Why is it that most pistol rounds are sold in boxes of 50 with the exception of defensive rounds? Most hollow point rounds are sold in boxes of 20.

I plan to enlarge a bedroom closet soon and on the end wall will be a full length mirror for my wife. Behind that mirror will be storage for my firearms and ammunition. Of course my wife will know about the storage and if anything happens to me everything will go to my son in law the police...

In 1985 I decided I wanted to deer hunt and bought a 336CS in 30-30. I shot it maybe 10-15 times sighting it in and hunted 1 or 2 years with it but never took a shot at a deer. Now after reading through most of this thread I want to get it out and start shooting it again. Thirty years ago a...

I have read that a person has a field of view of approximately a 43 mm lens on a 35 mm camera. That's why in the film days a 35 to 50 mm lens was considered a normal lens. Try taking some photos at 43 mm and see if that gives you what you are looking for. That's not easy if you're using a...

I am using Chrome on an Android tablet. I don't know anything about this tablet other than it is an Ellipsis that Verizon "gave" me this past weekend when I upgraded my phone. The default settings may be set to show all images full screen but don't have the inclination to check the settings...

Right now I am viewing the images on an 8" tablet and they all display the same size. They all fill the screen horizontally in portrait orientation and fill the screen vertically in landscape orientation. Is that what you were attempting to accomplish?

I shoot mostly 9 mm because I have two 9 mm pistols. I have a .22 but I don't shoot it that often. Now, if like others I look at what I shot mostly in my lifetime it would probably be BBs or maybe 22 cal pellets.

Does anyone know where I could download an owners manual for the 550-1? Also I would like to have a diagram/schematic of the gun. EDIT: I had looked on the Remington site and couldn't find anything about the 550-1 but decided to look one more time after I posted the above and I did find a...

I decided to order a N82 Professional model for my Shield, received it 2 days ago, and have been wearing it around the house trying to find just the right spot. This is the first time I have tried IWB and the first time I have tried to wear any kind of holster for almost 30 years. First...

I bought a M&P Shield 9 mm last week. I haven't shot it yet but hope to tomorrow. I cleaned it last night and loaded the mags so it is ready to go. This will be my concealed carry gun when I get my CHL. I took the CHL training class this past Saturday and now I am just waiting for the State...

About 30 to 35 years ago I went shooting with a friend. He brought everything from a .22 to a .44 mag and they were all loud but he had a .41 mag that had a different sound from the rest. The .41 had a higher pitched, sharper report and it hurt my ears every time it was fired which was often...

Reloadron, I have tried that link but apparently my rifle has no serial number. Like I stated it has the number 77 and a stamp to the right of the number and slightly higher than the number that looks like an oval stamp of 3 small vertical lines. I know that's hard to envision but I do have a...

My father bought a 550-1 for my older brother in about 1952-1955 and I began shooting it around 1957. The rifle was really accurate and never failed even though we only shot 22 shorts in it because they were so cheap. I don't think the gun was ever cleaned and the last time I shot it, probably...

Thanks for the replies. There are so many options out there and since this is my first holster I'm wanting something I can be comfortable with but I am really a function over form guy and want something serviceable. Everything I have read says I will likely end up with a box full of holsters...

I realize this is a year old thread but I am considering a N82 holster for my M&P Shield and wondered if the OP purchased a holster from them. DFisher3112 and anyone else that has a N82 holster can you give a quick review and where do yo wear it? Is it wearable as AIWB?
