Chicago has a history of blaming others for their failed policies which have led to it being a crime ridden city. The most common thing I heard when living there was the failure of neighboring states to have more stringent gun laws leads to an influx of guns into Chicago from those states. It is...

I've been a fan of Nighthawk Custom since I picked up a used .45 Talon a while ago. Reading vanfunk's post on the Thunder Ranch Combat Special he picked up chambered in .45 peaked my interest in it. A LGS had a used one chambered in 9mm that looked like it's hardly been fired, and every weekend...

I have a 9mm Guardian with, I'm guessing between 1500 to 2000 rounds through it. It's functioned perfectly from day one until recently when the slide release came out partially while I was shooting it, locking the gun up. I was able to push it back in and keep shooting without it occurring...

I have a P365XL which had a light primer strike issue. It was sent to Sig for repair and I was at the range with it today. I put 150 rounds through it without issue using 115 grain Blazer ammo. I then tried my carry ammo, 124 grain +P HST and had this stove pipe after 25 rounds. I did a quick...

These magazines for the Dagger and Glock 43x/48 have been out for a while now. There had been some reports of feed issues due to plastic flashing lining the magazines. I'm wondering if anyone who's been using them has an update on their reliability.

Attached is a video for a solution for the Illinois gun registry as well as other states with similar restrictions. If you choose to go this route make sure to watch the entire video as there are things you need to do to be legal. Law Weapons had their attorneys review this to confirm it was...

I have a Dillon XL750 reloader which is currently set up for 9mm. I have CCI, Federal, Remington and Ginex SPP primers. The first three primers seat fully, but for 3 to 4 rounds per 50 using the Ginex primers, the primers do not quite seat completely. The difference is not much and is difficult...

I'm not sure if this belongs here or possibly in the legal section, so mods move it if necessary. I've had USCCA for a number of years. A couple of days ago someone brought this program to my attention and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with it. It has plusses and minuses compared to the...

I knew the number of active shooters stopped by citizens is under reported, but the numbers quoted by John Lott were higher than I expected. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2023/08/31/fbi_data_on_active_shootings_is_misleading_149699.html

As the title says we're leaving for Michigan this weekend, specifically the Mackinac Island area. I've looked through a number of sites in regards to Michigan laws and am aware that I need to disclose to a LEO that I'm carrying and where the prohibited places are. My main question is whether...

I believe there’s forum members looking for a SA 35. I received an email from Midway USA that they have them in stock for $799.

I was at the range yesterday shooting my reloads in which I used Ginex SPP. I had no issues other than one light strike in my P365XL. Are these primers harder than average? I’m trying to figure out if it’s a primer or gun issue. My other guns had no light strikes.

I use a case lube when resizing brass. I prefer to reload without the case lube on it and have been using a degreaser to give it a quick cleaning. I used a cleaner containing bleach, which discolored the brass somewhat. I don’t care about it being discolored but was wondering if anyone knew...

Just a heads up that these mags are back in stock. They tend to sell out quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for them I’d place an order quickly...

This gun has been on my want list since it was announced, and is now shipping. Be careful of the scam sights. I'm seeing it supposedly available for too good to be true pricing on some scam sights. They include armscenter.org and danwessonfirearmstore.com. You'll want to avoid those 2 sites...

I just stopped at a LGS to pick up a Staccato CS. There was a new question on the 4473, asking if you live in town, outside town or are unsure. I'm curious as to why they're asking that and was wondering if anyone had any insight.

I bought a 9mm 4 inch Performance Center Shield Plus a while ago. Almost immediately, I had feed issues with it and contacted S&W. They had me send it back and the only repair they did was polishing the feed ramp. I did have issues with the magazines in that I could only load 10-11 rounds in a...

I have a Glock 48 and 43X, both which use the Shield Arms magazines. Reliability in both has been iffy, but any feed issues I had appear to have been corrected in mine by replacing the spring and follower in one of the magazines and at Shield Arm's suggestion replacing the third party magazine...

I've been using a Hornady electronic scale to measure powder. It works well and I'm not unhappy with it, however it tends to shut off pretty quickly. I don't want to risk inaccurate loads so I recalibrate it every time it shuts off, which can get cumbersome depending on how long it takes to...

Almost all of my 45ACP brass uses large pistol primers. I've found some using SPP, and there are enough that I want to use them. Do I need to increase or decrease the amount of powder I use for the brass with SPP?
