    Am looking to buy a Streamlight TLR-1 HPL

    Particularly off Gunbroker. How safe is that re counterfeits? Not a huge price disparity, but it makes me wonder.

    A question about the Sig P226 Legion.

    Perusing Gunbroker I see the 226 Legion with wide fluctuations for pricing. I'm looking for a back-up to my daily CCW, a Sig P226 Legion. On Sig's website, their specs column says stainless slide with Cerakote finish. Is that the case with all Legions?

    New Mexico has a 7 day waiting period coming

    Sorry for your troubles. I always liked vacationing in NM. Mostly, in Santa Fe, fly fishing in the Pecos River. But like so many other desirable places in the US, it was already being infested by yellow bellied invaders from communist occupied states. A downright shame.

    Shotgun snap caps.

    I'm interested in these: https://www.amazon.com/Tipton-Reusable-Construction-Dry-Firing-Practice/dp/B0048KKGN4/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1QSD67C77SHXQ&keywords=12%2Bgauge%2Bsnap%2Bcaps&qid=1707223867&sprefix=%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-8&th=1 But the ad issues this caveat: " For use with break open shotguns, not...

    Wearing out the springs in a mag

    Funny. I'll have to remember that one. But I'll say, "...that's a jump that even Evil Kneivel could not make."

    Wearing out the springs in a mag

    I think the implication is that the spring will fail, regardless. As I type this, I'm waiting on two Wolff 1911 springs for just such a situation. Old mags that failed early on that I bought at a gun show, likely.

    Wearing out the springs in a mag

    My understanding is that keeping a mag loaded doesn't wear out the spring. It's frequent use, viz. compression vs extension. Is that true for the tube mag on a shotgun? Keeping the tube spring compressed doesn't shorten it's (the spring) life?

    Have you guys seen CCI's new jacketed 22LR? Uppercut 22 Long Rifle 32 Grain

    SD maybe against some emaciated meth head in summer attire. But against a portly slob with winter clothing, not so much. Better than a poke in the eye, I guess.

    Question about bullet diameter.

    Thanks for all the responses. I'll be fine with the ranges I shoot.

    Question about bullet diameter.

    I ordered some plated bullets from Berrys. Round nose hollow base bullets .452 inch diameter. I want them for loading 45 Colt. All the data I see verifies 45 Colt fires bullets with a diameter of .452. But this box is labeled for 45 ACP. Again, the data I've consulted says 45 ACP is .451...

    Kudos to Berry's bullets.

    Me, as well. Some of my favs. And, I need to reorder those.

    New to skeet shooting. Am I looking at an ok purchase or is there better?

    Hi Jim. An inquiry on another forum dealt with this issue. "Re rifle recoil in foot pounds of energy. Let's say we're talking about 30-06 caliber that produces 20 ft pounds of energy of recoil. If the test rifle is a bolt action, the recoil energy is 20 fps. If the test rifle is a...

    Wayne LaPierre is resigning.

    It might have already been referenced, but, from another forum: "..they have to get the 76 member BOD to 9 or less directors as a 76 member board rarely comes to alignment to give direction to the NRA executives. Numerous studies have shown that board of directors totaling 10 and above are...
