Got to attend this year's show (sorry, didn't snap any pics, but I did get 'volunteered' to demo the Stress Vest and got a picture with R. Lee Ermey). Anyway, the president of the company I was there with expressed interest in a press list from the show, which apparently is available to...

Kevin -- I assumed it was manufactured by some small, now-defunct unknown company, much like the gun that fits in the fist and is triggered by throwing a punch (the name escapes me). I'm familiar with zip guns, but the fact that it was referred to as a 'revolver' confused me, as zip guns are...

So I'm reading this case for evidence class and there's a description of the defendant's pen gun in a newspaper article written at the time (1930's New York). It goes like this: "[Police also] found . . . a device resembling a fountain pan which is both a revolver and a tear gas gun." I'm...

I can't think of any examples to the contrary, but I'm almost certain this is not the case, especially if it's a hotbutton issue that helps the governor maintain his 'friend of the common man, crusader for reform' image. Someone's been reading the 'if you're going to tell a lie, tell a *big*...

Durn it, I wonder if I'll raise any eyebrows at Los Altos if I go over to the 100yd rifle range with a pistol... Anyway, most amazing shot (at least I thought it was amazing until reading this thread) was with a Taurus .44 mag at 100 yds. Set up an orange (navel, I believe) as a target...

Let's see... unintended consequences: 1) Ban standard capacity magazines -- can't spray and pray, criminals are forced to become better marksmen. 2) Institute a 'drop test' that costs manufacturer's money to have performed -- Criminals are forced to steal more reliable, higher quality...

Not wearing your seatbelt makes baby Jesus cry... ;) And yes, I too remember how we were told seatbelt laws would oh-never-ever-ever be the sole reason for a traffic stop. Just gotta get your foot in the door, baby!

'ouchie,' gotta add that one to the *OGCL Good report tho. *official gun culture lexicon :)

Whoa! Hadn't checked the mail account that's associated with THR in a while. I thought you had lost interest! Anyway, the link I posted in my first response is a guy that still imports Steyr stuff into the US. You may be familiar with all the hoopla surrounding Steyr, depending on who you...

Um, actually Canucks can buy a lot of toys that I can only dream about: Sig PE90, 14mm anti-materiel rifles...

Never got into 1911's, and the Sig 226 is starting sing its siren song to me, so I've gotta give props to the Sig. Are 226 Navy's still available here in the Bay Area?

Those are some cool-as-fonzi snapcaps. They come with the pistol?

Okay, been meaning to post my SU16 experiences for a while now. I have a pretty blurry picture of a 100 yd target, too, if anyone knows of a good place to temporarily store pictures online. My experience was pretty bad at first. Kept failing to extract with SA battle pack stuff and Win...

Thanks for the source for cheap 10mm, Sean. I found those guys early on when researching the caliber, but it's always nice to have someone confirm that that's probably the best deal going on practice ammo. And to GREENFURNITURE!!! I noticed you've got a link to Coal Creek in your sig. You...

Shear, yup, that's the very one. I usually check out the sports section in the murky news on Thursdays. If they've got something really neat on consignment I'll haul butt over there and pick it up! Most people around here seem to buy stuff, put a hundred rounds or so through it, leave it in...

Well, if it's a USR (or an AUG2/special reciever)... hang on, lemme grab mine... okay, there's a button with a little divot in it, sitting flush on to of the receiver. It's directly below the front of the optics tube. You press that bad boy in (.223 cartridge is the ideal tool here) and the...

Well I guess you learn something new every day...

Whoa, you have to *register* handguns in Las Vegas? Nevada? That's messed up if it's true!

Odd, the past couple of days the DOJ site spits out 'the connection was refused' when you try to get the roster...

Ask and you shall receive: http://steyr_aug.homestead.com/SPECIALS.html The picatinny rail is about 3/4ths of the way down, $150. Pick me up one, too. ;) Edited to add: the scope comes off if you press the retaining button in with the tip of a bullet and push the scope assembly...
