    12" 12 gauge ballistics

    Last thread I could find on this was 4 years old; so I'm going to see if there's any new info out there. So; I'm about to begin the paperwork for a SBS. Plan is to get a Remington 870. Keep one 28" barrel for hunting, buy another cheap one to cut down to 12" or about flush with the mag cap...

    Nevada/Las Vegas people; open carry?

    Thanks everyone! As mbogo mentioned, the SHOT show doesn't allow carry of any kind, so my carry will only be to other places. Y'all have been very helpful. If in a pinch I will open carry around town, but most of my time will be spent between the hotel and the show, so just knife carry I...

    Nevada/Las Vegas people; open carry?

    I searched this but all of the threads are a few years old. Laws and department training change in that amount of time. I am an Oklahoma resident that will be visiting Las Vegas for the SHOT show. My carry permit is not recognized by Nevada. Until I can obtain a non-resident Nevada permit, I...

    I was a victim of an armed robbery

    Glad you are ok. You're already on the right track, by acknowledging the breakdown in situational awareness. You identified several things you can do in the future that might have changed the outcome; locking the door, installing cameras, and keeping your pistol in a more accessible place. If...

    Sig Sauer SIG716 Patrol Rifle

    I have heard from many sources that most of those terrible YouTube reviews are rigged by Sig haters. I do not own a Sig 716, but I have talked to several knowledgeable people who think that it would make a great rifle. If it is really that bad, I am sure that Sig's customer service would make...

    16" LWRC REPR Any owners?

    I am eyeing the 16" REPR by LWRC. I am pretty well sold on the reliability and accuracy that everyone claims it has. What I can't find is a report on how well it handles in CQB or 3 gun matches. There are lots of happy 20" owners out there, but I have yet to run into someone who owns a 16" REPR...

    Who makes the prettiest .357 lever action?

    Cimarron 1873 Deluxe 20" short rifle with checkered grip. Hands down. I've always thought that the 1873 was the best looking lever gun out there. Not to mention smoothest and very reliable. Try these guys : www.longhunt.com Best prices and certainly the best customer service I have ever dealt...

    Dominant Hand for Self Defense?

    Thanks guys! I will work on shooting with both hands but I am glad to know that shooting "cross eyed "is not a problem. I agree that both weak and strong hand shooting is the best practice for all situations. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't majorly screwing myself over by predominantly...

    Dominant Hand for Self Defense?

    OK, I am very left handed, but my right eye is dominant. This is fine for rifles and shotguns, I am able to shoot them right handed with no problem. But when it comes to handguns, especially the heavier ones, I don't find my right hand near as comfortable as my left. I can hold the gun longer...

    California gun owners: question about transporting

    Ok I might have spoken too soon. One last question. If pulled over by an officer, or stopped at one of those state line check points, am I required to inform the officer that there is a handgun in the vehicle? Even if it is unloaded, locked in a case, in a suitcase, in the trunk?

    California gun owners: question about transporting

    Well it sounds like in a vehicle I am good to go. Any foreseeable problems moving it into a hotel room in LA?

    California gun owners: question about transporting

    I know that this is not expert legal advice and that I personally am responsible for knowing the law, and that I can't be sure that the advice I receive here is reliable or accurate. Ok, with that out of the way, it seems to me from reading California law, that I am ok to transport a handgun...
