I received the attached PDF in my email, today. I think I got on the list because of my emails to Gov. Daniels' office regarding lifetime CCW. It features Mitch Daniels shooting what appears to be a Glock at a range in Iraq, covers the basics of the lifetime permits and "castle doctrine"...

A cousin brought this in today. No idea on the history of the gun, prior owners, manufacturer or even caliber (though I assume the stamping has something to do with it). There are two sets of markings - on the frame and on the breechplate. A .22 short carefully inserted into the chamber...

We've got a few people on THR that go to IUPUI in Indianapolis, so I thought this might be worthwhile to post. I dropped by the IUPUI police station again today to talk to Captain True about the gun lockers they advertise as being available to CCW holders who are prohibited by University...

A long time ago, I bought a box of mixed dies off of Ebay. Included in this set was an RCBS set for .357 that I've used ever since. At one point, I broke the decapping pin and didn't have a replacement, so - in keeping with my theory that one should never use the right tool for the job - I...

I'm thinking about picking up my first can in .22LR, and have been looking at several different manufacturers. One of the lower-cost manufacturers is Lakeside Guns. They're offering to custom build a suppressor capable of 38-40db suppression out of the materials I request for half the cost...

Recently I've been looking for a home in west-central Indiana and went out with a realtor this morning to look at a house on lake Patton, near Martinsville. I don't mind doing some work on a house to fix it up, but this was a little far gone. It would be a good project home if I had a huge...

December 18th CSI shows reloading on a single-stage press (RCBS Rockchucker) and mixing/shooting into ballistic gel. They went on to make impossible assumptions from the tests, but I thought it was pretty cool. Anyone else catch this?

There are quite a number of members of this forum who cast their own bullets using reputable equipment and dies. As a mental exercise, I decided to solve a theoretical problem and play with melting metal. Assuming I were unable to buy bullets in any form, and assuming I had powder, primers...

In a few weeks I'll be going to Branson, Missouri for a week between October 11th to the 18th in celebration of your passing reciprocal CCW. (okay, not entirely for that reason, but it certainly influenced my choice) Are there any good ranges or gun stores in the area that I should be sure...

What small arms were never adopted into major military service but in your mind should have been? What rifle/pistol/shotgun/subgun/gpmg/etc was the dog's nightshirt of its time, but never made it into the arsenals of any major player?

Tonight (about an hour ago, in fact), a friend - we'll call him Alex - and I were out walking off a few coffees and light meal that we'd had at a local Steak n Shake. We tend to get together very late on Friday nights as that's when we both know we'll be free. Anyway, I'm standing by a curb...

Kcustom45 found this in a bag of .45ACP cases he bought.

Kcustom45 and I were planning on making a trip up to the Cabela's in Dundee Michigan and we figured that since Michigan and Indiana had a reciprocity agreement, we'd be covered. However, I'd heard of individuals being arrested in Kentucky with valid Indiana carry permits because while the...

I've seen these advertised for a while now, and always thought they were a cute idea. Not terribly practical, but cute nonetheless. Does anyone here have a Stinger pen gun? What do you think of it? I'd want to try one before I would buy it, but it seems like a nifty novelty gun.

Some of us are limited to shotguns for modern long-arm deer hunting. Ammo companies have capitalized on this and offer everything from whizbang super-slugs to plain ol' Foster slugs. For those of us who are forced to use shotguns on deer, what slugs do you prefer? I'm a fan of Remington's...
