    HOW MANY ROUNDS DO YOU REALLY NEED ?

    Many years ago FBI was outgunned by the bad guys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout I have participated in drills with an instructor. If i on;y have 5 I empty 5. i never empty 12 or more rounds. I go for center of mass and that is that. As far as his friend what if he...

    HOW MANY ROUNDS DO YOU REALLY NEED ?

    I have several defensive handguns which I rotate. I carry every day and practice frequently be the gun SA/DA , DAO or SA. I am as comfortable with my 360 PD as I am with my Ruger 45. Of course frequently the question arises among friends, "how many rounds does it hold?" My personal opinion...

    Maximum point blank range

    RC: Got it. So you estimate ranges without finder? I suppose practice is key. I like the MPBR idea. I have buddies who do not shoot bullseye just fun and they get crazy with their estimates, holdovers, bullet drifts etc. One guy has a wind meter I think it is called a kestral to calculate...

    Maximum point blank range

    QUOTE: Not true. I have used that sighting-in method for most of my life. Never oowned a Tackycool scope with tall dials you fiddle & diddle with every shot. Most game animals will be in the next county while you are still counting "clicks". It has worked for me on coyotes at 500+ yards, crows...

    .17 hmr

    I am looking to get into "plinking" and am searching for a good round. I'm thinking .17 HMR as opposed to WMR. I believe the HMR has flatter trajectory. Not looking to pick off squirrels or other game just shooting at metal targets etc for fun around the farm. Distance would be a couple of...

    Bump Fire

    Recently read about bump fire and the after market stocks that allow this. I know it is pointless but I actually enjoy it on rare occasions. I'm working on the gun trust and stamp so this is it for now. I have not bought any after market stock just a loose hold on the AR. Question: is...

    Fire protection: yeah or nay

    Your homeowners probably won't cover them. You need a rider for them, a separate policy basically. I see. Can't be too expensive. No collectible stuff. So even with the fire protection I'm SOL if guns fry if no rider.Correct?

    Fire protection: yeah or nay

    I decided on a Sturdy safe. I'm going large 48x24x60. Will be located on an outside corner of an add on closet. Concrete floor single story home. Wood frame with studs. Bolted down with the right hand side against the wall. This will make ax attacks real difficult unless a BG happens to...
