    AR-15 wont seat mags when loaded?

    If the bolt is closed, loaded mags require that extra tap. I don't really see it as a problem, it's just part of the loading procedure. Ram that thing in there good and tight, tap to be sure. If the bolt is open as if you were doing a functional reload, it shouldn't be a problem. I...

    Here's why the "panic buying" will continue throughout Obama's entire administration

    Panic buying will cease in short order. Several others have mentioned it. The economy is key here. We're just beginning to see hard times. Personally, I think it gets MUCH worse throughout all of 2009. MSM and the talking heads are all looking for a "bottom" to this thing, trying to put...

    General purpose load

    Actually I think that's a valid question - I've you've gotta bug out with the clothes on your back, what shoes are you gonna wear? :) And really I agree with you - different loads for different purposes. Main reason for the thread is just an exercise. If I need to stock up on 12 ga. cheap...

    Burning, you're right, I meant a long reach. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the USP or beretta's that I have shot, so I'm not sure what to expect from the CZ. Not sure if I want to go into Hi-point territory....I can definitely afford $300-400+ as of now. Talk to me in 6 months, I may...

    Non-expensive 9mm

    CZ-75 is in fact on my list - I was hoping perhaps to get some feedback here. I've never fired or handled one, but I may have to check one out. The only thing I've heard (besides excellent reliability) is long trigger pull? Not having fired one, this may not be accurate....

    General purpose load

    Ok, I've been thinking about this for some time. Not that we don't have choices in the shotgun world, but if you had to go with one load for every occasion, what would it be? I've considered stocking up on various 12 ga. loads, but have yet to come to a definitive conclusion. Taking into...

    Non-expensive 9mm

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Glad to be here! Couple of facts: I know a good bit about handguns (own several and shoot regularly) but am certainly no expert. I own multiple handguns in .45, also .40 S&W, and consider them superior in most respects, but for the purpose of this...
