    Standard Shotgun Could Be Banned

    The latest I've seen on the Colorado gun bill is at: Popular Standard Shotgun Could Be Banned Under Proposed Bill Long story short, any pump or semi-auto with a tube magazine that can be altered to accept more than eight shotgun shells is defined in the law as having a high capacity magazine...

    Short barrel ammo

    I recently purchased some Speer 38 Special +P 135 Grain Gold Dot supposedly designed with short barrels in mind -- http://www.speer-ammo.com/products/short_brl.aspx. I have a Ruger SP-101 which this ammo seems perfect for (at least on paper), but how will it perform from a longer barrel...

    S&W 629 comparison Q

    How does the S&W 629 w/ 6" barrel compare to the 629 w/ 5" full lug. The 6" barrel model is something like 0.7 ounces heavier, not significant, but how do these two compare regarding balance and muzzle rise with moderate loads? TIA.

    Barrel crown on the cheap

    Picked up a relatively inexpensive Kel-Tec SU-16CA 5.56 rifle. First thing I did was clean it and realized the barrel crown was awful with burrs grabbing the patch. This made me look at getting something to cut a new crown or chamfer the muzzle and I found 45° Chamfering Cutter. Hmmm. . ...

    More than Double Taps

    I did a quick search on Double Taps and found a good thread discussing them in a thread on Double Tap Questions. But that's just two rounds downrange. What is it called when you fire the entire magazine (say a dozen) with a flash picture before each successive round? TIA

    "Best" Powders for .38 Spl-.357 Mag

    Doing some research on the best powders to buy to build up a few loads from .38 Special (standard pressure) to .357 Mag rifle loads. The.38 Special (standard pressure) will be fired in a S&W Mod 12 (alloy frame) and a non +P S&W Mod 14. I'll probably use both 148 gr LWC and 158 gr LSWC...

    Air Rifle Question

    I'm looking at the RWS-350 and the RWS 460, both in 22 cal. The muzzle velocity on the 460 is impressive at 1150 ft/s, but how does pushing an air gun pellet above the speed of sound (1130 ft/s) work accuracy-wise. I'm thinking the RWS 350 would be more accurate and quieter. Any air rifle...

    9MM 147gr Gold Dot HP

    I've read a lot of posts saying 147 is great and others saying it sucks, is underpowered and prone to malfunction. LE seems to like it. All that as it is, what is the consensus on the 9MM 147gr Gold Dot HP? Is there a consensus?

    Pro's and Con's of shotgun gauges

    Am I looking for justification to buy another shotgun? Taking another view of the unfortunate shooting accident involving the VP, I see that the 28 ga shotgun he was shooting could carry a 1 oz load. That's about what I shoot using a 12 ga and the velocities are comparable. That being the...

    Full Tape on Osama a Woe Show

    In a recent NY Post article the 18 minute tape is discussed. 18 min of which the press has determined we should see only 6 minutes. Apparently the other 12 minutes makes Bush's war in Afghanistan look quite successful Democracy with little violence and lots of pressure on Osama which has put...

    Replacing Justice Rehnquist

    Either Bush or Kerry will be nominating a judge to fill the void when Justice Rehnquist leaves the SCOTUS. I for one would not want Kerry to be nominating a Clinton or other infamous liberal to the bench.
