    pink pistols (activist group)

    I've looked in on Pink Pistols now and again over the past few years since first hearing about them, and my conclusion had been that they were effectively defunct - if that is not in fact the case, I'm very happy to hear it!

    Almost thought I was in yet another bad situation last night

    Hokay, found it. That... is just about the weirdest thing I've ever heard. :scrutiny:

    Almost thought I was in yet another bad situation last night

    Even with Phoenix being Chicago-on-the-Mojave, I find it rather interesting that I can't find any news coverage of this incident, or anything even remotely resembling it. Where did this occur?

    Kalashnikov-USA

    I can haz domestic Saiga-12? :D

    The best 12ga 00 buck for burglars & blackguards...

    Hoo boy, another one of these threads. If you're enough of a simpleton to believe that a projectile with nearly no mass will still be deadly simply because it's got some velocity behind it, you may as well sell off your guns for gas money, drive down to Wal*mart and pick up a $60 Daisy rifle...

    Composite gun parts..Ideas?

    A set of carbon fiber 1911 grips would be pretty cool, and you'd probably be able to sell 'em in a hurry afterwards if so inclined.

    upgrading my 870

    If it's an 870 Express, then all you need to do is rub some petroleum jelly into the parkerizing and wipe it off. Park isn't really a protective finish in and of itself, but a porous surface coating that will retain a protectant once applied. As to everything else, you appear to be vastly...

    SAN DIEGO going there ....?

    I haven't been awfully near the border, but I imagine there's a very large and very conspicuous Border Patrol presence and consequently very little of whatever wild-West shenanigans you might be worried about. The rest of San Diego and environs are as safe as the equivalent area in any other...

    Does anyone have a vz.58 SBR?

    Got me interested, so I did a quick Googlin' for "short barrel vz 58" (since I'd never seen one either) and it seems like at least a few folks have had the same idea. Looks pretty cool - reminds me of an upsized Skorpion. I don't know how practical it would be, but when has that ever stopped...

    Just in time for Father's Day... Jesse James custom rifle

    Sam pretty much took it. I only thought I hated the "look at my overlubricated, factory new Doorbuster 3000!" stuff until I saw this. Now I realize that compared to my newfound feelings on poser battle damage, it barely even registers. Get a crate of these down to the MOPED* group in...

    22LR for concealed carry?

    I think you're distinctly in the minority. I'd estimate that I ran through 12k+ rounds of .22LR in the couple years before the ammo market (and especially rimfire) went TU, and I had a whole lot more than one or two misfires. The California desert is covered in live .22 rounds, many with rim...

    Purchased a locked safe, and need advice on affordable safe cracking!

    Guys - the safe has already been opened. Welcome to THR. Reading is fundamental.

    Purple Pistol Purchase,,,

    Hey, easy enough to do yourself with some painter's tape and model airplane paint, or probably even a Sharpie. Good suggestion, though! Other'n that, color's just another personal preference. Me, I think guys who paint their carry/HD guns camo and coyote tan (or FDE or whatever they're calling...

    My first use of pepper spray

    So the solution is to aim for the cat instead? :evil:

    Using AK or FAL for Home Defense

    Run-on sentences are bad, m'kay. Plinking with a FAL is going to be a very loud and expensive endeavor. Plinking with an AK is probably not going to be the most satisfying thing in the world, owing to the crappy sights and so-so accuracy. Take Dr. Rob's advice and get yourself a .22 rifle -...

    why bolt-action in WW2?

    You realize, of course, that those numbers take into account rounds expended for suppressing fire and whatever other uses... right?

    Price check beat up wingmaster

    Ain't it true... I'd agree with $150-200 if the gun is in good mechanical condition. There are plenty enough 870s out there not to bother with a high-priced fudge job.

    Front sight suggestions for remington 870 express?

    XS offers tritium night sights that will simply epoxy on over your existing bead. Whether that is an adequate mounting solution or whether you should take further steps to secure the sight (soldering, etc.) is up for debate, but it's about as simple an upgrade as you'll find, and adds to the...

    Maverick 88 or interstate arms defender?

    Winchester ammo is well known to cause hang-ups in 870s. Tell your buddy to switch to Federal or Remington shells (nominal, if any, price in crease) and he should be good to go. :)

    $3.68 Home Made Self Defense Spray

    If you throw homemade salsa into someone's eyes, the prosecutor will argue that you specifically formulated your salsa to cause as much damage as possible and you WILL go to jail. My buddy who's a cop told me this. Stick to factory salsa.
