That remnds me. If I advertize as in the market for a used car, specify century and year.

Personally I would not want to carry in court. I have thought through the scenario of trying to retain my carry piece against a desperado or hot head in court should they try to take it.

These days some folks think .410 anything is a myth made up by old timers. When I took my MIL on a Sunday drive in the country in the late 1990s, I'd stop at a country store on the way and buy a box or two of these. They pattern closer from my .410 than the 3 inch 5 pellet 000 load. Which I...

You call that pulling a shot? I could feel the butt slip on my shoulder as I pulled off the third shot that landed at 8 o'clock in the 8 ring. I know that sick feeling all too well. That was my 100yd Benchrest Black Powder Cartridge match target. The buffalo was looking back at me with smirking...

I got my .357 handgun (Ruger Security Six stainless 4" barrel Hogue grips) because it has all the features you'd pay extra for in a .38 Spl target revolver. .357 out of my Rossi lever gun surprised me. From my pistol .357 158gr JSP splatted on my 3/8ths inch thick steel swinger. From the 20...

I use large pistol magnum primers in rifle cartridges in black powder (Goex, Swiss, Pyrodex, Triple7) loads only. I do not use large pistol magnum primers in smokeless powder loaded rifle cartridges. My son or grandson may inherit my rifles and ammo. Large Pistol primer cups are a little bit...

My son got a great deal on a ".380" Makarov. Yes some Makarovs were sold rebarreled for .380. The owner was up front and said the functioning was not perfect. Turned out this one was original 9x18mm Makarov caliber so yes .380 ACP was a sloppy fit. Shorter case. smaller diameter bullet. So-so...

It's been a while since I heard a Savage Model 6 called a "Gill Gun". Stepdad had one. Worked semiauto for .22 LR. You could push the steel bolt handle in to lock the bolt for short, long, long rifle. The "gill" vents helped reduce fouling build up around the bolt head in semi- auto mode.

I have two 5-shot J-fames and that's my practice too.

From the Wikipedia write up on the Makarov PM (which marches my limited experience wth my son's Makarov): "... After firing the last round, the slide is held back by the slide stop lever/ejector. ... After loading a fresh magazine, the slide can be released by pressing the lever on the left...

.45/70 lever gun I could use in Black Powder Cartridge matches and it would be as good a choice for stopping a bear attack as my current designated bear defense gun (12ga pump with slugs). 9mm Uzi in black powder could not knock down a steel ram silhouette target at 200 meters and would...

9 hangfires and one squib. Squib could be a case with little or no powder Hangfires indicate a different problem. I haven used current S&B primers for relloading but the S&B ammo always have fired for me. But all my guns leave serious firing pin indents.

Dusk to Dawn are good times to check "scope capabilities in low light..

Wild burros are not common here. Mostly I'd encounter something smaller, maybe rabid. Good thing for me. Since adult burros weigh 350 to 500 pounds, a gun suitable for burro defense would probably kick like a mule.

Buying a gun from a ffl to turn around and sell it 24 hours later, multiple times, looks to me like a clear case of engaging in the business without a license. I would expect to be on the radar if I did that, just from reading the 288 page guide to federal firearms regulations.

I have an Orion orange 12ga flare gun. With fired flares and fired mini shells reloaded with just 209 primers I have a blank gun.

In Tennessee the dealer contacts the State which has its own database of local wants and warrants and if you are clear, the State contacts the Federal NICS for final check.

The real results will be ordinary citizens facing the choice that ordinary citizens faced in Mexico: thread an onerously restricted legal market, give up or go to the black market bodegas that supply criminals.

My main expenditures over this winter have been buying reloading supplies and ammunition preparing for the black powder cartridge and military match seasons. My motivation is participation. Used to be competition.

The scuttlebutt is that when less toxic "green" primers were introduced for shooting in indoor ranges, small pistol was the first non- toxic primer offering. So cartridges that were originally large pistol primered started showing up with small pistol primers. I have a low end .45 ACP pistol...
