    What will my granddaughter shoot in Navy boot camp?

    My oldest Son completed Navy basic six years ago so I was anxious to find out after his graduation ceremony what type of live fire exercises they had for new sailors. As I recall he was trained to disassemble the Beretta M9 and had a few rounds of live fire. The only other weapon was a...

    Brass To Face, Glock and Others

    I purchased my first Glock 30 in 2001 and I've purchased several more over the years, all Gen 3 pistols. Not one has ever sent brass into my face over thousands of rounds fired. This past January I purchased my first Gen 4, a Glock 21. After cleaning and lubricating it I headed to the range...

    Americans own nearly half the privately owned guns in the world

    This reminds me of the move "Lord of War", one of my favorite movies. So paraphrasing the movie's opening scene, "Americans own half of all privately owned firearms in the world. What will it take to own the other half?"

    Ammo prices have risen sharply it seems.

    There is some good news. The Natchez ad for various 223/5.56 rounds came out yesterday and I just checked their web site and each one is still in stock. That wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago, everything would have already sold out. So, perhaps things are starting to calm down.

    3 Nice .45s - What Would You Do?

    Isn't the Colt Special Combat Government a custom shop gun that sells for $1800 to $2200 new? Those are the prices I'm seeing on GunBroker. For $1100 this gun is either used or the deal of the century and I'd jump on it. If it is as good as my new Colt Gold Cup, it will be a superb firearm...

    My Range Was Ordered Closed Today

    I also belong to a private range started decades ago when the area was all farms and woods. Today several high dollar new homes dot the landscape in the area. We have both a pistol and a rifle range along with a trap range. Even though we're a private club, the local police have used our...

    Can the ammo situation get much worse?

    If you're looking for ammunition at major retailers, I believe you'll most likely be disappointed. This past weekend I took a drive out of town and stopped at a sporting goods store in a small town. While quantities and variety weren't huge, they had .22LR, .380, 9mm, 44spl, 44mag 45acp and 45...

    Divorce and guns

    The pain of the divorce will fade and eventually you'll be left with a good rifle that shoots well and be glad you kept it. Speaking from experience here.

    the Shortage - when do you think it will end?

    I don't know how long this period of shortage is going to last, but I am not optimistic that it will end soon. What I do wonder is why the marketplace isn't responding to the shortages. Outside suppliers from around the world should be jumping into our market to take advantage of the current...

    Glock Gen 3 or 4?

    My experience with a Gen 4 Model 21 that I bought new one month ago. Your mileage may vary - "Perfection - Lost" I purchased my first Glock twenty years ago and have purchased several more since. All have been unfailingly reliable with good trigger pulls and brass ejection. I saw the Gen 4...

    Gun Culture in Canada and Our Struggle (Video)

    Nicely done. I'm surprised the CBC would even run a piece showing a rational gun owner enjoying his sport. Thanks for sharing.

    $352.77 + shipping for 2 boxes of 22 ammo.

    I've been thinking that perhaps it is time for online sites such as GunBroker to suspend ammo sales. The way I see it, ammo is being bought at retail for the sole purpose of reselling it for profit on the online sites. I'm all for free market capitalism, but the current situation is making it...

    A big thanks to Magpul

    I'd suggest a sticky with a list of companies that are standing up to the gun grabbers. I know that I'll make it a point to shop these companies in the future and hope others would do the same.

    The NRA needs a face....

    I agree. The NRA needs a new public spokesperson. They also need to get their message out over the airwaves to counter at least some of the liberal media's rhetoric on guns.

    Summary of Feinstein's Proposed New Gun Control Law

    We've had a Fast & Furious investigation that has been going on for years with no resolution. Then we have the Benghazi attack with yet another investigation that is going to drag on for months if not years. My point? Any new weapons or magazine bans will need to be carefully considered...

    most affordable (ahem cheapest) red dot type M4 scope that holds up and works well

    I don't own one, but I'm seriously considering a Lucid HD7 for my upcoming build. Reviews on Amazon seem very positive to date.

    Checked out a Glock 36 today. Magazines were not dropping free.

    I thought I had the same issue on my G36. Turns out the bottom of my hand was holding the magazine in place even though I thought I was holding my hand far enough away to provide clearance. Try this test, hold an unloaded G36 by the slide and hit the magazine release. If the magazine drops...

    44 Mag - 2 questions

    I've owned 629's for a long time. Excellent guns and very accurate in my experience, S&W revolvers are the only brand I've ever owned. From what I've read S&W did enhance the durability of the Model 29 and 629 with an "endurance" package that was added in the late 1980's. I should note that...
