    Do you change your SD ammo during winter months?

    "....you should ALWAYS know what's beyond your target..." This is unrealistic and nearly impossible to "always" do, or even have any reasonable hope of doing, for the average citizen in a adrenalin-charged, once-in-a-lifetime self defense shooting. We hear, as nauseum, how dangerous it...

    What do you guys think about this Ziess Scope?

    As has been stated already, when looking at "budget" optics, you will typically get "more" scope for the money, by going with a slightly lower power and smaller objective, like 3-9x40. The criteria shouldn't just be "better than what you got", the point (presumably) of asking a forum full of...

    Who Reads Owner's Manuals?

    Anyone stupid enough to carry a decocker-equipped gun, fully cocked, deserves to shoot themsleves in the leg. :scrutiny: What else could they possibly have imagined it was there for?? :banghead: But to answer the question, no, I got tired of dredging through manuals years ago. If there's any...

    New Wiley Clapp GP100

    I was already a big GP100 fan, and these Wiley Clapps look even cooler, so I recently floated a trade offer to a guy I know that was looking to let one go (a repeat Armslist acquaintance). But after looking into the details, it seemed that the "improvements" were largely superficial. As best I...

    What wood was used in 70's Ruger Single Six grips?

    I've been trying to find out exactly what wood was used in the grips of an early 70's Single Six New Model .22 ? It looks like walnut, but I can't be sure, and didn't want to post that in an ad if it wasn't accurate. The internet's been no help at all. Any info is much appreciated.....

    What do you guys think about this Ziess Scope?

    Zeiss makes quality stuff, no argument, but 50mm objectives just plain suck. They were all the rage for a while there, and yeah, they look real cool, but the negatives outweigh any perceived positives. They're bulky,heavy, require high rings, which can mess with your cheek weld. And, while I...

    Probably not politically correct, but is it good?

    That seems to be a favorite response of yours, "do a search". :rolleyes: By asking the membership of a large internet forum, he is, in essence, doing a search.

    Anyone ever win a gun?

    When I was about 13, back in the mid-late '70s' there was a shooting contest held in our local mall that we lived within walking distance from and hung out at alot (this was obviously before the advent of the negative term "mall shooting" :D ) I got a phone call a couple weeks later saying I'd...

    Who are your favorite Youtube gun reviewers?

    I find Sootch00 to be more substantive than most. Nutnfancy is generally solid, but his infatuation with taking 40 minutes to impart 10 minutes of info, has gotten to be too much to swallow. Hickock45 is admitedly a knowledgeable,cool guy, and an amazing shot, but he gets judged on these...

    How long can a snubnose be?

    Agreed, good point. Yup, agreed. Again,well stated. But this makes a good point,too.

    Ruger AR-556 vs S&W Sport 2

    Apologies for what's probably a dopey question, but what is a shrouded/unshrouded bolt carrier? I'm no stranger to AR's, but the terms are unfamiliar to me.

    You're new at CCW and walk into a store robbery

    In the unlikely event that I ever even have to pull my carry piece, I'd still be doing my best to back away from the threat, and avoid firing at all. I mean I REALLY do not want to shoot anyone, partially because I don't want to deal with the legal mess, and partially........because I just don't...

    My First Time Being Uncomfortable Being Around Someone Carrying a Gun

    Yup, I just noticed that you aluded to the same thing i did, in the post just previous to mine. I only read a few posts on the first page before posting, so I missed it.

    My First Time Being Uncomfortable Being Around Someone Carrying a Gun

    Same here. While this admitedly isn't a real big deal, and I wouldn't have run screaming for the exits while dialing 911, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to take a step to one side,either. ;) Also, while that guy's pistol was pointing directly at you, had something...

    Student suspended Over 'Anti-Gun Control' Class Project

    The 'crazy' just keeps coming, and I'm convinced we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. :uhoh: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/01/report-nj-high-school-suspends-student-over-anti-gun-control-class-project.html "A New Jersey high school student was suspended and ordered to undergo a...

    9mm gel test: Fiocchi 92 gr Expansion Monoblock

    A 92gr bullet ''retained'' 93.8 grains? I'm thinking that it must have originally weighted more than 92grs, or it picked up something in the test, but obviously it can't ''retain'' more than it started as. Or am I missing something here?

    Monarch .45 ACP Steel: Purchase only if you like failure drills

    By odd coincidence, I shot up a box of Monarch 45acp just this morning. I got it as part of a trade deal with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago, and finally got around to shooting it up. I shot it through a US-made Springfield Stainless Mil-Spec 1911A1 (with very tight frame-to-slide fitting)...

    I need shooters help! Which gun to buy? All steel vs. polymer.

    I concur with the statements already made about sticking with all-steel if it's a range toy (as you said was your intention), but going with polymer if it'll be frequently carried. But keep in mind, your intentions may change. You can always successfully use a polymer pistol as a range gun, but...

    USPS .......shipping

    I'm always baffled (going back decades) when I hear these complaints about the USPS. I've been saying for years the the US Postal Service was by far my #1 favorite federal agency !:D I have never had them lose a package or letter, and I don't think I personally know anyone that has. My mother...
