Hm, well it's a shame it doesn't work the way I thought it would. Oh well, better safe than kB!-ed. Thank you for your insight, I'm still learning this stuff.

Have recently gotten into reloading, finally (really, what took me so long?) and am awaiting a single stage press kit ordered online, but in the meantime I have a question. I found a video online of a person whom used 9x19 brass simply trimmed down to be used as pseudo-9x18 Makarov (marked as...

So last week I turned 21 and picked up a Smith & Wesson 442 (which I love even more than I had thought, by the way) and noticed a tiny spark when dry-firing. I turned out all the lights, checked empty once again, and dry-fired while looking at the rear of the cylinder from the side, and notice...

I think B looks amazing, but I'd be happy to own either. Fine shotgun you have there, in either configuration.

I'd love a Thompson submachine gun, or an MP-5K. But to be fair, those are more limited to me because of price than because of laws. They could be fully legal and there's still no way I'd be able to get one.

So if I were to, say, install a pistol-grip-only in place of the stock, the shotgun would stay at the legal limit, right? I know PGO is less effective, it would mostly be to play with, and of course the stock could always go back on.

So what you guys are saying is... I could buy one of these, and not expect any real problems at all? How easy is take-down on the 870? I know on the Mossberg 500 it was as easy as bringing the foregrip to the halfway position and unscrewing the cap at the end of the magazine tube.

It seems like I've read a few reports of the Remington 870 Express line not being so great, but I don't remember any specifics. A quick Googling is mainly popping up results from years ago, not current information. I've owned a Mossberg 500 and liked it a lot, but would like to try something...

The Four Rules are very important to gun safety and I try to follow them religiously, but that being said: what about dry fire practice? It's a massive violation of two of the four rules, but I'm pretty sure we'll all agree that it's a beneficial training aid. As long as you check and...

Stoeger Coach Gun Smith & Wesson Model 60 Pro Series NAA Mini Revolver in .22 Mag. Those are the next three on the list.

I was at a gun show not long ago, and had the fortune of handling one of these. Boy was I impressed! The stocks felt great, the whole gun looked great, factory front night sight, and all in a relatively compact platform. It looks to be exactly what I want in a combination of concealable carry...

Thanks for the advice and warnings, I guess I have my answer. I do live outside the city limits, and it is legal to discharge firearms where I live. I just choose not to because although I don't have close neighbors, they're not very far either. And it would be a huge nuisance with the noise...

So I was thinking of sometimes using .22 Long CB caps in a bolt-action .22 LR rifle in the backyard when I get it, right now thinking of the Savage Mark II, but is there an issue of these incredibly low-powered rounds not making it out of the barrel? Of course I don't plan to only use the CB...

I'm kind of thinking I'll pick the Savage Mark II. I keep reading reviews and everyone seems to love the Accu-Trigger and think it's the best thing since self-contained cartridges. It's hard to argue with so many positive words. I'm still open to other models, but it looks like a really good...

I looked over the Savage and was considering it, but I don't like it for two reasons: no back-up iron sights, and it's listed as 6 pounds. I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but that's pretty heavy for a .22 rifle. I'm sure I would be firing it offhand most of the time. For comparison the Marlin...
