    Who owns a PCC

    CMMG delayed blowback in 45ACP, so much fun. Doesn’t cycle as fast as a 9mm PCC, but just as accurate and “thumps“ nicely. Quiet, too.

    PSA: Don't try to hide bullets.

    A thermos full of liquid is fine in your checked luggage, unless the liquid in question is something you can’t fly with in any way. Ammo under 5kg/11lbs is ok in your luggage unless it isn’t in the original box or a suitable aftermarket box. I’ve never seen a requirement to declare ammo by the...

    Marlin 39M for helping a friend with her deceased father’s gun collection.

    Is 6.5 creedmore here to stay?

    Speaking as someone who has shoulder injuries in the past, the 6.5C is much easier to tolerate than, say, a 308. It filled a niche for me, as I have a 223 and a 30-06 and I wanted a something in between in a bolt gun. I feel comfortable using it up to deer, but elk and above would make me...

    Picked up another early 90s Taurus PT92

    That’s usually an extractor problem.

    Guns You Should Have Bought When You Had The Chance, And Now Regret Not Buying

    I was at a gun show back when the Swedish Mauser were coming into the C&R market, a guy had a table of them in really nice condition for $80 each. I thought about it, then walked away. Dumb, I could have bought them as gifts and one for myself.

    Why aren't lasers more popular on handguns?

    The one time I used a laser other than range work was in competition when it had gotten dark and the lights weren’t working well. As a result, I couldn’t see my irons and could just make out the target. I put the laser dot on the targets and finished the stage. Yes it wouldn’t have counted in...

    go to home defense weapon

    My CCW 9mm pistol loaded with Gold Dots is usually on me or within arms reach, in the bedroom there is a full sized 9mm loaded with GDs and a loaded AR with TAP rounds. Sometimes I have a PCC sitting around too.

    .40 vs 10mm for CCW/Self-Defense (Against Humans)

    And at what velocity does handgun velocity end and rifle start? I have heard 2400 fps down to 2200 fps. Here is where that breaks down. A 30 Carbine is 1900 fps, and the projectile is the same diameter as a 32acp. So do you believe a 30 Carbine does the same terminal damage as a 32/7.65...

    Von Stavenhagen sights are the best for both defensive and competition iron sights.

    Walther Customer Service. Not Good!

    I’m going to put this as delicately as I can. After they have your money, Walther doesn’t give a <edited> about your problems with their guns. I only say this because I have had multiple issues with their so-called Customer Service. And then I was told by their apologists that Walther would...

    Semi-auto...with micro red dot....and life of red dot?

    I started using a slide mounted RDS about 15+ years ago. I started with a Burris Fastfire II, and I killed three of them before Burris stopped replacing them. Next was a Vortex Venom, which went back to the factory, got replaced, and now resides atop a PCC. Then a Holosun 507C, which also had...

    How effective is the 45 ACP Ball round for self-defense?

    I’d rather be shooting a 9mm hollow point than 45acp 230 grain ball. I know that may be the most unpopular thing I’ve ever posted on this forum, but hear me out. The 45ACP ball is the poster child for over penetration. It goes through 32 inches of ballistic gel and keeps going. That means it...

    Why aren’t .45acp carbines more popular?

    I have a 45ACP radially delayed CMMG that started out as a pistol and now is a 16” rifle (until I get the SBR stamp). I ran it with a silencer when a pistol and it is almost as quiet now with the rifle barrel only. Yes, the bullets don‘t really come out any faster, but they stay subsonic...
