We always carried where I used to work and my rule is that I NEVER hand over my firearm even to my fellow employees. If they want to see it, fine as long as it's before I punch in on the clock. Once I'm working, forget it. If I'm helping a customer who's wants to see a firearm on the shelves...

Sprout, I know the reloader at Jackson Arms, since I used to be a manager there, and I can say that he does careful work. But remember, any mass produced ammo WILL turn up a bad one once in a while. Murphy's Law. I also have run into bad FACTORY ammo (different brands) with no primers...

So, what is the level of lead in blood that is considered harmful? Anyone with a guess? My blood lead level count was 35 about 5 years ago and my HMO primary physician didn't think that was something to worry about. But, get this. A fellow shooter (who is a federal marshal) was put on...

When your present choice of carry only holds 6+1 and you can't run fast with a cane, is why I have at least one extra mag.

OK, you got me. What's a 4583TSW?

When I was younger and had all these nice battle rifles (4 Garands, 1 M1A, FAL) I thought I had it made when the ballon goes up. Then along the years, my priorities changed. I'm not going to hang around in one locale having a fire fight. I'm going to split from the word go. I now have only...

You get to load and shoot ammo that you may not find from the general manufacturers, from the mundane to the exotic. BTW, from my experience (and maybe others) reloading doesn't actually save you money - it just lets you shoot more for the same amount of cash. Reloading is and has been my only...

vsse, As general advice, why don't you just go to firearms division under State of California - Attorney General and read what you can about what constitutes an assault weapon. (or even call ATF - FROM a pay phone) Anything on the banned list or meets the assault weapon description means you...

chaim, You can check out www.tacticalwarehouse.com for fox pepper sprays. They also sell surefire lights and knives.

A few ND's and AD's when I was working the ranges. 1) a security guard shooting for re-qualification shoots his left finger tip off 2) a girl who was being taught how to shoot has a jam, the friend tries to clear it himself instead of having us do it. He shoots himself in the right...

Fourdeuce82d, JesseH, So how are things with CHL's in Texas? I'll be there no later than probably March next year. (either that or somewhere in Ariz.) If it's Texas, then it'll probably be Dallas. 6 months as a resident, correct?

Like QuarterBoreGunner mentioned, only use full power jacketed loads and NEVER lead. We had a list of recommended ammo that would function reliably in the D.E. and to not use anything not on it. We had more troubles with .44 D.E. rentals than anything else. QuarterBoreGunner - you didn't...

The company that everyone seems to ignore for semi-autos, Smith & Wesson. My 4513TSW has been without a problem for years, though the small grip and only 6+1 is a turn-off for a lot of people. If I bought the Gyro-jet commemorative boxed set in the late 60's - early 70's (?) I would have to...

hd1, I may have stated incorrectly when I said pre-tensioned, it that some may take this to mean the striker (and striker spring) is fully tensioned. When you pull the slide fully to it's rearmost position and then let it run forward, the pistol is PARTIALLY cocked, i.e. the striker spring...

hd1. Actually the Kahr's are cocked each time the slide is racked. The striker is now pre-tensioned and ready to fire when you pull the trigger. Upon pulling the trigger, the internal lever is raised to push up the blocking pin thereby releasing the striker to go forward and fire. Kahr's...

12-34hom, So what is the maximum range that you will be shooting at? When I used to shoot matches up to 200yds, I used a common Redfield 6-18 but just left it at 18 power. Anything over that I used a Leupold 10x. It's funny that you would use a lower power at longer ranges but I had the...

Guess you can compare this to black powder cleaning. I used to clean with a few patches with 409, followed by clean patches then one or two light patches with G-96. Never had a barrel go bad on me even stored for months between shooting. You can laugh, but I've also used cleaning liquids...

Knocking out the slide stop pin gets easy after the first few times, but it still won't get to the point where it will push out easy like a 1911. I just use the thick end of a widget (a plastic tool that some 1911 users may know about) to tap out the Kahr's slide stop pin. It's about 6inches...

You think all the previous postings are bad (well guess it is), but read this. When I was a range master and manager, I had this young kid who knew everything (as all young kids do). One day I look over at him and see him with a cocked pistol and knowing that he doesn't own a 1911, ask him...

antsi, Wonder how 9mm Gold Dot bullets will work for the 357Sig. For some reason I bought 5000 Gold Dots in 9mm and 3000 in 38special (which I no longer have). The 9's have been sitting around for about 5 years and I figured it's about time I put them to use. Either as 357sig in my 239 or...
