    Is suppressing a .45 ACP pistol worth it?

    lol folks, Mike was clearly being facetious. Lighten up :)

    When you've held your tongue for just long enough....

    That is unfortunate. I've never been preached to at my local WM. At the most, if its a guy who hasn't seen me before, he'll say "you know that is steel cased, right?" when I select the Tul in 45. They don't ask in a condescending way, just in a way to make sure I realize I am buying steel...

    Background check and being a gun owner cost me a great job.

    And unfortunately, even if gun ownership was a protected class, HR could still just make up some flippant official excuse for not hiring or even firing you.

    Argument with victim's Brother

    You aren't attacking Navy's hypothetical here. Strawman argument. If someone is "on the other side of the bushes" and reasonably, you could not have known, how is that even close to analogous to a situation where you have a bright yellow bus full of kids that you definitely see? They are...

    Toolbox gun....HiPoint?

    based on reports, most likely. You could get a Kel tec though. A bit more spendy but most models are fairly proven.

    Norway tragedy: politics proposing further gun control laws

    What the media fails to mention is that he originally attempted to procure his weapons in Prague, due to BBC reports that the Czech Republic was a haven for illicit gun trafficking. As you know, the Czech Republic has some of the most liberal gun laws in Europe. If you are a citizen in good...

    Surprising damage from a 380.

    Note the story is about FMJ. The concern over penetration is about JHP in 380 ACP.

    Best Place For Cheap Leadcast Ammunition

    The only thing I can think of is revolver cartridges. Otherwise, loaded auto ammo with unjacketed bullets seem fairly rare. That seems like an odd rule. Does anyone actually use that indoor range? If there's another range around you, I think I might advise withdrawing your membership. I...

    Nice Deal on USA Ammo

    You can always google "USA Ammo" to get the actual site without going through a third party referral. That is what I do. I ordered some a couple of weeks ago. Shot 50 of the 115gr 9mm FMJ. No malfunctions, fairly clean, surprisingly accurate. It was remanuf, but it looked new. I would recommend...

    Can a pistol Under $600 be worth trusting your life on?

    Just like with many other things, price and reliability do not always correlate linearly.

    Looking for #4 Buckshot for home defense?

    CCW Shooting Aftermath: What Becomes Of The Gun?

    Depends. In most places, you're going to lose the firearm until the investigation has been concluded. Remember, the police do not have the (legal) authority to be judge and jury. The DA, or in some areas, a grand jury, makes the determination as to whether your shoot was ultimately justified...

    Korean Airport Security at Incheon

    To be honest, I'm not sure what the purpose of these people are. The likelihood of someone coming into an airport and shooting up the place is unlikely. Airports can close down and isolate sections fairly quickly. I would think a terrorist would be more likely to use an explosive - something...

    Korean Airport Security at Incheon

    I would hope no one would combine LTL and lethal in the same weapon - that's just asking for disaster. Also one of the reasons I don't think a Star Trek phaser could ever work in real life. How do they not ever get stun and kill mixed up?

    Favored Synthetic Gun Oil?

    I'm guessing most of us just use whatever is left over after an oil change in our cars. That is why I use 5w20. That's what my car takes. I don't think guns care too much about the differences between car oil weights like a car engine does. You can just use whatever your engine takes.

    Why do some gun shops not like you to "slingshot" the slide?

    I don't think that is really "slingshotting" the slide. What you're doing is releasing the slide using the slide catch on an empty chamber. Maybe that is called slingshotting. I don't know. I always thought slingshotting was treating the slide like a slingshot - pulling it all the way to the...

    Shooters On A Budget

    I recently had a choice between a 9mm and .40 handgun. I decided to go the 9mm route. Ammo is cheaper than 40, and my other handgun which is a 45. I still prefer the 45, but I have no issues trusting my 9mm 147gr HST rounds to do its job if the unfortunate ever happens and I need it.

    Wisconsin: Right-to-Carry bill

    WI will recognize the license of any other state held by a non-resident provided that a background check similar to WI's own was done: http://www.nraila.org/pdfs/PPA%20Summary%202011%20Final%20Version%20to%20Governor.pdf Note that you are required to carry ID with your permit, but that is...

    Hunting ear protection?

    The analogies aren't so directly comparable. You're comparing situations where one can prepare for what is to come to one where that is not always possible. If someone kicks down my door, I'm not going to grab ear pro. I will take whatever hearing damage comes from firing a 12 GA one or more...

    Why choose a 1911?

    Why choose brunette? Why choose blond? Why choose redhead? Personal preference :)
