If you move from out of state to Michigan, you just fill out the pistol registration with yourself as the seller and buyer, same as if you manufacture a pistol. The "green cards" have been gone for a while now. It's all so stupid and pointless. To bad the collective gun owners of Michigan are...

Bushmaster AR with 20" HBAR, A3 upper. I bought it used with full (heavy) LMT quad rail and bipod. No scope, just a detachable carry handle/sight. Paid $800 right after Obama was elected but before he took office. I swapped out the gas block front sight for a low profile and the fore end for...

I really like my 16" SS in .357. It was on my hit list for years before finances and availability synched up to get it. I honestly would have preferred a blued version, just because it would have matched my S&W Model 13 better, lol. They are great companion guns and my wife loves them above...

Hey yeah, that's right it does! Ya know, it almost makes one wonder what's the the actual purpose of the import ban...

I have the Rossi and I pure love it. I looked for four years to find a lever in .357. I saw 4 of them in that time at gun shows, shops, etc. It was always a matter of not the right bank balance at the right time. Finally I walked into a gun shop last year that I had never been in before...

It's never been a problem for me. From time to time I hear of folks being (overly) concerned about it, but I doubt many cops go out of their way looking to punish CCers, at least none of the ones I work with do. Heck, I've booked people arrested on non-related misdemeanors and had them bond...

Benchmade 710 in the off hand pocket and a ESEE Izula around the neck. I am fully aware of the limitations and problems with knives for SD. I still would rather have a last ditch option if I was down on my back and couldn't get to other options. I was once told by a buddy's dad (who was a...

I attended a seminar on church security in Grand Rapids put on by http://www.nocssm.org/ featuring Carl Chinn. Mr. Chinn has some resources and statistics on his website. As far as concealed carry in church, I just went the simpler route of asking my pastor directly. I also typed up a little...

Out of what I currently have? No contest, my S&W Model 13. Four inch barrel, natch.

Really? That hasn't been my general experience with LPPD. I'm not trying to call you out or anything, just saying that mostly I would characterize any I've attitudes I've encountered as "indifferent." As for Detroit, well, I certainly don't go there unarmed. I'm encouraged that the DPD Chief...

It took me two years of scouring gun shows to find some OEM S&W square butt K-frame grips for my Model 13. I also did not want to see new grips on a vintage gun. Most gun shops I asked said that they keep all the grips they can get their hands on for repairs and what not. The guy I bought...

These 5 I have (among others, but I would keep these five till the end.) -Remington 870 12ga -S&W Model 19 .357 Mag -Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22lr -POF P308 AR .308 Win -Glock 23 Gen 3 .40 S&W These 5 I want but do not have (yet.) -Lever gun in .357 Mag -AR-15 in 5.56 NATO (half way there on a...

As a historian and someone who worked in a the museum field, which entailed preserving artifacts and documents, all I have to add is this; Not everything that is old is a piece of history. Especially when there are 20 million of them.

Well, I would say that some people don't care about the "conceal" part as much as the "carry" part. If you live in a state, say, Texas, where there is no open carry but firearms are generally not a pariah, your only option is to get a concealed carry permit, even if you don't feel the need or...

Take a look at this chart from Ballistics by the Inch. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/357mag.html If you don't know about these guys, they take a particular caliber and load and shoot it out of a barrel, then cut an inch off and do it again. Repeat until no barrel is left. They also...
