from my experience, but while tripping I couldn't even work the CD player to change the CD. I couldn't figure out the buttons and the little lights were just too much. Now smoking weed and/or drinking while shooting is another story altogether. We used...

    Can my CCW get confiscated?

    I have a similar philosophy. My primary carry is a Glock 26, purchased new from a dealer with documentaion. My backup is a Glock 26, purchased slightly used from an individual. My 'other' backup is a Glock 26, purchased very used from an individual. My primary and backup are...

    Calling All Sheepdogs...

    I happen to like the basic Sheepdog analogy, but some folks take it way to far. I guess since I'm not an LEO, I'm just a 'sheep with teeth' and I think I'm okay with that. I'm certainly no Samurai; less Bushido, more 'I aim to misbehave'. :D Don't get me wrong, if I saw someone in trouble...

    DIY light tent for photography

    I forgot to mention thet I didn't glue mine together so I can change the dimensions as needed. I clamp one of the top lights on each cross member, one towards the front and one towards the back to reduce shadows. One side light clamps on each front leg, one near the top and one near the...

    DIY light tent for photography

    I made one using this as a starting piont: http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/light_box_light_tent Mine's 3/4 PVC because that's what I had, and I made a few mods. 1. I placed my cross members towards the center, roughly dividing it into thirds. 2. I made the back about 2" wider on each...

    Help - need snubby sight mods/upgrades

    Thank you Rob, that's it. I'm looking for ideas for improving the front sight on a Taurus 905 revolver.

    Help - need snubby sight mods/upgrades

    There are at least half a dozen alternatives when it comes to changing the sights on a Glock. What to do with a snubby? Specificcaly a Taurus 905, and possibly a 650 & 850. I'm sure I could spend a small fortune having fiber optics installed or I could just paint the front sight with some...

    Great Idea for a gun cabinet...

    I'm a cheap bastid, but... I've always toyed with the idea of turning an old refrigerator into a gun cabinet and/or ammo locker. They can usually be had for next to nothing, well insulated, near air tight, and they look like they belong in a pantry/garage/basement as a second fridge. Throw a...

    .30 carbine

    My .30 carbine Blackhawk packs quite a wallop. I'd say it's about equal to a .357, just not as many load options (barring roll-your-own).

    Limited edition/collectable firearms

    I'm considering buying a limited edition/collectable firearm. I understand that shooting it would ruin it's 'value', but at the same time I can't see buying a gun and NOT shooting it. Does anybody have a collector that the shoot? Why or why not?
