    Herters

    Somebody owns the name and I believe that's about all that's left.

    The sound of gunshot

    I'd look for a 10+ acre property that has Ag or Wildlife exemptions in place already or get ready to pay more property taxes if you are in a county anywhere near civilization. I see lots of "large house on 5-9 acres for sale" and I know why they are selling. I hear shooting most evenings, more...

    Things Not to Live By

    Good analogies. All the best coaches have played the actual game they are coaching. And the best music teachers, like a firearms instructor who hasn't used a gun offensively or defensively, went the safe (and perhaps smart way) and teach instead of put themselves in harms way, physically and/or...

    Which 9mm Pistols Would You Like To See In 32 acp?

    Seconded. 327/32H&R. I would tool up my reloading bench for that sort of gun. But not for that caliber until that gun exists. More compact 6-7-8 shot. Nothing says Glock like a revolver.

    Maybe, I'd have to look into it more, I'm unfamiliar with him. All you've said here tells me is that I should've taken coursework with his father or grandfather. My dad did taxes. If you want to pay me to do yours then make friends with the IRS in advance. But my dad did taxes. If I had my...

    Things Not to Live By

    I'm not sure what you meant here. I've never fired a gun before. I want training. How can someone select an instructor more carefully if they know zero, or little, about the subject matter? This was my point about there being many bad instructors giving bad info in a multitude of fields these...

    My new Shadow 2 came home with me today!

    Drop it off, winter is my slow season I'll get it nice and broke in for you. Really nice purchase man, an heirloom that shoots well!

    What would you regard as the minimum barrel length for a revolver for hunting deer?

    Said I. Just about everything they regulate is stupid. Masters of inefficiency.

    Awesome, but dumb.

    Most cops don't know jack about weapons. I'd be surprised if 10% of all LE could identify that and determine it was a firearm receiver at all. In some places, you're presumed a criminal with that thing. In Texas the cop will ask what kind of goodies you have in your AR or what you plan on...

    What a FFL dealer told me about the buying tendencies of older shooters...

    Jimmy Carter was president when I was born so I don't like guns or a good economy. I used to have some of everything,cowboy, milsurp, revolvers, etc but I caught an anti-materialism bug in my mid 30's and stripped down my rather small (compared to thr) collection to the absolute basics. Rifle...

    Put your Revolver Rants here!

    No rail. Please update a few revolver models for the 21st century so someone other than crusty old men will buy them. We've had tactical everything....except revolvers.

    Things Not to Live By

    A guy teaching sd stuff to others without having been in a gunfight is like taking boxing lessons from someone whose never been in a ring or music lessons from someone who has never played professionally. Theory and practice. Also, in my experience, most teachers just spread bad info these days...

    Carrying a gun with kids is hard - Gotta be careful!!!

    Or his holster broke or came undone accidentally or it was just foul play isn't enough actual info in the article for anyone to play say anything with certainty. All speculation.

    What's the best AK for the money right now?

    I ain't a hater I just want an affordable AK that isn't junk. Like it used to be. So hopefully PSA will deliver. WASRs used to be junk, now they are "combloc AK" and Century and potentially PSA is junk. Before WASR hate there were guys saying Polytechs and MAKs, a lot of the AK's floating around...

    100 years from now?

    I think the revolver market will come back around. A good revolver is like a Glock except with steel, style, and soul. I just want an accessory rail on a full underlug, a decent set of sights, and grips you can actually use with speedloaders.

    What's the best AK for the money right now?

    I don't think psa did as well there but they aren't saying, lol. Until psa gets their junk together they are selling you AK s cheap for range toys. If the chips were down I'd grab a wasr before a psa. I doubt psa will ever become sought after ak but I hope I'm wrong.

    Carrying a gun with kids is hard - Gotta be careful!!!

    There is a brief article and what happened isn't all that clear. Anything could've happened from intent to harm, negligence, a temporary lapse of judgement, or just an accident.

    What's the best AK for the money right now?

    I dispute the pure crap claim. A decent built wasr will do just about anything any other AK ever made will. Agreed. Vepr is about as nice an AK as you can find. But heavy. Iraqveteran8888 torture test of vepr gives a new meaning to true firearms reliability. They are unless you want barrier...

    What's the best AK for the money right now?

    The best deal was $999 bucks for a Sam-7 pistol but that deal is over now. They are in the $1100 range. The finish kinda sucks but it's an AK. If I was buying a serious AK brand new at this point it would likely be Arsenal or a good gunsmith kit build. Now is not a good time to decide you want...

    I like my .45s..............

    You carry a single action. I don't want to invite condemnation on myself from others by offering support and encouragement. You need a Glock. Or at least a Glock shirt. You see, that's actually not your belt that carries that gun, it's our belt, as gun owners, collectively. So we bear the...
