    Ferrous metal in bullets ?

    As we are in the middle of a big duck & goose hunting area, we know a lot about steel shot and can easily distinguish it on the X-rays.

    Ferrous metal in bullets ?

    Thanks to you all. And, I did correct the typo. We are Neuroradiologists at LSU Interim Hospital, which serves as the temporary replacement for the much larger Charity Hospital of (Louisiana) (at) New Orleans. To date, the three of us have seen all sorts of GSW's; civilian & military, and...

    Ferrous metal in bullets ?

    As a teacher of brain & spine diagnosis to young physicians and as a clinical physician on the faculty of a large urban trauma center, I and colleagues are often faced with the question of whether a projectile contains ferrous metal; if so, would it be safe to place a person with that...

    going to see the Grand Canyon....

    You can get TSA regs from the government website; print them. You can get individual airline's regs from their websites or customer service; print them. Carry copies of both sets on your person. Many ticket agents, gate personnel, etc don't have a clue. Don't attempt to get any...

    Anti-Gun Politicians Attacking Law Abiding Citizens Instead Of Criminals. My solution

    There is an interim step. Since many violent street crimes are committed with stolen handguns; why not make it a mandatory five or ten years for stealing or possessing a stolen handgun? OTOH, I do agree with those who say "Just arm all of the potential victims". leVieux

    Concealable Revolver

    Guns in NYC

    New York City Just don't go there. I have never been there in my 67 years and am not about to go there now. Just don't go. To Hell with NYC. Same with Chicago. Just don't go! leVieux

    Need advice on a subcompact 45ACP

    We have several .45's, incl Colt, Glock (30 + 21), Kimber UCDP,etc. The Taurus PT-145 Millenium Pro is the best all-around piece. We also have all sorts of other piistols, including Glocks in .45, .40. & 9mm. The Taurus is the best carry piece, hands down. Contrary to an above post...

    Why so many anti-NRA?

    Let me try to answer this. I am a long time NRA & TSRA Life member, NRA-ILA donor, FoNRA committeeman, etc. After the Neal Knox mutiny, Wayne LaPierre took absolute control of the NRA by changing the bylaws, rigging a ponderously large board of directors, and controlling the nominating...

    First time buyer

    We have many of the pieces named above. My main carry is a Kimber UCDP 3" in .45acp. The most used piece is the G26, for many reasons. It is our go-to piece. Large selection of holsters & accessories, ammo available anywhere, fits in pocket/purse, takes extended magazines, very...

    Taurus 45

    Taurus opinions There is a true division of opinion on Taurus products. I have several, including the PT-145 Millenium Pro, and have never had any problem, whatsoever. My son bought a new PT-145, claimed all sorts of malfunctions, and hated it. He traded it in for a GLOCK 30, which he...

    Taurus 45

    I usually carry a Kimber or GLOCK, but really love the Taurus Milenium Pro PT-145. It is difficult to find a holster for it, but, o/w, it is great. Same size as a G26, but gives you 10 + 1 .45ACP. Mine have never malfunctioned in any way. I hear folks complain, but we have tried all...

    Walther PPK/s Review

    I have about 55 years experience with the smaller Walthers. My dad brought a 7.65 (32acp) back from Germany at the end of WW-II, n.i.b. with accessories. I fired thousnads of rounds through it and never hit anything. Later, I bought a .380 for CC, before it was "legal" and carried it in a...

    New S&W 637 from Cabela's. Sad state of affairs.

    Rugerlvr, Thanks for this brief but important educational post. It made me pull the Scandium J-frame out of my bathrobe pocket for inspection. Its stainless barrell insert looks well-finished. Merci, leVieux

    Ways to reduce recoil on 12Ga Maverick 88?

    Rand, you have every right to be ignorant and arrogant. Enjoy your day. John, it was a joke, OK? Sorry, I surely don't want to offend any 320# weight-lifters. It is just that I have seem so many erroneous shotgun stock-cuttings that have ruined shotgun stocks over the years. I am...

    Ways to reduce recoil on 12Ga Maverick 88?

    Quote: I believe the point was to shorten the stock a bit so you could then add a thicker pad which *does* decrease felt recoil. What was that about "expert"? END QUOTE. No, that is almost always the wrong thing, because the standard LOP is usually too short to begin with. If one wants a...

    Ways to reduce recoil on 12Ga Maverick 88?

    Shortening a standard shotgun stock will increase felt recoil for almost everyone. I am a sportsman, not a "tactical" shooter; and, therefore, have fired hundreds of thousands of rounds of shotshells of various gauges and loads, from everything from a Sauer Ejector through my modern...

    Ways to reduce recoil on 12Ga Maverick 88?

    1) Shortening a shotgun stock is almost always a big mistake. The typical 14.5" factory LOP is too short for the average American man, already. 2) Find someone who is really knowledgeable about shotgun stocks instead of soliciting peanut gallery misinformation here. 3) Are you a bunch of...

    Iraq Vet Stripped of Right to Bear Arms.

    As an old physician and medical school faculty member, I have been watching this entire "labeling" of persons develop for several decades. "Autism", "anti-social behavior pattern", PTSD, dyslexia, etc, are all being abused so that bureaucrats can categorize people and do bad or questionable...
