    Scheels Sporting Goods

    I like Sportsman's Warehouse or at least I used to. They changed a lot after getting bought out a year or two ago. In Idaho I really love Black Sheep, here in Montana I like Bob Ward's.

    Another bite at the apple?

    Sometimes I'm a slow learner! :rofl:

    Another bite at the apple?

    Yeah, forgot the 1911 if we're speaking in generalities. I've had so many of them over the years! They never "stick" in my collection but every so often I try one again. For me great range guns but not really useful for the stuff I do with guns aside from plinking.

    Scheels Sporting Goods

    I spent half my life in Sioux Falls, SD and always liked Scheel's.

    Another bite at the apple?

    I'm just curious how many of you have sold a firearm only to buy back the same model later? If so, how often have you done so? Obviously this could happen because you were experiencing a financial crunch and needed the cash at the time (which happened to me once in my early 20s) or because you...

    22 ammo sticker shock

    I have tons of the stuff but don't reliably burn 100 rnds per year. My stash will last til 2150!

    The Knock-Out Game

    Like most folks I've read detailed crime stats, checked the police blotter and spoke with friends relatives in LE in various parts of the country. If you have a better way to find hard numbers I'm all ears! If you have good stats please don't keep us in suspense! :rofl: My suspicion, which I...

    The Knock-Out Game

    Barring anything compiled by the FBI in the UCI, I'd say this is more than an urban legend but far less of a risk than driving while using your phone. I dunno, I believe this isn't a total myth but my research and experiences tell me it's pretty rare. Of course I am in Montana these days, that...

    The Knock-Out Game

    True. But the average number of bee sting deaths per year is about 72, considerably higher than the combined total number of documented deaths that I could verify from this "game" since 1992. But I'll concede that this figure also includes wasp stings. In any event I will continue to avoid...

    The Knock-Out Game

    Good to maintain awareness! Statistically I think being killed in "the knockout game" is more likely than death by meteor but less likely than death by bee sting, so I'm not overly concerned about it.

    What new rifles are most exciting to you this year? Or over the past year?

    I'm practically hyperventilating waiting for the new PWS UXRs to hit the stores! 👁️🫦👁️

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    What I mean is I couldn't tell from the relatively low quality video if he missed the target or if his rounds failed to penetrate the glass of the side window. I couldn't ID the firearm from the video though I suspect it might have been a Judge or something like it. If so, .410 shot loads...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    One must take care not to attribute to malice what can be explained by simple ignorance. The video was 1:04 long, lots of stuff lead up to the events shown. According to witnesses (and at least a couple that knew the man) he has attempted to break up a carjacking. The carjacker broke off the...

    Is It Time To Stockpile Ammo?

    The best time to buy was yesterday, or five years ago. The next best time is now. It's always the right time to stockpile ammo!

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    Wow, pretty bad one! A man in North Carolina was killed while attempting to stop a carjacker. There's a video but I wouldn't recommending watching it if you can help it. In a nutshell, the good Samaritan drew his handgun to stop a carjacker but was ignored. The carjacker decides to take the...

    Is CCI Blazer aluminum case fading away?

    I've noticed that the aluminum Blazer stuff, and aluminum in general, is getting rarer. I had pretty good luck with it but I never buy 115 gr if I have access to 147 gr so I didn't buy it often anyway.

    pistol caliber rifles/carbines

    A long gun is easier to shoot precisely at every distance. The difference is of course more pronounced at longer distance but I've had many occasions to run handgun vs long gun against folks on the dueling tree. Back when I had my Beretta CX-4 Storm carbine I burned up many rounds on the tree...

    Revolvers, fewer is more

    I forgot the word but it's Swedish for "death cleaning". I'm only in my mid-fifties but I'm moving to a new place this month and accutely aware of how much crap I have. There's still a few firearms I want but mostly I have what I need. Going to focus on quality over quantity and choose things...
