I have recently gotten some interest in the Winchester 1897 shotguns and been reading up quite a bit, but there is a question or two which has been eluding me. During the 1920's-30's I am sure a lot of law enforcement agencies would have used these (i.e. police departments, FBI, prison guards)...

When I qualified for my HCP I decided to use a semi-auto vs. revolver, because it required firing in double action and I wanted to be sure to pass the test (which I would have, but I wanted accuracy). So...I show up to my class which had 30 people in it. For the shooting portion, the instructor...

As far as situational awareness in urban areas when walking out and about: 1) I keep my eyes moving at all times, looking for shady characters/activities at least a 1/2 block ahead. I try to anticipate potential problems before I am within speaking distance. 2) When walking I try to be...

I'm sorry but you obviously don't know what you're talking about. That's real "high road" eh? You have no idea of my qualifications. But just so you know, no, I'm not a hobby hiker, I am a historian with a good deal of military experience. I KNOW that these things CAN and HAVE been done...

"Ok, I'm going to address the several suggestions for a rifle/carbine again: 1)Even for the 4lb Kel-Tec Sub 2000, you are talking the weight of an extra tent and sleeping bag. How 'bout ditching the tent AND the sleeping bag? 2)The suggested mode of carry (strapped to the side of your...

"I don’t remember who were the actors but they were different than the TV series." Being a big fan of the radio version of Gunsmoke, thought I'd throw in a couple of other bits of info. In addition to the aforementioned William Conrad, in the radio show the role of Doc was played by Howard...

Actually, per WV state law, carry is legal...you just have to know (or at least did) where the park boundaries are. I would have to add though, if there is one place in the world that I feel the safest without being armed it's Harpers Ferry. I lived there for many years and will be moving back...

I didn't want to derail the thread on the college professor talking about filing serial numbers off at gun shows, so I thought I'd start a new thread. Several people stated in that thread that pre-1968 guns with defaced serial numbers are legal to own. What I want to know is does that go for...

Question about Norinco 1911 mods. Thanks fellas, interesting thoughts. I may just have to let the roll marks be :( I hadn't thought about the bluing affecting the welded vs. non-welded steel differently. Which takes me back to how much metal can I remove on the sides without harming it? I plan...

Here’s some questions or for those in the know. I am on a budget, and I am thinking real hard about buying a Norinco 1911A1 to “convert” into a quasi pre-war Government Commercial type 1911. I know it will never “be” one, but I’d like it to resemble one as close as possible. I guess my questions...

Okay, here is an odd question I have, and I hope I'm putting it in the right section. I wear overalls a goodly percentage of the time and have a carry permit. I know some guys carry while wearing overalls, but I am curious as to how they do it. Do they carry it in their pocket? Wear a...
