I went to Cabela's today... the store in Glendale, AZ. I went to get some titegroup for my reloading bench, but I saw a Marlin 795 sitting in the rack and I've been wanting a new one for awhile to replace my aging, long in the tooth and abused Marlin autoloader. I had cash in my pocket, I was...

Nah, there's just a developed bias. I'm 30 years old... hardly an old timer. Started with a plasticfantastic, ended up having two of them, but find them woefully inadequate WRT grip angle, grip feel/texture, recoil absorbtion, trigger squeeze and trigger reset. I also aesthetically dislike...

My 91/30 will hit a pumpkin 10 shots out of 10 at 300 yards, prone, at a pace of a shot every 10 seconds or so. It was $69 at Big 5 Sporting Goods. This is with Hungarian heavy ball surplus.

More for rifles than for pistols. I look at it in terms of: If I need to shoot 200 rounds and have the time to swap magazines, I'd rather do it with a rifle than a handgun. If all I've got is a handgun, then I probably didn't have the foresight to carry 10 magazines with me since I didn't...

I have seen re-manufactured Thompson M1 receivers in a class III dealer show room. I don't know to what degree they were remanufactured, but the dealer told me that they required extensive rebuilding/welding/etc to make into functional receivers again. When a receiver is worth $25K, you'll...

If you're a man and you're shooting a: 1. Pink AR 2. AK with Kalishnakitty stickers on it And your daughter or niece isn't around, that's a man card revocation.:p If you're a man and your wife/girlfriend is shooting a bigger caliber than you... more accurately... that's a man card...

This was a failure of situational awareness, not a failure to have a gun. Crossing the street or taking a detour a block over to get away from these guys would have stopped the situation. I'm not likely to confront a robber who already has the drop on me with a gun, unless I'm walking with...

Dang it, now I have cheet-o crumbs in my keyboard!

Not gonna happen. The state makes between $25 and $100 just on sales tax for each gun purchase, depending on the retail price. One idea though... get a friend with an identical gun and start trading guns. Keep filling out DROS forms for each other's pistols, and trade your guns back and...

One small change suggested, but otherwise very good.

Incorrect. Sierra's matchking bullet is a hollowpoint rifle projectile used by the military for squad designated marksmen and sniper ammunition. The extended bullet length caused by the hollow tip gives greater ballistic coefficient and less drag in the air. This means greater efficacy at...

Xavier made my point for me: I go with the .38 revolver for the ability to have the weapon stay in battery in close quarters/bad breath situations.

Interesting... I'm picking up one of these today. Are 642's usually polygonally rifled? I don't think I've heard of a revolver with polygonal rifling since lots of wheelgun shooters tend to use lead bullets.

I don't think the .40 will be truly loved by anyone until we get some kids who grow up shooting grand-dad's old police issue Glock 22 or similar stories. There isn't really a "classic" .40 handgun like there is for the 9mm and .45acp. 1911, BHP, Luger, Colt 1917, Glock 17, Beretta 92...

He's backing down hard right now and instructing his aides and pet Aldermen to craft new firearms rules for one reason: 2 SCOTUS rulings pertaining to protection of firearms ownership within a decade indicates a civil rights problem that must be federally addressed as a major issue. It...

I've heard that prosecutors typically interpret slashing wounds as defensive knife use, and stabbing wounds as offensive knife use. They're supposedly more likely to attempt prosecution if you stab an attacker than if you slash him to drive him off. Don't know how true that is though.

Most rabid anti-gun Dems are smart enough to know that litigation is the real loss. One they can't control the repeal of. Pelosi would much rather allow a wiping of the gun control slate in DC (to be slowly filled back up over the next 5 years), than having another Heller-style defeat shoved...

Again, this is the NRA doing the wrong thing. Congress (and thereby legislation) is the wrong tactic here. The correct tactic is the Courts. Court cases build precedent, which becomes increasingly difficult to overturn the higher in the judicial system the decision is made. A writ of...

M14 and 11 magazines, 1 in the rifle, 2 on my person, and 8 on two magazine bandoliers. Sig GSR 1911 on my hip with 6 pistol mags. Sling a canteen over my shoulder and a small backpack with some quick food and simple tools like binoculars, trench tool and multitool and I'm off.

Any user reports on the new run of AMT Backups made by High Standard? I've got a bunch of .400 corbon ammo lying around without a gun ever since I got rid of my Glock 21 and its conversion barrel (didn't like the Glockiness of it). High Standard has a factory offering of a .400 corbon...
