I've got a similar problem w/different caliber. I was in a hurry at Cabela's the other day and grabbed a box of .36 Hornady round ball for my 1851 Navy Uberti. Didn't even look at the box til I got to the range and THEN noticed that the label said .35" actual. I can easily press these into the...

Well said. I still occasionally buy a new gun if I gotta have it NOW. But I love buying used guns. I examine each potential purchase much more thoroughly than a new one, and by the time I get it home I know it very well. And if, post-purchase, I don't like it or don't shoot it well, I have...

Good report and photos. Sounds like it would make a nice companion to my PM9.

Wisconsin's rule is a little tricky. What you quoted does pertain to muzzleloading handguns. But the general rules for muzzleloaders apply to handguns as well. One of them states that your muzzleloader (handgun or long gun) must have a solid threaded breach plug, which your revolver does not...

Here's my contribution, emailed to [email protected] a few moments ago:

I'm new to the PM9 Brotherhood; bought one about 6 weeks ago. Prior to buying, I'd heard that they liked to stay clean. Is that anecdotal, or is it an official Kahr recommendation? Honestly, though, anything I carry will be cleaned shortly after firing. I've heard of guns that don't need to...

You might want to give American Pioneer Powder FFG a try. Two weekends ago I was out shooting my .50 with some 240 gr. lead sabots I picked up cheap. I shot 15 rounds and the last loading was as easy as the first. Didn't clean it until I got home. Accuracy towards the end wasn't much to speak...

+1 on the Glock 20. Easy to shoot, accurate, hi-cap, fast reload, alternate anti-personnel with heavier slugs, total package. You can't practice for cheap, but it's easy enough to shoot you don't have to practice much. This gun was born for the role you describe. I'm not a Glock lover, but when...

Krav Maga... Didn't he play left wing for the Islanders?

Ditto Razor. I got my copy last fall in the WW value bin for $5.50.

Banding together like that does smack of collusion. Even if it is perfectly legal, it doesn't sound very American. More like a cartel. Not good for oil prices OR range prices. I also agree that they should raise session fees rather than skewer you with ammo prices. At least that's being...

"Do-it-yourself home vasectomy kit...another bad marketing idea."

I bought a slightly used PM9 less than two weeks ago. Been to the range with it twice, about 150 rounds, not a burp. It has become my constant companion as well, replacing a S&W M60. I love these little Kahrs!

With the new information, the 'smith does indeed appear to be a dangerous buffoon. But even a well set-up light trigger will go off easier than a heavy one. I mean, that's the point. It would thus be easier for a casual shooter to fire, release trigger in recoil, clench hand to recover control...

Joel - I know MPCCA does not prohibit carry in state parks, or the state fair for that matter. For the purposes of this thread, however, I was stating the position of the Minnesota DNR so the thread starter knew that he may be headed for more trouble than he envisioned. Even though he would...

If you're thinking ahead far enough to bring along a survival firearm, you should also be packing a GPS unit and spare batteries. But as far as the gun goes, mine might be a 4" .357 with both .38 & .357 ammo. Mild .38s don't damage small game much, and the .357 would be more effective for...

The DNR's position is that it is NOT legal even for a permit holder to carry in a state park (state forests are OK). Unless you want to get your 15 minutes of fame, probably not a good idea.

I've got a Bersa Thunder .380 and a new PPK. The PPK is a FABULOUS gun, NO BITE, VERY accurate, VERY reliable, better PRACTICAL sights than the Bersa (even though the Bersa has adj 3-dot), and extremely well-crafted. You CAN'T get 3 Bersas for a Walther - only 2. If you want a gun to look at and...

Chances of any of us regular citizens having to draw our weapon is quite small. The chance of having to draw that weapon, then switch to a BUG for some reason, is much smaller still. So those willing to settle for a smaller caliber BUG are a) assuming that BUG = deeper concealment = smaller gun...

Jim - if the nipples were rusted that badly, how did the spark from the cap ever get through to set off the powder charge?
