    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    Mine was getting my Red Ryder taken away. I was about 10. My younger siblings were at the edge of the yard playing with my cans I used for targets and stacking them up. I was hiding in the woods and when they'd stack up the cans and turn around I'd knock them over with my bb gun. After about...

    P32 Failure to Eject

    It's tight and appears in good condition. I had field stripped and cleaned before I used it, and it probably had 200 dry fires through it before I took it to the range. What would make underpowered ammo put soot on the brass like that? I just sorted through my brass and the PPU brass is...

    P32 Failure to Eject

    I just picked up a new Keltec P32. Cleaned it over the weekend, lightly lubed it, and took it to the range this morning. Ran 150 rounds of PPU 71gr FMJ's and finished up with 20 rounds of Buffalo Bore 75gr hard cast through it. The PPU was extremely dirty and was flinging crap back at my...

    Building a lighter AR didn't work out so well...

    You hadn't mentioned this was P&W, that would have cleared things up earlier. What I do on my builds and you might want to try, is I keep a spreadsheet. I list the price of every component, it's advertised weight, and then I weight it on a postage scale when I get it so there's already a sum...

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    No I don't really change anything, I just swap my #2 to the #1 position. Normally my 3" K6s is my EDC but often you'll find me pocket carrying an LCP. When I travel I only bring the LCP because I know no matter what I'm wearing it'll be easy to conceal.

    380 Day

    I just have a lowly regular lcp but at least it has a story. My first one died on me with empty brass stuck in the chamber after about 10 years and 1200 rounds. For the life of me I couldn't get the slide back to retrieve the brass. Called Ruger, they said to send it in. Said it was...

    Building a lighter AR didn't work out so well...

    You did fine building a light AR, it's the accessories that are killing you. But if you want to lose more weight on the gun itself don't fight the suggestions that are being given to you: Pencil barrel, or at a minimum Faxon gunner profile Adjustable gas block lightweight BCG lightweight...

    20" vs. 22" Turkey Gun

    I believe you should have complete powder burn by 20", and with a red dot there's no advantage to a longer sight radious. And you won't be swinging this so there's not much reason to worry about balance. So the advantage of the 22" barrel is an insignificant lower amount of recoil and muzzle...

    Jury finds NRA officers violated responsibilities

    We (gun owners) should start a public campaign to thank her. She's done her good by helping rid us of WLP, and the next best thing would be to have voters oust her because we're clapping our hands over the ordeal. Personally I've vowed not to send the NRA a dime more than my dues until he's...

    Low price optics

    It's double your budget and you'll have to wait a few months, but I have 3 of these and they are an excellent value when Midway puts them on sale for $200 which happens a few times a year. I have 2 of them on .22's I take out to 200 yards and another on an AR15. It basically has the glass of...

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    I remember pouring over the Cabela's and Sportsman's Guide cataloge in the 90's and lusting over a mini 14 and all the accessories for them. Of course I was a teenager and unable to buy one, and as soon as I was old enough I had to buy my own vehicle and then pay for college and it was never a...

    My Child Is Pretty Curious, Do You Lock Up Your Guns?

    I've never been asked that but I have kids aged between 4 and 15 and if any of their friends parent's asked before dropping them off I wouldn't have a problem telling the truth. Actually just this past fall my 15 year old had 3 friends over and she asked if her friends could shoot jackalanterns...

    Choice of Handguns

    How does he intend to carry? The .380's are great for a pocket but the Glock is a very large .380 so for pocket carry I'd opt instead for one of the LCP variants. I still like my original LCP because it hides so well in my pocket, but the LCP II and Max are both good guns as well. Nothing...

    Am I nuts?

    I was reading the post and before I got to the end was thinking to myself "if that was me I'd convert that 4" barrel to a 3". I finally got to the end and saw you were thinking the same thing! Not sure I'd do that to a pristine gun though, maybe one instead that's a litte rough around the...

    What good are .22 LR shotshells?

    I used to know someone who kept pheasants and struggled with rats and mice eating the feed. To vcontroll them they'd go to the pen at night when the birds were roosting and hit the rodents with the .22lr shotshells without worrying about damaging anything inside. You had to be close to kill...

    870 upgrades

    The best accessory for my 25 year old 870 expresss is OIL!!!! I've probably rubbed a gallon of the stuff on it over the years and it's the one firearm in my safe that still likes to get surface rust if she doesn't get regular attention. Seriously though, a buddy had one with cycling issues and...

    What motivates your gun-related expenditures?

    I can't really generalize like this. My hunting related guns/accessories are all based on utility. Conceal carry is based on need/utility Strickly need as far as what I buy for reloading, although I got into it for exploration/curiosity. I've purchased, sold, or traded many guns for...
