    .410 bolt action shotguns, what would you get and why?

    I can understand why you’d want one to collect, but I do find them a bit sketchy as another poster commented. The one we had was an Eagle Arms brand I believe, made in spain. It was pretty crude. But what always concerned me is the bolt handle itself seems to be the only locking lug. The...

    Over heard at a local gun range.

    This is funny. Ole Uncle Bob had a lot of fishing sinkers and nut crackers in his shop!!!

    Over heard at a local gun range.

    I do wonder how much ammo goes unused. I imagine estate sales are a good indicator. A lot of people who stock ammo never shoot. I’ve known old men with dozens of NIB guns that they will never fire. I do think there is some phycological factor in hoarding ammo. It is like a squirrel who hoards...

    Over heard at a local gun range.

    This is very accurate and a large reason I got out of the business. Margins are so slim on firearms and ammo and the boom/bust cycle is wild. I love shooting, but there are better ways to fund a gun habit than selling guns. I am still shooting Remington 9mm that I bought right after Trump got...

    Electronic Warfare comes to home security systems.

    What could be valuable enough to steal and then fly to South America to sell then presumably return to the US illegally? I can certainly see jamming wifi as a good way to gain access to a house. I imagine a higher percentage of burglars carry guns now than they did even 10 years ago.

    Glock triggers - help me please.

    I think you have it there. I shoot a lot of double action and dry fire on a k frame. Glock trigger is what it is… its a duty pistol. I like pick up trucks but hate the gas mileage. I don’t like Glocks but I like their ubiquitous nature and reliability. Doubt I’ll ever own another brand of...

    Who needs 357 Dainty?

    Lmao the OP must have cracked the bottle a little early. I like my .44 but its a niche round.

    21” barrel 25-06

    $750 is insane for a budda’d rifle. You can buy a brand new Winchester 70 for $1100.

    21” barrel 25-06

    Hard to tell the condition but I wouldn’t pay over $350 OTD for it. It doesn’t look like a professional job. May have been cut due to damage. I doubt most guys think hmmm this 25-06 would kill deer a lot better if it was 1” shorter!! If it was a 308 and 18” I’d be less inclined to think it was...

    Size, weight, power....

    I have owned a NAA mini .22lr, NAA Guardian, Keltec P32, Hungarian PA-63, LCP, LCPII .22, Taurus 94, S&W 642, and a Glock 26. It seems like anything other than the Glock is a Talisman. I still own the J Frame but I am losing confidence in it despite putting about 2500 handloads through it. I...

    These cartridges would not fire.

    There is certainly an issue with the gun. I would get some stock springs back in the gun and clean the firing pin/transfer bar area.

    Five Year Old Shooting a 20ga

    If the kid is sitting between your legs or out a blind and a tripod is used, I can’t see a lot going wrong if caution is used. Especially on private land thats well scouted where the tom’s approach is known. I would load a single round and have the gun in my control until the moment presents...

    Question of the day- Fingerprints on fired cases?

    The only shooting I witnessed involved 2 guys, 2 guns, and a car crash. Shooting started inside the car. The wounded guy got out on foot and shot as he ran away. Once the cops left, there were still cases all over the road. They didn’t clean up the cases, let alone the blood…

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    For what its worth I just picked up a 26 for $400 with original box and aftermarket sights. Shot it today and in some ways I like it more than the 19.

    Why I Think Open Carry Isn't Wiser than Concealed Carry (In Most Instances/For Most People)

    I always find it interesting when people say open carry doesn’t draw attention. When I see somebody open carry, it certainly draws my attention! I’ve never lived anywhere where open carry is common. I have seen it plenty of times but it’s never been “common”. I would say a decent percentage...

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    I am to the point where I don’t trust ANY manufacturer. I enjoy bashing Taurus as my 94’s transfer bar broke. But, I had to send a Ruger SP101 back due to the cylinder binding and a S&W 629 back because 1 of the 6 chambers was basically unfinished. It would not eject a casing and left the...

    .380 ACP the Red Haired Stepchild?

    I shot a .380 LCP into a rotten stump when I first purchased the gun. I was able to dig the bullet out with my fingers and it’s base was visible but not protruding. It did not excite me. I think out of an LCP it makes sense but I would not want to face an armed attacker if all I had was an...

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    I hate to “like” your post but that’s where I’m at with my one and only Taurus. The transfer bar snapped, leaving the gun inoperable. It’s not under warranty. If it was a $15 part like it should be, I’d still be happy with it. As it sits, I’m waiting for a gun buy back or possibly sell it to a...
