    Penetration: .357sig(fmj) vs. .357mag (swc)

    I have decided that this is a dumb question with no right answer. Maybe I'll back up the SP101 with the Glock on the other hip. Why oh why do us gun people spend so much time thinking about and arguing over the most arcane stuff. My next post will be titled: In a SHTF scenario that...

    Penetration: .357sig(fmj) vs. .357mag (swc)

    I like my SP and I also like my Glock. I know that if I did my part, either one would save my bacon. I just wonder if I would seriously handicap myself if I left the SP-101 at home and carried my G33 which is lighter and carries 11 rounds.

    Penetration: .357sig(fmj) vs. .357mag (swc)

    During the week, I ccw a Glock 33 in .357 sig with a name brand 125 grain hollow point. However, during the weekend, when I am out hiking or kayaking I usually grab my SP101 in .357 magnum with a name brand 158 grain swc. My reasoning is that during the week, my primary threat is two legged...

    New Noveske 12" AR-15 upper (PICS)

    How did you index the A2? Did Noveske index it for you by facing off the shoulder or the A2? I just got my HALO and was so concerned with the whole alignment issue that I installed A1 hiders on my primary uppers to be used with the HALO and chucked the peels. I wish an effective flash...

    Jeff Cooper on Glocks

    I am sure that there were many cowboys in the year 1911 who thought that the 1911 was butt ugly and designed as a tool for servants of a bureaucracy (which is a pretty fair description of soldiers, then and today). Calling a Hi-Power or a 1911 beautiful and a Glock ugly seems silly. Both...

    Sights to compliment a Knoxx SpecOps?

    I have looked into the SST before, however it does not offer the recoil reduction of the SpecOps. I have a hard time putting more than 10 shots of even reduced recoil ammo through a shotgun (normal or AR style stock) without a level of discomfort that discourages me from picking it up...

    Sights to compliment a Knoxx SpecOps?

    I need something more consistent than that. Maybe it is because I am a rifle guy and not a shotgunner, but I am looking for some precision at 50-75 yards with slugs and I need sights for that, or at least a reference bead that I can look down the tube and see. While I have no doubt that with...

    Sights to compliment a Knoxx SpecOps?

    Well, the main reason I got the SpecOps (besides recoil reduction) was for the adjustable LOP. You see, I am blessed with very short arms. I am only comfortable with the stock all the way in, or at the most one notch out. I am quite aware of what proper cheek weld is. However, in order to...

    Sights to compliment a Knoxx SpecOps?

    I have been shooting a Knoxx Specops stock for a couple of months. It is all that and the cat's meow to boot. However, I need some advice on sights. I currently have just the front bead, but it sits too low to be useful with this stock. To get any kind of sight picture, I need to get too...

    FAL Blows up, wolf ammo used

    I know many Wolf defenders have or will reply that it could not possibly be an ammo problem because they have shot thousands of rounds of the stuff without problem. However, I submit that it could easily be a bad round that caused this KB. Without more detail, it is impossible to judge...

    9x23 in a 9mm Speed Six?

    I have acquired a 3" Speed Six in 9mm Luger. My brief research seems to indicate that 9x23 Winchester will not work in it unless the chambers are reamed. Is that correct? I like this gun a lot, but it seems big for a 9mm. If the conversion is simple and cheap, I think it would be a good...

    Any Walther fans out there

    My P88c I wanted to be a Walther collector for about a year. Then I got distracted and bought about 30 other different guns.

    Any Walther fans out there

    I think when UMAREX bought Walther, much changed, some for the better and some for the worse. Gone was the attitude that brought us $1,000 P38's and P88's in the late 1980's. They seemed to think that their products were gold. They were good, but I think management was delusional. Finally...

    Star "ultra star" 9mm???

    $100 is low. $175-$225 would be great. I believe $250 would be about market. But, what the hell do I know? Should be a great gun. Almost all Stars have a good rep. The Ultrastar was a great start for them in the polymer market. Then Spain capsized; Astra and Star fell overboard and...

    Robert Heinlein and guns

    Geez....RAH was really the only writer that connected with me in that very crucial time (age 12-20) Maybe all of us who are wiriting on this thread share similar quirks of attitude and adjustment that make us see the world the same.....Heinlein put words to that outlook for me when I was not...
