Proper lighting is paramount. Get some desk lamps and make sure your subject has LOTS of light falling on it. If the lighting is too harsh for your tastes, diffuse it by placing a sheet of translucent white plastic (a cut-up milk jug works well for smaller pieces), or tissue paper over the...

Not worthy of Nagata-San, but since I got my new digital camera, I've been on a Windows wallpaper-making kick. All are 1280X1024 in resolution. Here are some of the results: S&W 5906 TSW Glock 17 Glock 26 And finally, my favorite work to date: Kimber Tac Pro II Unfortunately...

At least one of my students has been able to put an answer to this question, at least for himself. He had never fired a gun before and the only exposure he had to them up to that point had been what he'd seen on TV and in the movies. We all know how movies overdo the effects of recoil and the...

30 round limit on magazines is correct. According to the ORC, any ammunition feeding device with a capacity of over 30 rounds is considered a machine gun or dangerous ordnance or some nonsense like that. I ran into this when looking to purchase a Beta-C mag for my AR. Can't find them for sale n...

I wonder why your instructors in your training course never bothered to tell you about the license expiration. I also wonder what ELSE they forgot to tell you... ;) If you read the actual law, you will see that you must present a "competency certification" which would be your certificate of...

To add to what Pax stated, women also have a different center of gravity than men do. Theirs is generally centered around their hips where on us men it's up around the shoulders. This allows them to hold a handgun more steady than a man in most women I've taught. To extrapolate, it's then easier...

I would vote for the HK USP, simply because it was designed from the start for the .40 S&W cartridge. All the other calibers available in that model were offshoots of the .40 model. I had an XD40 and wasn't convinced that it was the ideal platform for the cartridge. I never had any issues...

Process of elimination. If the tolerances are tight, and the gun hasn't fired out of battery, and the shooter hasn't been shooting lead bullets and the gun has been functioning perfectly up until now aqnd has been properly maintained, the only thing left would be an overpressure round or a bad...

jc2, your information about Glocks and their "loose tolerances" is inaccurate. A Glock will fire out of battery? That's news to me. Yes, Glocks do not have a "fully supported chamber". This means absolutely nothing. If you're using new factory ammo (as per the instructions) there is NO...

First off, you'd be hard pressed to find any accounts of a Glock .40 blowing up with factory ammo. Not to say it NEVER happens, but not very often. Generally it will happen if you shoot thousands of rounds of lead bullets (a no-no in a polygonally rifled barrel) and never clean it. Or, if you...

Why? Because Sarah Brady said he did? You believe everything she says? Her AND Katie Couric?

Yep, I also am quite certain that all 870 accessories will fit an 870. Don't have many (actually ANY) used ones around here. The 870HD is hard to get. One Marine Magnum in the shop but it's price was making me hesitant. I've already bought the Escort, just waiting for NICS to clear, but...

Tops on my "Gotta Have" list is a Benelli M4 or similar shotgun. Until such time as I can afford one comfortably, I thought I might fill the gap in my collection where a shotgun should be (I currently have none :(). Enter the Escort. Made by Hatsan in Turkey and imported by Legacy, I (and my...

When I bought my XD40 there was a coupon from Springfield in the case for 15 round 9mm magazines for the XD9, NOS direct from them. They were like $39 apiece with a limit of three or four. I didn't use it because I had a .40, but if you look in the case at the included paperwork before you buy...

The firing pin protruding from the hole after dry-firing a Glock is 100 percent NORMAL. In a normal firing, the cycling of the slide will reset the the firing pin back into the proper position in it's channel. There is also no danger of a "slam fire" or anything like that. The reason it...

Actually, depending on your area, you may find one of you look hard enough.

IMHO, get the Glock. Don't look back. I might consider the G26 if you're used to 9mm though. I had a 27 and currently carry a 23, but it's always nice to have multiple pistols but common ammo. You could also go the route of buying the 27 and later getting a Bar-Sto 9mm conversion barrel for...

Wow. Sig has come out of the closet...

Maybe he should go for a ride in the car with his colleague. :evil: I dunno yet, that's a good question. I'll let everyone know after I shoot it.

Why do women wear sexy underwear if nobody can see it? Could there be a similarity???? Hmmmmm.....
