Zak - are you using an Aimpoint atop of a Weaver rail (referring to your last pic)... yet another awesome setup. If there was a thumbsup graemlin to post here, I'd click on it. Are you using your own custom loads for your 6.8? Or are you sticking with the Remingtons? And is that a...

Zak - what's the finish on that barrel? Is it parkerized or coated? That's a great looking muzzle break, by the way... ah Hell, that's an impressive looking setup overall!

Of all the individuals in my neck of the woods that own an M1A Match/SOCOM/Scout, including myself (SOCOM), the ammo of choice is PMC .308WIN or Australian Military 7.62x51 ammo... with Federal Match trailing in third place - for cost issues, of course. The PMC, in particular, is what I...

Wow... didn't know that, Mace. You're a lucky and smart one to have picked one up already. Now I can't find any of the remaining M1014's with this setup in anyone's stock! :( Well, if I pick up on sporting clays again, I'll likely plunk the money down for a nice SigArms Aurora. Too...

Exactly what I was thinking! So did SigArms have a good showing of their Aurora Competition shotguns? I would love to get my hands on one of them! I believe the Benelli M1014 Tactical is a restricted item in California, as far as I know, particularly because of the...

I understand that. Not trying to be disagreeable, because I wholeheartedly agree with you that there can be a proportionate response to an armed confrontation. But the bottom line is, how do we know that Sergeant Rife didn't attempt a distraction or similar technique prior to the ensuing gun...

While compliance in any armed robbery is certainly the path to least resistance, I have been the first responder to a significant number of robberies where the victim was shot after complying with the suspect's demand. Sometimes I wonder if it's a demographic/geographic phenomenon. In this...

I think hillbilly's hit upon the key points re: the knife vs gun scenario - and although I'm in no way, shape, or form a knife fighting expert (or amateur for that matter), I do carry both a holstered pistol and a 3.5" Benchmade auto-knife. I frequently practice drawing my knife to the open...

Steve- I would have to agree with Badger in that in all likelyhood, your 5906's component springs are, and should be, still in good condition. By the way, I also have a S&W 5906 that I purchased in 1991, and I've fired well over ten thousand rounds through this Smith & Wesson marvel. Many...

Not to be disagreeable, but it's actually one of the worst options for hard-cover - you're right to question some of the things taught during your academy days. One of the most common pitfalls of hugging the curbside for cover is the propensity for projectiles to skip at the closest angle of...

I don't quite understand those rules either... National Parks - no... National Forrests - yes (okay to carry). Hmmmmmmmm.... isn't Yosemite National Park a... yeah, that's it, a National Park... ...I wonder if anyone remembers a guy named Carey Stayner. He might have committed two...

I've had my Beretta Cougar 8045 for a few years now and liked how I shot with it, liked how it was very similar in operation to my 92FS, and its quality fit. However, don't know if anyone else noticed this, but while shooting my Cougar, it seems to spit out a lot of lead out the back while...

The first Glock I shot was a G17 9mm... that was over ten years ago and I was completely unimpressed, disinterested, and besides, it looked fairly ugly to me. All that and regardless of the fact that I was printing an impressive group in the ten-ring at 7 yards. I attributed it to the suprise...

Personally, I believe that concealed carry is the preferred method for any offense/defense in an environment where you have no idea what the BG or bystander will do at any given moment. I suspect that it's a foregone conclusion that many armed individuals that are clearly armed (open carry)...

(4) "...and remember, Second Place in a gunfight really sucks." :D

Thanks to the skills and genuine craftsmanship of fellow THR member c-rum, I no longer suffer the dreaded "pinched thumb" from speed loading shotshells into my Benelli M1 S90... let me do some 'splainin' with some pics... Here's the original factory shell carrier pictured: and...

Response? Chamber check, unlock the front door, and yell... "Come on in, the front door's open! Just got my hands full counting all this money... " :D All kidding aside, without getting elaborate here, I'm all for the following: Chamber check, spare magazine, flashlight...

I must agree with the others regarding the S&W 5906 - I've owned one for the past thirteen years and it's never had a malfunction - it's really held up quite well. I'll never give that one up. On the other hand, I have the S&W 4566 and the S&W 4513TSW, and I've unfortunately experienced a...

Yikes... finding this thread was like finding a nugget of gold... I've been looking for an after-market change to the current shell carrier setup for my Benelli. My thumb can't take it any more! Jeff (c-rum) - so $25 plus the stock shell carrier in exchange for a modified shell carrier...

pip - thanks for the link, it's exactly what I was hoping to run into and it does answer plenty of my questions at hand re: the SOCOM model... ben - I too have wondered why this hasn't emerged much earlier, at least from SA's standing line of M1's - now that it's here, I'd like to jump in on...
