    Polish P-64 and Silverbear JHPs (do they jive)

    Hornady in P64 Thank you. I haven't yet tried them in the P64. I should get my Wolff springs in this week and figured I would try it out next weekend.

    Polish P-64 and Silverbear JHPs (do they jive)

    This is a bit off-topic, but so far all of the 9x18 handguns I have owned (Russian hi-cap commercial, EG Makarov, PA-63, and CZ-82 all feed Hornady HPs fine.)

    Perry Calls For Gun-Toting Freedom In Texas

    Up until this one issue, Perry has been a mediocre Governor, sort of like George W. Bush the second, getting by on Hollywood looks and personality. Hey, I voted for Bush twice for President, not because he was so good, but only because the alternative was so much worse. Off-topic: my ideal...

    Art's Grammaw, Revisited

    There's one question I ask everyone on their birthdays, "Are you now old enough to know better?" (It's more fun to ask that when the birthday boy is past 65!)

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    I've been a member for more than a year but I don't think I've ever introduced myself. (If I have -- well, old farts are entitled to repeat themselves!:uhoh: ) Bad news: I suspect my firearm collection is about as big as it is going to get, at least for a while. My wife is insisting that...

    Red-dot sights...

    AimShot After 25 rounds the lens fell out. The AimShot holograpic sight isn't worth the postage it costs to send it back in my opinion. Now I'm wondering if a 1x28 Bushness red dot would give me fast enough target acquisition for a tactical shotgun. If not, I'll probably get the BSA 50mm...

    Red-dot sights...

    I ordered one of these but haven't had a chance to use it yet: http://www.natchezss.com/brand.cfm?contentID=productDetail&brand=LX&prodID=LXPANMR&CFID=215008&CFTOKEN=10464641 Unfortunately, when I went to get the link, I see they are now out of stock.

    Magazine's for Saiga-12

    I was lucky -- I managed to grab two 5-round magazines for under $25.00 a piece before those became scarce. Don't know if it's true or not, but I've been told that the BATF in their wisdom has made it illegal for a shotgun not manufactured in the US to have more than a 5-round magazIne. I...

    Poor man's guns.

    Here's a poor man's Scout Rifle: Ingredients - one Russian M44 mechanically excellent with excellent bore but badly dingged stock and scratched bluing. $60.00 - one Darrell's scout mount $60.00 - one CDNN Star Scope $60.00 - lots of fun work Taking it to the range and letting the...

    Always gun?

    Don't laugh, but mine is an NAA Black Widow .22 WMR. Practice with the .22lr cylinder is cheap and a lot of fun. It's not much gun, but it sure beats no gun.

    Makarov? Would you use it for BUG? Carry it off duty?

    Alduro, you are right about the ball ammo. Moreover, when I first began carrying a mak, maybe ten years ago, my practice ammo was Russian milsurp, washed copper cases, corrosive primers. That stuff was loaded far hotter than any commercial ammo I've used since. It used to sting the crap out of...

    Makarov? Would you use it for BUG? Carry it off duty?

    I carried an EG Mak for years and never felt undergunned. As to the sights, I figured as long as I could consistently hit a piece of typing paper at 15 yards (first round of each mag DA, rest SA), it was good enough for practical purposes. Some people worry about its penetrating power. I...

    .22 magnum balistics

    The problem with rimfire reliability seems to be the alleged claim that rimfire primers are more liable to oil contamination than centerfire primers. That said, the only round I ever had truly get messed up from penetrating oil was a centerfire 9x18 Hornady. But rimfire weapons DO seem to be...

    I want a big gun

    (Don't really take this seriously ...) I think it is Guns Magazine's most recent issue which reviews the EAA Thor, a single-shot handgun in 45-70. One well-placed shot ought to enable you to bring down even the largest vehicles on the road today.

    Some new thoughts for back-up/pocket guns.

    "First let me start by saying I have full size guns and even a kel-tec p-11 for holster carry. I am talking about deep concealment." Really deep concealment? Something you could wear anytime, anywhere, except when you're facing a metal detector? Something so easy to conceal that you can...

    It's a tragedy, but....

    Chris -- you're right. In Columbia the assassination of judges by drug lords has paralyzed the legal system. In the West Bank and Gaza, terrorists have prevented the establishment of any sort of real justice system. We cannot have "a nation under law" when judges fear for the lives of their...

    It's a tragedy, but....

    GunsNRovers: Yes, we do have our share of domestic terrorists. (Didn't I just mention Matt Hale & Kompany?) But I am expliciting stating that these people are essentially as ANTI-American as the most radical Islamist. I defend this by first claiming that ANY and ALL loyal Americans are...

    It's a tragedy, but....

    The Difference Between Terrorists and Americans Terrorists kill those who disagree with them. Americans argue -- vehemently, strongly, and loudly, but physically harming our political opponents is directly contrary to our values. We just don't do it. There were Republicans who absolutely...

    It's a tragedy, but....

    The judge's mother was badly disabled. Her husband was on crutches because of a recent operation. Neither could have readily used a rifle or shotgun. But her husband, especially, could have used a handgun. When the authorities deprive us of the means of self-protection, then ipso facto they...
