    Navy pistol and Rifle quals for Newbs that want a challenge.

    Yeah, it's not that it's "non essential", it's that: A. The holstering part is off the clock, and should NOT be rushed. And, B. The weak hand transition, while a worthwile skill, is not a basic level one, and should be a monitored evolution, especially for novice shooters. As a SAMI...

    Navy pistol and Rifle quals for Newbs that want a challenge.

    Rather than copy it (the A target), you could just print them out from the OPNAVINST. Also, the zeroing target for the rifle is widely available online as well.

    $300 NRA life membership

    First, much thanks to Acera for his "sponsorship" and quick response, and to PT92 for his offer. Second, the process couldn't have been easier. Phone person indicated that there was only a couple of days left, but otherwise asked for just a little info and it was done, with a promise of...

    $300 NRA life membership

    So, forgive the "johnny come lately" response, but what exactly has to happen for the $300 Life membership, is it still available, and who do I have to plead with?

    Ruger LCP - Reliable SD Ammo Choices

    Most of the data I've managed to find seems to indicate that the vast majority of .380 HP's will not penetrate to at least 12". One of the few that does so in tests is the Federal 90 grain Hydra Shok. Since it's an older design, many folks snub the round in favor of the DPX or something newer...

    ccw at disney world

    There is no legal prohibition on carrying in Disney World, either in state or federal law. As long as you avoid bars, and possibly the detention facility (could be construed as a jail....) you aren't breaking any laws. You are violating Disney policy and that is it. Now, if you are noted to...

    Marvel Unit 1 vs. Unit 2 conversions

    I have the Unit 2 Gov round top, and am running it on top of my Springfield Loaded carry gun. A couple of tidbits: 1. I found out the hard way that Springfield puts a 23lb mainspring in with their ILS as standard while Marvel uses a 17lb regular mainspring in their base frame for testing. My...

    proposed federal high cap. mag ban

    In my opinion, "reasonable restrictions" are some of the most potentially dangerous, because on the surface they seem as their name, reasonable. Take, for example, the idea of mandating training in order to exercise your second amendment rights. It sounds perfectly reasonable, I mean, after...

    proposed federal high cap. mag ban

    Another place where I'm absolutely flabbergasted at Washington stupidity is in this 1000ft ban. Ok, putting aside for a moment the plethora of reasons why a gun/assault weapon/carry/or magazine ban is immoral, unconstitutional, unfeasible and useless, I can at least understand the gut reaction...

    proposed federal high cap. mag ban

    MWisnieski, Your "nukes" question can be answered via two avenues: #1. Using the different meanings of the words "arms" and of "ordinance", available at the time of the founders, a successful point could be made that the protected "arms" consist of weapons usable by an individual soldier...

    Columbine crime scene and investigation

    Does anyone have any data about the Columbine crime scene, (Think CSI) or the subsequent investigation? These are both for a College course and my Google-fu is weak. Thanks

    Pretty Decent CCW article in Kitsap Sun Newspaper today

    Today there was a pretty good article in the local paper, The Kitsap Sun, here. All-in-all, surprising for a Washington State newspaper. Pretty positive comments too, mostly.

    TSA experience - re. handgun checking

    As far as intent of the post goes, Musher hit it right on. I wanted to emphasize the importance of knowing the laws and regulations whenever you do something which may stand even a small chance of being questioned. And really, between flying, Open Carry, Concealed Carry, and activism of any...

    TSA experience - re. handgun checking

    I recently flew from Seattle-Tacoma to Dallas Love field and back again for my leave period. My Springfield 1911 was locked in a Lifejacket case and I had, as always printed out every bit of documentation I could find. (TSA Regs, Carrage requirements, Southwest rules, etc.) The initial...

    How to carry on a golf course?

    I usually carry my 1911 IWB while I'm golfing. Of course, I tend to loose my focus and was picking up a putt, when one of my buddies informed me that I was badly printing during my retrieval. Or you could throw one of these:http://www.bloomautomatic.com/index_files/page0004.htm on your...

    Remington 742 disassembly help!

    So, the entering argument for this problem is the receiver upside down, sans barrel and trigger group. If you look at the bolt handle from beneath, you will see a small pin securing it to the bolt body. Using an appropriately sized brass punch, drive the pin out, bottom to top, (the pin is...

    M14 Match Rifles

    Why, yes it is. And I also liked the fat wood on "my" rifle. She's a Winchester by the way. The trigger has easy weight with a distinct 2nd stage which breaks very cleanly. If I could stop trying to snatch x's, then I would be good to go.
