    .22lr

    I can see why that could come across that way, my reason for mentioning that aspect was fear of future draconian gun laws. With certain groups trying to institute ballistic fingerprinting databases, the ever returning idea that owners should be responsible for their firearms even when stolen or...

    .22lr

    Actually I bought some 550 round bulk packs the other day, the local academy had a bunch of them in, I also have a couple of boxes of stingers I never shot out. Good point on the gun being picky though, I actually had relatively few problems with the Remington bulk pack stuff but out of a few...

    .22lr

    I recently bought a p22 for various reasons. One is of course that it looks cool, another is that it's fun easy and cheap to practice with, but also for my zombie/hyperinflation/2012/aliens/nazinewworldorder scenario I have the following logic: it's easy and cheap to hide many thousands of...

    next handgun?

    I just got a chl (finally, after several delays), here in tx. I usually carry a little bersa .380 CC, which is a fun gun at the range and meets (barely) my pocket carry requirement. A pf-9 has been on my wishlist for a while, but on the other hand I'd also like something full size, which I...

    bersa problems

    Well, at first I was happy with my purchase of the bersa 380 CC. Unfortunately, that didn't last long. I took it to the range a couple days after I got it, it failed to shoot a single magazine without a failure to feed. Thinking it might just need to be broken in, cleaned, oiled etc, I took...

    What to BUY?

    I would like some advice. My dear father has seen fit to give me a gun for my birthday. Due to the fact that we live in separate states (me tx him ky) he just sent a check, with the additional statement that the original make an model was not binding, and I may choose to buy which ever...

    Best .380 ACP Ammo?

    silvertips I think I'll invest in some silvertips then. I understand the reasoning behind the advice to use FMJ, but I am extremely worried about over-penetration too. I don't mind killing or paralyzing the BG, but I don't know if I could live with myself if I killed a secondary, especially...

    Best .380 ACP Ammo?

    I just bought a bersa thunder 380 cc. I like it.. a lot.. haven't taken it to the range yet. This will (provided it feeds the first hundred rounds without a failure) probably be my carry gun for the next year or so at least I might go to a keltec at some point after all though. Possibly I...
