    I am done with Alliant powders!

    For the past ten years I have reloaded my 9mm, 380ACP and 38 special ammunition with Alliant powder (Power Pistol and Bullseye). Now I haven't seen any Alliant powders on store shelves or online for over a year. So, that's it! I'm officially changing all my reloads to Hodgdon propellent (HP...

    Looking for opinions

    Do the bad memories with this gun outweigh the good? If so, I'd get rid of it. It's not a keepsake if it has negative memories attached to it.

    The Gun Feed.com

    I just checked the website again. It says the site has been suspended. YIKES! :what:

    The Gun Feed.com

    Does anyone know what has happened to thegunfeed.com website? I visit it several times a month for firearm-related news (it's kind of like the Drudge Report, but just for firearm news). Anyway, when I've visited the site the last couple days, a message comes up that says, "This site has...

    Oakland County Sheriff

    I don't have the printed comments, but I did watch live on the press conference immediately following the Oxford school shooting. I thought this officer did an overall outstanding job of handling what had to be a very difficult situation. I agree with the OP's observation about Undersheriff...

    Do you store ammo in your safe?

    I store only unloaded guns in my safe. Ammo is stored separately, as are all mags (which I store unloaded). I think it makes for a more efficient use of my limited safe real estate.

    Cultural shifts relating to firearms

    I just think that guns and, by extension gun owners, have been so stigmatized by the press and others, that I am reluctant to display my guns or even otherwise openly support guns for fear of theft, property damage or verbal abuse. I know that this should not be, yet I believe that this is the...

    What happens after Rittenhouse is acquitted?

    I also agree. Rittenhouse clearly has damages, at the very least, to his reputation. He certainly is entitled to compensation. Get ready for more BLM "protests" too.

    How many tool heads and conversion kits do you have for your progressive press?

    Like the OP, I also have a Dillon 550B. I have tool heads for the following calibers: 380 ACP 9mm 38 special 45 ACP 223 Rem. This allows me to reload for all my firearm calibers (except 22LR, of course). They work great, and I'm quickly back up and running whenever I rotate the calibers I...

    His vs Hers

    So one of my sons-in-law bought identical handguns for my daughter and himself (S&W Bodyguard 380). Now he's trying to think of ways to tell the guns apart without spending anything else. I'm thinking a dab of different colored paint on each front site. Any other ideas?

    Carry guns with hammers

    Sig 238. This 380 cal. is a great pocket carry gun. External hammer and frame-mounted safety, This gun is my favorite CCW.

    Great gun for recoil sensitive shooters

    I agree with all the observations made by the OP about the S&W EZ in 380. My wife has it as her nightstand gun. It's reliable and really easy on the hands in all regards (we are both 66 years old). Plus, it's easy to take down for cleaning. I also have a sig 238, and all of these qualities...

    Bulgarian Makarov CO2 .177 BB

    I also have the same BB gun as the OP. I love it, but have issues with 2 things: 1) The CO2 cartridge is good for about 100 shots in this gun. It can't be stored once opened, so you better plan on a shooting session of at least that length. Also, this means that it can't be kept ready for...

    If you had to add another chambering to the stable

    Even though it's fallen out of favor, .40 S&W. I have TONS of spent brass for it already, though no gun (range pickup brass). I also would have to get the reloading dies for it, so that makes my entry into this caliber quite expensive. On the plus side, used handguns chambered in .40 are...

    Symbiosis

    My wife and I are retired. Her hobby is quilting, mine is guns. We just recently started sharing our basement for the purpose of pursuing our respective hobbies. I have had my gun hobby in an unfinished part of the basement for years, but we only recently remodeled the other half of the...

    help me pick a new 9mm powder

    ^^ This is exactly what I use my 9mm reloads for too. I have been using Alliant Power Pistol for about 12 years now. I love it. It meters well and has a satisfying flash/bang when ignited. Very reliable and readily available.

    Once-fired 9MM that is really once-fired

    I always assumed that "once-fired" brass meant that it had been fired at some time in the past (probably multiple times). Not literally just one time.

    Money Bomb the NRA

    I contributed to the NRA-ILA today and also signed my wife up as a new NRA member. I'm already a member of both NRA and GOA.

    NRA-ILA, SAF, GOA, which for the 24th?

    I am already a member of both the NRA and the GOA. I mailed a contribution to the NRA-ILA yesterday (they should get it tomorrow). However, I will sign my wife up for an NRA membership tomorrow. She will be a new member. So, new NRA memberships, or extending existing memberships might be...

    Cancel NRA membership?

    Absolutely not! I've never used any of these NRA membership "benefits" anyway, so it makes no difference to me that these companies are separating from their NRA partnerships. I'm more ticked off at the linguine-spined companies themselves. I might actually boycott them now. In fact, in...
