He promised to run for governor of Michigan if Jennifer Granholm (a Democrat) won in '02. Well, Granhom comes up for re-election in about a year, and unfortunately there's no signs yet that Teddy is going to run. My wife is seriously upset by this; after seeing him speak at a local college...

There's a fine line between trolling and just a bit of innocent attention-whoring. Judging by the fact that Mr. Fox engaged this topic not once but twice on the FAL Files (here and here - note the return to the first thread after the second was locked), this is just flat-out trolling. Gotta...

The Aguila minishells will cycle in a Mossberg 500 or 590 if you weld a tab onto the elevator so that the shorter rounds don't fall through it. You could affix this extension with pop rivets or epoxy as well, for all I care. For your trouble, you get very respectable capacity from an extended...

You need to divide that number in half - there's only one combustion cycle per every two revolutions. Actually, an open pressure of more than 300 lbs or so is pretty uncommon for something like a stock small-block Chevy. Smaller multi-valve engines presumably run even lighter springs, as the...

I, um, have a friend who was once a few days late getting a "safety inspection" due to the Christmas and New Year holidays. There was no problem whatsoever with the local PD.

I'm from the Midwest, so what I don't know or understand about the South could fill many books. But I see little that's offensive about KotH - in fact, I see characters that remind me a lot of myself, my friends, and my family. If I had children, it'd be one of the very few shows I'd let them...

Yea, I'm really getting sick of both "sides" spouting-off their favorite papal views while selectively ignoring others.

I found 250-round bulk boxes of 147 gr 9mm GDHPs at Gander Mountain this past Christmas - I think it was just under $40/box. Not sure if that's a regular-stock item or not. Haven't seen the same deal in any other loadings.

Checking out Choose The Blue's* webpage is pretty interesting. It seems pretty much impossible to avoid supporting "the opposition", primarily because so many corporations donate heavily to both parties through their PACs and employees. This fence-sitting, it would seem, is intended to keep...

I'd recommend checking out the Buffalo Bore .44 Mag +P+ to understand what "+P+" really means. :evil:

6.0 gr of Unique has worked well for me. That does (going from memory) about 970 FPS from a 6" GP100.

Frankly, the full-house loads that I've cooked-up with bullet weights from 125 to 180 gr have all had a fair amount of recoil and noise. Was one end of the spectrum worse than the other? No, but they are substantially different, and I simply can't describe it much better than that. An...

The Hornady TAP would be the best choice in commercially-loaded ammunition (I recalled reading that they're going to now offer it as a self-defense ammo, instead of "LE only"). I haven't performed any unscientific milk-jug and wallboard tests, so I can't really comment on its performance. I...

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't its status as a pistol actually be a potential advantage in some limited circumstances? That would allow one to carry it in their vehicle loaded and uncased if they had a CPL/CCW. Doing the same with a, erm, uh, longgun (non-pistol?) is a big no-no, even with a...

Doing a 10-shot string with a warm barrel is probably interesting for some. For others, measuring the accuracy of a single shot from a cold barrel is equally interesting. It kinda depends on the intended usage of the rifle. Certainly, the typical 3-shot group probably has little correlation...

For me, the worst part about shooting the P-3AT is the beating it gives to my trigger finger. I don't find that it hammers the web of my hand all that badly. Anyways, 50-75 rounds is usually my limit before it feels like my fingernail is going to be ripped from my index fingers. Perhaps I...

Shooting 1500 rounds or so improved the trigger on my GP100, but even better results were obtained by going with Wolff springs that were just a touch lighter than stock. The only other modifications I saw the need for was a set of Williams Firesights, as I didn't like the stock sight picture...

I say let her stick with the SP101. My wife instantly took a liking to my GP100 and pretty much doesn't care to shoot anything else, regardless of the rationale. In other words, I echo Dienekes' comments - let her be.

I'd chalk this up to improved manufacturing efficiencies offseting any increase in material or labor costs; this is especially true for Imbel's Brazilian manufacturing capabilities. As far as material costs contributing to the cost of firearms, I call "BS". This may very well be the case...

The problem here is that the choice isn't clear-cut. Sure, a revolver perhaps has certain reliability advantages (a fresh round and chamber are only a trigger pull away), but without a doubt, it's harder for a beginner to put lead on target with a double-action revolver than with a "safe...
