If you are having problem just getting them "on paper" then I suspect the sights are off, but at 8' they would have to be very off to not hit within 4" of the aim point. You can try a couple of simple things: 1) try a very large piece of paper or cardboard target. maybe the sights are 4 or...

Will the 627 extract the cases without moonclips? I've never had luck with the maxfires. If you think moonclips are too flimsy, than you've been using the wrong kind of moonclips. Get some from Ranch Products. Good quality at a good price. I have literally hundreds of them in assorted...

Isn't a limit a loss of one of our rights? Giving in "a little" just leads to having less the next time you have to give in. Making a law to make something illegal more illegal is stupid. Do you really think a criminal will commit a crime if he's only facing 2 life sentences but not 3...

I don't know what that seller had in mind, but I see it as not a question of could an 11 year old handle a firearm, but could he handle a pistol. In NYS (same the groans) it is illegal to anyone under 14 to handle a handgun. Is it enforced? Not always. Could the seller as well as the parent...

But is accuracy ONLY hitting the bullseye? So anytime you don't hit it, you're inaccurate? It's really a matter of degree of accuracy not accurate vs inaccurate. Which would you say is more accurate: a 3" group scatter around the bullseye, or a 1/2" group slightly more than 3" from the...

I agree that personal habits are not the usual topic for TheHighRoad, but on a general basis, most anti's I know or have seen usually seem to think their stand is morally superior to us pro-gunners. Yet, how many times have various discretions come to light on these supposedly superior...

I've read where he's said that, and I completely agree that it is a good idea. One of the keys is to"toss" it to the assailant. When he has to bend over to pick it up you have the option to run away, or draw your gun etc. But there is a huge difference is being prepared to hand over a token...

I have trouble believing that Mas, or any police officier, would tell us that we are somehow required to hand over are valuables or risk prosecution. Even worse, to say that you can't in anyway fight back to not only being robbed, but being threatened with bodily harm is ridiculous. And it's...

I've always been a fan of 10mm and I found a slightly used S&W model 1076 that I just love. However the price of 10mm brass has skyrocketed, just like most everything ammo related has. So I'd like to find a comparable pistol in 40 S&W, which I can get lots of free brass for. For those not...

It's not hard. A friend is an instructor. You have to take their certification course, which I think in only given in Utah, but I'm not positive on that part.

Lots of misinformation going on here. It is very rare for anyone giving a safety talk, or any kind of legal/gun talk to say "this will always happen". There are just too many variables. Around here, Rochester NY, if you're involved in a shooting outside of your home, the police will not...

I don't see where I was belligerent. I don't see where I said anyone was wrong, or that it wasn't a bad idea or anything but ask where people saw the danger. I also don't see why cetain people had a snit with anything I said. gun battering isn't dangerous unless you let the gun get so...

Even after reading the link, I guess still I don't see where the "risk of a kaboom" comes in. The most likely event will be that the firing pin doesn't extend far enough to set off the round. If it does set off the round, the brass will suffer, gun will get dirty (from the lack of sealing...

I'm not sure I'd make a regular habit of using an ultrasonic cleaner because of the type of solvents they used, not would I give any of my guns an "oil bath" nor use an "oily rag" to "lube" them. The solvents used in an ultrasound cleaner would/should remove all oils, grease or lube from all...

Buffalo Gun Center in Buffalo (of course) has a huge selection of handguns, new and used. Prices are okay, but mostly the going rate. You can find some good deals once in a while. Pro Gun is actually a pretty good store. I've found a couple of good deals on used revolvers from them. I...
