I do understand that noise canceling and electronic are different terms, and the differences behind the technology are vast, but that's the reason I used both. More for ease of searching for the thread. Those Surefires look like they are the same as the sport ear XP3s. Maybe made by the same...

Yes, for EDC. You never know when you'll be subject to some sort of intense noise. I have an alarm system in the home and it is very loud. My roommate forgets the code. Fire alarms can go off (roommate's cooking,) I live next to the fire dept. and police dept. and I'm always subject to sirens...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of ear plugs (not muffs) that are electronic or noise canceling and small enough to be carried every day in a pocket or backpack. I looked around on pelter and HL but didn't see what I wanted. I also tried the site search to no avail. I know that many double...

Any leather (holster, belt, antique armor, sheath, saddle, etc etc) can be wetted to help in forming. The problem occurs when it dries. The quicker the wetting solution (water, oil, lotion) dries the more brittle the leather becomes. Water dries more quickly than leather lotion. Therefore...

I vote for the Silencerco Sparrow. Easy disassembly can be used with .22lr, 22 mag, 22 wmr, 17hmr, all the way up to 5.7x28! very small ~1"ø, 5" long full auto rated, o-rings for better seal ~41db reduction $369 is about the cheapest I've seen, though.

Thanks for the sandbag recommendation. I could at least do that. As for sending it back to the dealer--I doubt that they would want anything that's been altered and I just polished it up to remove some light tool marks. I'll just test it out, I guess. I'd hate to have to send it back and...

I have no way to bench rest shoot it. This is my first handgun as I just turned 21 last year, so I don't really have a lot to work with. Do you think I could make a wooden jig that fits in the mag well or just clamp it or something?

Just the crown is uneven. It's cut deeper (longer?) on the top than the bottom so in theory the gas would escape from the top first pushing the bullet downwards. It seems to shoot a little low and left, but I've only fired about 120 rounds through it since Dec 31st when I got it. I'm more...

Hello everyone. So I recently purchased a PF9 (regardless of how many people claim that it's crap) and I noticed while polishing up a few things that the barrel's crown is not centered to the bore. As a result the crown is nonexistent on one side (maybe .25mm) and rather large on the other...

I'm not sure I would buy a rifle, let alone a product, from a site that sells a "penis laser cut from horse hide and hand assembled." That site is all kinds of weird, nonfunctional, and overpriced.

Take a look at the Robar coatings--NP3 is very slick (self lubricating) and extremly accurate as far as coating depth ( not as important in an AK style gun imo) They have tons of coating styles though.

Have you handled one side by side with a steel frame? I held an airweight (don't remember the model...662?) next to a model 60 in .357. only about 4oz difference--I'd take the steel. airweight was ~15.5oz and steel was ~22? I don't recall exactly, but feel close. I do like when they...

gunstocksinc.com should have some for ithaca 37. It's a pretty common stock pattern from what I understand. You could just buy a replacement or youth stock and add spacers to the end. They make a leather "wrap" that goes around the butt stock and lengthens then LOP and possibly heightens...

It's a tragedy that there have been so many of these cases lately. It's just as much a tragedy that people will use the cases to further their agendas.

I just got the news. Be on the lookout for updates, guys. Just trying to inform everyone of the story. *Edit, shots fired around 1pm. capitol, white house, pennsylvania closed. injuries reported.
