    Thoracic Triangle: Raising Your Sights During SD Practice at the Range

    You know...I did that, xcop. I saw where 147 grain had listed his age as being 50, as of 12-05-10, on a couple of other boards. So on a different board, where he announced he'd been training others on firearms for "33 years", I pointed out that would have put him up in front of the class at age...

    Thoracic Triangle: Raising Your Sights During SD Practice at the Range

    147 grain posted: How sad! Stephen A. Camp deserves much better. If you don't like an opinion because it's done in a different style than yours, then at least make an effort to take The High Road of restraint and look for the good points for what they're worth. Okay...you lost me here. Are...

    My new M-39

    You may be pleasantly surprized at the accuracy you get from your M-39. Mine is also a B-barrelled kivaari that looked like it had never been fired. After my gunsmith re-shimmed the action, I've been using it on pronghorn antelope, mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk. It is far and away the most...

    Sigs

    I recently acquired a Sig P229R for my departmental duty weapon. The DAK trigger, at a measured 6.3 pounds, is sooo nice that it caused me to shriek in my sleep for over a week. I don't give a damn if I ever see another make or model of defensive handgun. :)

    Actual 9mm Accuracy

    With my steel or alloy frame 9mm pistols, I can repeatedly hit a LaRue steel silhouette at 150 yards off a sandbag rest. The LaRue silhouettes are 11-inches wide and 21.5-inches tall. The only polymer framed pistol I tried was a Glock 17, and it's just not a long-range pistol for me. Guess I go...

    BG Encounters: What are you prepared for?

    Sounds like you've never dealt with anyone who was on crack and committed to killing you. Best of luck with your .22 rimfire.

    Lever gun, .30-30 vs. .44M

    Y'know...I went through this myself over the past five years or so. For me the .30-30 is just more accurate, and more forgiving of errors I make in judging distance. I used a Winchester levergun in .44 magnum pretty steadily for a long time, and I never could get it to hit as quickly and easily...

    Hornady metric 7.62X39

    Bought the Hornady metric 7.62X39 at: http://east.outdoormarksman.com/buyammo.php I've shot the Wolf "Gold" in 7.62X54R and burns pretty clean and is extremely accurate from my Finn Model 39

    Hornady metric 7.62X39

    Just picked up several 200 round cases of Hornady metric ammo in 7.62X39 caliber. The ammo itself is packaged in 20-round blue and white boxes with the "Prvi Partizan" logo on it. Anybody have any experience with this brand? It's supposedly non-corrosive, and the brass cases are Boxer-primed...

    Why Do some guys bad mouth the .30-30?

    You're right....skip the "www." part. My bad. I need to go to bed and sleep non-stop for a couple of days. [email protected] would be better. The Federal Cartridge 125-grain jhp (catalog #3030C) has been around for quite a while in Federal's economy "Power-Shok" line of rifle ammo. Another...

    Why Do some guys bad mouth the .30-30?

    I've packed a .30-30 Marlin with a Williams 5-D receiver sight in the back of my police car for almost 30 years. It's never let me down when it came to cleanly euthanizing road-injured livestock or deer, and it's made short work of assorted varmints, too. Federal Cartridge loads a 125-grain jhp...

    Groups With Slugs?

    Ithaca M-37 smoothbore Deerslayer will cloverleaf (or very nearly so) at 25 yards and print a trifle under 4 inches at 50 with Brenneke 1-1/8 ounce "Classic" slugs.

    Why do "experts" not like the 9mm 147 grain jhp or the 9mm caliber

    San Diego (City) PD has a new chief who finally okayed their guys carrying other calibers besides 9mm. Interesting that a substantial number of their officers have opted to get rid of the 9mm caliber that they were saddled with for so long and carry a more powerful caliber. The previous...

    Which would you rather prefer in 9mm Luger: 124gr or 140gr

    Since both of them would be prone to over-penetrate, perhaps it would be best to use the 124-grain fmj since it will likely shoot closer to your pistol's point-of-aim/point-of-impact. Unless, of course, your pistol has an adjustable rear sight...then you can dial it in to whatever weight of...

    Marlin's 336Y SpikeHorn For Home Defense?

    I work for a metro police agency and we tested .30-30 jhp's in ballistic ordnance gelatin. I even brought in my 16.5-inch barreled Marlin Spikehorn as the test gun. Federal Cartridge's 125-grain .30-30 jhp (catalog #3030C) and Winchester's 150-grain .30-30 jhp (catalog X30301) both penetrated...

    Pro-Gun celebs?

    Ann Coulter seems to be pro-2nd Amendment. There's a photo of her on her website showing her shooting a pellet or .22 rimfire rifle.

    Cops....what is your carry peice on duty and off? Why?

    Beretta 92D on duty. Usually the same thing off duty, though I sometimes carry a Ruger P89 DAO with an exceptionally sweet trigger. SP101-DAO .357 as a BUG...try hard to never be far from a gauge or rifle-caliber carbine, on duty and off.

    What size Buckshot?

    The metro LE agency I work for was unhappily saddled with standard-recoil #4 buckshot for almost ten years before we unloaded it and went to a reduced-recoil 00-buckshot load. #4 buckshot is a poor penetrator on big or heavily-clothed bad guys at anything much beyond bayonet range. Given that...
