    How many rounds before you trust A CENTERFIRE REVOLVER for carry?

    There's all kinds of threads saying 'I run 200 (or 500, or 100) rounds of defense ammo in my (whatever brand) semi-auto before I trust it to carry'. Well, what is a good number for a centerfire wheelgun, used for concealed carry?

    Obama: doesn't want to disturb the "traditions" of gun owners?

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290873,00.html If true, is he feeling the heat of the gun control policy a bit and backing off? If so, it's a good thing. Not that I trust him or will ever vote for him.

    Thinking of assembling my own upper, but am I missing anything?

    I’ve been throwing around the idea of assembling my own upper. I’ve never done this before and am not sure exactly what I want, but I wanted to make sure it was as easy as it seems. The article in this months American Rifleman sure makes it look easy, but it was lacking on detail. So, if I...

    Kahr PM9 vs. Kel Tec P11

    Ok, I hope this doesn’t turn into a bashing thread… :) I am pretty much thinking I am getting a Kel Tec P11, but there’s an outside chance I will get a PM9 instead. Any reason why I should get the PM9 over the P11? The real world numbers, listed below, show besides the P11 being slightly...

    Barrels beveled at the crown?

    I saw a SxS shotgun where the bores were beveled at the crown inside the barrel. They were just beveled inside aobut 1/8-1/4 of an inch. The shop says the barrels were not cut, and didn't know the reason why the guy did this. It appeared to be a decent job, but why would this be done on a...

    Is this rust in the bore?

    I was checking over a friends 20 ga side by side he offered me for sale this weekend and noticed some “brownish streaks†inside the barrel. It is in the last inch of the chamber, and then starts again about 4†up from the end of the chamber. Otherwise the bores look great. I ran Hoppes...

    Fox 20 gauge with 24" barrels - price??

    I saw a Savage Fox Model B series H today with 24" barrels. It is a 20 gauge. I see this one listed in my Gun Trader #23, but have never seen one around here. The blueing was in good shape and the wood was decent. Overall, 90-95%. They wanted $480. Is his way too high?

    Minnesota: article on Carry Law author Lynda Boudreau

    I thought this line was interesting: “Similarly, the gun issue — full of sound and fury a year ago — never became a major theme in the debate, the candidates said. "They didn't even go there,'' said Boudreau.†Interesting how the headline mentioned “Gun law authorâ€, yet it...
