    Handloading the 7.62x54R

    Loading 7.62x54R ...... You really should slug your barrel to see, exactly, what diameter your bore truly is. This is a must, if you decide to start using cast bullets. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem loading everything from 110gr to 220gr in my M-44 Mosin. But, my personal handloads...

    gun in a handbag

    Purse carry? Two gun charlie - You're right on. There is no reason for a woman to carry a weapon in her purse. Understandably, there are soooooo many options available that cater to a womans curves, there is no reason for any female to not carry IWB, or OWB. I know, and have spoken to...

    My first use of pepper spray

    Pepper spray, my .02 worth .......... Folks, As a retired police officer, I've used a few cans of pepper spray in my tenure. The one thing I learned, is that pepper spray only works under ideal circumstances. Indoors, probably not much draft, unless the air conditioning is on or a room...

    Field Holster for large/heavy Handguns?

    Slugging bore

    Slugging the bore..... I cut open 00 buckshot for any .30 caliber rifle. I think the actual size of the buckshot is .32 caliber; I guess in theory, buckshot should be good for anything 308 to 312, but I've only used it in my300 and 308. Just my .02 worth. HiVelocity

    7.62x39 in an Ar-15

    Ugh, what a combination............... Just my .02 worth. This combo just stinks all the way around. Even the Colt 20 round mags will only hold 5 rounds if you want it to work worth a darn. To make this combo work, find some Frankenmags [AR mags mated to AK mag lower mags]. Why not just...

    Do you have a strategy when buying guns for HD/SD?

    Oops, one more......... Regarding your shotgun. Your 97 Clone will work fine, if you train with it first and become proficient. Birdshot, not buckshot or slugs, are all you'll need in the distances inside a normal home. The birdshot will not penetrate sheetrock unless you shoot point...

    It happened again

    Just my .02 worth......... Folks, I agree with "FixYurGun". An axe, or sledge hammer, handle is probably the best idea. You can perfect your strikes and jabs to prevent yourself from becoming the innocent victim in this event. A healthy strike across the bridge of the nose will send the...
