I've recently replaced the Inova T2 and Surefire 9AN on my duty belt with a Blackhawk Gladius since the Gladius serves the functions that took 2 lights before (brightness AND longevity). Anyway, they're both still great lights and I would like to mount the 9AN on an AR15. It's not designed as a...

I've previously posted a couple of threads about the praticality of using a high-end AK (Krebs KTR-03S) as a law-enforcement patrol carbine. Returns were favorable, moreso for one chambered in 5.45X39. The original thought for a patrol rifle other than an AR was based on the fact that though I...

Let me precede my questions about pistol mounted lights with the caveat that I believe that having a pistol mounted light is not a way to meet all of your lighting needs. A quality, dependable, bright hand flashlight is still beneficial to the executions of one's duties in a dark area. I've read...

Does anyone makes a high-expansion/low-penetration (for a rifle round) catridge for either of these calibers, something along the lines of Hornady's TAP line? I'd REALLY like the Krebs KTR-03S for a patrol rifle, but am a little put off by the fact that there don't seem to be a whole lot of...

I just placed a call to Natchez Shooter's Supply and learned that they do not ship to GA, AL, or TN. Since I live in GA, I can not benefit from their prices. I know about and have experienced the malfunction that is Botach Tactical before, and Midway USA's prices seem high to me. The...

As the title suggests, I'm looking to generate discussion on whether it was the AR-15 platform that serves a specific need of law enforcement, or if the 5.56/.223 round is for some reason particularly suited to the police mission. The AR is undeniably the most popular choice for law enforcement...

Having turned up zilch elsewhere on the web, I'm turning to the collective mind here to find new rifle sights for my FN Police Shotgun. It came with a plain grey bead up front and some kind of staghorn on the rear. That grey front and little notch on the back don't really seem to be a good...

Last time I was at the range I was shooting my SKS next to a guy that was shooting his 20"bbl AR. I was shooting jacketed 123grn 7.62X39, he was shooting 62grn M855 surplus 5.56X45. We were both shooting at a line of steel plates about a foot square and about 2 inches thick sitting on a railroad...

To hear some tell it around here, corrosive ammo will rot the bore of your rifle before you have time to get home and clean it. As far as feeding my SKS goes, there are some pretty good deals out thtere on ammo that is corrosive. Is it really as evil as people would have you believe, or is it...

My wife has finally decided to get her CCW because some strange things have started happening to other attorneys in her office, and some strange cars have been seen more than once in an evening at her office. She's expressed a preference for auto-chuckers in the past, so we'll stick with that...

As regards a round as small as a .380, is the general cooncensus that a FMJ is needed for more reliable penetration, or a JHP for a greater wound cavity? In my thinking, a round this small won't benefit a whole lot from a JHP and since it doesn't have a whole lot of weight to carry though the...

Given a fixed caliber - in this case, .40 S&W - is it better to use a lighter bullet in a short barrel or a heavier bullet in a short barrel? What about the same question for longer barrels? In other words, will a lighter bullet work better in a short barrel since it will accellerate more...

Rep.Mobley in Georgia has proposed HB 1380 as an evident replacement for the AWB. I composed and sent the following letter to my state representatives: It aggravates me greatly that we might finally be rid of the onerous Federal AWB only to have it replaced by a CA style state one...

After a few months of haggling with my wife for budgeting, Aimsurplus doesn't seem to carry the $140 Yugo SKS's anymore. Go figure... :fire: Regardless, I'm still hellbent on getting an SKS, so what are some other reputable sources for Yugo SKS's? I've found a few on the auction sites, but...

I've got a yen for a 1911 and a 10mm, so I thought I'd combine the two and just get a 1911-pattern 10mm. So if I've got the yen for a 10mm 1911 pattern weapon, should I start looking at the Delta Elites, or skip over to Brownells and buy the parts and have it assembled? Looking at the Delta...

I had an interesting experience with a friend a couple of days ago. She lives in NY city, and had come down to my house in South Georgia with my best friend for a couple of days before the New Year. She is anti, and my best friend owns a couple of handguns (encouraged by me a few years ago)...

I'm finally buying my first shotgun, and since I've not spent near as much time with shotguns as I have with rifles or handguns, I'd like to find some plastic training ammo to practice loading/unloading, cycling etc. When I first brought handguns into my house, I got some bright orange...

In perusing a variety of sources both digital and print, the general concensus seems to be that the Benchmade AFCK is where it's at as far as folding fighting knives are concerned. I figured I'd consult the hive-mind here to try to get some personal anecdotes... It's going to be a...

The police department I'm applying to has a chief that's progressive enough to allow officers to buy their own shotgun if they don't want to carry the department's stock 870. Having more faith in a gun that is ste-up and comfortable for me, and having experience with armory issue weapons in...

Didn't see it anywhere here yet, so here goes. From the horses mouth. Michael Moore's website now has a rebuttle, written by Moore, to the accusations leveled against his mockumentary 'Bowling for Columbine'. The fact that he refers to criticism of his film as a 'wacko attacko' should...
