    Citi

    Time to start patronizing the small or family owned gun shop. Hopefully the deconstruction of Dodd-Frank banking laws recently will open the doors for local and regional banks to start lending and sponsoring small businesses again! Then we can all send the middle finger salute to the big chain...

    Did you hit a point where aquiring new guns wasn't that much of a priority anymore?

    I've reached that stage now - have a LOT of guns, both handguns and long guns - now, I do some reloading, fine tune the rifles and to a degree some of my handguns for competition (USPSA) as well as adding new optics, testing reloads and keeping all of them in good shape. I figure, if a big "blow...

    Plastic can ammo storage

    I never completely fill a can with ammo anyway - unless it's .22 LR due to weight . Nobody is very mobile 3-500 rounds of 5.56mm or .308 win rounds in one or either hand. Now, if you are going to cache it somewhere remote - fine. But it's like having the bigger plastic or steel cases that fit...

    Gun club background checks?

    This is why I don't join clubs in NC...most of them are Hunt Clubs, so restrictive it's laughable. I hunt elsewhere (deer) or go to public lands for Turkey, Small Game, Predator Hunting. Gun clubs are a joke too. Most are made up of wannabes trying to one-up each other on their"intimate"...

    Qualified an injured retiree today

    Excellent advice to ANYONE and EVERYONE who carries a firearm! I retired years ago from US Army SF..as a team commander and prior to that, a Senior NCO on my detachments, I was always insisting that my SFODA teammates practice and shoot with their off hand, whether on a stationary range or in...

    A proper LGS

    Academy Sports in Greensboro, NC...at any given time, several boxes of 300 (plastic bricks of 100ea)- CCI Stingers...CCI has finally ramped up production after a very long lull...

    Is applying for Tax Stamp (Suppressor purchase) getting easier?

    Damn...sorry to hear the trouble you are having - that sucks.I'm really hesitant to even start the whole process.

    Is applying for Tax Stamp (Suppressor purchase) getting easier?

    I have heard rumors going around that since the introduction of the "Hearing Protection Act" bill in Congress, the response from ATF&E is to speed up the process of approving the Tax Stamp needed to have in order to purchase a Suppressor/Silencer etc..Any truth to that rumor OR is the process...

    Would Nationwide reciprocity add a database

    Not in NC. For a court order, it has to be linked directly to a valid Law Enforcement criminal investigation. They passed that in response to those vicious rubes (Newspaper jerks) who published names etc..in NY and Conn. after the Sandy Hook shootings. NC decided in 2013 that they needed to do...

    Can ya'll provide me thoughts on 6.5 Grendel Caliber - tactical and practical?

    I take it that you and Bill Alexander had a falling out of some kind. Alrighty then.

    Can ya'll provide me thoughts on 6.5 Grendel Caliber - tactical and practical?

    Absolutely excellent writeup. Answered a LOT of questions I had, to include Reloading, barrel length and performance. I'm looking hard at a Bear Creek Arms complete rifle with 20" - price is hovering around $650..then go from there. Thank you very much and I look forward to sending some of my...

    Can ya'll provide me thoughts on 6.5 Grendel Caliber - tactical and practical?

    That's true in some respect - however, I am never one to completely trust any one publication/chart/ data sheet - take a look at all the different periodicals and tell me which one has the definitive answer to the best overall Handgun Caliber for self defense! I've been reading all the "experts"...

    Can ya'll provide me thoughts on 6.5 Grendel Caliber - tactical and practical?

    Nice looking rifles...that HB option with the detachable Mag looks like a nice rifle to toss in the truck, take a few dozen rounds and go out for either Antelope, Coyote, Prairie Dogs, Jacks etc. An all in one if you are out there trying to take down goats in areas like Wyoming. I understand...

    Rossi 44 mag just arrived. Never again.

    Yeah, those drunk rascals probably got the wood from some busted pallets laying out back by the burn barrels...

    Can ya'll provide me thoughts on 6.5 Grendel Caliber - tactical and practical?

    Ok fellers (and maybe ladies, not sure), I need some insight into the 6.5mm Grendel compared to both .223 Win and .308 Win....as shot from a 24" heavy barrel (both bolt action and AR style)..Thinking in both practical and tactical terms as far as cost, effective range, availability of ammo...

    Do you really think there is that much advantage to carrying a full sized pistol?

    Where do you carry? Rural area? Small town? Suburb? Or in a larger, more crowded metropolitan area? Something I want to point out is that if you go to a range - outdoor - and take 2-3 different size handguns with you - compare the accuracy of each versus the other. Start at 3 yards, go to 5...

    awkward ccw places

    Another piece of advice (living in a SE State with long, hot summers) - I have found that wearing a "busy" summer shirt is more effective. One that has a design versus a solid color definitely causes the human eye to miss a "print" much more often. When I teach my CCH class during warm weather...

    An elegant weapon for a more civilized age...

    Maybe a mint condition Browning Hi Power - with the right grips, an "always classic".

    The S&W Bodyguard is junk

    I've found that it is usually the result of poor quality steel/alloys etc..The things get worn in no time. Kimber has been experiencing that the past several years with some of their compact 9mm and .380s. When those manufacturer's start to use poor quality materials, even if they have a...

    Anyone else Load/Re-Load .45 Auto for a Revolver?

    Wow..I have noticed the same thing with my seating of RNF HM bullets as well as the HM Hollow points. I don't always go up to 1.275" OAL but at 1.255" OAL works really well in my 625. I think you may be onto something with the moon clips being loose on the casings. I have about 200 moonclips but...
