Got to fondle the Ruger SR45 tonight at my shop. It was the very first one in the door, straight out the plastic bag. The trigger feels identical to SR40. A bit heavy and crunchy, but I expect it to smooth out with use as with the other SR series guns. Grip size feels a bit like the S&W MP45 or...

I called an friend who was attending today. She said shooter was down, NO fatalities, despite what the news reports are saying. Most of the injured were from broken glass/ secondary projectiles.

Anyone catch that? Hrm, I don't see mayor defined in the initial portion of the bill. Beavers, if you are going to cut and paste, you should at least proof read it after the fact. The truly scary portion of this bill is revealed in the activity log. Thus with a vote they have neatly...

The 540grn is about the largest slug that will work at the OAL the Marlin will handle. Garrett loads these, as the others pointed out, and they are superb. If you want maximum penetration and precisely zero deformation, try the Punch bullets from Belt Mountain. They are turned on a screw...

MassMark, read my earlier post. The .45-70 can trounce the .450 Marlin at the same pressures, and can match it at lower pressures due to its higher case capacity. The factory .450 recoil is mild compared to a Marlin top loads in .45-70. Anything the .460 can do at 65K PSI, the larger rounds at...

Been Done. Handled One. Seen several for sale on the auction sites.

Haunting the revolver boards on various forum, it seems there is a market that exists that just isn't being met by the offerings of todays manufacturers. This market wishes for a revolver that carries like a J-Frame and hits like an N-Frame. Specifically wanted is a 2-3"BBL revolver with usable...

I don't think any boats were missed. Neither Marlin or any of the Winchester clones offer a rifle with both the action length and strength to handle the .500S&W or .460, and the makers are keenly aware of this. Even the .480 was deemed too much for the Marlin action. The 1886 action probably...

I sent them a letter that was similar to Matt C, though in it I proposed the connection of the FSA with the Joyce Foundation,FiftyCaliberTerror.com, gunguys.com, George Soros et al. I used the subject line "My friend sent me this email and I have some???" in an effort to assure someone had at...

I sent a modified version of Jamz email (I thank you) to my Senators, Barack Obama and Dick Durbin. Absolutely without hope, I know, but at least it was something constructive. No response from Durbin, but Obama did respond today, with an interesting take on the issue especially since we know...

If the final rifle actually follows the design of the cutaway they've published, it should be an excellent rifle. There is simply no way to configure an AR with the combination of features offered at a comparable price. (BTW, the reps said the price should be $1600, not $1400.) Gas Piston...

Shaughn is dead on. .223 brass is a few steps away from workable 7.62x25 cases.

People have been having good luck with the CM mags. They made by Checkmate and are available at several places on the net for $19.99-$24.99.I know Checkmate 92FS mags have gotten a bad rep from our troops overseas, but the 92FS mags are likely only part of the problem with 92FS reliability...

Can't sleep, so I thought I'd expound a bit. Many features of the Detonics were ahead of their time, and greatly contributed to the modern compact 1911s. Two features that are usually not recognized and would likely be of value to 1911s of all sizes are: Modified extractor. The extractor...

Love or hate that scooped rear slide, sight radius isn't much of an issue with the Combat Master. My copy, an early blued version, is exceedingly accurate out to 25+yds. The sights are large and very clear, resembling the retro rear sight that Yost offers. Due to the chopped grip, slide cut, and...

The previous ordinance was largely ignored by Cook County residents. Many didn't even know that there was such a ban on assault weapons on the books since 99. I've never heard of any instances of its enforcement, but the ordinance was often bantered about in hushed tones. This ordinance is far...

I can't believe there has been so little public attention paid to this "tweak" of the Cook County Assault weapon bill. Watching what little news coverage of this bill presented gave the impression that only the definitions were changed to prevent gun makers from skirting the law...

In Stock at our shop, $459. BTW They are technically IAC 1887s, not Norincos.

Hemicuda, How do you fit 8 rounds in your Marine Magnum? Seems Remington could only fit 7 in theirs. Inquiring minds would like to know.

Winchester 1887s don't have a loading port in the conventional sense. Like another of Browning's shotguns, loading and ejection are through the same port. To load, first open the action by operating the lever fully forward. Depress the shell lifter to the bottom, exposing the magazine tube...
