I had a teacher for AP Chemistry and Physics, with a Ph.D from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who didn't "believe" in evolution. He pointed to all sorts of evidence, like the similarity of the eye between creatures who had, by all accounts, diverged from one another long before the...

That's pretty much what happened in Connecticut too. Tons of people went to protest outside the capitol and give passionate speeches to the state legislature about how their idea for a law wouldn't change a thing and would endanger far more people than it would save. What did they do? They...

Sorry, but it's a legitimate question. The Constitution State could easily remove the ability for NRA Pistol Safety classes to satisfy the requirements to get a pistol permit. And yet they don't, despite their supporting such an unrepentant evil organization. There has to be some reason...

If the NRA are baby murdering evil charlatans that just want to own tanks with 0.700 Nitro Express machine guns to kill more babies at once... ... Why are they the ones who certify pistol safety instructors? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I, too, would prefer "my" NRA to be focused solely on issues surrounding 2A. On the other hand, one can empathize with the change in tone given the recent "Et tu, Harry?" moment after decades of endorsements.

STI Spartan, if you can find one. MSRP: 660.00

I realize you're talking about the Argentine model AFTER the Ballester-Molina, but don't buy a Ballester-Molina. Non-ergonomic, unpleasant to shoot, not particularly accurate. Not to mention the lack of a few safety features making me unsure that I'd be happy carrying it for any purpose.

That whole "punching, kicking, scratching" thing kinda bothers me... it strikes me as being exactly the occasion that someone would discover you were carrying concealed and use that to their own advantage (depending on how you were carrying the firearm, obviously ankle is different than shoulder...

GP6... Local store got them in earlier this week. They let me handle one at the shop. Light, nice trigger pull, great sight picture. Definitely going to be my first purchase once the permit goes through.

Why isn't it made? Why is there only a decocker model in 9mm luger? Furthermore, were I to want to piece one together, is there more entailed than "replace magazine, replace barrel" like you might find when switching a Sig between .40 S&W and .357 SIG? The public demands to know! (or...

If the AWB went through, and Cooper hadn't done this, what do you think would have happened to his business overall? Also, buddy at a different site tells me about all the people with Obama '08 stickers going into his local store and buying AR's and AK's... they'll probably be thrilled by...

Alright, I'll have to try out the Sig again when I'm at my local rental-range. I did like how it felt in my hand. Re: GP6, a local store has an order in on them, but hasn't gotten them into stock as yet. Very interested in it, though, since it seems to have Glock durability (shoot underwater on...

OK, so it's been pointed out to me elsewhere that the thing that I'm annoyed by is the pre-travel used to disengage the firing pin lock in the Sig trigger. I know that Sig makes a "Short reset trigger" for its firearms, though... how much, if any, does that reduce the pre-travel?

I wouldn't want to fire .40 through a compact, really. 1. more limited magazine capacity (slightly), but this is a bigger issue in your compact than in a full-frame firearm. 2. More recoil/less comfortable grip on the compact (what is it in 1911 recoil springs? 14 for 9mm, 16 for .45ACP, 19...

I competed my freshman/sophomore year on my college's rifle team. Collegiat Club. I think I got the third worst score in the NRA's club category in 2003. Next year, the club dissipated, so I didn't get the chance to improve. Actually, that's a good point: I've known people since 2k3...
