    Reciprocal Carry - South Carolina?

    I have a trip to S. Carolina soon. I hold a WI CC permit. I have researched the laws of various states along my route from Wisconsin. I have seen seemingly conflicting information regarding reciprocity with S. Carolina. One source stated that Gov Nikki Haley signed a law in 2016 granting...

    Good Situational Awareness , or Overthinking and Paranoia?

    Went to church today with family. I initially selected a pew about 1/4 back from the front , which I consider ideal. A helpful usher motioned us towards a front row seat , and we followed his direction. After a short time it occurred to me that , in the unlikely and God forbid case of an...

    Elderley Veteran vs Home Invader

    Interesting story with an outcome that indicates that a seemingly helpless victim is not always helpless. I am going to conclude that the shotgun involved in the fight was an unloaded display item as it was not discharged ; of course I could be wrong , perhaps the quarters were to close for...

    AMMO inc. will soon expand into a new facility in Manitowoc Wi. , not far from where I sit. With all the worry and gloom that overshadows the gun/ammo industry these days it is good to see some positive news. The new facility will not reverse the tide nationwide , but it is some good news...

    H&R revolver i.d. dom

    A friend of mine bids on whole lots of abandoned storage unit property. You never know what's going to be in one of those lots. A few days ago he found , buried in a box of rags , an old Harrington & Richardson .22 revolver. I know that the value of it is quite low , but it would be nice to...

    FirearmsOnline.com ???

    I am liking for a certain handgun which , in this crazy market , seems to be quite popular and sold out from one source after another . Until --- I come across "Firearmsonline" - not only is the item in stock bot the price is about 55% LESS than I have seen anywhere else! Less than half price...

    My wife would like to have a revolver for sd. Her criteria (and mine) are pretty well defined : Compact , mild recoil , laser sighted. Revolver for the sake of simplicity and reliability. Compact for the sake of ease of carry to and from vehicle , concealment. Laser sight - she feels she...

    Ruger LC9 function/disfunction

    A friend asked me to figure out how to install a new battery in the laser on his LC9. Sure , I said. I thought I'd like to try the trigger while I had it , so I safety checked / cleared it , cycled it , and pulled the trigger - or tried to. Trigger would not budge. Hmmm ... So I dug out...

    9mm vs 40 S&W pistol --- pricing

    A few months ago I shopped for a Walther P99 ; lately I have been looking at listings for a Beretta PX4 Storm. Both pistols are available in 9mm and .40 S&W ; I am a 9mm proponent. As I scan listings I find that time and time again my eyes go to a good price point only to find that it is for a...

    J frame vs compact pistol ... expectations

    I have long been an advocate of a J frame revolver as a carry gun. Revolvers are simple and reliable to operate , and I tend to shoot revolvers better than semi-auto pistols. Over the course of time , however , I arrived at the conclusion that 5 rounds is not prudent or sufficient in some...

    Walther PPS - Shaving Brass

    I am becoming familiar with my very first polymer framed striker fired pistol. Yes , gone to the dark side. Lightweight with better capacity than my standard J frame. Anyway ... when cleaning it this evening I noticed brass shavings - not, apparently , from casings , but from an internal...
