BIG +1 here!!! Pelican cases are hard to beat, plus they laugh off abuse from the airline baggage throwers! A Pelican 1620 makes a good checked bag. Firearm in soft case inside Pelican case + whole thing locked with 2 TSA NON-COMPLIANT padlocks = No one taking ANYTHING out of your...

After Southwest airlines managed to spill hydraulic fluid on my last cloth sided case (with handgun cable whipped to the inside frame) I bought a pelican case and now I get to lock up all of my checked items in the same hard sided luggage as my handgun. I know you can put your firearm in a...

All things being equal, I would rather have my 9mm, however, for many occasions and situations, thats not practical, and I have a .22WMR NAA break-top mini which fits cleanly in the coin-pocket of my jeans. 5 shots in the cylinder and 20 more on quick-strips, and while it's not ideal, I imagine...

I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a 1911 owner, only an occasional shooter of others while at the range and they're shooting my CZ, but... Isn't decocing part of the point of the beaver tail? Bring the hammer further back into the beavertail activating the grip safety, then pull trigger and...

I quit carrying on my ankle after a few trips to the range and being unable to draw and fire in under 8 seconds. have since gone to IWB at 4 o'clock and haven't regretted it 1 bit.

NAA breaktop mini in .22 mag ...and 2 quick strips with 10 rounds each to reload this neat little 5 shot revolver. Fits in the little key pocket on my jeans. the 22mag you have with you is better than the full size handgun you left on your nightstand.

Pelican cases rock! After the airlines managed to ruin 3 out of 5 pieces of a luggage set I got at a warehouse club by: breaking wheels off, spilling hydraulic fluid, and tearing along a sharp edge, I decided to get something a little more durable. I figure if they can break a pelican...

About a year ago I was stopped by a deputy in my home county and while I wasn't carrying I still handed my permit with my driver’s license. The officer erroneously told me my permit was no longer good because the issuing sheriff was no longer the sheriff. He even told me it was a good thing I...

Just becuase it can't be sold doesn't mean it can't be fired.

So carrying at Lake Powell is a go - or will be shortly?

Firearms ownership NEVER came up on my background investigation until we got to talking about hobbies. My investigator was a very pro-gun and apparantly it didn't adversly affect any job opportunities :)

Very true, that none of these questions can be answered at this time as there is no legaleese to pick apart. However, The last time we had a ban, the magazines that I saw that were most affected were pistol mags, particularly Glock and Beretta. If one were to go back and use that as an...

Doesn't matter what you plan. IIRC, the details of the last ban were that for a reciever to be built up with all the "evil features" after the ban, it had to be built in that configuration (at least for a short time) prior to the ban. It comes down to a "prove that it wasn't" argument if it...

The "parts" they went after last time were receivers and magazines and certain features. I would prioritize them: 1)receivers - and get evidence that you've built them up with a bayonette lug and telescopic/folding stock and 30rd mags prior to any ban date to show they were "configured"...

MSRP for the upper on those things is $750. A full up rifle is starts at over $1,100. Far be it from me to presume to tell you how to spend your $$$ but since cost seems to be a factor, might I suggest an AK pattern rifle? Aimsurplus has US receiver/Polish parts AK in 5.45x39 with folding...
