Might be regional as someone suggested; but could also depend on demographics. Of the people I know with CCWs, I can list 2 S&W 36s and one 60, a 1911, a HK P2000, another HK (P30, I think), a SP101, a S&W model 10, and a compact XD. I live in a pretty rural area with many multi-generation...

Interesting thread. No real camp for us -we hunt pretty close to home. We were hunting mostly 7000-10000' open country this year and the folks I hunted with throughout the season hunted with a Model 70 in 25-06, a BAR Safari in .308, a Model 70 in .270 WSM, a Savage 99 in .300 Savage, and I...

Very slick idea heathkiks!

I have both and can't tell much difference in recoil between the Dan Wesson .41 mag and the Anaconda .44. I had a Virginian Dragoon in .44 and the single action grip made a bigger difference in felt recoil than the difference in caliber. I can tell you that when I'm sorting brass I have to pay...

You Should Read This Book! Anyone ever read In Defense of Hunting, by James A Swan? It might be the single best thing I've ever read. (Lonesome Dove is up there too) I highly recommend it... Biology, Anthropology, Economics, History, Law, Ethics, and more and how they're intertwined with...

Hall's Safes are quite impressive; they're pricey though. http://www.hallsafe.com/main.html

Works for me too. Looks like normal mountain bike gear and it's with you if you leave your bike for whatever reason.

Nice looking rifle! I'm trying to figure out what to do with my model 1917; It was sporterized in the 1950s.

I posted a while back about a Remington Rolling Block in 7x57 that I have, and safe loadings for it. Someone mentioned that there were excessive headspace issues with many of them. I remembered something about the fired brass, but I couldn't remember details. I came across some of the brass...

Anyone load S&B Rifle Brass? I've got some 6.5x55 in the vibratory tumbler right now.

Sweet looking pistol! I like the look of the wood forend.

Has anyone used the NRA 5.11 Select Carry Pistol Pouch? I was thinking about trying one out for my P225 Sig for hiking, biking, etc. I've used fanny pack holsters often during various outdoor activities where seeing/using fanny packs isn't unusual, and I was hoping to get some input. Thanks.

x2! I look at magazines as a source of information that sort of keeps me on the pulse of what's going on in the industry and in the country. I will go over magazine information and if I feel it's pertinent to my interests, I'll continue to research on forums where you can talk to people with...

Yeah, hopefully I'll get out with it over the next few days and see what It'll do. Seems I remember maybe hunting with it one morning or shooting it in the evening and the scope didn't let in much light. It was fine in bright daylight, clear, just low magnification. I'll keep you all posted.

I'm going to have to take it out now. It's been so long since I shot it I don't remember how accurate it is. I looked for targets, but it must have been before I was better at keeping records. If it was really bad or really good I would have remembered though. The scope has really fine...
