Are you close enough to enjoy shooting in the Allegany National Forest? We camp and shoot there often. https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/allegheny/recreation/otheractivities/?recid=6083&actid=106#:~:text=You are not shooting across,lawfully engaged in waterfowl hunting.

Like the OP, I rediscovered my duty gun. In my case it is a 1988 West German P226 that I replaced with a P229SAO after leaving law enforcement. She got new grips, new sights, and a Grey Guns trigger last year and runs better than new. Carry her every once in a while in a Galco Miami Classic holster.

The answer to the 115 vs 124 grain argument is to me no different than the Winchester White Box vs. $2.00/round super duper great gazoo self defense round argument. And my answer is that it just doesn’t matter as much as the ammunition manufacturers want us to believe it does. If I double tap...

I can make a steel gun without polymer. But I can’t make a polymer gun without steel. Put that in your Glock and smoke it!

Nope. I shared the same concern before I bought my A300. In actual use, it has been non-consequential.

Steel.

Maybe they are marketing these to the interior design community. These all look like they could be found hanging on the wall at Cracker Barrel.

I taught weapons retention and take away techniques as part of our firearms program when I was an LEO. My request for additional training time was not well received by leadership at first. But once I showed them video footage of criminals in a prison exercise yard teaching each other how to...

Yep. Have to agree with you on that one. We also like to chase cans with bird shot and blow up water jugs or whatever comes to mind with buck shot. It has given me a great perspective on just exactly what a 12 gauge load of 00 can do.

This is what my son and I did one day the week after Christmas. The rifle is a Remington 572 that I got for Christmas when I was 12 in ‘79. Handgun is a more recently obtained Buckmark. We don’t have much interest in shooting paper, so I got some rimfire steels. We also like to shoot Pringles...

Thanks for sharing. That sounds like a great time. I still train a lot with my defensive firearms, but find myself spending more and more time plinking away with .22’s. It was not uncommon to tear through a full brick every weekend when I was a kid and believe that played a big part in...

Several post state that the writer’s choice works well, works great, is effective, etc. I am curious as to how that is determined. Actual shootings? It always goes bang? Just trying to understand the criteria behind the ratings.

I have a 1911 in 9mm. Love it.

Sorry to hear that. While we are doing well overall, this is one of the battles that must not be abandoned. Which state?

Winchester 115 grain Silver Tips. They are accurate, function well in my firearms, and hit point of aim in my handguns with fixed sights. My testing shows I get good expansion and penetration with my 2.9” P290, 16” Saint Victor, and everything in between. Plus, if anything goes wrong, I can...

I was after an A300 for months. One day, I stopped at the LSG and asked if they had one yet. The guy said his next task was going to be to get the A300 they just received unpacked and out for display. I saved him the work. Sometimes timing and blind luck play in our favor.

Thirty five years ago they passed the assault weapons ban. Gone. We had Ohio senator Howard Metzenbaum roaming the halls of the capitol stating he didn’t care about crime, he just wanted the guns. Gone. Ohio laws banning CCW? Gone. Replaced with constitutional carry. And Ohio is not the only...

I struggled with a similar dilemma for a while and went with the A300. Very happy I did. One serving will meet the USDA recommended daily allowance of 00 buck in most situations. However, if you need more than one shot in really tight quarters, running a semi is much easier than running a pump.

When I was an LEO, my purchases were very utilitarian and I have quite a good selection of defensive firearms. Now purchases are driven by curiosity or the “fun to shoot” factor. Is a Ruger Blackhawk a good CCW choice ? No. I bought it because it is fun to shoot. Will I grab a 20 gauge O/U...

I originally stopped on one of his videos because he was wearing a coat just like the one I wear (mine is from L. L. Bean). Yesterday I was in a long line at a store when the guy across from me said, “Nice Paul Harrell coat.” By the time the line moved we had decided L. L. Bean could sell a...
