    Digital Trigger Gauge

    https://madmikehughes.com/ He knew how to drive a rokit. Up. Down not so much. On the other hand, I got along great with my fish scale and a coathanger. Slight bending of the coathanger was immaterial as long as the direction of pull was the same. I questioned "taking an average" in one of...

    Does anyone own an Inland ILM170 30 Carbine?

    Does anyone own an Inland ILM170 30 Carbine?

    My response to AmmoJo's PM request for my further comments on the WWII / Korea .30 M1 Carbine: Oh, the .30 M1 Carbine. I rhapsodized about what a fun gun it is, with just enough recoil to let you know something substantial is happening, but not too much for youngsters and ladies to dislike...

    Digital Trigger Gauge

    That's 185 170 grain bullets, 137 230 grain bullets. Huh. On the other hand, you could count out 31,500 barley seeds to make the 4.5 lbs. Terry, 230RN

    Does anyone own an Inland ILM170 30 Carbine?

    My post here was deleted because I was answering in terms of the Inland .30 M1 Carbine, Yet the "Similar Threads" going along with the post also referred to the .30 M1 Carbine, so be aware of the easy mistake to make. Sorry 'bout that. Terry, 230RN

    Digital Trigger Gauge

    Ditto on the fish scale and a properly-bent coat hanger. One thing I've always wanted to see in gun reviews is a graph of force versus trigger movement distance, admittedly because of a personal problem with long-ago damage to my trigger finger. I have trouble with the "92" double action...

    Gun Security App

    If I get your drift, that's why I said "I sympathize a little..." I can see another objection in that if they can know where your phone is, they know where your gun is, but that goes away if your gun is out of range because you forgot it, in which case you adrenalize your search (and I guess...

    Gun Security App

    Did i read the OP wrong? I read it as an arrangement that kept the two (phone and gun) within "handshaking distance" of each other. If your phone lost the gun's tiny signal the phone would alert you with the fact that the gun was out of range and to check it out. "Oh crap, I must've left in...

    Finally in the club!

    Mid 1960s or early 70s a buddy of mine and I used to shoot at an old garbage dump north of Boulder Colorado. Garbage was still burning underground, smoke came up in some spots. It finally became the official Boulder R&P range with the appropriate improvements. What with moving to the Golden...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    If that was in the daytime, wouldn't that be carrying at your 1500? Terry 230RN gazinta hiding.

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    Besides their lack of reading ability, politicians also have no built-in memories. Both of these qualities have been destroyed by the fact that most of them have gone through law school. I have often wisecracked, but halfway seriously, that having a law degree or anything like it should...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    ^,^ "This is why we need legalized open carry in Florida because there no definition of what "briefly" is. It was literally a wardrobe malfunction due to the wind whipping my untucked shirt as I was legally carrying and legally driving my motorcycle on a legal street and not violating any...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    Sounds rather like hyperbole, an exaggeration for the sake of illustration. Been guilty of doing that myself now and again... but only at parties. What really distresses me is that the whole issue has been an issue. In Terry's ideal world, where just about everybody could be / was armed, the...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    <anger> <intemperate response> Some of you guys need to learn how to read. I say again, redundantly, over and over, again and again, repetitively, just in case you didn't read it: the guns were empty, cylinder open, slide locked back. cylinder open, slide locked back This. Read it aloud so...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    Most of your post seems to be agreeing with me except for location. I did mention revolvers had the cylinder open, autos the slide locked back, thereby 99,9999% of an officer's concern would be obviated. It's saying "I got a gun, see, it's unloaded right there on the dashboard, I am concerned...

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    "Before even greeting the officer, tell him or her you have a legal firearm and ask what the officer wants you to do. Of course this begs the question, 'what is the gun doing on the dash?' " Before I learned to drive, as opposed to merely operate a vehicle, I'd get stopped maybe once a...

    How Much Land to Shoot On?

    Chuck R. said (Post #6): "I have 80 acres in a 1/4 wide, 1/2 mile long layout. My rifle range goes out to 760yds, basically because I own a small valley and shoot from a hill into a hill..." You want to adopt me? I'm clean, neat, quiet, can wash dishes, feed livestock, can do rudimentary...
