    Flying with handguns please share TSA experience and advice

    Is ammo in same case or different case? Can the pelican case go back into a checked bag once I’ve shown it to them?

    Flying with handguns please share TSA experience and advice

    In late June I’m flying to an area where I’d like to bring a handgun or two. Looking for any helpful advice on how to do this as hassle free as possible. Please share your experiences on how to make sure I do this the right way. I’ve checked out the TSA website and that of my airline (Delta)...

    Best caliber for small to medium-small game and for Target.

    .243 Low recoil, available in wide variety of rifles, and ammo is available everywhere. And the best long range rifle shooter in the US uses it for 1,000 yard competitions so it must be ok for long rang shots.

    How do you keep from ripping skin off with +p ammo and a 442?

    I've always worked out a lot and had a good grip, but when I started competing in kettlebell sport, it had a drastic effect on my grip strength. After that, shooting +p loads out of my 37-2 with stock grips got to be really really easy. No problems at all shooting a few boxes of +p. Try working...

    Why are .38 wadcutters not considered a good carry load?

    I'm sure it has happened, but i've never witnessed a hp bullet fired from a handgun expand. Don't know how many autopsies I've seen, but its a lot. I noticed this and asked some of the ME's who conduct autopsies on gun shot wounds every week if they have ever seen a handgun round that expanded...

    22LR confession

    Best levers are the Browning BL-22 and the Marlin 39 series. The Browning has superb balance and shoots very well off-hand. The lever stroke is shorter than any other levergun I have tried. it oozes quality. But the sights are made for young eyes and it doesn't have as many after-market...

    First handgun

    Save a little longer until you have about $300 or so. In the meantime, shop around and compare the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger MK series. Buy the one you prefer. Ammo will be cheap as dirt compared to centerfire ammo. Save your money towards a good centerfire gun for defense while you are...

    Has the 115gr fallen out of favor?

    And the question remains, do YOU think the 115gr has fallen "out of favor", however you define that. I contend it is likely the most oft purchased but for practice. I believe, perhaps errantly, that LE in general has long ago embraced heavier bullets or moved on to the next big thing, 40 S&W. I...

    Has the 115gr fallen out of favor?

    So you don't have any relevent data? That renders your statement as unsubstantiated, hyperbole, or just hearsay. LOL. When I'm looking at a dead man's wound channel before I prosecute his killer for murder, its not unsubstaniated, or hyperpole, or hearsay. When I go over the cause of death...

    Has the 115gr fallen out of favor?

    Going by the homicide cases I worked on in a major city, and many shootings some friends of mine worked on. Performed just like .357 125gr.

    Has the 115gr fallen out of favor?

    The bple and other 115gr +p+ ammos are some of the best sd ammo you can buy. They perform better in real life than they do on paper. In real shootings they perform similar to the classic .357 125gr load.

    Plz help me decide which .44 mag to purchase

    The Rugers handle recoil much better. I'd get the 4" Redhawk.

    S&w j 38 special vs sig p232

    j-frame better for pocket carry, fires a more potent round. 158gr +p FBI load will solve almost any SD problem. P230/p232 can be pocket carried but shows more if you are wearing a suit. Still easy to conceal. More shots but less power than the 38. I'd carry the corbon 90gr load in it. I favor...

    Uncles Mikes or Desantis work great.
