    Thoughts on Steyr Autos

    I love my S9. I've had nothing but accuracy and reliability... compared to the A1, the older S9 is nicer for those with small-medium hands, and also better for concealed carry due to the rounded profile (specifically the lack of a standard rail) being less likely to hang up on something. One...

    Penetration anxiety?

    Legitimate reasons exist to carry .357 sig. This ballistic gel comparison is pretty old, but still serves to illustrate the point. .357 sig has much better tissue disruption than 9mm, and has a flatter trajectory than .40 or .45 (or 9mm for that matter). The largest problem with .357 sig loads...

    What type of automotive grease thats similar to

    I'm sure Slick 50 would work great... it's got a bunch of PTFE in it... slicker than cow snot on a doorknob. http://www.slick50.com/products/OtherProducts.htm I'd bet wheel bearing grease would work just fine too, but it stinks a bit.

    Two new posters

    Excellent posters, Oleg. I think that it may be a size issue rather than color specifically, in the second poster. I think it would further your comparison to have both subject pairs be the same cropped size in the poster, especially given the newer black guns are easier to make out anyway...

    Open Carry Deters Armed Robbery

    ^^ Further, is your wallet the one that says "Bad Mother@*#$er" on it? ETA: It's interesting to see how much of a deterrent effect just two guys with pistols can have on some armed robbers in larger quantities with bigger guns. It goes to show that the bad guys prey on the helpless, and...

    Gases in the barrel go to liquid?

    As has been stated, some of the gases in the barrel behind the projectile are far, far above the critical pressure/temperature and the distinction between being a liquid or a gas is rather blurry. As the supercritical liquid/gas exits, it's going to both cool and drop in pressure rapidly... the...

    Ruger countdown here we go again

    And now, for Ruger's next innovation: a direct copy of the Kel-Tec PF9 :neener:

    Weird encounter while walking the dog today

    CREE To the person who asked what a CREE is, or anyone else who may be wondering, what with all this talk of flashlights around: Cree is a manufacturer of high quality LED components, as are Seoul and Lumileds. Basically, a few years ago, Lumileds came out with their Luxeon LEDs, which work...

    share little secrets you have picked up over time

    It seems like this would be a good way to rupture something nasty... is this not the case?

    Best & worst name designations given to guns?

    I've always enjoyed the Pancor Jackhammer. Quite the apt name if you ask me. The Baby Eagle, though? What the :cuss:, MR? What was wrong with Jericho 941?

    Do muzzle brakes make a gun more accurate?

    Good call... I meant both weight and mass, actually. Pressure (from weight in earth's gravity, or an upwards pressure point) will change the frequency of vibration, while mass will increase the moment of inertia, lowering the amplitude. I love physics! *edit* Also, Eug2nd1st, that is an astute...

    Do muzzle brakes make a gun more accurate?

    From my understanding, the crown and compensators affect accuracy by influencing the way the gas interacts with the round exiting from the barrel. The crown works by controlling the exiting gases in a way to insure that there are no spots where the gas exits in advance of the rest, which would...

    Do muzzle brakes make a gun more accurate?

    Muzzle brakes tend to effect a change in the accuracy of a rifle by affecting the harmonics of the barrel, moreso than by evenly distributing the gas cloud during the bullet's exit - that's pretty much what both the crown and compensators do. Thin and light barrels will see more of an effect...

    Attention Soldering Experts w/ .22LR, Or, How Can We Make a Rimfire Snap Cap?

    It seems like the ultimate goal here would be to create a rim with the strength to stop the impact of the firing pin, without shearing or deforming in the process, and with the rigidity to be removed by the extractor afterward. The main problem with using the brass casing of a rimfire round is...

    Is Wall-Mart’s 550 pack of golden bullets as good as the 525 pack?

    I'm still sad that wally-world no longer sells Winchester Dynapoint bulk .22 ammo... that stuff had the best consistency of any bulk we've tried, across the largest number of platforms. Most .22's will shoot each brand differently.... some like Rem, some Fed, some Win SuperX..... but Dynapoints...

    Boise man fires shots after police arrive

    Obviously one has to maintain constant vigilance on the lookout for prowlers... /sped away after the shots were fired, of course.

    best striker fired trigger?

    Everyone ought to do themselves a favor and find someone nearby with a Steyr M or M-A1... it's pretty easily the best polymer striker-fired trigger I've experienced, especially from the factory. They're great guns otherwise, as well.

    XD Glock M&P

    I've been lurking at THR for quite some time now, and I (finally) registered just so I could vote for the Steyr M-series pistols. IMO they can go head to head with any of the polymer wonderguns out there, and have a few distinct advantages to boot. My S9 has been 100% reliable with FMJ and JHP...
