If you're willing to travel a couple of hours into the scenic Colorado mountains, you should check out the Friends of the NRA range in Salida. Very nice and generally well cared for rifle range with backstops for paper targets at 100, 200 and 300 yards plus a wide variety of steel targets...

I had to laugh at the "cat" observation! Once upon a time I lived with an Akita and two cats. When they were all inside the house they got along perfectly and frequently slept together in a big pile on the couch. Outside was a different story entirely ... the Akita would chase them around...

I've standardized on high capacity .40 semiautos and regular capacity .357 revolvers and have a number of them nearby at all times. However, after much experimentation and wasted money, I've yet to find the setup that allows me to carry any of them comfortably and/or reliably hidden, so they...

sm observed (among other things): "Maybe she and hubby use the guns for CCW, keeps mags straight. Umm maybe same platform, different calibers...be nice to grab a spare mag in 9mm with a teal green mag extension instead of hubby's .40 cal..." My wife has an HK P2000 in .40 cal, while I...

This is somewhat on a tangent to the whole Open House issue but, when I was selling my house in an ultra-liberal area of Colorado, the realtor wanted me to get the gun safe out of the house so that prospective buyers wouldn't have their delicate sensibilities offended when they walked in the...

My better half graces my life and computer screen ...

Ethereal European Space Rock. My wife doesn't appreciate it when I listen to KMFDM 'cause it amps me up and makes me want to drive over/through stuff that ought not be driven over/through.

Sorry about the minor thread hijack but can someone elaborate on "a purchase permit for handguns and listed semi-auto "assault weapons" (identified by name, and includes the AR, FAL, etc., but not the M1A or many others). A purchase permit is good for a year, however, and you can buy as many...

yep Lessee, there's Reba, Salma, Persephone v-2.0, Kaylee, Buffy, Willow, Angelina, Aeryn, Eowyn, Shauna of the Dead (my Zombie Gun), Xena and Gabriel. Recently sold Nikita, Arwen, Pandora, Persephone v-1.0, and Shania. That's not counting my wife's, all of which are also named.

I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to not have the wife problem being discussed here. My lovely and talented wife is as dedicated to the shooting sports, particularly long distance precision shooting, as I am. We regularly attend a wide variety training together and she frequently...

Well, I typed up a thorough response to the points you raised but when I went to post it the process failed, saying I wasn't logged in (I was when I started typing). Rather than type it all up again, let's just say that; Yep, I'm driving, the hardware is going to be left behind, it's going...

Yeah, that's the interpretation I was afraid I'd hear. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi All, I know that felons are not allowed to be in possession of firearms but I need to know if this extends to not being in close proximity to firearms that are in the possession of someone else? In particular, I need to know if a felon can legally be in a vehicle, which contains a firearm...

My wife absolutely loves her .308 LTR and is deadly accurate with it out past 700 yards (the longest distance, thus far, that she's been able to play around at). We recently attended/assisted with a LEO precision shooting course and the top two shooters in the class were wielding LTRs. The...

Here's a picture of my wife performing the "create a hide and successfully make your shot from it" exercise during a LEO training class last fall. Honest, she's really in this pic and, yes, she made the approx 360 yd shot while concealed.

Just FYI, regarding availability, I'm looking at a post on Sturmgewehr that reads: "XCR Robinson Armament .223 New In Case $1299 I have recvd 3 rifles,more are shipping today 17 more coming in next 3-4 weeks(8 of these are presold)....I do have front and rear YHM flip up sights in inventory...

Gary G23 - I found mine at Jensen Arms in Colorado, although it's doubtful they have any at the moment. I don't know how many they got in but I'm fairly certain they were all gone within, literally, a day or two. I have to imagine they have a list going for their next allotment ...

bcm3087 - Yes, that's a Samson FFS front BUIS and I think it's great. I looked at the ARMS rear BUIS in the store before deciding to go with the GG&G. Then I got to use a buddy's ARMS at the range and realized I probably should have gone with the ARMS instead of the GG&G. Live and learn...

Here's a pic of the left side, the right side, the open receiver and a closeup of the open receiver. Since I've had to muck around in the guts of the rifle already, I must agree with PvtPyle that it would be nice if it opened up a few more degrees. I've only had it out to play once so far...

I picked up mine a couple of weeks ago, serial number > 100. I'll try to post some pics a little later.
