    Century C-15 Sporter

    As part of the post-election gun rush, I decided to go shopping for an AR. Never really felt the need for one before - I'm more of a mil-surplus & hunting arms sort of gun buyer - but the idea that something may not be available in the future does funny things to a person. Anyway, I found...

    Hunting Mentors

    Novice hunter in Eastern Missouri I live in the St. Louis metro area and although I learned to shoot when I was young (now 37 y.o.) I've only taken up hunting in the past few years. Dad wasn't a hunter, so I'm learning on my own. I've been out for doves and have spent some time in the turkey...

    Counter to Brady's Planned August 28th Protest

    Ironically, August 28th is "buy a handgun day" in Missouri - the day that our "permit to acquire" law is officially repealed and we no longer have to go to the county sheriff for permission to buy a concealable firearm. I'd love to see the Bradys protesting in front of a gun store here and...

    YOUR biggest range goof

    Last night. Took 4 friends to the range (a very well-regulated state-run range), none of whom had been to a rifle range in at least 20 years, if ever. Range protocols are as follows: RO calls range hot Put on ear & eye protection 2 people enter booth 1 friend shoots until RO calls...

    Fox News is making me ILL!

    While Fox News tends to be more balanced than other media outlets (IMHO), from what I've seen there seems to be a typical media anti-gun bent to their reporting. For example, when the VT shootings occurred, I remember a ticker at the bottom of the screen listing gun law "facts" that seemed...

    Account of a first-time shooter

    This last Wednesday I took a group from work out to the trap range - a total of five of us participating. 3 of the others had shot before, although not for a long time. The 4th had never touched a gun in her life. I started out by giving her some 1-on-1 instruction in stance, proper hold...

    Shell casings sticking in an H&R Topper?

    I just purchased an H&R Topper Deluxe Classic (heavy, ribbed barrel, 3" chamber) in 20 ga. and shot it for the first time today. Not a bad gun overall, except that in 2 rounds of trap I had three occurrences in which the discharged shell casing would not eject, and required (very) gentle...

    This story makes my stomach hurt

    I first heard this on the St. Louis news tonight, and something smelled funny about it, so I searched for an article and found this: http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/state/16232023.htm Without knowing the details I can't say that these guys are great representatives of our...

    Modernize pre-64 Winchester Mod. 94 - am I a heretic?

    A few years back I inherited a Winchester model 94 when my father-in-law passed away, and after a bit of research I learned that it was manufactured in 1956. At one time I tried to sell it, but found that I couldn't get what I wanted for it, so decided to keep it - besides, one day my son will...

    Why do I have to deal with this garbage?

    +1, emphatically. My wife is a former public school teacher. We always talked the line that schools aren't as bad as people say and that home schoolers are generally anti-social freaks. It took one year of our son in kindergarten to realize that we were wrong. Politically, public schools...

    BB gun for 5 year-old?

    I got my son a daisy buck for his 6th birthday. It's a dinky bb gun, but it seems to fit him well. Assuming that your son is of average size for his age, it should be a pretty good fit for him, too. The sights are not adjustable, but my son's is pretty accurate and consistent at 5 meters. It...

    Now that it's getting colder in the North does that change the way you CCW?

    I still carry in my usual mode, but I try to be more careful to avoid situations where I would need to leave my weapon in my car. Sliding a frigid hunk of steel into my smartcarry holster once was enough, thank you! :eek:

    Pro Gun radio hosts

    This is local, but in the St. Louis area there is an FM talk station at 97.1. Generally conservative programming, such as Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc. Of the local hosts, there is one - Randy Tobler, (an OB/GYN in his day job) who has a weekend show and sometimes fills in or...

    Kel-Tec.... Yay or Nay?

    My P11 has worked flawlessly out of the box, although I can't say it's a "fun" gun to shoot. It is very concealable and its performance at the range makes me comfortable trusting it as my carry gun. The long trigger pull is a bit disconcerting at first, and slows down the rate of fire a bit...

    Fun Day At The Range

    A few weeks ago I took my wife to the range for the second time. The first time we rented a .22 for her and I let her shoot my GP-100 with .38 Specials. On her first time I didn't have her shoot my Kel-Tec P11, as I didn't think she'd like the recoil of the little, light 9mm. This time we...

    CCW and those security things at store entrances

    I had the same question... One evening a couple of weeks ago my wife and I were in a large toy retailer and I had my Kel-Tec P11 in a Smartcarry holster. The store had a "no firearms" sign posted, but I made the rare (for me) decision to enter the store anyway - for the sake of my kids'...

    Why they stayed in NOLA

    Tonight on the news they were interviewing some pathetic souls in NOLA who had walked away from the Superdome. These people appeared to be able-bodied and were certainly moving well on their own, but all they could rant about was why nobody had brought them help, and how slow the government was...

    The gun store down the street is eeevil.

    I guess you must be one of those mentally deranged sorts that gets thrills out of pulling the wings off of flies and stomping puppies! Sicko! Why in the world would anyone need a terrible, violent assault tool of wanton mass destruction like that? :evil: lucky.

    Reliability of Kel-tec?

    I've been shopping around for something smaller to carry than my 4" GP-100, and at both of the shops I've visited I ended up finding a Kel-tec in my price range (read "relatively cheap"). Are these good pistols, cheaply made and maybe with low demand, or are Kel-tec's often problem guns for...

    This guy's nuts.

    I'm surprised that he forgot the obligatory line: "Hey y'all, watch this!"
