So I think the batteries I put in my Homak safe are almost dead. Both the red and green LEDs were on the other day, and wouldn't let me in the safe. Now it wants a 5 digit code to get in, but both codes (the one it came with, and the one I made for it) are only 4 digits. Homak CS is closed...

Family friend of ours went to Gander to buy an AR 10, but all they had was out of his price range. So instead he walked out with a Sig AR pistol. Can't remember exactly which model, but for the purpose of this thread, all we need to know is that it's OAL was over 26". He gets a call from...

Used to tag along duck hunting with my dad in Canada when I was younger, but never really participated. I'm a little unsure of exactly when MI duck season runs, too. I don't have a boat or a dog old enough to train to retrieve em. Does anyone here hunt from land, or have another way to...

I mentioned to a coworker that I wanted a J frame, but that I might have to trade my current carry gun, an STI Spartan IV in 9mm for it. He showed interest, and told me he had a 642 that he's be willing to part with. With my gun comes with 550 rounds of 9mm, 50 rounds of Gold Dots, 3...

I've been carrying for a little over 3 years, now. Got my permit as soon as I legally could. I've been fairly lucky in the holster department, and don't have the drawer full of useless holsters. I did a lot of research before purchasing any holsters, and read what the more experienced had to say...

My brother is becoming an EMT soon, and he's looking for a knife. Requirements are that it's AO, 4" or less, tanto blade, metal grips, and a window breaker. What fits this (or most of this) description?

My carry gun is parkerized, but is worn/ getting thin in some spots. Surface rust is starting to become an issue on hotter days, and especially during extended range visits on these hot days. So I've been thinking about refinishing it. I thought about sending it out to get some sweet finish...

I swear, I have the worst luck with defense ammo. I started carrying Hornady in different weights and flavors a few years ago, but had bullet setback with every round in their lineup. So I swore off Hornady, and haven't bought any since. Then I started carrying Winchester's PDX1 in 124gr. +P...

As I said in my last thread here in the shotgun forum, I picked up a gently used Mossy 500 for my $50 and my S&W Sigma. Came with a 28 inch barrel. That's nice and all, but I don't really have much use for the 28 inch barrel other than fun. I would like to start duck hunting, but that may not be...

Along with a 100 round value pack of bird shot, and 3 15 round packs of 00 buck. And all I got to shoot was about 40 rounds! I took my future sister in law shooting with me, and once she picked up my shotgun she didn't put it down! Before I knew it that 100 round box became a new target down...

I was hunting the local goody stores trying to find a snubby for carry, and trying to see what I could get for my S&W Sigma (a pack of bubblegum, basically). Was about to give up after not finding anything when I decided to try one last shop. They didn't have anything I was interested in on the...

Let me first say that I'm not a revolver guy, and my use of them is fairly limited. But I'm thinking of buying one for carry. Now, I'm sure a lot of people like .38 special, and that's ok. But I would like a little more oomph, but not as much as a .357. Plus, all my auto loaders are 9mm. And...

Anyone shot there recently? I remember hearing stories of the "neighbors" setting spiked boards near the entrance, and a few other sabatoge acts. I'll just assume its still a mess, and bring a garbage bag to do my part.

I was talking to my father (who is a Canadian citizen/resident) last week. He mentioned to me that he finally got around to changing his will he set up 15-20 years ago. He also mentioned that the will states that I am to inherit all the guns, now! My dad is quite healthy, and just hit his 50th...

I'm looking for a new IWB for summer. Currently I carry in a knock off of the Milt Sparks VMII. I enjoy the style, but not the one from the maker I currently have. I could buy one from a better maker, but I've been toying around with the idea of trying something new. I'm torn between the...

I was at my local Walmart today, and stopped by the sporting goods department to check ammo. They were of course all out, but I did talk to an employee for a minute. He said that they were no longer getting full shipments, and that as soon as they had ammo to distribute they were sending it out...

I get a weekly newsletter from MCRGO, and in it they have a lawyer answer a few questions. I read through the Q&A this morning, and found something I disagree with, and would like to see what everyone else thought. Here's what the newsletter said: Here's the part I have an issue with...

Earlier today I saw Kimber's Facebook post of their new "Micro" series of 1911's. basically the same as Colt's Mustang and Sig's 238. My question is (and I've never compared a Sig 238 next to their new 938), is there still a market for these small "1911's" in .380? I've noticed a lot if small...

I've been watching the MCGRO site in regards to the senate bill 59, which is supposed to head to House this week for vote. Problem is that the wording of the bill seems to change every day in order to keep the Governor happy, or whatever. Does anyone have the current wording if SB59, and...

I remembered a member asking about painting his front sight a few weeks ago, and I suggested bright nail polish. My 1911 is parkarized, which includes the front sight, which made it hard to pick up. I've already done this with another gun, and kept meaning to do my 1911 sight. I went over it...
