Today I bought a 50-box of 9mm frangible ammo, International Cartridge Corporation. Have any of you tested frangible ammo on ballistic gel or wood or anythning? Is the damage done suitable for self defense?

I used a steel hammer on the front sight. I knocked it sideways a bit. First missing, I occured a ding in the barrel, but hey, problem solved. Thanks for the advice. I undid the warping of the rear sight. With the front sight knockable I should be able to hit bullseye next time. I really look...

The rear sight is a two inches long blade following the barrel, the rear sight fixed at the barrel closer to the muzzle. I gave the rear end of it a push sideways and it stayed in that position, permanently warping the steel blade length-wise. It should be close to bullseye now. No need to pay...

I took it shooting today. It shoots 5 inches to the right at 50 yards and the spread is inside of a circle of 5 inches in diameter. The rear sight adjusts for up/down only. Can the rear sight be removed? What is a good rear sight to take its place? Do I have to let a gun smith do it? Thanks.

I was at a gunshow here in Florida yesterday. I had returned there on the same day with money and paperwork to buy a Springfield P9 in very good condition for $419. Walking around inside among the tables to think my soon-to-come purchase over I saw a private seller at another table. He had a...

Review of Murder in the heartland, by M. William Phelps. This true crime book deals with the murder of pregnant Bobbie Jo in Missouri in the Christmas of 2004. From what I understand it made national and international news due to its cruelty. It was a crime everybody wanted to hear more about...

I practiced drawing a handgun I haven't carried concealed in a while. Drawing the handgun from 3 o'clock with my right hand, the grip got entangled in the T-shirt. Once out the gun felt in the way, blocking the line of sight, both hands extended in front of me. Don't I want to see what the...

I carry a .357 magnum 4" on the hip or at 4 o'clock. A good holster can conceal any reasonably flat hand gun. If your gun has a long barrel, buy a high-riding holster. I'm looking into a 1911.

What is your intention with the gun? If you just want a nice revolver look at the Ruger Super Blackhawk in .41 magnum with Bisley grips. $550 bucks or so.

I carry all the time. Should someone begin to threaten me or attack me in a safe place (I don't go to unsafe places) I know I can wait their anger out and stand my grounds. This makes me relaxed. I don't seek trouble and I don't want trouble. I know my rights. When I'm not armed, which never...

Star Firestar M43 9mm, single stack version. It looks like a shrunk 1911. Stay away from the Plus version with double stack. 3.6" barrel, all steel heavy, recoil-eating. Accurate. Get a gun with a serial number above 2,000,000. I bought mine a year ago, new old stock, have carried it every...

Technically, is it even possible to develop love for a plastic device? How gay do you have to be?

Sewing machine oil.

Terminator 2, when Arnold's terminator comes, bringing a pump action hid in a flat box containing roses, unknown if it is to finish the boy or to finish the other terminator. They beauty of the scene is that the pump action serves a purpose and is used for that purpose alone. Another scene...

Get a Taurus 85 for $350.

The 85 in .38 is sturdy. It can probably take .357 if you exchange the cylinder. But why try? Corbon .38 +p is hot.

Look at the Taurus 608 with a 4" or 8" barrel. 8 shot. Stronger built that the S&W. And more accurate. And cheaper. Plus, that S&W is too light for shooting hot loads, your wrist will degenerate fast.

If the Democrats spend a lot of time in the White House your gun rights will be decimated little by little. Minorities don't like guns because of how their young ones behave with them. With growing minorities comes less gun rights. The country is on its way down to South America, with all their...

I started with a revolver and became interested in trying a semi automatic. The semi automatics with doube action had trigger pulls way too hard to pull. I couldn't see myself hitting anything with that kind of trigger pull. Carrying cocked and loaded with safety on sounded scary, but I'm used...
