    Army General bans OFF BASE concealed carry in Alaska

    A jury found them not guilty of murder as they believed the "self defense" arguments the defense lawyer used. My opinion is that this was a murder.

    Army General bans OFF BASE concealed carry in Alaska

    I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. When this order was issued, it hit the local news outlets. The claim made on the news was that the order was issued due to a couple of incidents involving off duty soldiers with weapons off post. In one instance, three soldiers murdered a local rap musician...

    need help on what 9mm to get

    I'd definitely look at a Beretta -- either a 92 series or the new PX4. I love my 92 series -- it shoots anything I put in the magazine and fits my hands great (however, if you have small hands it may not fit as well). I hear good things about the PX4 from people who have shot them, and, it has...

    Need help w/ loads for Ranier Plated Bullets

    I scored an awesome deal on 2000 147 grain 9mm bullets a few weeks ago. When I contacted them via email for load data -- as the box labeling was a little confusing as to whether they were plated or jacketed (they state "Total Copper Jacketed") it did take them a long time to get back to me. I...

    That Garand has a beautiful stock. Much nicer than my plain brown stock.

    Winchester Reloading Supply Shortage?

    I don't know what the deal is, but one thing I do know is that the Winchester branded powders should be around for a while. Hodgdon licensed the Winchester name and is now supplying the powders. I just checked their website -- where I ran across this a couple of weeks ago -- and the link that...

    Ears??? What do you use at the Range

    I have enough hearing loss from band in school back in the days when teachers and administrators weren't concerned about hearing loss potential that I always wear both muffs and plugs. As a result, I tend to not shoot at the outdoor range when others are around as I can't hear them when they...

    Beretta M9/92FS

    I hang out on the Beretta forum, and remember reading something recently about the SEAL issue. What I remember from the Beretta forum is that story is that the SEAL in question was testing some very hot handloads. I'd suggest going over there and doing a search. I won't post the URL here as...

    Anyone familiar w/Sportsman's Warehouse?

    We have had a Sportsman's warehouse for about 6 months now. In my opinion, it's been a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it's brought variety in that we were sorely lacking as a town at the northern end of the supply chain. I believe it caused one local sporting goods store to expand. Their...

    Beretta 92 FS Quirks?

    The only "quirk" I have with mine is that it hates a specific brand of aftermarket 15 round magazines. I got a couple of pre-ban aftermarket magazines to get back to the design capacity. Big mistake. I think they are USA Magazines brand. I replaced the magazine springs with some Wolff ones...

    Teaching Someone to Shoot a Handgun

    Hi, In about a month I'll be heading to the lower 48. While down there, my mother-in-law has requested I teach her how to shoot as she wants to purchase a handgun for self-defense. My first thought was to find an NRA instructor, but there is not one in her area. So, it looks like I'm the...

    Sportman's Warehouse

    Sportsman's Warehouse has it's pros and cons, just like any store. I like that they have a wider variety of products at reasonable prices and their staff here couldn't be friendlier. However, I don't like that they hurt the local retailers who've been here for years and their product...

    Accurate Number 5 Supply Issues

    After hearing it wasn't a local issue, I went to the source and contacted Accurate from their web page. I heard back from them that they had some logistical problems with their ocean freight and they expect it back in stock in three weeks or so. So depending on how long the last of my 8 lbs...

    What happened to Ranier's website?

    Last night, I ran across some loads for Rainier bullets using Accurate powers in the Google cache. I was able to find them again today by doing the following: 1. Execute a search for "rainier accurate loads" on Google. 2. At this point, the third result listed is titled "Accurate Arms"...

    Accurate Number 5 Supply Issues

    I've been lurking for a while, and, have a couple question for y'all. My shooting season has finally started now that the snow is melting and the temperatures are comfortable enough to shoot without gloves. I have a stock of reloads from last season that will keep me going for a bit, but, as I...
