Sometimes THR isn't caught by the filters because the name sounds fairly neutral. You can hope... Get better quickly.

Carry guns get cleaned very carefully because I don't want the fouling residue getting on my clothes and holster. Range guns get cleaned when they need it and that is rarely after just one range trip.

The original comment was about reloading which involves both getting rid of empties and loading new ammo. But let's forget about that. If we focus only on loading (starting with empty chambers) and disallow speedloaders then two of the major speed advantages of most DA revolvers, the ability...

If you can't shorten the barrel & recrown, the only other decent option is to counterbore. If you shorten the barrel, make sure you don't go too short, you don't have a lot of barrel to play with before you get into NFA territory. You need the rifling to be undamaged and symmetrical at the...

Dump boxes will surely slow you down. From loops, you should be able to grab and load 2 at a time in a swing-out cylinder gun.

Depends, I guess. First off, all the empties come out at once. Then you can load the new ones two at a time from the box, no turning the cylinder required, no messing with the hammer. I guess if you have a bunch of rounds in a bag and load one at a time, the difference is less significant.

Gunshots are loud without hearing protection. He may not have heard them yelling or understood what they were yelling due to his ears ringing from the shots. Some good lessons for those inclined to learn them. Guns are not magic. Don't assume that criminals will be afraid of your gun. Never...

If a tactic has disadvantages, people should be told that it does. Sharing important information about owning and using firearms is what this forum is all about. I'm not advocating disparaging people, but pointing out that a practice is foolish in some circumstances is certainly warranted if...

1. That's a very different objection than saying that someone is "fine with picking and choosing which parts of the right to keep and bear arms they want to defend" for pointing out that certain practices. have potentially serious disadvantages. 2. You've already raised this issue and I've...

That is NOT true, at least not here. It's not about a specific aspect of "gun ownership" it's about a particular "tactic". Saying that it's disadvantageous to use a particular TACTIC in some situations is absolutely not being "against a certain aspect of gun OWNERSHIP". Well then, what they...

There are many things that are legal that are not prudent in every circumstance or that have disadvantages or that are potentially harmful to the person doing them. Pointing that out is not arguing that people's rights should be restricted. I'm sure the anti-gunners will use whatever...

I realize that. It's clear when you are talking about rights and when you are not. The problem comes when arguments against open carry made based on practicality are attacked on the basis that those arguments are about restricting rights. LIKE THIS: Nobody on this thread is throwing anyone...

It's a good time to stockpile ammo when prices are at a low point and supply is high. This makes it simple to find what you need and relatively inexpensive to buy it.

It's sometimes hard to get shades of meaning or sarcasm from the written word. I assumed you were speaking literally about reality. Well, if you are, you are doing so in spite of clear statements that the arguments against open carry are not about rights but about practicality. Sort of ironic...

There were some Ruger P series made as DAO guns. I believe that the H&K USP could be had in DAO. Finding one of those could be difficult. I haven't been inside one in awhile, but it seems to me it might be possible to modify a Beretta 92 to a DAO configuration without too much difficulty.
