A Birmingham AL news station recently aired this segment, a very positive report on women arming for self-defense: http://www2.alabamas13.com/news/2012/may/10/fact-finder-women-of-caliber-13460-vi-129998/ Given the overall media climate, it's very refreshing.

I recently bought the above gun. The S/N is 23xxx, and it has normal commercial markings, but no military. However, it has the CAI import stamp under the barrel. Besides Brazil, where else were M1917s exported to?

I just tried to click onto Stephen Camp's excellent website, and got this message: "HTTP Server Error 503" "No server available to handle this request" WHAT IS GOING ON??? :cuss: :banghead:

About every two months we have a pretty good size gun show at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center. I finally got to it today with some money. Talk about a toy store! I had no plans to buy a gun (I didn't either!), but to pick up mags and accessories. Overall, I feel like I came out...

On the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters program, a team pressurized an old jetliner to simulate flight at altitude, and shot a 9mm through the fuselage and a window. The plane did not explode, and a dummy and foam peanuts in the cabin were not disturbed. Check your listings. The program is...

On the lower left-hand corner of today's USA Today's front page, there was a graphic showing Americans who support gun control in 1996 and 2004. 1996---68% 2004--60% WE ARE WINNING, especially when a left-of-center paper such as USA Today posts it.:)

According to a letter I received from Gun Owners of America, Jim Hostettler (R-IN) has introduced a bill into the House of Representatives, HR 990, called the Secure Access to Firearms Enhancement (SAFE) Act. this will mandate recognition of a citizen's CCW permit throughout the US. Beyond the...

The thread about movie guns prompted this question. In movies such as "The Matrix" and others, blazing away with two guns is the preferred method of gunfighting. Has anyone tried this for real? I have thought about it, but I can't bring myself to break all the practice and training I...

This is the second such video I've seen; it is a tape of a perp trying to attack a police officer with a knife. The officer shoots the perp once in the belly, and he walks around complaining and asking for a drink of water before he starts fighting the officer again. The LEO finally uses a...

As I've looked over the "AK vs Boar" thread, I found myself wondering if any enterprising 'smiths have looked into chambering an AK-clone for something in the, say, .40s, to improve on its advantages as a brush gun. I'm not hunter, so I don't know if something like the .444 is compatible...

Time to turn the roast. Given: At the beginning of the 20th Century, the revolver was universal issue in military organizations. By the end of the century, they had been totally replaced by autopistols. Why did this happen, since the revolver is cheaper, easier to operate and more reliable?

It will be held July 10-11 at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center. $5 at door. 9:00AM-6:00PM Sat 9:00AM-4:00PM Sun

Hopefully, this exercise in tyranny will end soon, and I've been wondering what direction the shooting industry and sports will go... Pre-ban, it seemed that makers were racing to see who could cram the most rounds into a workable mag. The ban, with the 10 round mag limits, turned the...

I found this link on another site: http://washingtontimes.com/national/20040616-110450-6418r.htm According to the article, a measure to allow police-both active and retired- to carry concealed weapons nationwide has passed out of the House Judiciary Committee. A good step in the right...

I just finished cleaning my Buckmark for the first time. My question is, what is the best way to lubricate it?

There seems to be a trend to build carry guns with barrel ports, supposedly to help manage recoil and muzzle flip. HOWEVER, to me this looks as if it would be a grave safety hazard. If the gun is fired from a retention/Speed Rock position close to the body, the blast and hot gases have to be...

If anyone happens to be in the Birmingham, AL area and gets the itchy trigger finger, there is a very nice range with a public range and a daily (non-member) fee: www.foprangeinc.com I recently stumbled onto it, and it's getting me back into shooting (the previous range was growing trailers...

The BHP v P5 thread has gotten my curiosity up; what has been the experiences of the members with the various copies/models of the Hi-Power? I once owned an Argentine copy (the only licensed copy, IIRC). I didn't shoot it much before selling it, but it worked fine when I did. It also had a...
