    Most Reliable Guns

    Every Glock I've owned has been boringly reliable. Same with a Beretta 92FS.

    CCI Mini-Mags: Too much gun for squirrels?

    Thanks for the comments, everyone. I think the next squirrel hunting trip, we'll include the venerable H&R single shot 20 gauge.

    CCI Mini-Mags: Too much gun for squirrels?

    Thank you for clarifying, you are exactly right. It's the travel I am concerned with. I should also probably add, for the one I hit in the head at about 7 yards, I did not find an exit wound. I didn't dissect the head to go looking for a bullet to confirm, but it was enough to suggest to me...

    CCI Mini-Mags: Too much gun for squirrels?

    The mini mags certainly group well with my rifle, so seemed like a no brainer to use them. Maybe I shouldn’t be concerned about the over travel. In theory, these may travel further than lighter loads, but when the bullet does start descending, I imagine the terminal velocity equation is still...

    CCI Mini-Mags: Too much gun for squirrels?

    I know this topic has likely been beat to death, and I've read other threads from other forums on the topic, but would like input. I went on a successful squirrel hunt with a friend this weekend. This was my only my second time hunting and the first time I've taken any game myself. I went home...

    Liberty Safes Gives Out Access Code

    To make sure I understand, am I correct that if law enforcement has a warrant against the individual, then they are authorized to use destructive methods to access the safe? If so, is there any fallout of law enforcement damages the contents of the safe while attempting to access it? I have...

    .350 Legend - .358 cast bullets yay or nay?

    I'm almost tempted to wait and see if .360 Buckhammer takes off and we start seeing other rifle platforms utilizing it. I'd be interested in a Ruger American Ranch in that cartridge, but not sure how much interest there will be.

    .350 Legend - .358 cast bullets yay or nay?

    I should have mentioned that my use case would be with a bolt action rifle only. I am not interested in trying out cast bullets in an AR platform of any kind.

    Why do/did you choose a revolver as your EDC over a semiauto?

    I acknowledge that some of this is irrational, and I’ll be in a peculiar minority here, but regardless of how much I understand about the inter-workings of various types of automatics and their safeties, I am not comfortable with my sidearm having its hammer or striker spring...

    .350 Legend - .358 cast bullets yay or nay?

    I’m considering getting into .350 Legend, but have one reservation. One of the things attractive to me about .350 Legend as a reloader is the prospect of being able to cook up loads using the same cast bullets as what I might load in .357 Magnum or .38 Special. However, it sounds like .350...

    Sight Height Math Help for Henry BB

    Can’t speak to your math, but I have the same sight and have worked through the same problem. First, have you tried shooting it with the existing bead with the loads you plan to shoot regularly? The main reason I personally went with the Ranger Point rear is because based on the anecdotes I...

    Largely unoriginal Colt M1911 (non-A1) Valuation

    I appreciate all the perspective you've shared. Good stuff. The generational divide in how things are viewed and valued, and the effect of time and distance, are always so interesting to consider. I have great respect for the greatest generation, and certainly don't begrudge the fact that this...

    Thanks! You've confirmed virtually all of my suspicions. I appreciate you taking a look.

    Are you "Gun Amish?" Or do you have a Red Dot on your pistol?

    I put a red dot on my son's 10/22 awhile back. Definitely fun to shoot. I see the merit of the red dot. I just have a rough time bringing myself mentally to rely upon a gun optic that runs on a battery. There's definitely a mental barrier that prevents me from wanting to bring electronics into...

    Reminder: Stainless steel does rust if not stored well

    I was recently working on a 10/22 for a friend. He was having some feeding issues with it and I told him I’d be happy to take a look. In the end, I diagnosed the gun to just be in need of a thorough cleaning (which I did, and it cleared the issue). What alarmed me most though was this: I...

    Largely unoriginal Colt M1911 (non-A1) Valuation

    Hello, A few years ago, I inherited my grandfather's 1911, which he shot in various steel challenge-type matches over the years. I believe he acquired it sometime in the 50's or 60's, and he shot it a lot. By my limited estimation, it is an original non-A1 Colt 1911 frame built circa 1918, in...

    Webley Mk VI .45 ACP Valuation

    Hello, I have a Webley Mark VI that was carried by my grandfather during WWII. It's one that had been re-chambered to .45 ACP. The story is that he acquired it from a Canadian Mountie when he was stationed up north prior to being shipped off to Europe. As far as I can tell, it functions fine...

    Carry position for fat men

    Oh, so I have a womanly physique, huh? Gee, thanks. :D I may not be fat by some standards, but I am definitely fat by healthy standards. There's nothing healthy about this gut hanging over my belt. :)
