    .223 pistols...practical or not?

    I have a 10" barrel 5.56 ak. Through less than rigorous or scientific testing shooting at a mud hill with various calibers, it seems a 10" barrel works reasonably well (meaning it makes huge furrows in the dirt) with 55gr at 60 yds or less. Longer distances mean small, neatly punched holes on a...

    Should your trust have it's own bank account?

    Totally unnecessary. Hundreds of thousands of NFA apps have been validated with personal checks and money orders. No issues. Your lawyers are estate lawyers and are basing their advice on estate trusts. Estate trusts involve huge amounts of assets worth enormous amounts of money. Monetary...

    Where To Send Paperwork?

    Unless you're changing it back to non NFA status, you're not obligated to notify them. Just requested. FYI. az

    FNS vs FNX

    They're very similar, as similar as a hammer fired and striker fired gun could ever be. I can't imagine there would be any difference in accuracy. The trigger on the FNX in SA mode is better than the FNS trigger. Accessories are going to be interchangeable as far as lights, holster...

    Gun Trusts, Any experience

    You don't need to list all your NFA firearms in your trust every time you apply for another stamp. BATFE doesn't care what's in your trust. The only reason they require the Sched A at all is because they're mistakenly under the assumption that an unfunded trust is not valid. And having anything...

    Gun Trusts, Any experience

    "Having the trust amended $50" With a revocable living trust, the trustee can modify the trust at any time. No lawyer needed. You need a new lawyer. Mine only charges $100 for NFA trusts that can be modified any any time by the trustee. Az

    Picking a trail gun (10mm vs .44 Mag)

    You don't need a big badass gun. Black bear are not very aggressive. I've had many run ins with them over the years, and yelling at them usually makes them run away if they don't when they see/smell you. A gunshot, from any weapon, is sure to run them off. Don't shoot at them, you don't want to...

    Carry on a Bicycle

    On more than one occasion, I have been separated from my bike during a crash, and have needed a weapon. Once, when a dog attacked and got tangled up in the bike, and another when I was intentionally run off the road by a road raging cater. If my gun had been on the bike, it would have been 15-25...

    Guns Throughout the Home

    I used to keep guns all over the house, until I realized that it was far easier and safer just to always carry. Az

    45 ACP for black bear

    Black bear are not typically aggressive. Don't aggravate them, follow good camping policies, and have fun. Don't worry about black bear. I've had many encounters with black bear, with several up close. One was trying to steal my pack and I smacked it on the butt with my walking stick to chase...

    Somebody broke into this guy's gun safe.

    Yep. Some call me paranoid, but my safe is bolted to concrete, inside a locked, secret room. It would take someone longer to find it than it would to break into it. And no one except my and my dad know it's there. Az

    My Home Was Burglarized

    There are ways to deal with this. Like I said, think like a thief. A smash and grab will check the nightstand, under the bed, (typically flip the mattress) and in the closet. Don't put them there. When you leave the house, lock them up. Even if it's a simple cable lock to an eye bolt, it will...

    My Home Was Burglarized

    To the op, sorry your home was violated, but I'm glad no one was hurt. Now to enter in the controversy. ;) I'm a retired security pro; owned a access controls business for years. I've seen a lot of breakins both sophisticated and brutally simple. My guns are always as safe as I can make...

    Why the hate on the XD's?

    The XD is a fine firearm. They all are, in fact. I owned an XD for a while. It never malfunctioned and was very accurate. The only reason I still don't own it is that I prefer a hammer and a manual safety. Purely personal preference. If the XD was the only gun available for me, I really...
