    MI shooters: a silly "green card " question

    In Washtenaw County and the Sheriffs department had Saturday hours up until a budget crunch last year and now they only do permits to purchase or inspections during the week. Have you checked with your county on Saturday hours? Logical: At our CCW training they said that we had to inform an...

    Need some help guys (GOP Candidates)

    I heard a segment with a taped quote from Romney today on the radio thet he made within the last two days. He said "I support the 2nd Amendment but I agree with the assault weapons ban. To me that shows he doesn't understand the issue and is a deal breaker for me. There are many issues where...

    What to expect for accuracy out of an SP101 2 1/4" .357?

    Jbauch357, My SP101 did the same thing to my finger. I spent a little time with a file and a stone smoothing edges and corners and now it does not damage my finger. I routinely shoot 200-250 rounds almost each weekend and no problems

    Conceal carry, why the need

    I would tend to agree with the writer that said it is like a rite of passage shared with a friend. When you first start carrying you feel like everyone notices and is looking at you. The support and encouragement received here helps get over that and quickly feels normal

    Why is Ruger so... slow...

    I sent in a Single Six in January for mechanical work (broken transfer bar) and got it back in 4 weeks to the day. Maybe the times are longer as spring approaches and people are getting ready for better range weather.

    Yet another, new, CNN Poll

    Very interesting, there are 0 comments posted. I wrote "that if the anti-gun groups continue to push their agenda such as HR 1022 that it will be the only issue for myself and my friends". They claim to moderate the comments and only post those appropriate. I guess that means " only...

    Gander Mountain and their "Sales"

    This not my experience in S.E. Michigan. I have bought a used Ruger Mark II Target for a very good price (209) at the G.M. in Taylor MI and got a lot of good advice from the sales person in the NOVI store on trap shooting. My buddy bought a S&W 22A in Joliet IL for $109. If you find a gun in...

    Do you CCW with a round chambered?

    While I normally carry an SP101 and of course have all five loaded, when I have carried my 92 FS I do keep one in the chamber. I am very comfortable with the de-cocker/safety, and the DA/SA is the best of both worlds.

    .357magnum ammo *for practice*

    S&B I have done the same thing, trying several of the lower priced rounds in my SP101. I keep coming back to the S&B 158gr FMJ. They were $10.49 at Cabelas but recent went up to $11.49. They are consistent but I have not found any to be as accurate as the 125 gr. Speer Gold Dots that I keep in...
