    8 Shots: Enough?

    I tried reading through all the pages, and hope this is still relevant. If this is for HD, and at those distances, and if the desire is for capacity.....then....what about the Aguilla Mini shells? They are 1 3/4" and come in 00 Buck, 7.5 bird and slugs. You can fit 12 in a Mossberg 500, 20"...

    Need Help Deciding On 5 New Guns

    Great that you are all set. One idea....since the shooting sports are very much your hobby....and you seem to have done quite a bit....have you thought about making your next purchase one that could propel you into a higher level of one part of this avocation? Examples: High precision Bulls...

    7.62x39mm Semi-Auto Rifle - Ruger Mini 30?

    Apologies if this is all wrong but....if the goal is an inexpensive carbine that is reliable, accurate and low recoil....for occasional and just in case....then.... might it be easier to sell/trade the ammo for .223 and get an AR, than to compromise on the carbine? What is the goal? Why the...

    shotguns for home defense pros & cons

    Good point. Although, the difference between a 5 inch barrel and a 16 inch barrel for standard 9mm ammo is about 50 ft lbs. Might be as much as 100 ft lbs for +P ammo. 357 mag is much greater. Not sure how much over penetration there is with 9mm HP. And, of course.....the point of using a...

    shotguns for home defense pros & cons

    I have always liked the idea of a shotgun for HD, but when it came down to a choice as to what to augment a pistol with.....I, personally, came to a different conclusion. A shotgun seems great, if there is one attacker, the BG is framed in a small space (doorway) and you are groggy and cannot...

    ---lights on or off---?

    Defense in depth. - Motion sensor spot or flood lights on the exterior to surprise BG's. Hope to drive them away. - Entry ways lit to deter BG's from standing there trying to get in. - One dim light on in the central interior: Helps preserve your night vision, while providing enough light to...

    2nd Amendment: For the militia, or because of the militia?

    In the English language, commas can be used to separate independent clauses.

    Match Pistols

    If you are unsure of the kind of competition you might want to get into....don't worry about it. Get the gun that you will have the most fun shooting. Or, get a 1911 framed 9mm. You will never regret it. It will help you learn the 1911 platform, while serving as a excellent range gun, very well...

    Match Pistols

    What is the goal at the range and what type of competition? If BE, then the Stock III is heavier, a tad longer sight plane and better, adjustable sights. If IDPA or similar, the CZ75 might be easier to run around with. Back to BE....to me....really depends on the trigger. I *think* these...

    G43 trigger ?

    Have had several Glocks, and modded nearly all of them, over some years. It is easy to do, since there is so much after market support. You can get a Glock trigger to do just about anything you want to, lighten the pull, reduce pre and over travel. UNFORTUNATELY.....anything (and probably...

    Homeowner shot confronting intruder in NH- how could this have been different?

    And that is why wifi cams are very helpful. Avoidance is a good rule...use technology to help you see through your home. Simple. And I seriously doubt that anyone calls 911, every time they hear a simple noise. It is pretty easy to listen for a short while to determine whether or not there is...

    Homeowner shot confronting intruder in NH- how could this have been different?

    Very sad. Have a plan before anything happens. Stick to that plan. BR door locked Alarms on all doors and windows Weapon within reach while sleeping Cell phone within reach while sleeping. If possible....wifi cam with view of important areas. Keep a small light on in main part of the home...

    Female Australian Pro-Surfer Turns In Her Surfboard For A Rifle While In US

    Met an Aussie traveling the US some time ago. Very anti gun. We had a long conversation. Gave him a session on gun safety. Then, took him to the range to shoot a SIG 226 and 228. In just a few min, he was grinning ear to ear, high fives and had me take a pic of him posing with the two pistols...

    Gold Cup Match Need Help

    IIRC there is a spacer you can get to convert a series 80 to series 70. Good deal on the Gold Cup. Great gun.

    Legal Question about marine transport of handgun

    When you are in NY waters, you are not legally allowed to have your handgun. Just as if you drove to NY and stopped there. The local water cops and USCG may ignore this, countless times. And they may not. If they do not, you are likely going to jail. Depends on the cop, time and circumstance...

    Legal Question about marine transport of handgun

    I am no expert, nor an attorney. Waterways can be state, national or international. For your purposes, I assume we are talking about inland waterways and not offshore (not past the COLREGS demarcation line, or beyond the 3 mile or 12 mile limits). In that case...as far as I know....that is...

    Hearing Protection Act: Is this U.S. Senator lying, ignorant or just grossly misinformed?

    "What if" scenario's are all the anti's have, but they use these to good effect. It is charitable to call these 'Straw men'.... they really are just fantasies.....really more lies... aimed at evoking an emotional reaction. And that is the problem we face. How to counter an emotional argument...

    Hearing Protection Act: Is this U.S. Senator lying, ignorant or just grossly misinformed?

    Criminals use guns illegally, all the time. Legality is no bar for them. If suppressors really gave them an advantage, wouldn't they being using them more often? You can make a suppressor, very difficult to make a gun. We do not see many suppressors used in crimes (how often have you read about...

    Hearing Protection Act: Is this U.S. Senator lying, ignorant or just grossly misinformed?

    I would be fairly confident that the distances between a shooter and people that can hear the shot, are closer on city streets, than on the plains of Africa. And wasn't that what Sen Gillibrand (D-NY) was so concerned about, in her recent tweets? A bad guy using a 'silencer' equipped gun to gun...
