Just finished talking to a, well, not quite friend but still good acquaintance. He is successful, respected, and even-tempered, the epitome of a level-headed law-abiding American. That's why what he said floored me all the more. We were talking about trigger jobs and I mentioned sending one...

We have a gun show here this weekend and I am going to set up a table. I won't be trading guns or anything, but selling my services. Yes, I am will be one of those "non-gun" tables we all gripe about so much. But wait, there's more... My table will be pretty simple - me, some cards, and...

I just got a Ruger M77 compact in .223. I took it out for the first time over the weekend and was sorely disappointed. The best group of the day averaged just under two inches with most being in the 2.5-3" range. As the barrell heated the groups opened up to a sickening four inches. This...

Okay all you obscure caliber types, some questions. I have a friend who inherited a Contender. One of the barrels is chambered in .357 Herrett. If memory serves this is a wildcat deamed up by Steve Herrett and some gun mag. I think it's formed from .30-30 brass, but don't quote me on that...

A local reporter actually uses correct terminology in a story. Not only that, it's actually objective and apolitical! I almost fainted. The site requires registration so I've extracted the interesting parts. From the Lubbock Avalanche Journal (12/06/2006) I made it a point to contact...

For all you Model 92 fans, I pulled Dad's saddle ring carbine out of the case over the weekend to get some shots. Enjoy. Brad

My father picked up a Smith revo at an auction a couple weeks ago. Since I know just enough about Smiths to semi-reliably call it a handgun, I need some help and opinions. I think it's a model 57. That's help topic number one. What is it really? It's chambered in 44 Special. Says so right...

A friend from our office has been hovering on the fringe of taking up my offer to go to the range. Yesterday he bit... In short, I've created a monster. I started him, as I start all new handgun shooters, on a Ruger Single Six. We progressed through the revolvers from SA to DA, then from...

He's got a new auction going. Enjoy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5173515848&fromMakeTrack=true Got to give him credit. It's a pretty imaginative way to poke ebay in the eye for being such goobers about gun-related stuff! Brad

Stranger pays bill to save reservist's home.... Many others also offer to help an Air Force reservist who forgot to pay his annual homeowners fee. By SHANNON COLAVECCHIO-VAN SICKLER, November 13, 2004 TAMPA - The calls and e-mails started coming in early, and they flowed all day...

After my ND last week, and the ensuing sleepless nights, I took it upon myself to comb through the General Discussion threads for all post made by Forum Members who posted their NDs so others could learn from their mistakes. Moderators, I respectfully ask for this thread to be stickied so...

Guys (and Gals) after 30+ years of handling guns safely I had my first - and hopefully last - negligent discharge last night. The blame is purely mine. Read on and learn... I spent the evening at some friends. They are thinking about getting their concealed carry license. Since neither of...

I was shooting over the weekend when a guy I've never seen sets up next to me. He pulls out a blue model 10 Smith that appears to be one of the $150 military/police imported trade-ins that I see at gun shows all the time. I figure, "No problem." I figured wrong. The first few cylinders...

Our local PD is replacing their aging Sig .40's and the officers have the option of buying their duty guns for a song. One of my co-workers bought one of these Sigs from a friend that is a patrol officer. The gun is in great shape and the price was right. The problem comes in with the mags...

I received a message over the weekend announcing that OLN (Outdoor Life Network) will be airing the premiere episode of Jim Scoutten's new show Shooting USA on May 18th. My apologies if this is a repost. Brad

A quick thinking 13 year old protects his mom and brother from an unknown assailant. Way to go kid! See the story here Brad

I searched for this before posting, so my apologies if its a repost. I pulled some numbers from the Texas CHL page (The Texas Dept of Public Safety). The numbers are for 2001 convictions of licensees vs non-licenees. Again, these are convictions, not arrests. All ratios are by...

Just a few minutes ago I received a strange, cryptic e-mail. I wanted to see if any of you received it as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sender - [email protected] Subject Line - ABOUT MY SON WHO HAD TWO GUNS LOCKED IN HIS TRUNK...

SCOTUS has just handed down a decision saying that random road blocks were okay when tied to "specific cases". Justice Breyer (who wrote the majority opinion) tries to downplay the underhanded significance of this travesty by saying "... the ruling likely will not lead to widespread...

Last night the "Mythbusters" guys settled the "guns cause planes to explode" myth once and for all, right there in front of the nations collective faces. In case you missed it, they took an out-of-service airliner, pressurized the cabin, and proceeded to punch some 9mm holes in it to see if...
