    Flying with firearms

    I flew Continental from VA to CA this past Friday. Had no problems. The counter-woman checked me in while I unlocked the box to show her the firearm, and got upgraded to 1st class for cheap. Yes, TSA wanted to see it, and no problems there, either. This was the first time TSA actually wanted...

    Has anyone who bought an upper from RRA recently received theirs yet?

    I ordered mine back in December and just received it 2 days ago. I called RRA back in May, and was told they were on backorder for barrel blanks (or some such) with no ETA. RRA did call me last month on the 25th asking me if I still wanted it, which I did, and that it would be built and...

    Tell me about your 590A1's

    I own one. And its great. I also put the 6 round shell holder on, but no bayonet. I think about getting one from time to time for it. I also added a rail to attach a light to it. One thing I did do was install the Knoxx CompStock (http://www.knoxx.com/products/CompStock.php) on it. Check...

    Blazer Brass

    Just as an example, but my brother's 1911 is jamomatic nightmare with Fiocchi. It's almost every single round in all of his mags. I don't recall my 1911 ever having a problem with Fiocchi though. I'm going to say his 1911 doesn't like Fiocchi ammo at all, but in mine it does. Mine just may...

    Blazer Brass

    The next time that I buy Blazer .45 and go to the range I'll save the jammed rounds and boxes and post some pics. I just measured some Blazer .40 rounds from 2 different boxes, but from the same lot. I chose random ones from both boxes. You can physically see the height difference and...

    Blazer Brass

    The lot numbers were different, and the boxes were just fine. I would get about 3-5 rounds that would FTF almost half the time. Sometimes 1 box would only give me problems and the rest would run fine. I just chalk it up to a quality control issue. I still buy the Blazer along with WWB.

    Blazer Brass

    I buy all my target ammo at Walmart also. I've had failures in all mags for my 1911 with Blazer, but only few with WWB. The last FTFs, I compared the jammed Blazer rounds with non-jamming Blazer rounds along with WWB rounds, and found the jammed rounds had bullets that were set too far back in...

    Bad Experience Today - Glad Michigan is Finally Eliminating "Pistol Inspections"

    Thanks for the reply, freakshow. I was wondering how it worked while I read the thread.

    Bad Experience Today - Glad Michigan is Finally Eliminating "Pistol Inspections"

    Please bear with me for a moment, but how would the local PD know if you bought one and didn't bring it in for the "inspection"? Is the dealer required to notify the local PD where you live? Just curious.

    Keep a shell chambered in your HD shotgun?

    I keep one in the chamber for the same reason that sevin8nin stated.

    Does the .40 S&W Just Need More Time?

    My Sig P229 is in .40 and I love it. As for the snappiness, I think it has to do with both the gun and how it soaks up the recoil, and the shooter. From the various guns I've shot in .40, I liked all of them except the Beretta 90-Two. It was snappy. The ones I really liked that soaked up the...
