I thought many would find this to be an interesting article regarding the War on Drugs even though it's nearly 10 years old. Friedman seems to make a LOT of sense. This is a New York Times copyrighted article: If my posting it here violates any copyright rules/laws, I ask that the mods please...

Hi, Tuner - A buddy recently picked up what appears to be an arsenal refinished (parked) M1911. I was wondering how close it might be to your M1911 of 1919 vintage. His s/n is 5008XX, is that anywhere near the s/n of yours? He'd love having any additional info. He's finally starting to relax...

Anyone out there know if, all other things being equal, a 1918/1919 Model M1911 is more or less desirable than a Colt M1911A1? A buddy just picked up a good-condition M1911 (s/n 507,XXX, IIRC) from a neighbor for $300 and I'm trying to convince him not to sell it before he has more info...

An Aussie homeowner has been charged with assault after defending his home during a home invasion. There's probably more to this story, but it does seem to represent the current PC thinking re poor, misunderstood and misguided criminals. It's my understanding that it's almost certain that a...

Does anyone know if there's currently an active promotion code for placing a Midway order? Just missed the last one. :mad: Thanks, Rick

I guess it's a good thing she wasn't adjusting her "unmentionables", else she'd be charged with lewd & lascivious conduct. Is England beyond hope? In our own country, what would happen in (insert name of state here) if you were photographed moving your CCW from one place of concealment to...

If this doesn't beat all... There's a growing problem in Australia with thugs crashing parties & beating people up (or worse). There was one instance in which the father of a young lady was attacked and beaten during her 16th birthday party at her home. The article covering that story...

Hi, all - I posted this on the S&W forum and though I'd post it here as well to take full advantage of all resources. I took my new-to-me nickel plated 442 to the range yesterday for its first outing. I put 10 rounds of S&B 158gr LRN through it before our IDPA match started. The previous...

Hmmmm, I wonder if the esteemed Governor Blanco knows about "The Battle of Athens, Tennesse"? http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=170716 New Orleans Voters Go To Court Over Elections Delay, GOP Chair Threatens Recall December 13, 2005 XXXX 1:00 PM CT (NEW ORLEANS)- Today...

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for developing some kind of rig for measuring recoil? TIA, R-Tex

I just learned that Thunder Ranch was able to reschedule me to the July 12th-14th Handgun H.I.T. class from the October class. Is anyone else going to be attending on those dates? R-Tex12

It seems I recall having read somewhere that the C&R application should be printed on 8 1/2 x 14 paper, not on 8 1/2 x 11. Does anyone know if that's correct? Thanks in advance, R-Tex12

In light of recent events, it seems appropriate to let our troops know that their service to their country and their sacrifices are very much appreciated. Rudyard Kipling said it far better than I can ever hope to. I'm not sure this is the proper place to post this - if it needs to be moved...

Sorry if this has already been posted. I did a quick scan & didn't see it anywhere, but could have missed it. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0304/borowitz.html Jayson Williams' gun goes on three-state killing spree Rampage bolsters defense theory that gun acted alone...

Hi, all - There is one interpretation of the wording of the Second Ammmendment that I do not recall ever having seen discussed. The wording I'm wondering about is in the first part, where it says, " A well regulated militia...". It seems that, in most arguments against the Ammendment...

Hi, everyone - I'm brand new to casting. I have a pair of Lee SWC aluminum dies in .44 Mag and .45 ACP. I'm ordering Lee's Bullet Casting Manual, but do not have it yet. I have cast 100 or 150 "test" bullets, but get little "wrinkles" in the cone portion of the bullets. The moulds get...

Both M29's. One is 3016XX, the other one's 668XXX. Thanks in advance, R-Tex12

Can anyone give me some general info/hints/recommendations regarding positives and/or negatives involved in shooting FWC vs. SWC reloads? I'm just beginning to get into bullet casting and haven't yet decided about moulds. I plan to start with .38/.357 and .44 for plinking/practice purposes...

Hi, guys - I found a box of fired PMC .44 Mag brass at the range yesterday. In looking closely, I see that the brass has a slight bulge (about .007") on one side near the base. I decapped a few and see that the flash hole is quite off-center - maybe as much as 1/2 the diameter of the hole...
