Barring LEOs, Military, and those within the security industry are there any statistics available that note the number of rounds fired in a self defense scenario between those with some if any professional training vs. those without professional training?

I started with a Ruger P95 use to carry it in the gut (much thinner then) it was cheap and worked well and it held 15. Then had a Charter 2000 .44 special Bulldog Pug, strong side. It was easy to hide and had the most power. I then went to a HK USPC .40 (use Remington HV) down the back of the...

I need to find a Hunter Safety Course for Texas to be able to get a Hunting license. I have seen on the internet some that are all online but do they actualy fulfill the requirement? If I can get some direction on this it would be appreciated. Thanks WM

The jist of what I heard was in reference to stainless vs blued rifles and the difference in accuracy in cold temperature. I have heard some back and forth that one is more inherently accurate (seemed more opinion than fact) then the other but I have read more definitive information that...

Are there any studies done on physical or mental stress and how it affects accuracy with firearms? I know there is a winter biathlon that involves skiing and shooting but has there been any actual research on such stressors and the affect on firearm accuracy? I would imagine that the military...

My friend has a Stainless Beretta in 9mm that is making an odd ching sorta sound on the first two rounds out of his 10 rnd mags (2). It also happens on the first round of his 15 rnd mag(1). The mags are very stiff. One thing I noticed was that at the top of the chamber opening on the...

Since this fits in both the rifle & shotgun areas I'll post this here. When I was a kid I used to go shooting with a youth pastor from my church. He had an O/U rifle/shotgun combo .223 and 16g blued. It shot great and was easy on the shoulder. Who (if anyone) manufactures these today or...

Is there any danger that too many press checks could push the head into the cartridge and result in too much pressure being generated and well you know, a ka-boom?

Today’s been a great day no problems at work, stocks are up, and my NRA Life Membership packet came! Stickers, patches, membership card, letter, and certificate amongst other things. Put a huge smile on my face. A BIG THANK YOU! to tuckerdog1 & Fburgtx But I have the darndest problem...

I did not see this listed anywhere.... I just saw on Fox4 that a .50 BMG dropped through the roof of a camper at the TMS today shatering the arm of a woman inside. Anyone have any more news on this?

I've been away for some time.... work blocking me from being here. Somthinging I have noticed about the victome...... they make good prey. All the movies I see and all the stories on the boobtube have the good guy stand there like a frozen fool untill he or she is pushed far enough to take...

I'm 31 and yes, do have some gray in my beard. I'm tired of hearing the BS about LEOs that hate for you to have a CCW or any firearm at all. It is a locational thing. Corruption is everywhere, small towns big cities and all between. It is utter nutz to say that every LEO in a certain area...

Joke as sent: The scene is sometime in the old era when cockpits had Round dials plus flight engineers and navigators. The Crusty old-timer captain is breaking in a brand new Navigator. The captain opens his briefcase, pulls out a .38 and rests it on the glare panel. He asks the...

For many years I have lived in a house with room-mates I trust. Both of them are shoters, stand-up, blue colar, hard working folks. We had different work scheduals, a fence around the place, and dogs. Now it is just me and I hate it. I come home and I check my stuff. I check my windows...

I know I'm not the only one to ever think of this...... If you could go back in time to a certain conflict with your collection, which would it be and why?

I was looking at a poll and noticed these 2 questions that seemed to go together. Its what the second questions implies (specifically) and the direction of the two combined that I am troubled by. Please discuss.

With the holidays coming up, please take a moment to visit this site and send a card to our soldiers. It takes very little time but may mean so very much. http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1280.html

After much research I have decided to go with the CZ Dan Wesson Razorback. To be honest, the only other 10mm I own is the Springfield OMEGA 6" 10mm. I love the look, feel, balance, and weight of it but that is the only reference I have to go by. What I want to hear is the good, bad, and...
