    What .45 For Self Defense?

    Hi I like stainless if you are carrying it CCW. Detonics CombatMasters and pretty much their entire line are excellent stainless firearms. Pick your size. Ed Browns' bobtail. Dan Wessons' now very expensive bobtail commander. Check Wilson as well. Colt's are classics in 1911's as...

    California Court: reasonable jury could conclude Glock design faulty

    Glocks and accidental discharges? This is not the first, nor will it be the last. The Glocks 'features' are also it's greatest liability. Pull gun, pull trigger, gun goes bang. Great for LEO and or people that don't train that much, and really aren't that into shooting. I'm not sure any...

    WTB A cheap deer rifle in alaska. Thinking mosin nagant m44. Any other suggestions?

    Lots. First find something that has rounds at .18 cents each, right now. 440 rounds, 85 bucks. It's light, it's easy to carry, and the trigger isn't great, but passable. First, define 'cheap'.

    The L.A. riots weren't that long ago. LEO and firefighters pulled out of areas, because they were targets, easily hit, and were taking fire. A perimeter was established. Pretty much they let things go, since they couldn't control it. My friends in the Pacific Palisades setup road blocks...

    What Self Defense Rifle?

    Politics determine how your law is applied in your area. Since the HR suggests we don't discuss law, I'm not going to make a recommendation for your HD gun, since I can't discuss your states law. What I would suggest is you contact your LEO and DA, and an attorney that would represent you, and...

    What Self Defense Rifle?

    "I have been looking around though, I like those 18" barreled STG58 DSA FAL's in .308. I wonder if, with a short suppressor (which I know would take some NFA paperwork), this could be a viable, practical self/home defense rifle. I do live out in the country, and I would also probably use...

    What Self Defense Rifle?

    Since we don't have a lot of data on the subject: .223 War seems to indicate it isn't a great stopper. 7.62 X 39: Looks like the minimum for a proven stopper to me. My rule of thumb is compare the weight of the attacker to the same size feral pig, or deer. Sure the pigs are tougher, but...

    What Self Defense Rifle?

    Mini 30? That sounds like a great gun. Fun to shoot, accurate, light, and not absurdly expensive. You may have sold me. I just looked at the ft-lbs of energy for the 7.62 x 39. I have three pistol rounds that with proper loads exceed the 1600 ft-lb range, the last nearly doubles the 7.62. They...

    affordable .45-70 Double rifle

    Merkel's and Chapuis work just fine. They are in the 4-7 grand range, new. 9.3 x 74R hits like a 375 H&H with the right ammo, and carries and shoots like a 6 pound 22lr. The point of a double stopper is your first shot, taken in haste, stuns or drops the animal for a second, giving you a chance...

    affordable .45-70 Double rifle

    Mr. Watson: yes, the gun was converted to .450 Nitro Express, and a stalking safety added. Jack Huntington's gun, and work. That's Jack in the pictures shooting the gun. He used it to kill a beefalo, around 2200 pounds, that felt like the truck they were in was a threat to his territory. Or...
