    So what gun do you want back?

    Grandad's little .32 Browning that Grandma turned over to the cops when Grandad died.:( Hell, I want all of the ones I sold back, unless it was one of the ones I sold because it was a POS.

    What causes a failure to fire?

    Causes could include: Firing pin spring too stiff Primer seated too deep A burr or such in the firing pin channel slowing or otherwise obstructing the pin Wrong firing pin (too short) Firing pin not returning all the way (meaning the hammer can't hit it properly) That's all I can think...

    Pocket Carry Poll

    I've got the Bersa Thunder and the P3AT. P3AT wins the (pants) pocket carry battle between the two of them, for me anyway. The Bersa does pretty well in a larger coat pocket, but then so does some of my other stuff. Don't get my wrong, though, I like the Bersa. For the price it's well...

    New Springfield GI 1911 - Range Report

    I have one, too (SA GI). I had to file just a hair off one side of the firing pin stop to get it to function. Got about 1500 rounds through it so far, no other problems. Mine is a "knocking around in the boonies don't mind if it gets dinged up" type gun. PS, almost forgot, mine...

    I use a capful of NuFinish car wax every time I tumble brass. Brass comes come out sparkling.

    High anxiety: school shootings, chaos, and the media

    Re: High anxiety: school shootings, chaos, and the media Is it just me, or does this stuff always ramp up sharply as election time draws near? Is it just the leftist media reporting more of this stuff prior to elections? Or is it time for the tin foil?

    Solicitors and uninvited house "visitors"

    Yep. Ears half way up, intent stare, weight forward, tail down. I'd be asking permission, too.:cool: Looks like Scout is going to be a big 'un, too. That left rear paw looks mighty large.

    Range Report: Taurus PT-1911

    Thanks for the report. I have been looking for one and have yet to find one. Unfortunately, right now I have "AK-underfolder-feveritis" that I will have to treat before it becomes terminal, so the PT1911 is on the back burner, for now.

    Why so much hostility towards "tactical"

    Tactical is overused. Few folks anymore seem to associate tactical with tactics. They seem to think because they have the uber (and I am getting sick of uber, used facetiously or not, too) "tactical coffee mug" they are Rambo. I am willing to bet the folks who buy all the tactical crap out...

    Attn: Wal-Mart shoppers

    That's one of the reasons why I deal with the "little guys". However, if the "little guys" expect me to pay MSRP, I have no problem going elsewhere.

    Ask a Bounty Hunter

    Not clear on something here. My understanding is that a bench warrant allows for the arrest of a person on sight. Nothing more, nothing less. A search warrant allows for the search and seizure of evidence related to criminal offense, including arresting said criminal. So, is it true...

    Guns and Ammo?

    Shotgun News and American Rifleman are the only ones I bother with anymore. I am sick of hearing "This is the best CCW piece ever", until next month.:rolleyes:

    NEVER EVER, EVER GO INTO A GUN SHOP JUST ON A WHIM!!!

    I know exactly what you mean. I went to the local range to get in a little shooting one night. The guy behind the counter said "If you wait 15 minutes, it'll be 20:00 and you can shoot for half price." So I looked at stuff in the case and in the racks for 15 minutes. Went home with a...
