I'm located in Minneapolis, and the city ordinances prohibit carrying of a knives other than folding knives under 4 inches. Just something to keep in mind if you ever head into the city. To be fair though, 4 inches is pretty liberal, and I don't honestly think I'd want to carry a larger...

I picked up a Western Auto Supply Revelation Model 205, a store branded Mossberg 472, and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about these lever-action rifles? They seem to be pretty rare, and while I don't expect it to be worth much, it's really hard to find info on them. 1. It's got a...

Very cool story. Considering it took place in the aisles of a train, the robbers were armed with knives, swords, and fake(?) pistols, and the man estimated that the fight lasted 20 MINUTES :eek:, it sounds like it was 11 knife fights one after another.

It's nice having pro-gun states. But, it seems unnecessary to me, like using the state legislature to go :neener: to people who don't like guns. To be honest, everyone trying to get the government involved in the "culture wars" (of which guns are only one aspect) is something I just find...

Wow, it's probably just me, but I get the eeriest feeling looking at that texture. It looks organic... alive almost. Like the grip is formed from a shoggoth or something (obscure sci-fi reference). I'd be afraid the glock would try to absorb my hand, lol.

The idea of a polymer double-barrel was mildly intriguing... I mean, they're making polymer everything else, so why not (think ruger lcr)? Then I found out it's just a wooden stock painted black. :scrutiny:

Scratch that, fixed by pulling downwards on the trigger with pliers while pulling the bolt rearwards.

I posted a similar thread in the rifle forum since I wasn't sure where this should go. I disassembled my Mosin without any issues, but after I reassembled it I noticed the trigger pin had fallen out. It would be simple enough to put the pin back in if I could disassemble it again, but I can't...

So, I disassembled my Mosin without any issues. But, I didn't notice that the trigger pin had fallen out before putting it back together. The problem is, without the trigger pin in place, I can't remove the bolt. Without removing the bolt, I can't reach the back screw to disassemble the rifle...

So, I just picked up a Stevens Model 350 on sale this weekend. But, I'm not sure how many shells are supposed to fit in the tube. Some websites list the capacity as 5+1. The Savage website is decidedly vague listing capacity as 5. The manual says the tube holds only 4. Using 2 3/4...

I don't carry it on my keychain, and I can't compare it to the other lights, but the ITP A3 EOS is definitely a keeper. Small, handy, decent bright mode and super long runtime on the low mode. It's not prohibitively expensive and uses commonly available AAA batteries. Very good as a general...

I was young, impressionable, and going to a public middle school in a nice, quiet suburb outside of Chicago. And, as everyone knows, it's just common sense that only bad guys would carry guns. When asked to pick a topic for a research paper, I decided I would write all about the wonders of gun...

There's a video floating around test-firing different handguns from inside a pocket. A hammerless revolver can reliable fire where semi-autos fail to eject and hammered revolvers catch on the pocket material. A hammerless j-frame in a coat pocket potentially provides a 0 second draw, in that...

I didn't say 9mm was better than .45. They're both better at different things. I'm just saying capacity isn't a complete non-issue as you imply (that's why manufacturers designed high-cap 1911 platforms). In any given situation, more rounds in your magazine is better than less rounds in your...

Are they both supposed to be examples of "ugly"? Because if so, I think maybe something is just wrong with me, because I love the look of that second one. What is it?

Dang, I had no idea my my Glock was secretly infiltrating my home with European socialism. I'll definitely be on alert now. :rolleyes: SOME people who buy 'black guns' want to be ninjas. By that argument, EVERYONE who buys a coachgun wishes he were a cowboy. :neener: There are lots of...

I think that when most people talk about "blinding" someone, they mean the effect on someone whose vision has already adjusted to darkness rather than during the day or in a lit room. In those conditions, my light certainly has very detrimental, if temporary effects on a person's vision. There...

Actually, I have been thinking about getting a light specifically to leave in my car, mostly for illumination but also as a little "attitude adjustment" device if necessary. I figure that would give me 2 lower levels of force at my disposal. Bright light and improvised club are good options...

One comment on strike bezels, semi off topic- Since the chance that I'll have to actually use them is very small, it should be noted they can be rather inconvenient depending on how you carry the light. I hear carrying them "down" in a pocket can tear a whole in the bottom over time, so I carry...
