    Does the military follow the 4 rules?

    I live about a mile from my local airport, and I like to go running there because there are lots of level quiet streets to run on. There is a National Guard unit based there, as well as a Marine C130 unit. Today while I was running I was approaching a group of buildings on a public street...

    Lock Trouble

    I've had my 340PD for a couple years. Today when I was shooting it, it locked up on me. The trigger would partially pull, and the cylinder partially turn, but it would not fire. Later when I got home, I realized that it was related to the lock. If I locked it, it would lock tight, and when I...

    Which gun for running?

    When I go running I like to carry using a belly-band. This works pretty well with either my 340PD, or my Kel-Tec P11. Needless to say the gun gets pretty sweaty. My question is, which gun can better withstand this situation? Does the finish on the 340PD stand up well to sweat and moisture? How...

    .44Magnum won't group

    I have an 8 3/8 inch 629 with a 2x Leupold pistol scope. While testing some hunting rounds I found that groups were about 2 inches at 20 yards. When I moved the target out to 60 yards, I couldn't hit the paper. Rounds were hitting anywhere from 10 inches high to 10 inches low, both left and...

    Kel-Tec P11 back from the factory

    Back in March my P11 jammed up tight as can be, at the range. The slide was locked all the way back as if it was welded there. Before this happened I had a lot of various feeding problems, especially with Gold Dots and other hollowpoints. I sent it back to Kel-Tec, and after about 10 weeks I got...

    Lost weight, can my gunbelts be made smaller?

    I recently lost about thirty pounds, and I'm on the last notch on both of my Gunner's Alley belts. Does anyone know if it's possible to have them made smaller? Is it economical or should I just buy new?

    HK USP40 Lots of FTEs

    Went shooting today with my HK USP 40 compact. This gun has always been completely reliable. Never a FTE or FTF. I went through a couple mags of 165gr Gold Dots which eject with gusto. After this I started shooting my reloads which were 165gr FP plated, with 5.1gr Universal. After a couple of...

    Question about Guns and Gold as a hedge

    In light of the economic crisis, and massive government spending, some financial advisors are recommending gold ownership as a hedge against the potential for a plummeting value of the dollar. Could investing in firearms be used in the same way as gold to preserve the value of one's savings...

    Concealment Vest Primary Carry Method?

    I'm wondering how many of you use a concealment vest as your primary carry method. Normally I carry my HK USP 40 IWB or my S&W snubby in a pocket holster. I saw a good deal on a Roma Leather concealment vest, and thought I'd give it a try. I just got it but so far I find it to be very...

    Curio and Relic reloading

    I am new to reloading, but fortunately am being mentored by a friend who has been reloading rifle and handgun ammo for 30+ years. Right now I'm just loading 38 special but eventually I'd like to buy a nice shooting, interesting, C&R eligible rifle, that would also be suitable for a newbie...
