    hip flask while hunting

    I ALWAYS carry a flask of Wild Turkey with me when hunting. It's ONLY for "desensitizing" the sniffer when I'm about to field dress or to "motivate" those that are about to help me drag one out of the woods. The only time I'll take a swig with a loaded gun in my hand is on the last day of...

    Maybe looking for a .40

    +1 on the Sig 229. My new P229 Elite is only 3 days old and has had only 50 rounds through it but the gun is pure sex. Grip is a little large (need to swing the thumb over hard to hit the mag release). Recoil is far less than I expected - more like a 9 to me than my 45 and WAY less than my 44...

    Shotgun (I think) for my Boy

    Am thinking of getting my son a gun for Christmas. Lord knows I have enough for myself..... Anyway, I am leaning towards a semi-auto 12 Gauge (Something I do not yet have....). I am looking for some versatility with it too. My first shotty was an 870 express combo w/2 barrels. It still...

    Your record on brass - Brag On...

    My father in law gets new Lapua .220 russian brass every January for fire forming into each of his his 6mm PPC benchrest guns. He throws them all away in December after 1 season. He reloads these same cartridges (specific for each gun) at least 25 times over the span of a year. Did I mention...

    Question about Skeet/Trap/Sporting Clays

    For the love of God and all that is holy. Don't ever go out and shoot a real round of skeet with your self described shooting skills. It will become a full bore addiction. Unyielding.. You WILL find yourself purchasing new "spiffy" over unders, cool shooting vests, shell bags and an endless...

    Benchmark or Varget in my 6mm PPC?

    Ever been to a big benchrest competition? There are 100's of flags all over the place. It looks rediculous. My Father in Law brings 40 to 50 individual flags to big competitions (4 to 6 flags per bench with 5 rotations at 100 and 200 yards). Like I said it's a technology (read money) driven...

    Benchmark or Varget in my 6mm PPC?

    My Father in Law is a competitive benchrest guy. The VAST majority of his colleagues use Vit. N133 and Lapua 220 russian brass fire formed for thier reamers/barrels as others have said. I think he makes 68 Grain HP match bullets (yes - he makes his own bullets... lead core, copper jackets...

    Just got into .223

    Funny to see this post today. Yesterday I reamed and trimmed 600 or so 223 Lake City and other NATO stuff - and my fingers have the blisters to prove it. My fired brass was ALL over the place. Some took 2 turns with the Lee rotary and were fine, others took 20 turns and brass ribbons everywhere...

    reloading for a shotgun?

    I've had a MEC-650 for years. It used to pay to reload - but I'm not sure if it still does. I used to be in skeet leagues and was good for 15 or so rounds of skeet a week. Not sure what the presses and components go for now (I was paying $17 for a pound of red dot and 20 bucks for 25 lbs of 9...

    Lookin' for a T-shirt.

    It's the front of the bolt in an AR-15 (locking lugs and firing pin, etc.). I have one and get a kick out of other people that know what it is (it's pretty rare though...)

    I too am in a "no ship" area of NY - out on Long Island. I got a quote from you on a new Beretta 40 S&W had the $$ ready to go and found out about the no ship to Suffolk County clause you follow. While I do understand that it is YOUR business and you can run it the best way you see fit, it...

    The sound of a slug. . .

    I had one whizz over my head 2 deer seasons ago. And yes they make a NOTICABLE noise. It was indeed the slug. Not a sound I ever want to hear again.

    2 Pit Bull attacks in my area last month...legal and "technical" advice required...

    Had the unpleasant experience of being mauled by 2 rotweillers a few years ago. They went after my 10yr old daughter first. Luckilly, she got away. I was not so fortunate. Unprovoked attack. Never even saw the dogs before. After the initaial attack I jumped a fence and destroyed my shoulder...

    AR-15 KB with HSM ammo

    Wow.. Glad everyone was OK. My new AR shoots BEST with the 55 grain psp's from HSM. I actually had a black hills case spilit in half the first time out with my rifle - so I swore THAT brand off. I'm paying 19.95 a box where I live for that orange box that you have the price tag on for 15.95 in...

    How do you guys convince your spouses to be okay with you getting a handgun?

    Her express approval was required from the Police Dept. PRIOR to me getting my pistol permit approved. While not on my hip, ALL my guns are placed and locked into my nice, new gun safe (Another condition for her approval). I have had rifles and shotguns since before we met (I'm a hunting...

    How "Gun Friendly" is your place of work?

    ouch Ze..well said. I'm in a dont ask dont tell kind of place. Many routinely carry, but only those that know what to look for can tell. It has yet to become a problem - hell as far as I know it's (carrying) NEVER been addressed in any "policy" statement where I work.

    have you had an injury keep you from shooting

    Got attacked by 2 rotweillers and managed to get away before they got me a second time. In my hasty retreaat I jumped over a chain link fence (ala Superman). When I landed I tore my Supra Spinatus (Rotator cuff - full thickness tear). Surgery was a real bugger. Recovery was even...
