Just recently had to deal with Real-Self-Defense customer service and wanted folks to know how it went. About 4-1/2 years ago I bought one of the premium model unbreakable umbrellas. They have a 5-year warranty. I gave it to my wife and it has had plenty of use as we live in the Pacific...

So.... I bought a bunch of ammo from a friend the other day who acquired them through a marriage. The new spouse's previous (deceased) husband was very into guns and an avid reloader. Included in the batch I bought were quite a few .45 Colt rounds, some new, some reloads. The reloads are...

Okay, this may not be the proper forum but it's a place to start. I have a Winchester 1873 to ship and find the BATF regs confusing/contradictory (imagine that). Maybe I'm just slow. But - I DO NOT want to do the wrong thing when shipping something that goes bang. I thought I needed a...

A friend gave me a really nice Colt SAA clone and asked if I could identify the maker for him. It's a very slick, well-made revolver. The numbers are in all the right places just like on an actual Colt SAA. But nowhere on any potion of this gun is there any clue as to who or where it was...

Looking for opinions and input - all kinds. I've just gotten hold of a S&W Model 625 Mountain gun in 45 Colt. It's a beauty! A 625-6 made in 1997. Am pondering/considering whether to get the cylinder machined to allow it to use 45 ACP with moon clips in addition to the 45 Colt cartridge...

.... a really remarkable stick made by Eric Draven. Just got this the other day and cannot be too extravagant with my praise for it! Eric makes these in shorter pairs for more conventional escrima type use. I saw the pictures of some he had on hand and just had to have my own. Mine was a...

A hundred years ago, I used to reload for pistol and rifle (seems like that long, maybe only a quarter of that - maybe). I quit, sold everything and in the interim forgot almost everything I knew about the subject/process. I'm getting back into it and have a question regarding .308...

The title says (asks?) it all folks. Does anybody know if the State of NJ allows this firearm within its highly regulated borders? They appear to be tightly restricted on almost everything. Man I'm glad I don't live there.

Is this activism? I don't know. Had a bit of time on my hands and cobbled something together for my amusement. Profuse apologies if I transgress..... :)

Awright, looking for informed input here. And please don't suggest I use the search function. Been there, done that, gleaned some useful and some not so useful info from it. This is my question and I hope to get some input from those who know. Scenario: My local boy's toys store has said...

Not exactly gun related, but close. And might help someone, someday. Not that anyone here would be this careless. Moral of the story: Don't play with old munitions, boys and girls. If the thread isn't appropriate or relevant, I'm sure it'll be dealt with accordingly. :( From the...

On a whim I bought a Smith & Wesson Thunder Ranch Model 21 about.. oh a year or so ago from CDNN. The price was right, so what the heck. For some reason I just couldn't get around to shooting it until now. Didn't feel really motivated or interested I guess. Now before we go any further -...

I can't find it listed on the ATF website's lists. It's a variant of the Model 1890 (I believe) which is listed, but can't find a specific reference to the Model 90. Anybody know? :confused:

Okay, here’s the deal. Generally, I despise “what-if scenario” threads. Anybody with an IQ even nominally above the average room temperature in an igloo knows that there are just far too many variables attached to almost any scenario for a person to sit comfortably at their computer and reply...

First off - I mean the kind you read and drool over, not the kind you insert into your firearm. :) I've been doing some cleaning around my house and many found stacks of gun magazines that I read and enjoyed, now they're mostly so much clutter to me. I figure our soldiers stationed...

Just recently got a new Vector AK. Like all the AK types I've encountered, the stock is just a tad short for my long arms. It just doesn't pull right. Everything else about the rifle is top notch. Does anyone know of a source for longer stocks, or maybe for the spiffy 6 position ones...

Here's an issue I'm very curious about. And I'm not making any judgements here or offering advice. I guess I'm mostly thinking out loud and want to see if it resonates. Many/most of the people who come to this board own firearms. Most of them state that they would use their firearms in the...

First and foremost - not looking to start a brand name war here, just looking for some good input..... :) I used to reload using a Dillon 450. That was probably about 20 years ago. Then I quit competing in IPSC and sold all of my gear. I'm shooting more now and want to get back into...

I'm considering a Model 686 with this particular finish. Question is - does anybody have any experience with its overall ability to stay looking good with reasonable use and care? I think Smith only offered it for a short time and I was wondering if it was simply from lack of interest, or...

For all practical purposes - is there any? Would you choose one over the other if the condition of each was equal? If so, why? I've been hankering for a Model 18 (hankering... does that word date me?) but haven't had a lot of luck. Might have a line on a Model 17 so I came to where the...
