    Has anyone seen what Dan Wesson is doing to their slides?

    My GSG .22 1911 has a lot of text on both sides of the slide. Very ugly and annoying. But it's a good shooter. Cheers, Dr. Detroit

    I have a problem with "Shot placement is key" and "Overpenetration"

    I'm not so sure this is true. A drug-crazed robber entered a pizza store near my city and pointed a shotgun at the clerk, demanding cash. When the robber was momentarily distracted, the clerk drew a 9mm pistol and shot the guy several times at very close range. But it was only moments until the...

    Has anyone heard of this...and why would you want it, specially at that price?

    Since the .38 projectile is being shot from an unrifled barrel, will it not then severely tumble? Won't this make it very difficult or impossible to hit the point of aim? Cheers, Dr. Detroit

    Making a Marksman - What is the Right Age?

    As others have said, you can teach safety from the very beginning. I started marksmanship training when my sons were 10 and 11. The younger guy has really enjoyed working his way up the NRA/Winchester Marksmanship Qualification Program. This is great go-at-your-own-pace, family oriented...

    trip to alaska what to pack?

    In addition to your camera(s), bring a journal and take some notes if you're so inclined. My mother, now 89, went to Alaska as a child in the late 1920s and still recites very specific details of that amazing trip today. Cheers, Dr. Detroit

    "Stopping Power" Study

    The article is written by the same author who believes that students should be taught to disobey (at least sometimes) school lockdown protocols. (See that article here.) I'm not saying he's necessarily wrong, only that his opinions (on both ammo stopping power and school lockdowns) are...

    What would you have done?

    It's always better to stay as calm and civil as possible, but I understand your reaction. I've experienced incidents like this myself and they are extremely unpleasant. I'm surprised by the rangemaster's lenient reaction. I guess it depends on your club's rules, but I would have expected the...

    USA Today 2nd Amendment

    Anti-gun articles, polls, and editorials are one of the big bread-and-butter items for newspapers today. The topic stirs the pot, boosts readership, participation and circulation. Heh, 2A is a miniature stimulus package for newspaper all by itself. It's all about the advertising dollars...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    This is my first post -- this thread seemed like the perfect place to start. Last gun purchased was a Rock Island GI 1911, bare-bones model. I like it a lot, but I don't have any skin in the '1911 v. Glock' game. It's all good. Dr. Detroit
