    Dogs - different breeds deterrents or bullseyes?

    I had a Doberman. A most of the time, he acted like a lap dog. He was also very tolerant of children. But, he did seem to be very protective about me.

    Marksmanship: Police vs. civilian

    Jeff Cooper observed: 1. Criminals hit their target about 1 round in 10. 2. The police hit their target about 3 rounds in 10. 3. Civilian shooters hit their target about 9 rounds out of 10. Cooper's observations do have the possibility of unintentional bias. Cooper may have only...

    Bullet Overstabilization?

    The biggest problem with extra fast rates of twist is the bullet may be prone to self-destruct. In other words, the rate of spin will cause the bullet to fragment.

    The bill for Heller: $3.5 million

    I think the money should come out of the pockets of Mayor Fenty and the Washington D.C. city council members. In otherwords, bankrupt them.

    Will firearms disappear in America?

    If the leftists were able to completely close down all firearm manufacturers and collect all the firearms, now in civilian hands, the only result would be the start of clandestine manufacturers. They would not be making ordinary civilian firearms. It is a far simpler manufacturing process to...

    Remington 11-87 Sportsman and light loads?

    I am shooting a Remington 11-87 turkey gun with a 21" barrel. I have found the Peters Blue Heavy Trap Loads work the gun reliably. They are 1 and a 1/4 oz, 3 1/4 dram equivalent, 2 3/4 inch loads. I did have some trouble with 2 3/4 dram equivalent loads. It does pay to test the loads to...

    Have you ever shot anyone?

    I think it is really a bad question to ask people. It does put people in a very uncomfortable position.

    Going Magnum - .44 or .357??

    A .357 makes a better carry gun, since it is lighter. However, the .44 makes a better hunting handgun.

    Popular False rumors about war

    What I remember, as a quotes about handguns: 1. A handgun is what you use, when you don't have time to get a rifle or a shotgun. 2. Only a fool uses a handgun, when he/she could be using a rifle or a shotgun. Rifles have much longer effective range. Shotguns are much faster and more...

    .22 LR - Remington Thunderbolt versus CCI Blazer?

    I have been using the Thunderbolt and other promo ammo for practice. Then, I use CCI MiniMags to shoot in matches. It's too hard to find standard velocity loads at the local store.

    Better not tell the BATF, or you will have to register that masking tape.

    "Shoot to Kill" or "Shoot to stop"

    I will emphasize, a handgun is only to be used, when you cannot bring a rifle or a shotgun to bear. A shotgun is far more effective at close range, than a pistol, or even a SMG. A rifle has a big advantage at longer ranges, which is exactly the distance you should be keeping a potential threat.

    "Shoot to Kill" or "Shoot to stop"

    I do know that a center of mass hold is the most reliable tactic for getting a solid body hit.
