I live in Minnesota, which has fairly intelligent gun laws (relative to, say, New Jersey) and I'm headed to Colorado in a couple of days, and am trying to make sense of their gun laws. I've been looking online, and it appears that my carry permit is not good there. Okay, got that. But having a...

This has just recently started to happen. I'm loading 9mm on my RCBS press, using a variety of brass (range pickup, but mostly my own) and standard RN FMJ 115-grain bullets. Even though I have the expander plug most of the way down inside the case, and the case mouth is clearly belled, it seems...

This has probably been mentioned on this board before, but the graphic is worth some grins. http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/publicfiles/pdf/spotting-a-hidden-handgun.pdf It purports to show how you can spot somebody carrying a concealed handgun. It's credited to some former NYC cop, and...

My new Glock 19 seems to be unable to go through 10 or 12 rounds without at least one three-point jam, locking up so solidly that I have to put it on the workbench and use a lot of manual force to un-jam the slide and eject the round. In each case, it has been with my handloads, a...

There appear to be two price levels for red-dot sights,$30 or (on sale) and $150and up. So what don't you get with the $30 variety?

I just had this idea, and maybe it's got a major flaw that I don't see yet, but here goes -- In my home state of Minnesota, we've had for a lot of years a "Permit to Purchase" law that requires would-be handgun buyers to present the permit (issued by the local sheriff) when buying from FFLs...

Back in the late 1930s there was a series of Nancy Drew movies, one of which featured a Luger that was supposedly too complicated for anybody to figure out. (She was a teenager who went around solving crimes and stuff. My wife tells me she was reading Nancy Drew books when she was a kid.)...

I was at a business/social function. Very crowded and noisy. (I would imagine pols have to go to these things to stay alive.) He is a very well-known Republican from my state. We had not met before, he and I, but I started right in on the subject most important to all of us. Here is a...

(Sorry, subject line should read "expander die") Okay, I must be missing something. For six years now, I have dutifully used an expander die on my .45 ACP brass. But today I tried not belling the case, and, whaddaya know, the bullet seats just fine. It feels like seating a bullet in a...

Some of the .45 ACP range brass I've picked up is Blazer. First time I noticed anything different about it is that it uses smaller primers. (You can probably guess at what stage of reloading I discovered this.) So I simply switched to using the smaller pistol primers in my hand-held RCBS...

The police response time at Newtown, as I understand it, was 20 minutes. That is enough time for a guy with a six-shot revolver and a box of loose cartridges to have shot all those 26 people, pausing to reload every six rounds. In fact, that's enough time for a guy with a single-shot rifle...

I enter this item from the NYTimes in the Stupidest Gun Story sweepstakes, which has some pretty fierce competition. It’s titled “Smart Guns Can’t Kill in the Wrong Hands.” Among other implied claims, it asks, “ Why can we open our front doors with our iPhones and have cars that drive...

I’ve been sick of this term since it first began to appear however many years ago. It implies that there is something different about violence committed with guns, which is exactly what the anti-gunners want people to think. You don’t hear about knife violence, wine-bottle violence, or...

I'm a newbie, obviously, so I don't know if this question has been raised before. It's an oddball problem with reassembling a Ruger .22 Mark I. I am supposed to insert the long arm of the sear spring under the sear-spring retaining pin in the grip, but it just flat-out will not fit under...

I have a gorgeous 1911 that I bought from a friend. On the right side of the slide it says "EJERCITO ARGENTINO" on the top line, and, below, "COLT CAL .45MOD. 1927." There's also a crest of some sort right beside the ejection port. On the left side, one line, reading, "D.G.F.M - (F.M.A.P.)''...
