    Hornady Zombie/Z-Max 224 a really good deal?

    Aside from all the hoopla and marketing, and given that the z-max bullets are considered equivalent to the V-Max bullets, are the z-max bullets just a really good deal? I'm looking at the 55gr z-max with cannelure and it's almost 25% cheaper than the equivalent v-max bullets. I really don't...

    Possible to convert Kahr CW40 to 9mm?

    I know that 9mm conversion barrels exist for other types of hand guns, but do any off the shelf solutions exist to convert a Kahr CW40 to 9mm? I regular shoot 40 in larger handguns, but I find the cartridge a bit much for the Kahr.

    If You Were a Thief, Where in a Car Would You Ransack?

    I'm trying to see if there is a "safer" place in my car for my handgun. If I were a thief, I would walk the lot to try to spot something worth while to steal, like probably a gps unit. Then I figure it's smash and grab. While I'm inside, maybe spend 10 seconds to check glovebox and console...
