I'm not referring to the pregnant woman going to the range; that's been done to death already. Question is, is it generally considered safe for the developing baby if the husband goes to the outdoor range and cleans up hours before coming anywhere near her? There's also the issue of lead...

Suppose one created a pretty light softball .45ACP load. How would the recoil compare to a 9mm like WWB?

I'm considering an OWB leather but have the option of going with either snaps or the standard vertical slots as found on many pancake holsters. Do the holsters with snaps support the gun as well as the holsters with slots? Do they hold the gun in as close to the body?

Can anyone compare the two in terms of accuracy? I don't care about price, fit/finish, or anything else besides accuracy.

Will the 00 buck people switch their choices to .223/5.56 if there have been a rash of home invasions involving multiple armed assailants who might be wearing body armor? I understand that the shotgun, rifle, and handgun all have their places, but if the bad guys are starting to work in teams...

I went shooting yesterday with the AR and ran about 300 rounds of .22LR Golden bullets and then 100 rounds of Wolf 9mm. All the mags were loaded with push down style mag loaders, like those found on handguns. The grip and stock are the standard plastic ones found on any bone stock M4 style AR...

I've seen that it's better to go with a Free Floated handguard (Daniel Defense Omega) over a 2 piece (Midwest Industries), especially if it will host an optic (Eotech), but how big of a difference does it make? Will the two piece make the Eotech lose its zero easily, or would it have to be...

Which make revolver is good for small hands? A Smith K frame is too large and we're hopefully going to try and see a J frame today. Aside from a Ruger SP-101, Are there any other manufacturers that have a particularly small grip and length of pull?

I'm looking to get some opinions on the matter. The usual argument that the handgun is to fight your way to your rifle don't seem to apply here since we're talking about a PCC. Her choice in a handgun is the .38 Special Smith 67. Her choice in a long gun due to weight restrictions is the...

Aside from capacity, what are the differences between the J and K frames? More specifically, is the length of pull of a J frame shorter than that of a K frame?

Like the title says.

What's the general opinion of T/C scope rings? Good or bad?

I got some 10 round 1911 .22LR magazines from Midway and was wondering how long I could expect the magazine springs to last before they need replacement. After maybe 100 rounds through one of them, I already had to pull it and stretch it to get it to feed right. Where is the best place to...

I'm trying to rationalize my purchases and sales right now, like so many others are. For someone: -who does not use an AR as a "Tool" (That's what my 870s are for) -shoots strictly paper generally within 50-100 yards max -lives in an urban environment -does not compete (for now) Under...

For shooting paper targets off a bench less than about 100 yards away (usually at 50 yards or so), is the Buckmaster worth the extra $50 or so over the Prostaff? The scope would likely be sitting on a semi-auto rimfire or possibly a .223.

What kind of ejection pattern are you getting from your 870? My 7 year old Express and old CHP Wingmaster send 'em about 4' at about 2:00 pretty consistently. A new one that I've got would spit them out somewhat randomly between 1' and 5' away at anywhere from 1:00 and 3:00. I've already...

I took out the 870 stable today to try and diagnose/clear up the issues with the ejection as mentioned on this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=403099 In exchanging various parts, I've found that an old Wingmaster forend tube will produce double feeds, while a C&R...

Is it safe to say that in general, heavier bullets are better for longer barrels, and lighter bullets are better for shorter barrels in order to get proper expansion of the hollow point round? Would a 147 grain bullet be the optimal weight for a 9mm carbine?

Suppose one is following the 4 rules, etc. and is CCWing in a good holster covering the trigger completely, as it ought to. What would have to happen for the holstered gun to accidentally discharge? What parts would have to wear/fail?
