Glock may have a low bore axis, but not as low as an Alien or an RIA 5.0. The reviews I have seen on these pistols is that there is not much barrel jump. Also, the purpose of a rotating barrel is often to reduce felt recoil. See the attached Bing Search. The general theory these days is to get...

Get rid of that stupid grip angle. Get rid of that awful trigger. Make the gun so that it can be taken apart without pulling the trigger, or without using those stupid little tabs. Make something more melted that conceals better, rather than that stupid brick looking thing. How about something...

Hello short barrel. To be clear, the online publication The Daily Beast is the group that deleted my comment, and not NPR. I actually appreciate NPR's international news, though I will agree, in my opinion, they have a left wing bias. As I said, I like to collect news from many different places...

I liked The Daily Beast on Facebook because I like to get my news from a variety of sources. I know they probably have a bias, but all news sources do; that's why I like a variety. Fox News AND NPR... Yesterday they had an article by Cliff Schecter, called "AK-47's, Now Made in America. The...

I have not read the whole thread, so if my argument is out of place, I apologize. I view licensing of firearms the same way I view another right: voting. Lots of stupid people vote. When stupid people vote, sometimes we get bad leaders, and sometimes as a result people are killed in the cogs...

Just bought a cheap old Savage 110 in .270. I would like to rebarrel to a stainless 6.5x55 Swedish. Who sells good barrels at reasonable prices?

I stand corrected. I was thinking about all the 9mm Norincos, but you are right: the .45acp is closer in length than the 9mm

"bigfatdave," you may be on to something. A 7.62x25 conversion barrel for an XDs 9mm would be the cat's pajamas.

Polymer framed, striker fired Tokarev with modern safety features. Powerful, decent capacity, light weight, and thin for CCW.

^^ As long as you are not left handed. :)

To clarify: Sam Cade, are you saying that they are still importing Saiga firearms? I checked the Treasury link that you mentioned, but I could not tell.

Rather than citing people from this message board, though, you can now cite scientists who describe how criminal mass shooters feed off of irresponsible reporting. Also, I think it makes more sense to start dwelling on the "irresponsible reporting" aspect than on the "cops in our schools"...

Here is a very good article from the Wall Street Journal talking about the psychology behind mass shooters, and how a change in how the shootings are reported could reduce the number of mass shootings. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303309504579181702252120052

I don't remember if it were an English writer or not. I suppose that is possible. Still lots of mess ups, though.

I was in a gun store a few years ago. An obese, uniformed police officer from a nearby small town was in the same store. An older, disabled man went up to the officer and asked him a discreet question. I did not hear what. As I walked by, though, I heard the officer explain that if you shoot...
