    More balderdash from the NY Times: Oregon vs. NYC gun requirements

    Ha, ha. Yeah, pretty much. Funny how many antis forget that despite our total prohibition on cocaine it manages to find its way all the way here from Colombia. Funnier yet, cocaine is perishable so it has to be continuously replenished whereas a smuggled firearm can last a century. I...

    More balderdash from the NY Times: Oregon vs. NYC gun requirements

    The antis' rhetoric writes checks that their stats can't cash. According to the FBI's 2012 Uniform Crime Report: Population/murders/rate per 100000 people NYC: 8,289,415/419/5.1 Portland, OR: 598,037/20/3.3...

    New blockbuster anti-gun movie coming out

    Just feeds into the current gun control narrative: the US would be a violence-free utopia if it weren't for a shadowy, money-grubbing "gun lobby" that is somehow able to flood the streets with their evil wares.

    PSA vs. S&W M&P15, resale, and Desert Tan

    I believe that S&W still nitride-treats their M&P Sport barrels, they just stopped paying for the "Melonite" trademark. In their catalog they call it a "durable, corrosion-resistant finish".

    Steyr AUG, American-Made

    I have the A3 with the Vltor receiver and factory 1.5x "donut of death" scope (rail mounted, not integral). The trigger pull as received wasn't bad and improved considerably with the addition of a Neu-Trigger. Honestly, I have this rifle simply for the hell of it. It's an interesting...

    Korriphila HSP 701

    Holy crap! I've heard of these, but didn't think anyone actually had one! As with all the pieces in bc1023's collection, this is simply awesome. The closest I could get to this myself would be to find a Budischowsky TP-70. Same Budischowsky, "slightly" different gun.

    Sig out of jail

    Can't help you with the holster, but I add to the chorus saying the Sig Pro is just a terrific pistol. It's my favorite double stack SIG apart from the X-Five, and a fraction of the price.

    Indecision over a 9mm Colt 1911

    This is a timely thread, as I'm in the same dilemma. Wish I could get them all.

    Oregon bill to require background checks on private sales

    This is a model for the kind of editorials we should be writing--logical, passionate without being angry and, most of all, persuasive. Too often we get up in counterproductive sloganeering ("what part of 'shall not be infringed' don't you understand?!") rather than coming up with arguments...

    New Play Pretty in .357

    It'd be my favorite on looks alone. Beautiful!

    Beretta ARX 100 in 556 NATO design and wear at 500 rounds.

    Great pics, Briansmithwins. It's cool how the ARX100 breaks down into self contained modules. Lots of smart engineering. The captive anti-rotation "control pin" on the bolt carrier is pretty neat and seems simpler than the removable sleeve on the AUG bolt that does the same thing.

    Nice to still find a snub 686

    Very nice! Those factory combat grips are hard to find.

    Vepr12 Short Barrel Shotgun Trap/Skeet Shooting Video

    Nice V12! I've busted some clays with mine as well. It swings like a pig but gets the job done just fine.
