    El Chapo Had A Fast and Furious Barrett .50 Cal

    Anyone remember that back in 2011 or so there was a Sinaloa Cartel guy who had been arrested, and claimed that F&F was part of a deal in which the cartel got guns and immunity in exchange for information about rivals? It seemed pretty dubious at the time, but there were other instances of these...

    Where does the "90 per cent support expanded background checks" number come fro

    These types of polls usually do start off with reasonably random samples, but they also usually only go for 2-3 days, which means they only interview the people who are easy to reach and the response rate is in the single digits. But I think the disconnect between poll questions and legislation...

    Sig-Sauer P6, why replace springs

    Two compelling, concise, and opposing replies. Thank you. I'll get the springs, but won't worry a whole lot about it in the meantime. How much do I like it? The gun it will replace is a 3" S&W 65.

    Sig-Sauer P6, why replace springs

    So I just got a P6. It shoots just fine. People complain about the DA trigger, but mine was nice and smooth and didn't seem all that heavy. Haven't tried hollowpoints yet. Given that I am comfortable with the trigger and the functioning of the gun the way it is, is there some other reason...

    Trouble(d) at the range

    At the range I go to most often, it isn't the most social scene in the world. That's ok with me. But a while back I remember there was a kind of obnoxious know-it-all loud mouthed talker in the next lane. I wouldn't go so far as to say "mall ninja" but he sounded half way there. The .44...

    Rifle sights on 18 inch 870 barrel

    I just dug my barrel out of the closet.. The rear sight can only be adjusted vertically. For horizontal adjustment you have to drift the front sight. I think my earlier comment was not entirely fair, as I had not noticed that there is a small allen screw to loosen or tighten the front sight...

    Rifle sights on 18 inch 870 barrel

    I got one of those. Havlin Sales deserves their reputation, but unfortunately I didn't have great results using the 18" barrel with slugs. I had to move the front sight pretty far over, but it still wasn't enough, and then it got loose, so I haven't used it for a while. On the other hand the...

    "Self defense is a Myth"

    I work at a university that one might expect would have a stereotypically head-in-the-sand approach to preparing for a violent incident. I was therefore pleased to see in a recent edition of the student paper: ---- University Police Chief Kirk Gaston and SF State’s emergency preparedness...

    What is your education level?

    From the 2006 Amercan Community Survey: 10% of the population age 25 or older has completed a graduate or professional degree. 27% have completed a bachelor's degree or higher. 84% have a high school degree or higher. THR members are in general a highly educated group of people. Or maybe...

    Well, it sure seems like you need a PhD to figure out CA gun laws!

    Burglars Have Rights Too-More Madness In Uk

    Aside from the age of the article (more like 3 years) many of those posting responses seem not to understand what is going on in this story. This shows that there is widespread dissatisfaction with laws and policies limiting self defense in the home, not that everybody there is a sheep...

    An extremely reckeless situational awareness exercise

    I agree with Siglite's assessment. Being ready to hear the full range of comments doesn't mean you have to agree with all of them. I hope you will stick around and participate in some of the other discussions here on the High Road. My condolences on the loss of your friend.

    An extremely reckeless situational awareness exercise

    It's great that you are interested in getting constructive criticism. Perhaps you should print out this thread for your friend to read. Are the girlfriends in question prepared to sacrifice your best friend for "Moron"'s sake? This is not about being furious or living up to the standards...

    An extremely reckeless situational awareness exercise

    I had a neighbor once with a similar problem. He ended up dead, at the hands of his best friend. My 2 cents: Thanks for sharing this frightening story. I agree with your last recommendation. Avoiding "Moron" is only part of what you need to do. If "Bestfriend" is also "Moron"'s friend...

    Sights on Lever Rifles ?

    Right again, Shawnee... We had a great time yesterday afternoon at the indoor range. After getting the scope zeroed, very nice results at 25 yards. I wasn't going over my targets with a ruler or anything, but was able to hit a 1 inch shoot-n-c target pretty reliably at 20 yards (too dark to...

    Shawnee, the Ultradot arrived yesterday (wow that was fast). I certainly agree about the balance, and yes I like that very much!
