    Tiny hands, tiny budget, recoil sensitive...she needs a gun

    Went throught the same thing a few years back with my wife. Went to many gunshows so she could handle a variety of handguns, she ultimately picked a Firestar Model 43 in 9mm. Ordered one in with the starvel(brushed nickel) finish, and headed off to the range; end result is she loves to shoot...

    Have you tried the Russian bullets from Wideners?

    I got the following reply on AR-15.com, it's the only reply from several forums from someone who has actually used them. I think I'm going to go with the surplus 62g penetrators that are collet pulled, they run around $60/1000.

    Have you tried the Russian bullets from Wideners?

    I'm interested in the .224 62g FMJBT Russian bullets that Wideners sells, but not willing to buy 1000 without some feedback. Anyone tried them yet? I'd be using them for my RRA carbine SHTF/Blasting loads, not for target shooting.

    Chicago-idiot cops raid wrong house

    My solution is to sleep next to a FAL & an AR-15 with full magazines with an 870 & P89 to take care of the cleanup after the main massacre. All jokes aside, I took English 102 (research papers) last summer, wrote my paper on the trashing of the 4th amendment; you wouldn't believe what I...

    Cheap surplus ammo & reloading

    Considering that brass is the major portion of the cost of a round, and reloading allows reuse of that portion of the cost, I just can't bring myself to stock up on Berdan primed surplus. Shoot it once and it's gone! There may come a time when the surplus isn't available any more and new...

    Range Etiquette: Magnums versus Shell-Shuckers

    I had one trip to the range when everyone stopped and came over to check out what I was shooting... Just some warm .357 mags I had loaded using blue dot! Not only were they loud, but they were also putting a vapor trail down range for several feet. People seem to get more upset over my FALs...

    Ruger MKII 512GCL Help

    If you can get your hands on some Kroil, try letting some set on it for 24 hrs. Works better than any other penetrating oil I've ever used.

    Constable arrested on gun charge

    Somewhere in a budgeting bill, there is a constraint that the BATF isn't allowed to expend any funds on restoring felon's rights. I can't remember the particulars, but it came up a while back in the case of an american gun dealer who was convicted of having posession of illegal ammunition in...

    Constable arrested on gun charge

    Even if he gets a pardon from a state official, he will still be in violation of federal law! There is no venue for restoring firearm priviledges under federal law.

    MA: Troopers training to carry submachine guns at Logan airport

    I would be happy if I could buy a legal, suppressed MP5 for $2500, even if I couldn't carry it into the airport!

    Ex-Wife and a Gun

    It only took me 11 years after the divorce to get a Ruger Security Six back from my 2nd Ex. Funny thing about was that I only got it back because she didn't want it around the house for her 10 year old to find!
