The SP101 .38 Special and .357 cylinders are exactly the same size, length and diameter. The only difference is the length of the chambers - the .357 are slightly longer to accommodate the longer cartridge. So the .38 is actually slightly heavier than the .357, but not so much that you could...

Actually, considering the source, the chart and data speak for themselves. If a well-known to be leftist, anti-gun organization like the Violence Policy Center releases data that puts legal concealed carriers in a good light, how can one question the validity? Why would they publish something...

Negligent Discharges don't occur... ...if we follow Colonel Cooper's four safety rules: I. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED II. NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY III. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET IV. BE SURE OF...

Thanks, Your Highness, I'll pop over there right now - it's lunchtime. O'course, I missed your post by a day so I may be a day late, if not a dollar short.

I was in high school Army ROTC 1967-70 and shot on the school rifle team. We'd get the arms room keys from 'Sarge' and check out our rifles, shooting jackets, mats, targets, and as much .22LR ammo as we could carry. Our range was out behind the school (then on the edge of town) in an old rock...

The reason that the Second Amendment says 'arms' is to allow the people to use any available modern weapon to defend ourselves against tyrannical government, foreign or domestic. That was the intent of the Founders, plain and simple. They knew firearms would evolve. The problem with...

5.56 mm ammo, especially the current military rounds with the steel core, is intended to go through stuff like walls, car sheet metal, and anything else a bad guy might hide behind. A modern military rifle is a horrible HD weapon if you're concerned about overpenetration. You're better off...

I would think the government would have to prove that the magazines were purchased after the ban came into effect. But I guess such precautions would effectively preclude prosecution. Like having an alibi.

The 147-grain 9mm Golden Saber is my carry ammo of choice. My Beretta Model 9000S eats it like candy. I also use the 102-grain .380 in my Beretta Model 84. Reliable, accurate, and (according to my FBI buddy) deadly.

Gives us a chance to show off in front of our fellow CHLs. (I've been tempted to try it blindfolded.)

Fort Bliss PX has been selling guns, ammo, and accessories for about two years now. They always have a nice selection of rifles, pistols, and revolvers. The counter salesmen also told me we could ask them to order certain specific firearms from their on-line catalogue (but I forget the web...
