I know this may be way out there. But, could a pistol feasibly be made with two magazines? What I'm imagining is something like a 9mm pistol with two side by side single stack magazines. You would be able to shoot until one was empty and it would switch over automatically to the other. Then you...

I inherited this years ago but just now getting around to trying it out. Partly because the ammo costs a lot, and I figured the recoil would be too hard to really have much fun shooting it. It's about 50 years old, I believe, and the barrel is stamped 336RC. My eyes aren't so good for the iron...

I was thinking about two recent events: 1) Local event: Two men, one with a knife, the other with a rifle, held up a convenience store. Took some loot and left, no one was injured. http://www.norwichbulletin.com/article/20150716/NEWS/150719652 2) In Detroit a gang of guys robbed a...

Got a Mini 14 (Ranch, stainless), my first. Never shot one before, but since I had a spare 30 minutes yesterday gotta try it out. I have the two five round magazines that came with it, and I bought a ruger 10 round magazine. That's the biggest that's legal in CT. :( I'm all alone at the...

This weekend my wife and I were touring historical places in MA. While we were visiting famous gravesites in Concord, we came across Captain Artemas Wheeler's headstone who was credited with the first satisfactory design of a revolving cylinder for a gun. :cool: Excerpt from "Guns and...

I was reading about that Phiily mom who was arrested in NJ for having a Bersa .380 pistol that was legal for her in PA. She was charged also for bullets that are illegal in NJ: One article says "armor penetrating" and another says "hollow point" Aren't they two different things...

From this article: http://ridgefield.patch.com/groups/politics-and-elections/p/on-ct-gun-law-anniversary-praise-and-criticism I've never heard of permits being revoked for DWI. Is that typical? Maybe there were other circumstances, but no way of knowing.

If you live in a state with freedom, consider buying a gun that made the ban list in CT just because you can. Make them as commonplace as possible.

I was reading this rabid anti gun editorial in the Hartford Courant linked below. It contained the quoted sentence. My question is, is it legal for the state to use the background check database they mention for the purpose they are suggesting...

The numbers as stated on the news were: 50,016 AWs registered and 38,290 HCMs declared. That was different than I expected, I expected a huge number for HCMs. It seems like you would get as a minimum the same number, since I assumed that most people that have EBRs also have HCMs. I would...

http://tbo.com/list/columns-tjackson/jackson-gun-owner-unarmed-unwelcome-in-maryland-20140112/ I couldn't find more information on the above story. Does anyone know about it? Some really weird aspects: - It sounds like the LEO was trying to pull them over, no reason given - He was...

Just curious, since I was shooting the ROA for the first time. I really don't have a sense for how big and fast the ball is traveling, what kind of energy, etc. I was using 25 grain charges, and there really wasn't much recoil, so it didn't feel like I was shooting anything very big or...

Finally got out to the range with it today. Of course, I felt like I was all thumbs loading it the first time. Spilling powder, fumbling the teensy caps. I'm loading it thinking...is this really gonna work? I was almost surprised:eek: when it worked the first time. I have to say it was...

I was shooting my Marlin .22 and found that there doesn't seem to be any way to keep the bolt open when you clear it. Ended up having to violate the action open rule when I was going downrange to my target stand. I don't have an owner's manual. So I found one online that says you can lock the...

OK, so much for the surge in new rimfire AR-15s in CT I had previously predicted.:( This was snuck through the legislature, I didn't even hear about it until this morning. Of course you can still buy AR-15 style 22's, they just can only have one scary feature like before...

Is the lack due to insufficient market? I can understand this, .22lr is cheap and .223 is as cheap or cheaper and more powerful, so why bother with a .22WMR AR-15. Or is this an engineering issue inherent in the rifle design mixed with the cartridge? I was wondering, because as I brought...

I had a gun store clerk that kept on correcting me on what I wanted. I asked for ".22 magnum" for my Ruger Single Six. He said, " We have no .22 magnum, just .22 WMR." So I said, "That's actually what I want, .22WMR" Then he says, "No, .22 WMR is not the same thing" So I said, "Fine, I...

Went into the bowels of my gun locker last week and pulled out my black powder revolver. I haven't ever done this yet, but I've meant to get around to it, so I inventoried my supplies last week. I've got a revolver. I've got powder flasks, a measuring tool, a neat suede bag with fringes...

I have this old rifle, no manual. Been sitting in my gun locker for a while and I want to start using it finally. It's a Marlin 336 RC .35 Rem. It's was a free hand me down, hasn't been used in a while obviously. It's in good condition mechanically, although the wood is well worn and there is...

I notice that Springfield makes a 10 round magazine that fits my XD9. I assume that is to make them legal in CA, and now I would have to buy them here in CT as well. There's a company that makes a block to convert my XD9 16 rounders to 10 rounds. Is this a legal way to convert a standard...
