    Had my First (and hopefully last) Squib

    My only squib to date was with factory (sorry, don't remember which factory) Russian steel-cased ammo in my CZ 82. I didn't notice a problem until the next round, which bulged the barrel. So I learned a little bit about gunsmithing rebarreling it, though it's never really been the same....

    Sig Sauer P226

    I have one I bought some time around 1990 or so. Great gun. As has been pointed out, the SRT trigger is worth it.

    Cross dominance and both eyes open

    I am only very weakly right eyed dominant. The only way I can shoot a shotgun with both eyes open is with tape obscuring the barrel on my left lens. The only way I can shoot a pistol with both eyes open is to use safety glasses that have a "cheater" right lens that focuses my right eye on the...

    Cross dominance and both eyes open

    I'm sorry, but this is simply not true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness

    Remington 700 ADL 30-06 firing when safety pushed to fire

    I've been very happy with the feel of the X Mark (ie new Remington design) trigger I put on mine after I joined the "fires when you take the safety off" club. But now it's under recall due to some of them being misadjusted at the factory. So I'll be getting a Timney.

    Public range safety concern

    My local range is similar, though without the amount of space hidden. On the other hand, there is a berm behind each target stand, so it would be easy to not be noticed for quite a bit of the walk. In practice, it's not a problem. When you get to the range, if someone is there it's obvious...

    Sig 226 Lock Time Myth or Reality?

    I have no idea what lock time would have to do with quiet (are you maybe a victim of auto-correct?). Speaking only for myself, I'm not good enough to notice the lock time on any properly functioning firearm I've ever shot. One failing the Sig P226 does have is a *long* reset. I've put the...

    ATF rule change on powder

    The deal with the airbags is Takata switched from sodium azide to ammonium nitrate to have a less toxic product. Unfortunately AN is very hygroscopic, and over time the propellant breaks down. Apparently when it goes off after that happens, the explosion is too powerful and also gets shrapnel...

    Self Defense Ammo Law

    If possible, I'd appreciate it if people could steer back to the original stated purpose of the thread: is anyone aware of any case law in which the prosecution made a particular point of the ammunition carried? And did it appear to make a difference in the end? Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

    Favorite pistol

    Browning Buckmark with a holographic sight. But my (Uberti) Remington 1875 is giving it a run for its money ( I've only had it out once so far) Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Bushmaster lawsuit may proceed

    A related question crosses my mind: there were 26 deaths, and only 9 families involved in the lawsuit. Does anyone know what's up with the others? Did they accept a settlement? Did they just feel Freedom Group wasn't responsible? Are there other lawsuits pending? Sent from my Nexus 7 using...

    Well done Virginia! Hats off to Governor McAuliffe!

    One of my other interests is dog training. When training a dog, you correct them whenever they make a mistake, and reward them whenever they get it right, even if they got it right because you were jerking on a training collar at the time. Politicians are the same; McAuliffe got one right, and...

    Heaviest Trigger Pull You've Ever Encountered?

    I've got a friend with a Cobra Derringer. Good God. Didn't measure it, but it's like they compensated for the lack of a trigger guard by making it impossible to pull the trigger. I suggested she take it to a gunsmith and make sure it was really supposed to be that heavy.

    Beretta Silver Snipe trigger group disassembly/reassembly

    My shotgun's trigger group has some screws that are loose enough that it's causing malfunctions, but can't be accessed without disassembling it. So... does anyone have a pointer to the procedure? I realize going in that the standard advice on this is "don't", but I'd like to take a look. The...

    Recoil of single stack polymer 9mm models?

    My Nano isn't nearly as "snappy" as my CZ-82 (which is heavier and shoots a less powerful round, but is a blowback action). Your best bet is to find a way to try what you're interested in, and see how it shoots.

    Can I gift my daughter a gun?

    Frank, you're one of the real assets on this forum. Thank you for your knowledge, willingness to share it, and patience.

    Straw purchase? SORRY

    I'd suggest you reread Frank's post #3 in this thread -- down at the bottom, under "aiding and abetting".
