    NC: Clayton man to test law, bring machine gun to store

    I don't know what to say to the comment above me. That's just absolutely idiotic to wish something so upon a law abiding citizen who is trying to challenge what appears to be unfair practices by the sheriff. If you'd bothered to read the article, he clearly states he knows he can be prosecuted...

    My mom wants a pistol. Help!

    Is there a reason she is set on 9mm? And is size an ultimate deciding factor? I will echo many other posters in saying she should shoot the mentioned handguns to see which she prefers. But subcompacts are not all that fun to shoot, and if she has a negative experience it may just deter her...

    Thinking of a new rifle

    I'm currently looking through rifles in .308 Win (mainly for availability and cost), and I want a multipurpose rifle that can handle a variety of tasks. I'd like it to be multipurpose in that it could be used for target shooting, hunting, and any potential situations that may arise. Price is...

    Making your own clays

    Figured the time involved in making these alone would make it cost more overall than buying from stores, but thought it might be an interesting DIY project. And yes, I know that clays are not made of concrete and mud. But concrete in big bags is very inexpensive and I was thinking that mixing...

    Non-metallic handguns?

    I think the easiest way to make something of the sort would be to go along the lines of a derringer. Ceramics can be extremely tough (while no where close to metals), so if you had an oversized derringer made of ceramic I think it could fire. As for the ammunition, something along the lines of...

    Making your own clays

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I figured it was closest to shotgunning. So I was musing last night about making clays on your own. Mud/concrete mix, poured into a large pipe, then cut and sun dried on some aluminium foil. Throw some orange spray paint on it for good measure. I know...

    Mosins will be gathering dust

    Haha send those Mosins over my way then... I'll keep the dust off 'em. How much does it cost to shoot the 7.5? Not too familiar with the K31 in general, but it seems that any ammo that is not in high demand will be rather expensive.

    Paul Helmke leaving the Brady Campaign

    I feel like the "Brady" campaign is more well known by gun enthusiasts than any of the antis. So it's up to us to keep their name in the shadows :D

    Manual safety is backwards

    Everyone scoffs at the High Point... but it's just so ugly it's intriguing. And what was the purpose of getting the HP? Is it for another range gun? If that's the case I wouldn't bother trying to relearn the safety, just go out and shoot it, and take a few seconds before to make sure it's on...

    1911 VS Non-1911

    Hey wb, I semi-live in the CH area and can refer you to someone in CH that may be able to help you with 1911s. Just something to think of if you still have the pistol when visiting. I would volunteer but I doubt I know even half the stuff that he or 1911Tuner knows.

    4-Shot .357 Any Kiddo or Felon Can Now Legally Purchase and Carry Unconcealed

    I thought airguns needed bullets designed for air. I could be completely off there, but always good to learn things. And the laws are always here and there. I remember reading an article a while back where drug dealers (with felonies) were carrying muzzle loaded pistols as a loophole. Those...

    Adding one to the family (9mm)

    Have you considered the PX4? I never really cared for the space agey looks but it fits great in my hand, its surprisingly comfortable to hold. Don't own one though so I can't say anything for reliability/accuracy. And I'll throw in another vote for the CZ-75. Or a clone of it (EAA Witness Match).

    Android Apps

    I'd recommend downloading the Amazon Appstore. They have a paid app for free every day, and sometimes you'll find good things to use. Plus it syncs with your Amazon account so if you do have to buy anything it is relatively painless.

    4-Shot .357 Any Kiddo or Felon Can Now Legally Purchase and Carry Unconcealed

    I believe airguns are still limited in age, but I can't remember if it is 16 or 18. And beyond all that, considering the airgun is $1500, I think price alone prevents most people from purchasing it. Even ammunition is extremely expensive for it. I honestly think it would be MUCH easier for...

    Nice conversion

    I'd imagine it took a serious amount of elbow grease to get it to where it is now. Great work, the thing looks new. Did you replace any other parts? Trigger assembly, bolt, etc?

    Bought a Mossberg 500 JIC 12 ga. & a S&W 5906

    The PG shotguns are always fun to use and it's not too difficult to learn how to shoot them properly (which I'm sure you already know how to). Only problem I've seen is clay shooting since it places the shotgun at a raised angle with multiple shots. I've seen quite a few people pop themselves in...

    Whats the cheapest ~30 round magazine capacity handgun?

    If you are considering HD as the main reason for this purchase, I would recommend a shotgun. The only reason a pistol sits on my nightstand is to give me time to get to the shotgun at the foot of my bed. Pistols are vastly inferior to shotguns when placed in an HD role, and shotguns are...

    whats reasonable for a Beretta 92 inox?

    Jump on it. That's a great deal considering most SS versions of the 92 start at 600 and are in limited supply. With the holsters/ammunition, I'd say you're both getting good deals. Plus your line of "ive always wanted one in stainless" justifies the purchase anyways, so other points are just...

    My first 1911 came in

    Haha I was thinking if I liked the RIA enough, I'd get another one just like it to have another to admire. A "brace" of some sort :D I think I need to go home and buff the back of the safety though. Did a full strip of it (one of many) and noticed the nickel on the frame under the safety is...

    What does your wife carry?

    Oh man, thanks for the laugh hahaha. I just got the mental image of a person (especially a smaller stature woman) lugging around a M249 :D
