    Wolf Steel Cased Ammo Bad for My Colt AR?

    Colonel Cooper in one of his last columns mentioned that in WWII, steel case ammo was issued for the .45 auto. He said standard practice for savvy combat vets was to put a drop of oil on the top cartridge. I'm guessing this would apply to .223 as well, though in my experience with my Bushmaster...

    R. Mika's business must be good!

    As good as his holsters are, Robert Mika is even better. He's a gentleman, honest beyond belief, and a skilled craftsman. I've dealt with Robert several times now. The biggest problem I have is he constantly gives things away. If you tell him not to, he says... "This is my business and I'll...

    .223 55 gr 28 cents American Ammunition

    Doc2005, I'd sure like to know where you are finding Wolf .223 for $74 for 500. I'd snap some of that up.

    Anyone else having trouble with the S&W Forum today?

    The title says it all. I get a blank page when I try to log on. Is this happening to anyone else?

    Which Should I get?

    How about a GP100 in Blue? A used one would be a good value, and a 4" or 6" barrel would be great. I also love my Model 10. The officer who owned it before me had a nice action job done on it, and it has the sweetest double action trigger of all my guns. I tend to like the older guns

    Merry Christmas to me...and a 1917

    iamkris, nice looking 1917. I have one too and it's one of my favorite revolvers. Welcome back to the "dark side" :)

    The best all around handgun?

    I'd go with the Ruger GP100. I have one, and it's rugged and accurate with a 4" barrel and adjustable sights. I'm small, but carry the Ruger concealed quite well in a Strong (brand) pancake holster (Other top quality pancake OWB hollsters will do the job) and a good gunbelt. I've hunted...

    Mosin Nagant recoil?

    I can put 100 rounds through my 91/30 without feeling sore. I'd rather shoot that many rounds from a 91/30 than to shoot 5 or 6 rounds from a 12 gauge. The 12 gage, especially in single shot, is a monster

    My thoughts on the Beretta M1934 as CCW

    I have a Beretta 34, .380, and a Beretta 35 (same design) .32 caliber. I also have a Colt Mustang. I've carried the 34 for a CCW. I to like the fit in my hand, but it is a brick to carry. It is very heavy after a very short time carrying. Without a good belt holster you won't want to drag it...

    Gartman Arms

    John, I can only tell you a little bit. Gartman Arms has been in Plainville, MA all my life (50 years) There is an old German guy who owns the place and his sign says custom deep hole drilling. He has quite an extensive collection of fairly rare firearms on his walls, but seems content to not...

    My new baby

    Playboy, what caliber is he/she? (I call all mine she) Congrats on your new gun, It's not the Cassull you wanted is it? Looks like a 45 Long Colt or a 44 Mag to me.

    How to get someone to not freak out

    I think you should duct tape her into a rocking chair and put a gun duct taped into each hand and keep her there until she begs you to take her to the range! (I sure hope you all know I'm kidding!!!!) Actually, I'd say keep the guns out of her sight. Don't talk about them too much. I've...

    Pocket Carry -My Problem.

    I carry a 442 in my pocket most of the time. If I didn't trust it 100% to only fire when I pull the trigger, I wouldn't carry it. I wouldn't want it going off in my pocket and going into my thigh or knee. Nevermind hitting someone else, the gun points at me more than anyone. My nice Mika...

    Value of S&W K22 Pre-17 5-Screw?

    Hammerdown, I love that Bull Barrel 5" Mod 17. That's got to be the sweetest handling gun you could find. If it balances any better than a Bull Barrel Mod 10, I just have to start looking for one. I'll bet that 5" is hard to come by. Thanks for sharing those nice pix.

    22LR Revolvers in California?

    I'd keep my eye out for a used S&W Model 17 .22 or maybe a Model 34 or 63 Kit gun. They are around all the time.They are worth whatever you have to pay for them in California, but here in Massachusetts, any one of them would run $300-$400 in great condition. I'm sure other people would have...

    How to spot a ccw holder?

    I like to look for other CCW people because I think it helps me hide mine better. It's also fun to make someone and point it out to my wife as if to say, "See, it's a good thing I'm carrying" or "I may need a better carry gun." As for clip pocket knives, I keep mine at the bottom of my weak...
