I doubt those numbers. I thought more 22's were sold than anything every year.

I don't know what is causing it but something has stimulated the market. Ammo here in the Northwest is dwindling and the demand for firearms is definitely up.

Neither the AK nor the AR would be a bad choice. Get what you want but buy quality. That means an Arsenal for the AK and Colt for the AR.

I think the answer to the selection of the 26 or the 19 has more to do with the size of the person carrying it. Obviously, the taller the person the easier it would be to carry (concealed) the 19. I have both and am 5'10" and have no problem carrying either in a Milt Sparks IWB. I agree that...

Training tapes are good for a variety of reasons. They show technique and a decent definition of acceptable performance. . . . . something you can use as a goal. While no replacement for professional training these adjuncts are much better than nothing.

A great final episode.

Looks like the tin foil is out.

Chicago. Nuke it from space!

CLP does dry/evaporate relatively quickly. For me I need to relube about every three weeks. That is here in the Pacific NW. CLP is fine for me.

Why is this a discussion? The answer is apparent. I think that people who believe you don't have to be fit usually are not and are trying to justify that fact. Healthy, fit people will naturally have more endurance, better health and higher energy levels . . . in general terms. This is not...

If you are limited to non-expanding bullets, I would suggest the 0.45 and shoot hardball. It worked fine for the Army and it is the most reliable feeding ammo for the .45. What's not to like?

There are some exceptional books recommended on this thread. I will not repeat any of those titles. Stillwell and the American Experience in China 1911-1945 Barbara Tuchman. Excellent history of Joe Stillwell and his role in the China-Burma Theater and his career. [/I]

If your intent is concealed carry then you should just purchase any Makarov and put East German grips on it. That will give you the most slab sided profile and most comfortable configuration possible

Let me see if I have this correct. You were thinking you could shoot through a car body, make a precision shot with people moving around inside the car body fighting?

For me, Mil-Spec means minimum manufacturing standards. Commonality of parts is important to me because I replace things, swap things and add things. Without the Mil-Spec standard nothing would fit. For Example, with the new Gas Pistons. Many manufacturers but no standards. When a military...
