Hey guys, I have a mossberg 8 shot persuader setup for home defense and 3 gun comps. Have a knoxx spec ops adjustable stock on it. Recently, I got my wife to play with the shotgun more, and while the shortened stock (collapsed as far as possible) made it comfortable for her to shoot, the...

You'll find a LOT more people who have problems with the trigger transition than not in my experience. Ernest Langdon does a great job shooting that DA/SA trigger, and always comes up in these threads about DA/SA. However, he also tuned his trigger so that the DA pull was a whopping 6.5...

Not tried the novak mags in the sigs. I was using factory. Anyways, chip mccormick Power mags can be had for around $20. If the novaks are around that for the sig that's a good deal. It is possible to train yourself for the two trigger pulls (DA/SA). However, I've NEVER seen anyone get...

I own a scandium S&W 1911. Great gun. Fed everything I've thrown into it with no problems (including semi wadcutters). Far more accurate than I am. The downside to the sigs, IMHO, is the Double action trigger. You have two triggers to learn instead of one. You can solve that by getting...

This story kind of blew my mind when I read it before. We definitely need more people like that Gurkha in this world. http://www.khukuripalace.com I bought 2 of their kukri's last year (they shipped me 3 as part of a deal they had running and still have in fact) The $40 kukri's are...

Mine is there more for civil unrest than anything else. Two years ago we had a flood hit our area, taking our roads, businesses and all the power for about 3 counties. We had a lot of looting, robbing, and damned near rioting going on. During that flood, I ended up getting my vehicle stuck on...

I made a sneaky bag out of a large bag chair, removed the seam, replaced it with velcro. Keep my AK in it with the sling sticking out like a regular carry strap. Keep it behind the seat in my truck when I go places, keep it behind the front seat of our jeep cherokee when the family goes...

My bench is high enough that with the stool I have, I can reload standing or sitting. I've found I prefer reloading while I'm standing though.

Ah, but the rub is that many of the cartridges listed aren't handgun cartridges, they started life as rifle cartridges and were later shoved into pistols for various reasons. I do believe that at the time of it's creation, the .44 Rem Mag was the most powerful (muzzle energy wise) round...

It really boils down to which one feels better for you. I like the feel of my mossbergs.

NRA Shotgun training manual: Five Fundamentals of Shotgun Shooting: 1) Stance 2) Gun Ready Position 3) Swing to Target 4) Trigger Pull 5) Follow Through Follow the target with your shotgun, when you get to it, fire, while keeping your bead following the targets trajectory, even after...

I've shot both, and it's a coin toss. My Para's and my S&W's have been the only 1911's I've owned that ran out of the box with no tweaking or break in period. If you're looking for a good carry gun, the Scandium is quite a bit lighter.

Fogdor, I'm not saying external safeties aren't good. I'm saying that too many people use them as a crutch for poor safety habits. There was a video floating around a few years back where a female officer shoots her partner in the leg with her beretta while he was cuffing a suspect. She...

That's because SA calls the one the Milspec, and the other the GI Milspec. BTW, none of the GI's or milspecs are US made. The only "US made" guns come out of their custom shops. These are 90% finished frames and slides from South America that get the final fit and finish in their custom...

If you don't feel right not having a safety on your glock, you should do one of two things: 1) carry the gun for a week or so without a round chambered and get used to to the trigger never going off unless you pull the trigger (what most people do). or: 2) You should probably look at another...

I used the Agrip on my glock 30. It did a great job, especially when wet. Highly recommended.

I didn't say that I liked or agreed with the reasoning behind anything I cited. I was answering the original question of why more PD's don't issue lasers on firearms. I personally think it's BS, similar to the retirement of the PR24 (tonfa style baton) in favor of the collapsable batons due to...

I asked my MA instructor this question once, he's been an LEO for 12 years and a LEO trainer (handgun, shotgun, defensive tactics, EVOC) for the last several years. He said they weren't allowed to use them in IN for several reasons given to him by ILEA: Excessive use of force: In IN, the...

I had leading build up in my barrels/chokes using wincehster SuperX rifled slugs. I just had a customer bring in their slug gun to be cleaned, it took the gunsmith a LOT Of scrubbing to clean out the leading from the rifling. BTW, the defining characterisitc of a foster style slug is the...

Out of curiousity, did you experience any plastic or lead buildup in your choke tube? That's the reasoning behind not using rifled slugs in rifled barrels/chokes. I found this out first hand shooting some winchester rifled slugs thru a rifled barrel. If you're a typical deer hunter...
