If I had the cash I'd jump on it

Wish I had the time and money... I wish that I had the time and money to wear out a gun barrel. The old muzzleloaders would take years of more or less daily use to wear the lands out of a rifle to a point where a gun smith would rebore and re-rifle the gun. The smoothbore would just...

I got my P11 for a CHL renewal. Texas has/had a rule that if you qualify with a revolver that is the only type of weapon you can carry. If you qualify with a semi you can carry a semi or a revolver. I find the POI is 6" low at 18 yards which is the maximum distance used in the qualification...

51% The 51% sign is the official notice that a business makes more than 51% of their revenue from selling alcohol. Places like Chili's have bars, but they don't qualify because most of their business is in food sales. A bar would be a 51% place. The law says the sign must be posted at...

Here's a self-defense issue we don't think about every day. The Mrs called me at work the other day to tell me she saw a skunk in the yard across the street running in circles. I called animal control to report it, and learned that a positive test for rabies in a skunk less than a mile from my...

My daughter has been raised to think it odd if I head out the door and she does not see me perform a ready check on my edc before picking up my keys. When she was 8 or 9 she went through a phase of asking to make sure I was heeled when we went out. She knows about gun control, and the 30.06...

I took the daughter to the movies over the weekend. When we arrived I noticed a brand new 30.06 sign on the doors. For those outside Texas, the 30.06 sign is the legally required notice that must be posted to prevent CHL holders from carrying inside the business. I called the manager, and...

I find maintaining control and shot placement under the extreme pressure of a self-defense situation are much larger concerns for me than anything else. Find a hollow point load that will let you put 5 rounds into a 4" circle at 10 feet in less tha 5 seconds and forget the rest.

I stand corrected on the 38 S&W. I misread my Speer #13 manual, missing the .360 bullet diameter.

You forgot the 357 can chamber the 38 S&W which is shorter than the 38 Special. Make room for the 44 American and 44 Russian in the 44 Special/Maggie line. The 45 Colt will also chamber the 45 Schofield. The 38 Long Colt will chamber the 357, but you may need a new gun after the hammer drops...

Point of Aim(POA) is where the sights are aligned. Point of Impact (POI) is where the bullet hits the target. The sighting in process is making those two point the same place. My 5.5" Rem New Army requires me to hold about 6" above the target at 25 yards. I will file down the frint sight yo...

Speed Loaders I used the HKS for a while, but I have since switched to Speedstrips because the factory stocks would hang up on the HKS, and I can carry the strips in my pants pocket without printing so badly.

I'll agree the roll-mark on the cylinder is no guarantee of anything. Water table as applied to guns is a new one on me too. Probably an engineering term that was carried over. The engraving will be the tell all. Colt had some repro guns made by Pietta and sold under "Colt Black powder...

It also has the 4th frame screw for attaching the shoulder stock. Good catch!

I second CoolDill. The 3" SP101 would be the way to go. I carry the 2.25" version. It is a bit heavier than I would like, but I appreciate every ounce when I pull yhe trigger.

Unless your lady is really slim waistband carry can be a problem because of the hip swell that makes the top of the holster angle into the lady's ribs causing irritation and impeding the draw stroke. I also dislike a small of the back holster in case she gets knocked down. Landing on a gun is...

The ability to step back in history is one of the reasons I took up handloading. It gives me the ability to get the power at a price I can afford to practice with. It also allows me to load down to a level the Mrs. can enjoy shooting as well. As far as distance goes, Mr. Vic Stacy proved the...

800 fps is indeed the traditional answer for the .38 Special 158gr LSWHP bullet. I encounter most of those references in material related to the "FBI Load" in the snubnose. Years ago I saw an ad for a ramrod jag that consisted of a sharp spike in the middle and 4 surrounding "blades" that...
