I recently got my CHL :D and although I carry a wheelgun I used a Glock 17to qualify. This was also the first time I'd used a semi. Half way through qualification I realised I was point shooting, and I really took to that Glock. My one problem was that with the over-use of gun lube and my clammy...

I live in a warm state at the moment but will be moving to one with a real winter. I carry a 357 loaded with 38+p rounds. How will I need to adapt for bulky clothing and extreme cold? Will a 357 round penetrate sufficiently (those Korean War stories spring to mind)? Any problems with revolvers...

Which semi-auto? Ruger, AK, Saiga? I'm trying to decide on a semi-auto rifle (I have one or two others but no semi-autos, and nothing in 5.56 or 7.62x39). My budget is low, ideally cost would be around $500 (new or used - yes most likely used). It should be reliable, reasonably accurate, and...

This is probably one for the UK members... Is it possible for an individual in the US to sell or transfer a rifle (not semi-automatic) to an FAC holder (via a dealer) in the UK? If so, what would the procedure be? Is it prohibitively expensive?

I have a great little Kershaw folder, with a blade less than 3", which is great for carrying around. As far as I can tell, I'm fine in TX, but I wanted to see if anyone can tell me if I'm going to be okay while in NM and CO. I got the impression that it dosnt count as a concealed weapon because...

I've seen an old Ithaca 37 for sale for less than a new Maverick 88. Its supposed to be in good working order but has some cosmetic blemishes - can I go wrong with this?

Last year I asked the DPS in each state if it was legal to keep a loaded weapon in the glove box of my vehicle. Only NM actually seemed happy to allow this, although none said "no". My memory is a little fuzzy - I seem to remember the "travelling" law allowed this, whether driving on a long trip...

"Good to very good condition" - what can I expect to find with a used pump listed like this. I've seen photos of a few minor dings and worn finish, but I dont mind cosmetic problems. Is it a case of "buyer beware" with internet dealers? Thanks in advance :)

My wife wants a knife like my Seal Pup. So, I'm looking around for something similar (she doesnt want the same thing). This is for out in the mountains, so I'm looking for a fixed blade (4"), full tang, and probably a similar coating for the blade (not shiny stainless), with a half-decent...

I'm looking for a good quality holster for my 3" sp101. By good quality I'm thinking around the $50-$80 mark, rather than the $9 uncle mikes I bought to try positions out with. I've had a look around (here and across the internet!) and the concealco ones seem to be pretty good - almost perfect...

I'll be traveling through all 3 states soon and dont have a carry permit yet. I contacted the TX DPS to ask for some clarification on the rules for traveling with weapons (I also emailed the DPS and AG office of all 3 states but havent heard anything yet). The response was not as useful as I'd...

I apologise if this has been done already, but I will be drving through TX into CO this summer, and I'd like to know how and where I can bring handguns with me in the vehicle. I vaguely remember a change in the laws on this, but a lot of people were still confused :confused: I may or may not...

I have a SOG Seal Pup with the Kydex sheath and now I want to try to find one of the old OD nylon sheaths for it. Also, I would like to have the knife in a drop-leg configuration to clear the hip belt of a backpack. Is there such a thing available to fit the Seal Pup?

Does $430 +tax sound about right for a new one?

I'm getting ahead of myself a bit here because I dont have my chl yet, but I'd like to get an idea of how folks carry when hiking or backpacking. Its just for my 3" sp101. I can't see belt holsters working out because of the backpack hip belts. My little Uncle Mikes IWB holster fits pretty good...

I'm looking for a snubby for my wife so we can shoot and get our CHLs together. I have an SP101 in .357 and 3". She thinks she'd like a snubby in 2". I want to be sure she will not get tired of carrying it, so we're thinking light. I dont mind if we have to go down to .38 +P because of that. A...

It took a while to save for but I got an SP101 (it was between that and the Model 60) new and I love it. Now its time to get something for my wife. We will both be getting our CHLs in the not too distant future and we are still getting into the world of shooting. I'd love to go out and get her...

I'm in the middle of planning stages for getting away from the city, and I figured this would be the place to get some ideas on books or websites which deal with backcountry living, self sufficiency, all that stuff. I dont think we'll be going off grid straight away, but I do want to gradually...

I've seem countless pages on the 30-30 lever action, but not too much on suitable ammo, and I understand lever actions are picky. I'd like to know what the best type and brand of ammo is: for target/range for hunting for self defense (and out of interest) for maximum penetration

With today's news on enrichment bringing events closer to the almost inevitable conclusion, its seems we're down to not if but how: http://www.guardian.co.uk/leaders/story/0,,1751128,00.html A comment was made in the previous thread on this that of course the plan was developed but that is the...
