    Glock 17 v Sig P226: which is better duty pistol?

    The SIG requires more lubrication on the rails. This is very important to protect the aluminum frame during shooting. If both are maintained, then the difference is in the trigger and recoil management. The Glock's trigger is much lighter and is easier to master. The SIG's double action...

    A question on training courses

    There are quite a few reputable trainers around. You do not need to go to Arizona, Oregon, or Texas for quality training. Those locations charge quite a bit for their classes. I generally attend quality courses that cost no more than $150-$225 per day. Read AAR's (After Action Reports) on...

    Does the Second Amendment protect non-violent felons?

    Yes, it should protect their rights. My view is they should not be let out if they're still violent. Instead we have a revolving door policy. We have created a permanent sub-class with these laws. They prevent people who have paid for their non-violent felony from getting good middle class...

    Is the USA a mini Somalia?

    The thread is not over! We need pictures of your shotgun. Show it off, preferably with dead Mr. Fox. Regarding the "crime" comment several pages back: http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/2006/02/culture.html For essays on guns in America, check out the left column on...

    What new gun for me?

    You will find the Browning Hi-Power in 9mm to be very concealable.

    Carry weapon suggestions for a noob

    Why would you think the S&W M&P in 45 S&W is a "little big for a carry weapon"? It's just fine. You need an attitude adjustment and a change of clothing to better conceal the gun. What you want is "convenience". Jim Cirillo put it best (paraphrased): "When the gunfight happens, you'll want...

    Home invasion and you

    Carry a handgun on your belt inside your home. Too bad it's come to that, but that's how the world is.

    Buy ammo before the price skyrockets in the next six months.

    Are Revolvers Actually better than Autos?

    "Glock leg" with a revolver is very easy if the hammer is cocked. It's very easy with a SIG or any other gun because the problem is the user.

    New York City -- my travel experience

    You were shooting at the wrong targets. There is only one way to get the right to keep and bear arms in New York. Nothing will change until you stand up and and threaten the politicians. They will fold immediately because they know they only rule based upon consent. Now, I do respect that...

    How would you spend $2000?

    $2,000 doesn't buy much nowadays. Keep this in mind when you got to the gun store and don't fall over from a heart attack. You won't be able to get a good rifle and a quality optic (assuming a new gun). Consider that a good AR-10 style rifle from LaRue or Noveske costs at least $2500...

    Totally impractical, totally fun!

    One thing I have noticed in the four days I've owned the gun: I now dislike small revolvers!

    Totally impractical, totally fun!

    My 44 Magnum Snubbie! I fired 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 200 grain JHP (1075 FPS) and 50 rounds of Magtech 240 grain SJSP (1178 FPS). The Speers were very controllable. The Magtechs were on the edge of what I can handle. They made Good Boom! I also chose the Ruger...

    Hi Point pistols

    I didn't realize special considerations were required for the pistol to run properly. I guess holding it sideways while shooting up the 'hood didn't help.

    New EMP questions for those who own them

    Call Springfield Armory immediately and they will repair it. Tell them to pin the ejector while they're at it. It likely needs some minor tuning. EMP 9mm magazines are 9+1. Mine required two trips to the factory. The first was to center up the firing pin strikes and fix the jams. The...

    Ruger Redhawk Alaskan and Moonclips

    Did you try several brands? Did they all flop around? Have you tried the clips from TK Custom? My guess is that the thicker clips don't flex like the ones for 357 Magnum. The TK Custom clips are thicker to accommodate the gap: 45 ACP: .031" 45 Colt: .022" 454: .025"

    Ruger Redhawk Alaskan and Moonclips

    No, they are not. They leave part of the cylinder uncut and the rims sit on that. You do not need to use a tool, but using the Moonclip Tool (I have the one from mooncliptool.com) is faster, more reliable, and 100% easier on the fingers. I found that they tend to bend when removed...

    Ruger Redhawk Alaskan and Moonclips

    I handled a Ruger Alaskan in 44 Magnum the other day. The trigger was quite nice and needed no work. I really liked it and have been considering a snubbie big bore gun. I did some research into accessories. It turns out that both chamberings (454 Casull and 44 Magnum) can be cut for moonclips...
