    Guns and dating

    Sometimes you just have to meet the family. In my case, I met my wife at a party. At the time I rode a Harley, and looked the part, had my own place and a job at a local gunstore. She was living with her parents so, I got to meet the family on the first date. When I walked in to meet mom and...

    Basic first aid

    Alot of thoughtful insight, many valid points, The whole area is a crime scene, very good observation, any attempt to help the victim, could be seen as,,tampering with evidence, yet another good observation. what if in the process of kicking the gun away, you accidentally kicked the BG in the...

    Basic first aid

    An excellent observation, my original thought was in giving aid to myself, or an injured bystander, as to the BG that indeed raises an entirely new topic. You just shot him, odds are you are off his xmas card list already. Getting close, to try to help him could indeed be a fatal mistake. That...

    Basic first aid

    In the course of writing my book the topic of first aid came up. You have decided to aquire a CCW. You have spent good money on a weapon, proper training, accessorys and other items. But, what if, you actually are involved in a shooting situation? The chance of injury, once the lead starts...

    9 mm FMJ Point Blank Gunshot Wound (Warning - GRAPHIC PICS!!)

    There have been numours "accidental" discharges with glocks. Far more actually then with other similar weapons. Some resulting in fatalities. Several departments have changed firearms due to this problem. True it is usually operator error, but we are human and sometimes not totally focused on...

    Changing cyclic rate

    Actually, I have probably fired more automatic weapons, (I could go into everything from 3 in naval guns, the 40 mm with and without amplidyne power drive,on down to small arms made in the usa/europe/and comblock countries etc, but it would take quite awhile) than you have seen ptk, and in...

    Derringers-How were they carried?

    The main cause of death, from derringers, was sepsis from poorly treated wounds. In most cases, the shots missed the target even at close range. Glorified in the tv show have gun will travel, I doubt in all the the wild west, there were half the kills Paladin achieved with his lil 38. in one...

    Car approaching a pedestrian fast at night

    The first rule, law, and truth, to a gunfight, and I have been in many, is to avoid it, run from it, if at all possible. The second is to find hard soild cover. If it had been a car full of gang bangers (for lack of a better term) you could have found yourself overwhelmed and out gunned. A very...

    Changing cyclic rate

    First, unless you are engaged in some mission specific operation, why on earth would you want to change the rate of fire. Already the rate of fire of the mac/cobray style weapons is an insane speed of 1,200+rpm. At this rate, hit probabilty is near 0, while ammo expanduture is horrific. In a...

    Reliability: Revolver vs. SemiAuto

    The main reason, the 45 auto replaced the s8 s&w round was stopping power. As auto pistols found their place in the military, their superior firepower took center stage. I am not aware of any reliability issues. Sounds like a slanted article designed to prove the writers point, rather than...

    Interesting facts on African hunting, just what PETA doesn't want you to hear!

    Isn't it odd that everytime some activists launches a cause to save something, anything, pick a topic, they usually create such a mess, nothing on earth can fix it. Happy that they did, "something" and oblivious to the damaged caused, they find yet another windmill to tilt. These types are not...

    south african battle packs 308 and brown bear 308.

    Alot of the russian/chinese 308 ammo, works well, but contains alot of charcoal. Silver bear ammo is a classic example. To reduce muzzle flash in weapons with simple design flash suppressors, such as the ak series. The russian/chinese ammo manufacturers add charcoal, this is a cheap filler, and...

    marlin 22 mag rifles

    My brother and I both have Marlin 22 magnums, they both have failure to extract issues. HGUNHNTR is right, the extractor is a very poor design. The issue is more with the 4 rd mag than the 7 rounder, but you do have to open the bolt slowly, and make sure the spent case comes out, before you...

    Ok, who's eaten predator?

    Looking over the menu, i'm thinking, um, roadkill, baked or bbq'ed, still looks like road kill. One of the best Steaks on the planet, is shark. The best flavored sharks are the tiger family. BBQ'ed with a honey almondine sauce, an easy $100 plus dinner in the finer resturants. Ingerdients, 1...

    Rust and Frequency of Barrel cleaning

    You go to the range, you shoot your guns, you go home, you clean your guns, that's just the right way to do things. If it is a carry gun, you visually inspect it every day, wipe it down at night, once a week or so put 1 drop of oil on a small patch and push it thru the barrel. Sometimes, if i'm...

    Let's talk about the new production Win. 70's, Ruger M77's and Rem. 700's...

    The last place in the world, I ever saw myself buying a rifle was,,um,,err,,um,,Walmart. Roll back price: Remington 700 w/2x-9x Bore sighted scope. Cammo stock $460. Available in 270 win or 30 06. I bought the 270. The action is smooth, perhaps the best out of the box trigger ever. 6 shots to...

    Am I missing something... Why are AR rifles so expensive?

    The Ar-15 series rifles, carbines, etc are in big demand, that is one concern that fuels the price. For a time when the country was in a buying panic it was simple, a store has 3 ar's and 40 people waving cash, up the price,up the price again, now there are 55 people waving cash. Things have...

    Taurus 24/7 pro compact .45 issues

    I have the same weapon, The problem is with the springs of the magazine, and the extractor. For the magazines, (and its not just taurus, lots of companies just use cheap quality springs.) rotate them often, tear them down, restreatch the existing spring, slightly. Check the follower, against the...

    Does safe capacity limit number of guns you own?

    It is a given, you can never have enough, or too many guns. That is a simple law of physics, like gravity or time, can't be changed. Sometimes another gun comes along, you just have to buy it, we all understand that. That will happen just like rain falling. Poof, another gun showed up. Family...
