    IMR Data Center Loads Too Hot for 45-70 Trapdoor?

    Trapdoor Load Speedo, Try 29.5 gr of Hodgdon 4198, CCI 250 primer and a 405 gr SWC. Stuff half a cotton ball on top of the powder and shoot away. A friend turned me on to this load and I now shoot it in all my trapdoors. It falls in at around 15400 CUPs, about half of the 25000 max for a...

    best budget 1911

    Budget 1911 For 5 and some change you can't go wrong with the Taurus PT 1911. I have purchased two, one stainless and one blued. They come with all the bells and whistles of a high dollar 1911 for half the price. I have put over 1000 rounds through both pistols with no complaints. And you gotta...

    Home defense firearm ideas for elderly woman

    What does she want? My Gram is 86 and still a ball of fire. She requested a new lever gun. She grew up with model 94s and hunted with them her whole life. My dad bought her a Winchester Trapper in .44 Mag, handloaded some light loads, threw a Tac-Star light on the tube and she loves it. Besides...

    Opinions please (First AR15)

    NO! Sorry, took me a minute to see that there was a page 2. The fastest way to destroy a good shooter is use STEEL cased wolf ammo. Any reputable rifle manufacturer will tell you the same thing. For just a weeee bit more you can purchase quality ammo at a great price. For plinking, I watch for...

    Glock Perfection. Uhhh...

    Karz, I would hate to think that I'm "lazy and stupid" but still possessed the unforseen power to read your blog and understand it. Anyway, I got it. I suppose, if the officer in the article had used a 1911 we could have misconstrued every point given in its defense and had us a old fashioned...

    Glock Perfection. Uhhh...

    :cuss: Articles like this REALLY sadden me. There are those who view the Glock pistol as "unsafe" due to the fact there is no external manually operated safety. The Glock Pistol does have a external safety, the trigger safety, coupled with the firing pin safety and the drop safety.....thats...

    Good Range Bag?

    Check out Galls, they supply police and fire equipment. I purchased one of the police duty gear bags. This bag is hella stout, tons of room with large zippered pockets and dividers. Cost was about 50 bucks and they make great range bags! Ten Bears

    11-87 Police price check

    450 is a great price for a police 11-87. Yes, most look rough on the outside from being carried in the gun locks in the front of cruisers, or banging around in the trunk. This is commonly referred to as "duty wear". The fact is, these guns are packed around and banged around but only shot three...

    A Good CCW Idea ?

    Well, not trying to offend, just being honest. Tell him to check his local and state laws prior to making a copy of his permit. Second, there are other options to concealed carry that will hide a weapon better than hooking a large laminated card to your holster. Third, pulling the permit...
