    2 small guns vs. 1 big gun?

    Here is an excellent example of an armed citizen who was minding his own business and suddenly found himself in a life or death firefight. He did not have a second gun, nor a reload, but would have benefited from one or the other...

    1956 Guns catalogue; guns for sale

    gun related dog names?

    We just got a new pup. Wife said to name it something gun related, so I did: "Skeeter D" (Dawg) (Skelton). If you have to ask, you're too young to know.

    Para P12-45: Good or Bad?

    I have one. It is great; But.... On its last trip to the range, the magazine started partially ejecting on each round fired. Even though I'd do tap-rack, the next round, it was again partially ejected. Finally determined the magazine catch was half-torn away. It is made of polymere, you...

    My dad wants a new rifle

    Marlin .45/70 If he likes lever guns, its hard to beat the tried and true .30-30. While the .30-30 will take mule deer with no problem, if he is concerned it might not, step up to the .45/70 Government. Originally adopted by the US Army during the Indian wars, the ability to reach out...

    An old SIG-Sauer P220

    That sig will be fine Binks, a little used older Sig should work just fine. Consider installing a fresh recoil spring, just in case the current one has compressed. Over time and use, older Sig recoil springs would compress, increasing the battering on the dustcover. I've been carrying a Sig...

    any experience with "justshootme" ballistic polymer targets?

    Just Shoot Me I bought a couple of them. Frames and round hangers were smaller than I expected. They performed as advertised, the bullet hole just closed right up. Shot w/.45 Auto. However, the shaft portion between the steel rod and the disk, if shot square, will sever. The steel rods...
