    House plans with safe rooms

    Can you say "walk in closet"? They are in many plans and may just need to be constructed differently or enlarged.

    Paul Gomez on 9mm vs .45

    What isn't said is that there IS a notable difference in barrier penetration between the service rounds. Some high dollar 9mm do OK in barrier tests. But, I can buy equally effective .40 or .45 ammo cheaper and more readily. Barrier penetration matters greatly IMHO, because you can't assume...

    Bushnell scopes quality?

    I'm looking at low power scopes like 1x4 or 2x7. The Bushnell Dawn/Dusk Shotgun scope looks good on paper. I know Bushnell is a big name, but what is Bushnell's quality like? I know Nikon and Leupold are good. What are the other good brands? Weaver?

    Drop safety of Rem 870 vs Moss 500

    I don't trust a safety period, but that's what we are all taught. I also agree these are probably not as good as a handgun safety. I bought my son a Mossberg even though I am a Remington fan. He will not use it for a few years, but I worry about him dropping it - - not me. So, when I heard...

    Drop safety of Rem 870 vs Moss 500

    I recently heard someone suggest the Mossberg 500 is less drop safe than a Remington 870. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

    HD weapon for legally blind

    At 20/200 a legally blind person can easily identify a hostile target at SD distance. Legally blind and "blind" are different. Many of us who wear glasses have uncorrected visual acuity worse than 20/200. So, it would be like shooting without wearing glasses. This is the one situation in...

    Where to put a shotgun for HD?

    They make long gun boxes with a simplex lock - inexpensive, reliable, safe, and no batteries. Some mount on the wall or between wall studs.

    Building a fortified house

    IMHO, one can build a very secure home (in all aspects) and fit in with any community. If planned smartly, there may be a little more expense, but little if any loss in resale value. IIRC, the OP is in Kansas. A basement set up as a tornado shelter is a selling point. It is also suitable...

    Building a fortified house

    This is a subject I am very interested in as well. I hope to build mine in a year or 3. It keeps getting put back. Here are some additional thoughts. In addition to studying anti-tornado construction, also look at anti-hurricane construction (same wind, but more info is available about...

    looking for a cheap shotgun with the express purpose of converting for HD.

    I saw an old 870 Wingmaster sell for $119.00 a few weeks ago. It was rough, but would have cleaned up nicely for HD.

    Need rimfire scope advice

    Honestly, I've focused more on teaching him with a handgun because of difficulty dealing with the eye dominance thing. With a handgun, we can tilt the gun a little to get a correct sight picture. I thought a long eye relief scope might aid in allowing him to shoot right handed with his left...

    glock 22 reliable or not?

    The 22/23 is generally considered (by the high end training community) to be a reliable gun for occassional shooters - like most cops. However, they tend to say that due to the slide being insufficient in mass to handle the .40 round, breakage and unreliability begin to occur much earlier than...
