    Colt Government .380 "upgrades"

    In January I bought a nice stainless example of the Colt Gov't .380 for my wife. I like it enough I'm considering getting one for me too. I've seen some "upgrades" for sale here and there, and would like to hear from other Colt .380 owners -- any problems with the plastic guide rod and...

    Change within the system

    Starting a new thread to avoid hijiacking Defendant is accused of having 'militia' weaponry. First off, because I know I will once again be deemed to be attacking individuals, I want to say that is not my intention. My rant? Numerous threads here end up with someone taking the "well...

    Suggest a foundation for a custom bolt-action?

    I saw a post on another board I frequent with a very interesting .308 bolt action built from a beat-up old Vz24. Yeah, I just came from kunfuhippie's "don't bubba the milsurps" thread, and I'm not looking to cut up anything rare or nice. The question is, if one had many choices, what would...

    Engravings/Stampings -- Highlighting and repair?

    Wow, I've got a lot of gun projects going on. Engravings/stampings: 1) Can a talented engraver "repair" stampings? I've got some parts with enough wear that the original stampings are fading. 2) Best method and material of highlighting engravings/stampings? Such as filling in safety...

    My wife is a teacher...

    ...and considering her work and the amount of time she spends at our temple, well she recently told me that it seemed pointless for her to get her carry permit. Any other teachers here? How do you deal with "things"?

    Any American citizens of hispanic/latino background here?

    If so, does the more violent rhetoric of some anti-immigrant folks give you cause for concern? I would be interested in how the current political "crisis" surrounding border issues is affecting your life. Have you altered your lifestyle? Chosen perhaps to obtain a concealed carry permit...

    The four rules

    1) respect 2) control 3) awareness 4) discipline I've been working on a first grader level version of the rules for my son. Made me think of condensing them to the basic essence. (Yeah, I know, different folks will put them in different order)

    "and you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand..."

    Was a picture of my wife shooting a CZ75 that also showed her tattoo that quotes a biblical passage. Thought it might be slightly more philosophical than Oleg's "bear and grinning idiot with machine gun" picture, but obviously the road ain't so high anymore. Sorry I came back.

    Not so great pics of not so great Webley

    First off thanks to those who answered my Webley questions regarding the MkI (I believe) that I've got that belonged to my grandfather. It was bored out for .45ACP and had a cylinder failure. It's a wonder my grandpa got out of it with little more than a couple of scratches. The "blow up"...

    Best way to dispose of bad ammunition?

    I've got some old .22LR that has a high failure rate, say 10% or so. What's the best way to dispose of all these misfires?

    Another Webley question

    I am not a wheel gun person at all (despite my last name!), I think I've fired a total of two revolvers in my life, and one of those was a cap and ball gun. But I've got one -- an early Webley, with the "rounded" (what did they call that, bird's head?) grip. It's blown up. My grandfather's...
