    Offhand shooting practice

    I'd be thrilled to put up a group like that at 100! Heck, even at 50! 😄

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    My preferred carry is my S&W Shield, but my actual carry is usually my SIG P238 because it is smaller, lighter, and so much more convenient.

    Sorry to hear that. He was one of the good ones...

    Practicing in various weather

    I occasionally practice in rain or cold but not as often as I should.

    Lost My Cool at Range Today

    The SRO at one of my previous schools was also on the SWAT team. He and I would chat frequently about his training and he would occasionally vent about how lackluster the qualifications were for police. At one point, he said "I've never seen you shoot, but based on the conversations we have...

    best 380 under 300$

    Please reconsider keeping in your truck. So many lose firearms that way every year. Ruger LCP, LCP II, and LCP Max can all be had for under $300 if you know where to look, i.e. online.

    When Home Security Breaks Down

    I have many family members who have a "head in the sand" or "it can't happen to me" mentality. The older I get, the less I understand it. In addition, I've come to realize that that type of thinking (as well the "go along to get along" type) has landed us where we are today in terms of lack of...

    Interesting info! Thanks everyone!

    Sorting brass when I noticed this oddity

    Not sure as I snapped the pic and then tossed it in the Big Brass Bucket. What hasn't ever been discussed here at some point? 😄 I've only been sorting brass for 5-6 years, so not an old timer, but I've never seen that. Thought it was kinda cool.

    Sorting brass when I noticed this oddity

    Never seen that before and figured I'd ask what would cause a very uniform rim around the interior like that? Just a regular 9mm case...

    Latest GOA ALERTS...This thread is for your information only; no comments/replies, please.

    A 2A organization that's in the news for all the right reasons! 👍 Hope all those disgusted with the NRA decide to join this amazing group!

    Shave with Straight razor shavette

    Made the jump to a safety razor (Shark blades ftw!) years ago and love it! I have a VERY old Boker straight razor that belonged to my great-grandfather. I've eyeballed it more than a few times but that whole process (sharpening, maintaining, and shaving) is a bit intimidating. More power to...

    Don't "Cotton" to the Old Guard

    Sorry, but sometimes the baby does need to go, along with the bathwater. Sure seems like a serious gutting is needed, at the very least... https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/former-nra-officials-admit-in-court-what-they-denied-for-years-nra-board-member-calls-for-new-leadership/ As for other...

    Don't "Cotton" to the Old Guard

    Gotta say I really don't understand all the "hand wringing" over whether to support this org or not. They are corrupt. They don't care about you or your rights. They were supposed to be the biggest advocate for the 2A and, while maybe it was true in the past, it sure is not true now. WLP was...

    What is it like looking for certain pistol brass on the ground at a busy range? Let me tell ya...

    My OCD compels me to love picking up brass! 😄 What I don't use, I give or sell to others! This obsesssio... er, compulsio... I mean, hobby has paid for my club membership many times over and it's like a real life treasure hunt! What's not to love?

    Alaska Safe Schools Act

    I know several of "us" in the schools who would gladly protect the kids for no extra pay... Not too hard to find out. Teachers (even in my county which votes a little over 60% conservative) lean Left. Of course there are going to be exceptions to the rule...

    Alaska Safe Schools Act

    Had a School Resource Officer tell me one time that he'd almost rather have any random from the shooting range have his back rather than some of the officer's in his dept... It blows my mind that the current main strategy is to cower in the classroom and THROW BOOKS should a bad guy enter the...

    Those asking for advice on which handgun to carry or how to carry

    Not completely on topic but struck me as I was reading - A few commonalities re: advice I see between here and my motorcycle forums: 1. What's the purpose of your shooting (riding)? 2. Hold it (sit on it) to see if it's even comfortable! 3. Training/practice is way more important than...

    Those asking for advice on which handgun to carry or how to carry

    In addition to the likely reasons mentioned already, most people want validation (even here in the "higher than average" independently-minded gun community) of their choice(s) and asking on a forum is a quick way to get it... or not.

    Looking for recommendations

    My post from earlier this year: A couple of years ago, I was doing a little research on .22 air rifles. I took a chance on a Gamo Whisper and have been pleasantly surprised! Groupings tightened up nicely after 50-60 pellets and it seems to prefer the heavier ones which I prefer as well. I've...
