    Our Founding Fathers' perspective on citizens and guns.

    I found it interesting. You might, as well. [begin excerpt] “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined...” - George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790 “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia...

    Sig p226 16 round v 11 round capacity?

    The actual gun will accommodate either? A California compliant version merely has a 10 round mag instead of the standard 15 round mag?

    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?

    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

    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?

    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...

    Touch up for a aged scope mount?

    The gun is stainless and the scope mount is aluminum. I'd like a uniform matte black finish for the mount. Duracoat? Cerakote? Something I can do at home? If none of the above, I'll get the guy who redid my grip frame and ejector rod housing. Suggestions?

    Scope or red dot?

    I'm outfitting a Dan Wesson 715 w/8 inch barrel for yotes and pigs. I'm experienced with handgun scopes but am considering a red dot. I've never used a red dot. Is it worth it? I like the idea of low light illumination but don't like the reticle washout in bright sunlight. Opinions?

    Kudos to Berry's bullets.

    12/5/23 I ordered 1000 230 gr copper plated 45 ACP RN bullets from Berrys. I got the confirmation and thank you email that day. (Tuesday.) No estimate of delivery date. "OK", says I. Backlogged? Supply chain issues? Copper shortage? I decided it might be a long wait. I got back to the...

    Behind the neck or over the head?

    I have two pair Howard Leight over the head electronic muffs. When wearing a hat, the seal between muffs and head isn't always that good. I've been looking at the Sordin Pro-X behind the neck muffs. Are they a superior design/brand for hearing protection in a hunting scenario?

    How is Duracoat for rust prevention?

    I have a Remington Express 870 I purchased from Big 5 circa 2002. I replaced the 18 inch barrel with a OEM Remington barrel with rifle sights. I've also replaced the MIM ejector with a tooled steel ejector and replaced the plastic mag follower with an aftermarket metal follower. Knoxx stock...

    Is the Beretta A300 a proven item yet?

    I perused the subject via "search" and saw this thread: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/new-release-beretta-a300-tactical.914906/ Dated January, one poster suggested it needed to be Beta tested before he'd trust it. I'm looking at the Ultima Patrol A300 for $999. Strictly for...

    Why "44" on my Dillon 45 Colt Square Deal die?

    It was the last of the caliber dies I ordered from Dillon and it has "44" stamped underneath the "45." It's been awhile since I used it and I'm getting ready to load 45 ACP and got confused. I called Dillon and they had to transfer my inquiry (support) to engineering. (Support had no idea why...

    I find myself with an unopened 4lb container of Titegroup.

    Any particular application for which it excels? I load 44s, 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 9mm, 357... I load for plinking and paper punching. For SD rounds I go commercial.

    Replacing Rem 870 magazine follower.

    GG&G @ MidwayUSA for $36.99. Are the channels on either side of the part so that one does not have to remove the "dimples" in the mag tube? Or would I still have to remove the dimples?

    A question re Remington 870 Express.

    I set up a Rem 870 Express for turkey and coyote. I've heard a lot of negative about the early Express models (I bought mine ~2002-2003). I also have a older 870 Wingmaster and, granted, the action on the Wingmaster is much smoother, but the Express is fine too. The only specifics I've seen...

    I just took delivery of a S&W 1911.

    Anyone else on THR own one? I also have a Colt Gold Cup and a Colt Combat Commander, both Series 80. The Smith is the only 1911 I own with an external extractor. Two of my Sigs (226 Legion and 220 SAE) have external extractors and I like them fine. How do you like your S&W 1911?
