Guns should be unavailable to small children. Period! When mine were small, I kept even my carry ones locked up in some type of cabinet when I was either away or asleep. Even today, only my carry gun is out of the safe and if I don't take it with me when I leave the house (for any reason) it...

I've shot thousands of 200 grain LSWCs without any problems in my 1911s. There are several loads that work well with this bullet so I recommend just looking up some loads in your favorite manual for the powder you have on hand and give it a whirl. Ditto the comment on not trying to load them...

Drooooool.... Truly great looking pieces of work. I really envy those of you who can do this. I've been wanting to try it for a long time but never had the nerve.

I recently made my first try at Kydex. I was needing a holster for my BHP and since holsters made specifically for HPs aren't that easy to find I went with a Comp-Tac holster. Let me say that as an ole-timey leather holster kind of guy, I was really impressed. The holster's fit to the pistol...

Just taking a slightly different path, the .30-30 in a bolt or single action gun is VERY accurate. My son took his first 3 deer using an old Savage bolt gun with some handloaded 110g bullet loads. Even this old rifle with an old K-4 Weaver would shoot just under 1 MOA at 100yds. I also know a...

I really like my 642.

It may just be one currently purchased from the CMP. I suggest you checking out www.odcmp.com and see if you may want to save the money and to the same yourself. I know of someone who just sold an SC 03A3 with a C stock for $750. However, this person had bought the rifle back in the early...

I have a 4" 29 that I've had since the 70s. No, you can't have it! :) The pistol has always had max loaded 240g rounds in it. Have had problems with the end of the extractor rod "mushrooming" and have to watch out for loose screws. The double action is as smooth as glass and still shoots...

I've been using a Galco paddle for my 1911 now for a few years and really like it. I really like the idea of the fast on/off of a paddle. I did go through a few at first to find one that held the gun close enough to the body for my liking. One of the first ones I tried, a Bianchi Accumold...

I've used it on .223, .308, 7mm Rem, .30-06, .243 just to name a few. Haven't had any problems with it at all. Now I do, occasionally, take the decapper rod out and spray down the expander ball and the inside walls of the die. This seems to really help.

Being a Kentuckian, we look very favorable to our southern neighbors. TN is a great state and I've said, for a long time, that if I didn't live in KY, TN would be my next choice.

I agree, sounds like the expander ball is the culprit here. You may also want to take out the rod/expander ball from the die and spray it down good with a case lubricant like Hornady's. You may have to repeat this procedure every 100 rds or so to keep it "slick".

Good luck Illinois!! I know its a tough hill to take.

A big +1 to Lonestar.45

I know many good folks over across the river in Southern Ill don't like things any better than I do. Its just that the state laws are made by a larger group further north (guess who?). As CCW holders, you MO residents now face the same problems us KY and IN folks have. We have to be sure to...

BHP triggers are normally VERY hard but they can be fixed by a good gunsmith. As for reliability, as far as I'm concerned, they set the standard. I've had three MkIIIs and all have been totally reliable with any bullet type I've tried.

I just recently acquired a used Galco Jak Slide to try with both my full sized 1911s and Browning Hi Power. I don't particularily like the way the full sized 1911 fits in it. This is due to the long barrel almost sticking in my front pocket making it a little uncomfortable. I think an...

Big fan of the S&W 642 here. That little bugger just lays in a pocket and you almost forget it is there. Besides, you can use the same ammo that you do with your M-10.

I don't see why the Feds don't try to adapt the "community watch" program concept when there appears to be many volunteers already. However, the people who volunteer for this may have the best intentions in mind but the adventure seekers had best stay away. It may be several peoples'...

As far as I'm concerned, I don't trust ANY politician's stand on RTKBA - Bush or otherwise. Though I do believe that GW stands on principles more than any pol I've seen in a while, a pol can always be depended upon to sway with the wind when it comes to popular opinion. Clinton went with the...
