Some time ago, my shooting buddy somehow acquired a bunch of 125 gn SWC bullets for .38 - 357. After looking through five different loading manuals and then doing an online search, we have not been able to find a powder charge for that bullet type and weight. We prefer to use Bullseye or W231...

Does anyone have an experienced recommendation for a really concealable IWB holster that fits the Astra Constable, for summer wear under a sorta loose T-shirt? Thanks.

I have an old, much-used Springfield Compact (i.e. Commander) 1911 which was in need of attention. The thing that finally moved me to take it in for service was its refusal to go completely into battery after a dozen or so shots at the range. I took it to my ‘smith, who charged me $25 and USPS...

The government should be able to regulate the content of any radio, television or internet broadcasts, including political or religious expressions sent out over the air or the internet, as well as political or religious beliefs expressed within buildings, through the use of microphones...

Dozens and dozens of police are at this moment surrounding Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Oregon, on report of "an active shooter" in the school. Students are streaming out single-file in two directions with their hands up. News reports are that five local police officers, first on the...

In the circles in which I move I am known as the guy who will take non-shooters to the range, several times if they want to go, and introduce them to gun safety, several different types of firearms, and the art of hitting what one aims at. My most recent such foray involved a couple who were...

The antis have come up with a new proposal that I think we should pay some attention to, as it just might have enough appeal to get passed by those who don't think things through. It is this -- require liability insurance for every privately-owned firearm, with premium amounts based upon the...

A flood of newly-released videos and eye-witness accounts of a two-year-old killing on the Mexican border has recently come into public attention, reviving charges that a dozen or more Border Patrol agents beat to death a handcuffed, helpless Mexican citizen. On May 28, 2010, illegal...

For any cowboy action shooters out there, a new firearms manufacturer – Arizona Territory Firearms (ATF) – will soon be producing a brand-new Remington No. 4 in .22 LR. It's scheduled to be introduced in Tombstone during Helldorado days next June. The manufacturers say it will be of much...

I don't know whether or not this post is permitted, since the earlier thread was locked, but because it is locked I cannot add this information, which I though some here might find interesting. http://le.atk.com/pdf/P40HST1_Technical_Data_Package-09-14-09.pdf Sorry, I've not yet learned to...

It referred to a number of academic studies on the effectiveness of various types of bullets, as well as interviews with police officers and others who had been involved in multiple shootings. I can't seem to turn it up.

My Lee Loading manual lists the "useful case capacity" for the .38 Special case as 1.30 cc, and the capacity for the .357 Magnum as 1.15 cc. I'm curious as to why the shorter .38 case would have 0.15 cc more capacity that the longer .357 case. Also a little concerned, as I'm working up some...

Is there anyone here who knows (really knows -- no guesses please) what is the correct bore diameter for .22 LR? Is it the same for rifles and pistols? Is it the same for bolts, revolvers, or semi-autos? Thanks for your help.

I've never owned a .22 pistol before, and suddenly feel the need for one, just to keep my hand in on days when going to the "big pistol" range is not practical. Funds are tight at the moment, and second-hand would be fine. My two primary concerns are reliable functioning (minimal failure to...
