    Cops taking hostages

    Art you make a fairly decent stab at minimizing this situation, but I'd hardly think the two situations are even close to each other. That said, I think the real thing Art was trying to say is please, please, don't let this be just another cop bashing thread! Too bad the cops keep feeding us...

    The BEST Part of Reloading...

    The single best moment for me in reloading was when my son took an elk with one of my reloads.

    Glaser Blue vs. Silver Safety Slugs for HD -- "atmospheric" issues

    Thats funny! Sounds like something Jeff Cooper would say.:D Anybody ever take a stab at making these kinds of slugs? From what I understand, Joe Zambone (magsafe) started out making his Magsafes by melting the lead out of commercial hollowpoints with a hand torch and then filling them with...

    Neighbors beating on my door....

    This is a thought provoking issue and I've been thinking and reading about this in an effort to come to some kind of conclusion about this for myself because you guys who say slam the door in their face actually made a pretty darn good case for it. Checking yourself against others opinions is a...

    What is the absolutely safest way to DE-COCK a 1911?

    You're talking about how the series 80 will drop the hammer from the so called half cock notch (which isn't a true half cock as on previous models) to full down when the trigger is pulled? It wont fire. I tried it a bunch of tomes along time ago when I first got mine and me & my dad noticed that...

    Glaser Blue vs. Silver Safety Slugs for HD -- "atmospheric" issues

    No disrespect to BluesBear here but plainsman is right. Whats that we say? The only dumb question is one thats not asked? Look at his post count, He don't know we've been over that question a gazillion times... In case he hasn't heard El Tejons opinion on that issue, allow me to reiterate...

    What is the absolutely safest way to DE-COCK a 1911?

    Uh, I'll give you the laymans version, and hopefully someone like Tuner or Fuff will chime in with the real specifics and reasons. When the slide cycles to cock the hammer, the disconnect, and sear disengage from the hammer hooks (Eh?) and it cocks the way it was meant to operate. When you...

    1911 dust cover crack

    Whoa. Sounds like someones been pushing the edge of the envelope with it. I read about a guy who cracked his similarly from running 260g bullets in it. Supposedly he had it welded up and just uses it for a range gun now with softball loads. I'd replace the frame if it was me.

    So much for "Less than Lethal"... Red Sox Fan Killed by Police Projectile

    Does anyone really blame the cops in the LA riots for not going in? I do not. I think there's a point in shtf scenarios that even the police can be expected to do the smart thing and watch out for themselves. Every man for himself. Wading in to a riot with a uniform on is asking for trouble...

    How long does powder keep....

    Funny you should mention this about powder age. I'm kind of in the middle of a test of some 'approaching 30 yr old powder'. My friends G'Pa died and they finally cleaned out his room and most of his gun stuff was bequeathed to me. There was about 15 lbs of various powders. About 1/2 of it was...

    Charter 2000 Bulldog .44 Special Load?

    I got me ol Bulldog on as I type. One of the older 2-1/2" bull bbl models, no shroud. Its been so long since I bought any factory ammo for it, it's funny. I distinctly remember having real good luck with those Remington 246g lead round nose bullets though, for target. I used Silvertips in it...

    Casting Alloy Question...

    You know, I think you might be right. Its not like I had a lot of leading before when I used to just cast straight WW's. The lube is the main fouling. I do got a couple loads that are pretty quick though 1400 to 1500 fps. I was loading for power for awhile but have them loads on the books and...

    What is "acceptable accuracy" from a rifle?

    A cantalope would be acceptable for me at 150. That would do what needs doing as Jeff Cooper would say. Prones a given but not sure how consistent I'd be offhand at it. I suck offhand.
