I have read through the 32 comments posted so far, and outside of 40-82's calling out high-profile antis with armed security in comment #8, I do not think anyone has mentioned that there is a sizable chunk of people in this country who make no connection between RKBA and their own personal...

If you go with the pallets and a mat, I suggest angling it with the top toward your shooting line. For the nephews and nieces, I have a couple of plastic peanut jars hanging in front of a barn from the porch rafters. We shoot at the jars with a Crosman pump. I hung a sheet of masonite...

jcwit said: I'm sorry, but the reason behind the projected increase in the price of milk is as you cite it here is misleading. Had the farm bill expired, the law would have reverted to the 1949 scheme of government price supports (subsidization with our tax dollars) since that was the last...

For what it's worth, this thread interested me, and I would like to provide results from a test I just did: I just tried S&W, Dan Wesson, and Springfield 1911s and a Springfield EMP. The following all have half-cocked positions that can be reached either by thumbing the hammer back or by...

From the OP: The OP did not say "almost tripped." The OP said "tripped." To me, that means there was contact, and the OP either was sent off balance or fell to the floor.

Virginia code lists ten animals as nuisance animals: Pigeons, starlings, sparrows, black rats, norway rats, mice, nutria, woodchucks, feral hogs, and coyotes. From the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' website: "Under state law, these species can be killed at anytime and in any manner...

I personally very much appreciate all the humor on this thread, but I must add that it makes sense that home invaders would break-in while the owner is in the shower. In cold weather, it is obvious from outside the house when somebody is in the shower because of the condensing water vapor...

We got the Kadet kit for my wife's CZ-75, and in spite of the cost (a dedicated .22lr pistol in addition to the CZ-75 would have been far cheaper), I highly recommend this route. I strongly believe that my centerfire shooting benefits from trigger time with .22lr. It's especially useful as a...

For anyone interested, all six seasons of Have Gun Will Travel are available on Netflix streaming. Powerful show. Edit to add: The Rifleman is available from Netflix on DVD only. It doesn't look like Amazon's Instant Video carries it.

I have had three failures: An S&W Model 627 Pro had light strikes because of a backed-out strain screw. I had not touched its innards. A dab of Loctite fixed it. A bubba'ed S&W Model 10-7 that I bought second-hand has frequent light strikes. I am going to put spec springs into it...

RE: "Dutch" This may have nothing to do with the origins of the term, "Dutch load," but this is what I was taught in the seventh grade: The English and the Dutch fought like cats and dogs from about the middle of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th. In the english language, "dutch"...

shockwave, Can you please source the quote that you used? I could not find this quote anywhere other than in your comment: If this quote was a strawman you invented to accompany the snarky "capital offense" strawman that you used as a jump-off point for the non sequitur about breaking...

I have a subjective preference for .45ACP over .40S&W based on the recoil characteristics. I think of the .40S&W as flippy--like 9mm Luger out of a subcompact but more so. I don't get that same impression from .45ACP even when shooting a lightweight, alloy-framed 1911. I acknowledge that this...

2/505, I have no first-hand experience with what you are doing. What both you and CoRoMo have written lead to an obvious conclusion, but I think you need to state that conclusion explicitly: You need the unrestricted permit so that you can legally carry a firearm to protect yourself while...

m2steven, For the M&P platform, the .40 & .357 use the same magazine and are marked thus.

I bought an S&W M&P in .357sig. It's a lot of fun, very accurate, and a great multi-caliber platform. I bought both a .40S&W drop-in replacement barrel and a 9mm conversion barrel from Storm Lake. A barrel change takes all of about five seconds, and the pistol functions perfectly in all three...

CoRoMo--good catch on the paint. I was going to comment on that. So, there was an ND involved? :-)

Sorry to do this quick follow-up: I want to make absolutely clear that I am not being critical of the Army or the soldiers with whom I served and who came both before and after me. I know that I am most certainly not fit to shine the boots of the men of the 101st in WWII. I think of it much...

In the peacetime US Army of the latter half of the 80s, I remember the muzzle and trigger discipline was lax except on live ranges. And on live ranges, the extent of our safety instructions were, "keep it pointed up and downrange." In fact, I recall that the muzzle/trigger discipline was far...

I'm no fan of lawsuits, but somebody ought to sue Mr. Cornock for this statement if he is in any way profiting from sales of this knife. None of the very basic defensive techniques I was taught for use of a short, edged weapon involve the point.
