In looking for a handy do-all cartridge I keep coming back to quarter-bore choices. Calibres up to .243 don't strike me as optimal for medium game or serious target shooting, and over .264/6.5mm are too much for varminting and informal practice plinking. So I'm trying to figure out which .25...

Saiga's are purportedly outstanding quality AKs, made for use as a practical and handy sporter. Yes you can convert them to a standard AK pattern and end up with a higher quality AK for less (at least until recently), but as-is they are still good and practical weapons. I've shot one in...

Well, as you've figured out by now the most important buying/selling consideration for any gun is practicality. Obviously you don't get much chance for rifle shooting, so why spend the money trying to turn an inexpensive utility rifle (which is what the NEF is) into something it's not? It...

If you're willing to spend just a little bit more, you can get a REAL Sig in .22lr --- Sig Sauer has started making the P220, the P226, and P229 in .22lr. And unless I'm mistaken, I believe the guns come with a certificate to get a discount on a factory-direct slide assembly, so you can make it...

I think I'm locked into Sig at this point. But now I'm questioning which one. I keep seeing prices on the SigPro (2022) that are very tempting... there were also whispers that it's being phased out because Sig wants to promote their new P250, which I am not crazy about. It's not at all like...

I read both. I'm not meaning to be sound nitpicky here, but I read through research papers all day long in Psychology. Those have no data at all. The first one was a brief book review where people critiqued the research methods of a particular study. Attacking one study doesn't qualify as...

I would practice with the gun to the point I felt completely competent with it, but another factor I forgot to mention is that it would spend most of its time locked up, maybe even for long periods. I can get very busy for long stretches, and sometimes travel out of country. The Sig's simpler...

I'm not speaking strictly of incapacitating physical function. Humans are very sensitive to nervous shock, and it's easy to disrupt to disrupt motor function and cause disorientation, more than enough to take the fight out of them. Unless you need to stop somebody who is on a substance that...

I'm going to go shop around for a mid-size 9mm. From my limited experience with combat-style pistols, I like the handling of these two the best. I'm told the P99 has excellent accuracy. I know the Sig P series are among the most solid pistols out there. These two are in the same price...

I've never run the different types for comparison but my neighbour reloads for his .45 ACP and says part of the reason he doesn't cast his own bullets is because he thinks it affects the load. Plus he's rich as hell, he doesn't care about buying premium bullets, and he reloads as a hobby not to...

.224 BOZ --- period. Close behind: - 4.6x30mm HK (the weapons aren't for sale yet, but I've seen the ammo) - 5.7x28mm FN - Hotrod necked-down cartridges like the Dillon, already mentioned For common combat pistols that you could actually find at a store and get factory ammo for, my...

I hate you! :neener: That thing is immaculate, I'd half expect to see the factory tape and tags on it. That is my dream gun, exactly. Especially without the rails. You're lucky. If they weren't $750 new, I would have gotten one long ago. As it sits, I'm just trying to find a Sig Pro for...

Are you planning on crawling in his ear and beating him in the brain with the butt of your gun? The review didn't say where the bullet hit. Head, neck, or along the spine, then sure I can see that. The review also didn't say the size of the boar. It could have been a juvenile. It may...
