    Upcoming courses in Northern California?

    I believe the HALO group in California is no more. They closed/sold their range in Concord and have not opened another to my knowledge. Check the Tactical Firearms Training Team, tftt.com. They teach classes twice a year in the Sacramento area. Very good. Check Advanced Weapons &...

    Futuristic, or any of you with magazine disconnects. Try this. With an unloaded gun and magazine, but with the magazine inserted. Press the trigger until resistance is felt and hold at that point. Now remove the magazine. Complete the trigger press. Hammer fell didn't it...

    ATF declares a 14 inch shoe string a machinegun

    Shoestring trigger I must be missing something here. The rifle will not fire again until the trigger is reset. This is done by allowing the trigger to move forward when the string slacks with the bolt to the rear which then resets the trigger so another pull is required. All I see this...

    Safe safe move Try to rent a lift called UltraLift or find a company that uses one to do the job. www.ultralift.com These are a wonder and very safe. I've seen them in operation. How about full sized vending machines to the 8th floor via the stairs by one man. And the old ones down.

    Crime caliber

    wrong ammo I have to take exception to pete_f's statement because in fact, "To answer the question bluntly, YES, you CAN do that" . A 40 S&W will fire, and sometimes function the slide when put in a .45 semi-auto and a 9mm will as will fire, and sometimes function the slide when put in a...

    Practicing with a .22lr...Does it really help?

    itgoesboom, I would recommend that you get a good gas operated airsoft pistol and then you can practice in your house with a "firearm" that actually recoils. This requires you to regain the front sight and reset the trigger as you come back on target for the next shot. They are accurate...

    exercise gun

    There is a carrier for bicyclists and runners that is effectively a wide elastic belt with a pocket. You put it on with the pocket in the back and the gun in the pocket. It fits to you so the gun doesn't bounce and as I recall from seeing it the gun doesn't print. You could also carry ID...

    Why concealed weapon in some states and concealed handgun in others?

    Beerslurpy and Standing Wolf, Actually I think the way the section is written it is a felony to use an unregisterd weapon. I believe it still stays a misdemeanor for carrying it without a permit. There is no firearm registration requirement in California except for assault weapon owners and...

    Question for NYS High Roaders: SU-16 Legal?

    Not from NYS but from CAlif. The SU-16 A & B are NOT folding stock firearms. They are folding action firearms which is why they cannot be fired when folded. As such they are ok in Calif where the SU-16 C is not. I suspect it may be similar for NYS.
