Well, I've been interested in getting a little .22lr rifle for plinking and working on my rifleman skills. I had a very nice Remington pump .22 that my dad got me as a kid, but he let it get all rusted and I'm embarrassed to take it out in public until I can get it refinished. So there I was...

I'm as big a fan of Jack Bauer and the series as anyone. One of my bad habits with any tv show or movie is to try and learn something. Even if it's what NOT to do, I think that everything out there can teach us something. And, yes, it annoys those watching the show with me or hearing my...

I wasn't sure if this was the best venue, but traffic seems to be higher here, and it is for a rifle.... Anyone here tried the Burris XTS red-dot? I'm curious about it considering that the Aimpoint it is designed after is around twice the price. Use: range and home defense - mounted on...

http://www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_id=51208&f_id=1192 This cop definitely had his work cut out for him. The audio isn't in english, but this guy's moves are definitely worth studying. Smooth Operator!

A guy at work showed me a small pocket-sized revolver he'd just picked up in an auction. It's the weirdest design I've ever come across and was wondering what the pool of wisdom here might have to say about it. On the bottom of the grip frame, it says, "Omega HS 300" With a serial number, I...

Just back from some testing on my new-to-me 75B. My club's short pistol range is only 50', but that's plenty far for my eyes and rather realistic in terms of predictable combat distance. My target was a super-cool display backing I snagged from a Belk's trash dumpster after the holiday spree...

Having just acquired a CZ 75B for use on the job, I have been searching long and hard for accessories that will make it function better. My number one grievance has been the lack of slam pads (bumper pads) for the stock magazines. The two MecGar mags that I've since purchased are great...

Long story short, the upper echelon decided that single-action weapons were too dangerous. I can't carry my Yost 1991 anymore (convenient because I had just placed another order with Ted!), so I started looking for other options. When it comes to a duty pistol, I don't put price high on the...

Just browsing through the forum and came across this link http://www.mwgco.com/ Got me wondering if such a stock was ever available for the Marlin Camp 45, which I have. If it was a viable design, it might make picking up a C-9 worthwhile. Anyone ever try one out? Good stuff? Why am I...

http://www.canadas-best.com/images/ISRPM_clipDSL.wmv Check this video clip out. While the editing is great and the soundtrack is phenom, pay attention to how fast the scenarios play out and how easily some of the participants are distracted so Tango2 can move in from behind. The 21'...

I'm trying to compile a fact sheet that compares the Glock to the 1911/1991 type weapon. The reason being that work allows one but not the other, now, and I'm curious to see how far apart they really are. What is the stock length of trigger travel on a NIB Glock? On a Colt 1991? What is...

I just got the Dillon catalog and noted, with interest, the ScotteVest-Jacket that they were touting as better than the 5.11 vest. I was curious, so I did some websurfing and came up with their website, where I found that they offer far more than just a jacket. Very cool website and I think...

I've been moaning and groaning about not having anywhere to get more pistol training, places that didn't cost and arm/leg or require long time off, and the whole time, these guys are just right around the corner. www.spartansc.com Any thoughts? Website looks good/professional, and the...

A thread on the warriortalk forum just popped up regarding this pistol. Seems that the loaded chamber indicator can detonate the round loaded in the chamber if the pistol is dropped on a hard surface, impacting the indicator and driving it into the rim of the cartridge. I haven't tried...

Yup, I finally got one of those great deals that I always hear others talking about. The mgr at one of my stops decided to trade up from a Keltec .380 to something different (like he was changing socks!) and I mentioned that I would be interested. On P3AT, a few boxes of ammo, all the...

I've been carrying my Colt 1991A1 on the job for about three years with nary a problem. Well, in comes the Security Auditor and he tells me I can't carry a single-action weapon, period. This is news to us all as the Approved Weapons List clearly greenlights this Make and Model. I ask for...

When my company first decided to send me to Charlotte to go through their licensing program, I was very happy for the chance at more training. As I see it, more training means more professionalism, and I like that idea very much. I was also made aware, in the class, that there were several...

I've often seen Siggie Freud quoted as saying something to the affect that the fear of firearms was a sign of "sexual immaturity", but I can't figure out what he means from that single, out-of-context quote. Can anyone elaborate? I understand that fearing a tool, which a firearm is, would...

All that talk about the TruckVault system ( www.truckvault.com ) had me wanting one pretty bad. I just can't afford it, especially when I might be getting rid of my current ride in not too long. When I saw this in the catalog, I thought it might be a serviceable solution to the problem of...

My brother has fallen in love with his Duluth Trading "Firehose" pants, with their volumnuous thigh pockets and expressed some interest in some way of organizing his daily carry gear. When I pointed him to the Spec-Ops BDU organizer, he thought it was the cat's meow. What we don't know is if...
