Bought a Crossbreed SuperTuck for an HK 45C. I was a bit shocked at how much play there is when the gun is holstered. The only other hybrid holster I've had was for my Glock 19 from White Hat Holsters. That holster fit my Glock like, well, like the kydex was made for it, because of course it...

I spent some time looking into concealed carry insurance and thought I'd share my conclusions with the community. I would love any corrections if I've misunderstood these companies' offerings. I'm not going to get into whether this insurance is a good or bad idea. You will have to decide that...

My handgun (HK 45 Compact) has Talon grips and they're a bit unpleasant when rubbing up against my skin all day. Looking for an IWB holster that has leather which fully covers the entire grip. An example: https://n8tactical.com/product/ot2-iwb-concealed-carry-holster/ Would like to consider...

I got a cheap Teslong borescope as a gift. Pics aren't great but it was interesting to stick it down some of my milsurps. I'm not entirely certain what I'm looking at, though. Click on pics for bigger versions. Here's a shot from a Yugo 24-47 that was rechambered for .308. I include it only...

In a few years, my wife and I are planning to retire, sell the house, and go on the road full-time in an RV. Hopefully we'll be RVing for many years before we become decrepit and need to settle down. We're leaning towards a fifth wheel trailer. Our voyages will take us over 49 states and...

Looking to pick up a .308 bolt-action hunting rifle. This will be for deer and also for target shooting (I'm weird - I like to shoot at paper with a rifle). I'd prefer something that's well-built and rugged...hoping this will be a rifle that takes me into my golden (har!) years. I am very...

For years, the most threatening thing I've seen in woods in which I regularly hike have been deer and rabbits. Recently I've seen both coyotes and bobcats. Fortunately both seemed rather scared of me and scampered off. But it did get me thinking...would the Glock G19 (9mm) I carry be...

I've had two GunVault safes (both the mini and the multi) and both have had the same issue: unreliability. I'd say about 20% of the time, they fail to open on the first try. Usually they open on the second, but sometimes it takes three or four tries (by which I mean entering the code)...

I got a deal on some Lee case lube and now have 10 tubes of the stuff. Probably should have asked before I bought but...is it good stuff? I know Imperial is highly regarded. I mostly reload middleweight rifle...308 Win, 8mm Mauser, 7.5 Swiss, etc.

My wife always rolls her eyes when one of those NRA sweepstakes envelopes comes around. I spend way too much time optimizing my list of firearms I will receive if I win one of the prizes. I'm wondering if any THRers ever won anything from one of those sweepstakes?

Pic 27 of this gallery: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/01/the-conflict-in-mali/100446/ That was taken in Mali. I was curious and looked up Guntec - apparently they sell AK/AR parts and are based in Arizona. How would a box of their stuff end up in the African desert? It...

I was reading Lee's "Modern Reloading" today. I's not the greatest book and parts are nonstop advertising, but I have learned some things from it. One thing that it says is that a well-oiled chamber or a brass case with lube still on it may cause difficulties in extraction. Why is that...

I read not long ago that there are a variety of brass that can be trimmed to form 308 cases - for example, .243, .270, 7x57, .30-06, etc. Here is the article: http://voices.yahoo.com/building-marlin-lever-action-308-survival-rifle-2294802.html?cat=7 I've never done that - I just reload...

I'm wondering if anyone would care to update this old post from 2004: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-88331.html I'm in much the same spot. I'd like a .308 Win rifle with ruggedness as the primary feature. I'd like iron sights on it, as I don't plan to scope it. I don't...

I sometimes read remarks in reloading manuals or "Cartridges of the World"-type books about how a certain caliber is the second or third most common caliber. But I've never seen stats. Just curiosity on my part. By common I mean rifles that exist that shoot that caliber in the U.S., not...

I have an RCBS RangeMaster electronic scale, but I'd like to get a non-electronic as a backup. Unfortunately, the reviews I've read of the RCBS balance scale were awful. I've read that a lot about RCBS lately - that their quality has gone down since they moved production to China. The Lee...

I noticed RCBS's current rebate promo is 100 free Speer bullets if you spend $50, 500 free Speer bullets if you spend $300. Or $10/$50 cash. http://media.midwayusa.com/pdf/coupons/RCBS_Bucks_or_Bullets_Rebate_2013.pdf Five boxes of Speer 2026 Grand Slam at about $25 each is not too...

I have a high quality gun safe where I store my guns and mags. To make it heavier, I also store bullets I use for reloading. I've been told that storing ammo, primers, and gunpowder inside is not a good idea. So...where to store those? Buying another full-sized gun safe really isn't an...

I need new muffs and thought I might look if there's something out there that is better than my usual "swing by Wal-mart" plan. I usually wear both plugs and muffs. I shoot exclusively outdoors and the loudest gun I shoot is my Mosin-Nagant. I know there are electronic muffs out there...

I have a couple Mosin-Nagants and I like 7.62x54R - similar to 308 in power and about the cheapest surplus ammo you can buy. Of course, you can find pretty good reloadable domestic manufacture, too. Unfortunately, the only thing I have that shoots it is old Mosin-Nagants. Not that I mind...
