Agreed.

Unfortunately, in today's Wal-Mart society, everyone wants more for less, including myself. Old-world craftmanship has gone by the wayside as CMC-machines take control. The desire for quantity versus quality is the Corporate mantra, even though the latter dominates the marketing blurbs. Poor...

Honestly, I find it odd I would need to convince someone who already owns and enjoys guns to buy a new one.... my wife would love you! I have a passion for 40's, but I've always loved 45's. I also love the more Ruben-esque women, the one's with some meat on the bones. Maybe it's the sight of...

Thanks Malamute! Beautiful picture, and for a "thrashed" rifle, it cleaned up very well. What kind of stud band is that on the forearm? I've been looking for something like that.

The gun is at the 'smith now. Hopefully, I'll get the final verdict soon. What I did notice, which does add some validity to Malamute's statement of the case sticking to the chamber walls, is that the cases with backed out primers are "marked" or very slightly scored evenly around the entire...

The mixed load in the revolver was a conscious thought, though I would never consider it in a pistol. The revolver was chosen as the primary "home defense weapon" because of the fact it can remain loaded for long periods of time without concern for springs under tension or other considerations...

Manco, you have very valid points, and I do not disagree with any of them. I'm looking at this more from the perspective of "I have chosen this specific weapon, in this specific caliber, with this specific cartridge to protect my life". All of these factors play a role, some more significant...

Unfortunately, all autoloaders are not created equal, and some have trouble reliably feeding some bullet types. My ultra-reliable Sig 226 in 40 S&W does not care for 180gr flatnose bullets. It will eat virtually anything else, but not 180 gr flatnose from a particular manufacturer. Who, by the...

I would urge you to go to a "rental" range, and try all of them that you are interested in carrying. See what fits best for you. For a new gun for carry purposes in which you may defend your life, I would urge you to look at HK, Glock, Kahr and Sig. Each has their advantages, and just like...

Provided equivalent shot placement, what evidence exists suggesting the JHP will stop any faster than the FMJ? Provided any projectile has sufficient velocity, construction, and/or meets with an object to initiate deformation, it will deform in some way. Due to it's fundamental construction...

I trust only a handful guns with my life. One of them is a Kahr PM9 in a Galco pocket holster. Not one FTF or FTE in over 900 rounds. I'm a tested believer in the Kahr's. You won't go wrong with that choice. A set of Trijicon's and an Agrip are the only modifications I've made, and are highly...

Thanks. I only fired a few rounds before I noticed the issue, one from each brand of ammo. Taking it to a 'smith tomorrow. Thanks for your thoughts.

Just got back from the range with a "new", to me, Winchester 94 .30-30, circa 1968. Perfect specimen of a 94. Good blue, good wood, not even the telltale carry rust on the receiver. Cleaned the gun thoroughly beforehand, nothing of note to speak of. The gun appeared to be well taken care of in...
