    AR15 - why so expensive?

    kw...i have put things in saltwater and used them. have i put an ak in it, and used? no. have i put an ar in it, and used it? no. but i'd feel more comfortable with the ak based on my personal observations of the two systems in "less than ideal" conditions. i read from some other people...

    Weaver stance question

    the cant for one handed shooting has been taught to most of the guys i work with. it makes sense, since when we extend the weapon to our target, we were told to "treat it like a punch." two handed shooting with a cant doesn't sound that farfetched. give it a shot. no pun intended. :-D

    AR15 - why so expensive?

    ok...here comes my opinion. based on fact of course, although i think it might be kinda hard to prove. take it or leave it. israelis...people who have been fighting since the dawn of time. they wanted a battle rifle. their test was to take all the major battle rifles, and store them...

    Starting to like 9mm

    i'm not sure what you think about 1911 clones...but para has just begun advertising a 1911 lookalike that holds 18+1 of 9mm. stealth nit-tac is what it's called i think. i don't know much about para, or that gun...but it may interest you. otherwise...XD's do good for shooters. i've got a...

    “What are you prepared to do!?!â€

    i'm so fascinated with guns, that i'm usually cleaning, playing with, dry firing, or doing reload drills all the time. right now...my XD is sitting next to the keyboard. i've got two other guns less than 15 feet away. during pauses in posts, or thinking, i'm fiddling with the gun. sighting...

    who makes some of the better duty (retention) holsters, mag pouches etc?

    blackhawk makes a nylon based mag carrier using something called nytaneon, i think. its a cloth mag pouch (1-4 mags) with flaps IF YOU WANT to use them. if you choose not to, there is this thingy in the pouches that basically presses your mag against the inside wall of the pouch. i wish i...

    Should Human Foes Be Thought of as Animals for Ballistic Purposes?

    good call. ^ cosmoline, you make points i can't deny. i'm gonna add everything you've said to my personal doctrine. i'm still refining my personal doctrines, and i'm trying to get a good blend of various things. thanks for your insights. :)

    "Carried a lot, shot very little", doesn't make sense to me.

    good point. those "hyped up" adversaries...will often be alive and kicking after some serious metal. be prepared to destroy their bodies to save yours.

    Should Human Foes Be Thought of as Animals for Ballistic Purposes?

    you are correct. imminent deadly threat absent...use of lethal force denied. BUT...dead men tell no tales.

    Round effectiveness

    i am talking pistol loads for .22's. my source is common knowledge...or at least i thought it was. i'll be the first to appologize if i'm wrong about it...so i invite anyone else whose knowledge is superior to correct me, or inform me. :) no offense to your CCW instructors, or ANY CCW...

    "Carried a lot, shot very little", doesn't make sense to me.

    i own 9's. i shoot 9's. i carry hydro-shocks. i shoot WWB. i can feel a difference in the recoil between the two. i just shoot one for practice since its cheaper. but i can control them both equally well. so i agree with you. shoot what you carry. its good sense. it would be like...

    Bore axis height bores me.

    bore axis is the height from the top of the hand to the sights...yes? in rough terms that is. if i'm correct about what it is...then i kinda agree. the mechanics of shooting are the same no matter what gun you have. sight alignment, sight picture, trigger, etc. regardless of bore axis. i...
