Do the transfer out of your CCW holster a block or two away from your final destination. The passenger's seat has a pocket on the back. A couple of coloring books and other kid swag on top of the gun completes the camouflage.

XD holsters are easy to find. Though some label their "XD" holster as also "XDm", to narrow top of the slide means fitted Kydex holsters do not hold as well. The XDm has a slightly improved trigger, but I personally prefer the crisper Glock pull and quick reset. You can pick up an "XD...

A pump action rifle, like the Remington 760 (7600) will load faster than a lever or bolt action rifle. (I've seen guys fire them so fast you would have thought it was a semi-automatic.)

Using that criteria, I would have to say the Ruger 10/22, of which more than 5 million have been made.

Power pistol.

2000 yards, more than a mile, seems a bit over-optimistic.

Get a pre-paid Mastercard and wrap it up in a huge box. He can spend it on whatever that way, not be tied to one specific retailer.

If you're going to stockpile barter fodder, I would go with cigarettes. When the end of society comes, there are going to be some seriously irritable people out there. However, the niche cartridges you are thinking of stockpiling are not the best rounds to learn reloading on.

I have one that takes S&W59 9mm mags. Changing the magazine catch can convert it to a few others, like Baretta, Kel-Tec, etc. Some people have modified Springfield XD9 mags by cutting a notch in the side as well. (Glock versions are not convertible.) It is fun to shoot, and gets a lot of...

I've moved the sights, I didn't understand the significance of the numbers, as they don't make a lot of sense. They run from 1 to 20, and "yards" or even "10 yards" seemed too short for a battle rifle, and using "100 yards per digit" makes the distant measurement (2000 yards) seem crazy as...

Thanks. My wife's uncle died suddenly, but apparently used it last year to go deer hunting, as supposedly 3 prior generations had done over the years in Western PA. It is supposed to be from the very early 1900's per the other uncle's recollection. I looked into reloading. I have about...

My wife was been given a 30-40 Krag rifle that is supposedly been in the family for 4 generations. I do not understand how to adjust the sights for distance. Can someone explain how the elevation is calibrated? Any ideas on ammunition... Hard to find around here, even online...

How did a (sticky) thread "on fighting shotguns" get so deep into Castle Doctrine issues?

The 500 is unlikely to wear out as the major force where the barrel meets the bolt is steel on steel. The aluminum receiver is lighter weight and rust-free in my opinion, which is a plus, not a minus.

The CIA deals dope. The ATF sells guns. Move along citizen; nothing to see here.
