Let's not forget Cary Anthony Stayner In 1999, serial killer Cary Stayner was the handyman at Cedar Lodge in El Portal, CA near Yosemite National Park. On February 15, 1999 Stayner murdered 42-year-old real estate agent Carole Sund, her 15-year-old daughter Juli and their friend, 16-year-old...

Revolvers jamming and tying up I have twice seen revolvers get tied up due to the bullets "crimp-jumping" and pressing against the frame, thus preventing the cylinder from rotating. I've also seen a shooter unable to pull back the hammer because the cartridges had backed out slightly in the...

Here are a couple of basic errors in your paper that Bogie did not mention. First, and most obviously incorrect, you switch tenses--from past to present. Second, you refer to the Chemistry major as "student" far too often. Keeping him nameless and calling him "the student" is fine, but you...

Creedmoor Position I first encountered it many years ago. I was about 16 years old and saw some guys shooting metallic silhouettes. One of the shooters asked me if I wanted to try it. He was shooting a Remington XP-100 in .221 fireball (a bolt-action pistol). He instructed me on how to...

No Kaboom experience here I've owned a Glock 17 for about 15 years. For a short period I was trying to relax as much as possible while firing. This caused stove-piping. I no longer hold it like a baby bird. No more issues of any kind. Also, I worked at a gun range that rented to the public...

I loved this movie! I've seen it twice. I'd see it again if a buddy needed a movie companion (I, for one, have no problem seeing a movie alone--I saw this one alone both times). The ending was different, for sure, but ended when the story was over. This was not a typical movie with a Hollywood...

The Calaveras County murderers My parents' neighbors had an incident many years ago. They were on their way to Yosemite (I think) and pulled over at some vista point to admire a view. They were standing outside of their car when a van pulled up and two men got out. My parents' neighbors...

The only flame I have for you concerns your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and lack of originality. I can understand someone making a few mistakes while typing up a quick reply, but as the original poster of an inflammatory thread you have no excuse for misspellings, sentence fragments, missing...

All pistols should be gripped as high as possible. I'm not sure what you mean by a "normal grip" but there should not be any space between the top of your hand and the little overhang at the top of the backstrap. I only mention this because I have seen many shooters grip their firearms too low...

Who wouldn't be impressed after reading about that torture test? And that HK USP comparison? No comparison! Makes me proud to own a Glock.

Yeah, I know it's not a new movie and I know that threads exist about movies with poor gun handling or unrealistic gun fights/scenes, but I just watched Man on Fire again last night and noticed a few errors. The first one: A Glock is fired with its magazine removed and a round in the...

whatever feels best in your hand CZ, XD, or Glock, would be my choices, and not necessarily in that particular order. If you like the benefit of having the same consistent trigger pull each and every time, go with either the Glock or XD depending on which one fits your hand best. I have...

This just happened at a local range A clerk was told by a shooter that the Glock 17 he had rented had failed to cycle after being fired. The clerk assumed that the shooter was limp wristing or guilty of some other user-error*. He took the gun, racked the slide, and shot a round to make certain...

pepper spray hurts! Very recently my friends and I thought it would be a good experience to be sprayed in the face with pepper spray. I'd had a cop friend of mine spray me years ago but apparently I'd forgotten just how painful it was. We were sprayed with our eyes closed. After about 10...

Happy owner or P-01 and 97B I bought a P-01 last March. I was so pleased with it that I bought the 97B in July the same year. I have ~1500 rounds through the P-01 with zero malfunctions. I have ~800 rds through the 97B with zero malfunctions.

Indeed she has! 20+ years ago, my mom bought me my very first gun, a Ruger 10/22 at Gemco (I think it was either $89 or $99). A couple of years later she permitted me to purchase (with my paper-route money) a Thompson/Center Contender chambered for .223 (I think that was less than $250). She...

You aren't supposed to spray it all over yourself. Bear/pepper spray cannot attract bears if its contents remain inside the can. From what I've read bear spray works quite well, especially if the bear is inhaling when it gets sprayed. The target is the bear's mouth/nose, and to a lesser extent...

I'm a relatively new CZ owner and fan I don't know much about the company's history offhand, but you can read all about it at cz-usa.com. I can, nevertheless, tell you about my history with CZ. Just about exactly one year ago I began to hear all sorts of impressive stories from owners of CZ...

My name is David. According to the Bible, Jashobeam was the name of one of King David's Mighty Men. These men were fearless warriors and could really kick some tail. 1 Chronicles 11:11 "This is the list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the Hacmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised...

Welcom to The High Road, Sawman Greetings, As I am sure that others here will tell you, brand, caliber, grip angle, grip size, barrel length, and action (SA, DAO, DA/SA, Safe action) are largely a matter of personal preference. Most people will recommend that you go to a gun range that rents...
