    Securing your defensive pistol(s) on a budget

    Found a great deal today on a quick open electronic strong box suitable for pistols. This solves the age old problem of keeping firearms loaded and ready to defend yourself with but out of the reach of children and curious visitors for a very reasonable price. It is a little large at 5.38h x...

    Longer barrel = more recoil?

    I have always heard that the bigger the gun, the less recoil. Well I'm here to tell you, it ain't so! I agree this might be true with heavy barreled guns, but that's not what I'm experiencing now. I've had two short barreled .45s, a Springfield Micro Compact and more recently a Taurus...

    Vulcan Arms AR-180 clone

    I know Vulcan Arms is known as a less than stellar AR-15 manufacturer, but has anyone any first or second hand knowledge of their AR-180 clone? The reason I am interested in one is that they have chrome lined barrels and a 16" carbine version, both things I want (especially the chrome barrel)...

    Is it loaded?

    If I have a loaded magazine in an extra mag holder attached to my carbine, or by the same token shotgun shells in a side saddle on the shotgun stock, but no magazines in the breech area or shells in the tube, is the gun considered loaded? This is in reference to keeping a gun in my vehicle. Is...

    Is the copper out?

    I'm cleaning a bolt action .308 rifle, and after some initial brushing with solvent and then a couple of treatments with Outer's foaming bore cleaner I'm now getting clean patches, but when I follow up with a clean new (bronze?) brush and copper solvent I get blue patches again. Is the blue...

    Is bi-metal ammo bad for bores?

    I bought a 560rd case of .308 China Sports (Norinco) ammo at a gun show this weekend and I believe its bi-metal (doesn't say so but magnets attract it). Does anyone really know if bi-metal or steel blended bullets really wear bores faster? I've got a .5moa non-chromed police tactical rifle in...

    LEOs on CCW

    My son got in an argument with his liberal English teacher today who told him policemen are against civilians carrying (or even having) guns because it puts them in danger. From what I have heard it is my impression that the typical LEO is for CCW but some of the higher ups who run the...

    Ready to give up on my VEPR

    I had been having poor accuracy with a new rifle and a bench rest shooter at the local range looked it over and ran a brush through it and told me the surplus ammo I had been shooting had soft copper jackets and I had significant copper fouling. Well after lots of judicious copper removal...

    Defensive pistol practice

    Reading some of the threads here got me to thinking about when I did all my shooting at an indoor pistol range. Developing basic trigger control, etc. is a good thing, but shooting slow fire at paper is not what you should be spending the majority of your time doing if you call yourself...
