    A hair-raising moment

    It's a fake. So is this one. Same range, same car, same accents. Probably a different time of the year, judging by the trees and their clothing.

    Attitude

    Who said the story had to be short? Details, I require details!

    Oh yes, another PGO thread!

    It's your call. My nightstand weaponry consists of a pistol. To each his own.

    Theoretical penetration question: Low Recoil vs. Standard rifled slugs

    I too have read that reduced recoil Foster slugs penetrate noticeably more than standard velocity slugs. The explanation I saw was that the standard velocity slugs fragment somewhat, and those smaller fragments penetrate less due to their decreased mass. The reduced recoil loads remain intact...

    Oh yes, another PGO thread!

    I can shoot my full-stocked ghost-ring-sited Mossberg from the hip, or shoulder, or underarm, or one-handed, or... A PGO isn't required to shoot from the hip, but a traditional stock is required to shoot from the shoulder.

    full size 1911 for carry

    I've got a month old Colt New Agent, 3" barrel. I've put around 400 rounds of hardball through it with only two failures, both attributable to ammunition. Do a google search for "Colt New Agent" - I did, and only found one account of anyone having reliability issues.

    Check out my lease agreement

    At my last apartment, on two occasions the maintenance people entered to change the lightbulb on my balcony. I had intentionally unscrewed the bulb halfway, as I didn't like the light shining into my living room, and I also wanted to be able to stealthily slip out onto the balcony at night, if...

    ruger 10/22

    My standard blued finish, wood stocked 10/22 will shoot minute-of-shotgun-hull out past 50 yards, and that with a cheap scope. I did find it helpful to remove the barrel band though. It has to be taken off to clean the gun, and unless it's reinstalled to the same consistent torque, the point of...

    What do you practice at the range with .45 100rd limit?

    I don't follow a regimented practice routine, but I always make time to practice my concealed draw to a shot. Usually only 15 to 30 of these per outing, using whatever I'm carrying that day. Do some one-handed, some two handed, some stepping left, some stepping right. I really feel that a fast...

    Garland Business owner's son kills suspected copper thief

    I don't think he was shot for stealing copper, the same way I don't think the two intruders in Joe Horn's incident were shot for stealing property. He was caught in the act of burglary by an armed man. He didn't comply with the armed man, and likely threatened him or advanced towards him. So the...

    Anyone Ever Have Buyer's Remorse After Buying a New (or Used) Gun?

    Yeah, if I stretched the finances too much to make the purchase. However, I've found a surefire cure: Taking it to the range!

    A scoped double rifle?

    Saw this on Cabela's. For the life of me, I've never seen a scope on a double rifle. Is this common?

    Why choose 8 pellet 00Buck over 9 or 12 pellet???

    Most of the 8 pellet 00 buck loadings are reduced recoil "tactical" loads. They'll offer reduced recoil, as mentioned, but most of them will also exhibit tighter patterns.

    New Holster for 3 inch Colt

    Ooohhh, that's pretty! I looked at HBE's offerings while looking for something for my own New Agent. Very nice work.
