The Masada, with it's aesthetic similarities to the M-41A Pulse Rifle make it an instant desire. That said, AUGs are the bee's knees if you don't mind a dirty cheek :-)

Looks like a beeyotch to change mags with the grip there.

I need to start saving. I'll take a compact when you get around to making one, and somthing with a 6" barrel. Finally I'll be able to drop steel without doubletapping them or shooting right at the tippy top of them. Yay! I have a million questions about the tongs. I just don't...

Incredible. Public School Administrations these days are out of control. Lawsuits generally piss me off, but this one HAD to happen. http://www.gazette.com/articles/speech_26669___article.html/district_corder.html

The truth hurts.

Are you kidding me? No one mentioned arming 3 year olds. This is a strawman argument and I'm not biting. Regardless, we have a pretty clearly worded Constitution that says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Trying to regulate actions by regulating ownership is foolhardy at best, and shows a marked...

Restriction on a harmful act, not ownership of a NECESARY TOOL. Don't need a permit if you have permission on private land. And both of these are for public safety without infringing on The Constitution. I disagree. God given rights ARE absolute, it just sometimes takes a Revolution to...

Steel Frame = Good Polymer frame = Good Aluminum Frame = Bad Scandium Frame = ? Steel and Polymer frames are very strong. Aluminum frames probably aren't a problem with 9mm or .45 caliber autos, as long as you don't shoot 10K+ rounds a year. There is a reason though why you won't...

I stopped counting after 25,000 rounds with no failures of any kind. There are 3 trigger options: AS (Anti-Stress also known as Traditional DA/SA) is amazing. Roughly an 8lb. DA pull with ~4.5 lb short crisp SA. QA (Pre-cocked striker similar to Glock) I've only dry-fired one, but...

I Might only get one shot. Badguy Might choose to stop. Badguy Might suffer some form of actual tissue damage outside the bullet path. I'll grant you that Mr. Murphy is a devil, but that is an awful lot of Maybes. Maybe no matter what I'm shooting might bounce right off his skin...

This forum is browsed by hundreds of people who are new to firearms. Some of them are just buying their first gun for self defense. They look to sites like this for information about what to put in their gun, and why. The "handguns create grievous wounds" camp is going to have a lot of...

Okay, so if my 147gr. Subsonic Rangers average 14" penetration and .68" recovered diameter, what advantage would I get from a +P 147gr bullet? I might get some more 'pressure wave' effect (whatever that might entail). I might get a bit more expansion, but then I might get less. Yes that's...

How many deer have you shot with a handgun that you observed this effect in? A percentage would suffice. How many times when shooting a deer from hiding do you have to make quick followup shots? How many times was the deer holding a loaded weapon to shoot back with? How many times were...

Magic...er, I mean hydrostatic shock :neener: I know wounds outside the path of the bullet can happen, I just don't think they happen with any kind of consistency when talking about handguns. I realize a higher energy round may inflict more pain, but if I'm shooting it's to kill and kill...

2500 shootings in 2001 in ONE city? My friend, you need to move, because Bagdad is apparently safer. Wait a minute? Argentina? 3rd world skinny people? I've got a box of RCBD wonder rounds guaranteed to make your assailant unborn. My friend the Super Cop shot 300 people with it and they...
