    New Hampshire Public Land Ranges?

    This is a good question. I live in the capital area and usually travel down to Manchester Firing line. But it's quite a drive, a little pricey, and usually pretty busy. I'd love to find a local pit or public land range of some sort. Have you had any luck? The idea of checking with the local...

    House Alarm at 0230; Cops Come Clear my House

    Someone else brought up a similar sentiment, and generally I agree. But be sure the kids know the difference between the fire alarm and security system alarm. Practice, practice, practice to be sure everyone in the home can tell the difference and responds accordingly. If you're not 110%...

    Itty Bitty Carry With a Bite or How About a 638 Club?

    I don't suppose anyone's got one of these revolvers AND a P32 or P3AT? I'd love to see a size comparison. I've got a love-hate relationship with my P32 and wouldn't mind switching to a revolver of comparable size/weight. Anyone?

    Shipping Ammo

    Hate to resurrect an old thread, but I wanted to provide some closure. I placed a new order this week and had it shipped to my home - just to see what would happen. I tried to be home early enough to catch the UPS guy and have a little chat about any special handling requirements for ORM-D...

    Shipping Ammo

    Hrmm, I've always just assumed that ORM-D packages required a human being to receive them. They always took a signature when delivering to my office in the past. Maybe I'll try just shipping one to my house and seeing what happens. I called around to a few places - apparently a lot of...

    You know you read gun boards too much when...

    I'm ashamed to say this happens to me pretty frequently. Though I'm not usually even posting, I'm just reading "one more thread" before heading home.

    Shipping Ammo

    I'm not sure the warehouse route is very practical, it's nearly 40 minutes away. This made me think of "The UPS Store", though. It seems they provide Mailbox services and there's one nearby. I've sent an e-mail to the local store asking about specifics and rates. I think I'll also take a...

    Shipping Ammo

    I have a bit of a conundrum. In the past I've purchased ammo and other accessories/supplies from natchezss.com and had it shipped to my office. UPS always takes a signature when delivering these packages. Until recently this was working out great. Over the past few weeks I've had some...

    Entry-level 9mm 1911

    Looks like the Kimber is the least expensive option. Still awfully painful at $850+. Guess I'll just have to wait. Maybe Taurus will make a 9mm version of their 1911 in the not too distant future. . . Thanks for your input.

    Entry-level 9mm 1911

    I've always wanted a 1911 but with the dearth of choices and often bone-chilling prices I've managed to steer clear. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out - the Siren's Call and all that. I'd really like something in 9mm. I know that's heretical, but .45 is so expensive...

    For Taurus 605 and 85 owners

    I'm in the market for one of these small .357/.38spl revolvers and the main reason I haven't picked one up yet is I'm still trying to decide between the sp101 or the 605/85. Obviously the Taurus will save me $75 or so, but the rabid loyalty of sp101 owners is compelling. Anyone have a...

    ammo, 9mm and 9mm luger differences

    <off topic> I suspect most people add the "t" because that's how it sounds when spoken aloud. </off topic>
