A safety issue I'm a bit reluctant to make this post because I have no figures on frequency of occurrence and for the most part the 92FS is a fine handgun. I have four of them and at least two have been fired a significant number of times. Two problems have occurred, repeatedly. 1) An...

My guess and speculation: The protection detail he and his wife enjoyed since her days in the congress and the shooting is about to/or has run out. Sequestration or just normal time limits, I don't know. So he did what any of us would do/did do when we realized that helps takes time to...

First, regardless of the immediate drama and trauma, Sandy hook was, relative to other killers/killings small potatoes. I can do the numbers thing but would rather not. Second, evil is 'a-foot' in this country. It covers it's tracks in a variety of ways but progressive socialism is...

In the first situation my answer would be to tell you the problem and ask what you could offer by way of help. In the second I would ask what kind of food you might be interested in sampling. In both cases, polite and friendly. I don't have any tattoos but I also wear dark hoodies and...

Chronographing is a benign exercise that does more for imprinting a proper sight picture than is does for verifying the velocity of a bullet. I have four different chronographs and access to a fifth laboratory grade device; none ever register the same results unless huge sample sizes are...

The answer to your question is not available: some people are just stupid by design. As to your google dilemma you might need to go extremely broad with your search and then refine down after rejecting the first page or two of results (which will capture the current news item we aren't...

I don't normally read the crap suggested by this or other gun-centric forums. I read all three pages of this narrative. The lady has a nice vocabulary-a surprise! Should she ever need her gun she'll know it and what to do. I bet she does just fine.

This isn't addressed to anyone in particular, but... Way too much conjecture, opinion and misrepresentation of actual law comprise most of the content---and that is sad.:banghead: From the OPs original citations: A bad guy got shot during some type of road incident.:) The good guy was...

Buy good locks and get a through the door peep-hole device. Frankly, shooting a belligerent drunk is not typically self defense. Nor does it call for brandishing a firearm or loosing the dog. Not granting access is the solution, hence the first suggestion. You wife has wide-open eyes and...

How well do you shoot the pistol with factory ammo? Define the accuracy you desire.

Got both; they go BANG. 'Nuff said.

Reading is just part of the solution. The real crux of making any press work is reading and following the instructions--all of them. If you are the type to read AND FOLLOW instructions then any press will do. Check with the major manufacturers (web sites), grab the manuals for the machines...

One of my favorite sellers is a woman; I know of three total. All work from or in some place in their homes or on home property. All are single. It's a matter of personal motivation and strength. I suggest you make your own list of pros and cons and do what makes you happy. Good luck!

Almost universally absent from reloading forums is the concept of dummy rounds. Need: some empty, clean cases, some bullets, press, calipers and loading data. Make a few 'dummys' of a specific length-no powder or primer. Hand cycle them through your pistol. Run a few cycles. Make a...

Don't play drunk and always stick to pocket knives. I did neither back in the day. Had a friend 'throw' a bayonet right through my hand. Went clean through between the bones supporting my right index finger and the 'bird finger'; entered in the palm. It was 'aimed' somewhere else. To...
