    It is particularly desirable that the pistol instructor

    I did have to take lessons later in life. I had shot revolvers or a gun that could be handled like a revolver all my life. Then I decided I was going to get a Glock. At first I was horrible with the Glock. I just took lessons from a guy who was on his way to being a top competitive shooter...

    Will a UPS Store ship ammo-with no 'catch'?

    I used a prepaid label from a manufacturer or a gunsmith to ship firearms from UPS stores. I cannot ship a gun for $30 on my own but a business with a commercial account can send a label for $30.

    Pistol cal. carbine fans, what do you love about them?

    I have around $350 in my Hi Point including two extra magazines, a stock mounted magazine clip, 300 lumen light with a T6 cree bulb and mount for the light. I got the Hi Point in OCT. So far it has run over 1,100 rounds of all types of ammo from 147gr sub sonic loads to 115gr +P+ ammo without...

    Pistol cal. carbine fans, what do you love about them?

    For women and inexperienced shooters pistol caliber carbines are great for self defense. It is not hard to coax either group into shooting a pistol caliber carbine enough to be able to handle it under stress. I would much rather my wife used a 20 ga for SD. But she will not shoot a pump...

    When is a "new" Ruger American not a "new" Ruger American

    The iron sights on my Marlin XT 22MR were unusable without some machine work. Marlin sent a new rifle to my doorstep. Gun manufacturers have the full power of an FFL and can send a replacement rifle to your home.

    Ruger SP101 Misfit?

    If you protect yourself you have the right to refuse a gun. I do not buy from people who do not want to use the auction payment service. If people want to screw the auction service out of their fees will screw you. Probably half or more of the guns listed in an auction I will not bid on them...

    Which exotic? Elephant or Stingray?

    Exactly how do you get the hunter to the rouge elephant before it does more damage? Rangers, police, solders, anyone with the force of law and an adequate weapon will put down a rouge elephant.

    Personal firearm sale delivery service

    If I was running a delivery business and went through the legal hoops to become a common carrier I would not deliver/pick up a gun to anyone's home unless it was coming from/going to a factory or gunsmith for repair. Even though it would be legal fedex or UPS will not pick up a gun from my...

    Mossberg 510 20 gauge?

    I am not sure his recoil calculations are correct. A 30/06 has a recoil od around 15 lb. 15lb is about the max an adult can shoot comfortably. I have seen plenty of people bust their eye with a 30/06.

    Ruger SP101 Misfit?

    I have 3 Ruger Revolvers, 2 SA and 1 DA. All three has a cylinder gap of .01 when I got them. My super blackhawk was left in the bottom of a boat all winter. The exposure trashed the finish and rusted all the springs. I sent it to ruger to be refinished and overhauled. When it came back the...

    HR378 to Ban Body Armor

    I see how the gun law passed in WA now. Read the PopVox comments in regards to HR 378. There are a bunch of idiots who voted they support HR 378 but their comments are in opposition of the bill. I can see why Bloomberg thinks we are a bunch of idiots. How hard is it to grasp oppose and support?

    9mm gel test: 124 gr Federal Hydrashok

    No, they are Winchester Rangers and several other loads touted as for law enforcement. They are all 60 grain plus soft points. Why don't you just search YouTube for "223 soft point gel tests" or "5.56x45 soft point gel tests" instead of putting your hands over your ears and saying it aint...

    Does open carrying long guns really help persuade public opinions in a good way?

    There are restaurants where open carry of long guns is encouraged, but they generally have a gun rack by the door. I have been in rural restaurants that cater to hunters. In the city there is no gun rack by the door and they do not have a grooming rack to doctor your hunting hounds. I...

    9mm gel test: 124 gr Federal Hydrashok

    Youtube is loaded with 5.56 gel tests where the bullet only penetrates 10" or so. I have seen countless small deer that were killed by a 5.56. The bullet didn't even pass through the deer. At least a 22 mag will make a bullet pass through a deer. A small bullet can only take so much...

    I can see why people hate air rifles.

    I have never seen a dovetail scope mount work on anything. If it does not have a weaver or picatinny rail I would not waste my time. I have a Crosman Phantom with iron sights that has a lasted a lot of years and shot a lot of pellets. I used to have an indoor trap for the phantom until my...

    9mm gel test: 124 gr Federal Hydrashok

    Neither of us trust a 5.56x45 for SD. I would rather have a shotgun or a real rifle. My wife is jaded from all the bad gel tests she has seen from 5.56 ammo that is highly touted. The only reason I trust the Mod 0 is I have shot hogs with it. Most of the time a 5.56x45 doesn't do much better...

    decisions, decisions. Found a local hi-power. Yea or Nay

    It is a fair price on the gun. I am seeing New Hi Powers for around $880. I would look for a motivated seller before I bought another Hi Power.

    Winchester sx3

    I have heard the Winchester is made by FN. I would do some research to find out who makes it. If it is indeed made by FN and it has an FN price tag I would get a Browning. I have bought Browning shotguns and rifles most of my life. The few I have sold I got more than I paid for the gun. No...

    The New Wave of Revolver Tech

    I don't know where you are buying your guns at but I can buy brand new single action 22LR pistols all day long for under $200. You must be like the high rate gun shop. They cannot buy guns for full MSRP. They claim they buy guns from the largest distributor in the US for more than MSRP. My...
