    Ruger LC9

    A buddy bought the LC9 when they came out and I picked up the LCP. I could pocket carry mine, but the LC9 was too big. And that little 9 was snappy, it's been well over 10 years since I shot it but I still remember how it smacked my palm, a problem I don't have with my LCP. But I think it's...

    Tax Returns Gun Prices ++ Up

    I'm breaking even with taxes, which is what I try to do because I hate giving the government interest free loans! I'm getting a nice bonus from work, but most of that is going towards a car for my soon to be 16 year old. Shes been doing extra chores over the past year and will continue to do...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I'm 50/50. Scopes on my squirrel/groundhog gun and "precision" target guns. Red dot on my AR .22 trainer. Peep sight on my lever gun. Regular irons on the single shots and 10/22.

    I think word is out...

    I'm pretty annoyed by it. I planned to pick up a gp100 or 686 in the spring of 2020. Then I thought, maybe once the craziness stops. But the craziness hasn't stopped an a $450 ruger is now $750, and a $600 Smith is closing in on a grand. I guess I'm fortunate I picked up the few revolvers I...

    Is Glock the Colt 1911 of the 1980s & earlier?

    I see Glock's path as similar to Harley Davidson. At some point in the 80's HD decided that they no longer needed to innovate and instead would rely on brand recongition and marketing. That worked great for them while baby boomers still purchased their motorcycles, but eventually younger...

    .22lr revolver - how challenging to keep clean?

    Right now I have three .22 revolvers and two .22 pistols. Neither are that challenging to keep clean. I wipe down the exterior with an oily rag after taking them to the range, and only clean the rest when they need it; sticky chambers with the revolvers and cycling issues with the semi-autos...

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    Mine was getting my Red Ryder taken away. I was about 10. My younger siblings were at the edge of the yard playing with my cans I used for targets and stacking them up. I was hiding in the woods and when they'd stack up the cans and turn around I'd knock them over with my bb gun. After about...

    P32 Failure to Eject

    It's tight and appears in good condition. I had field stripped and cleaned before I used it, and it probably had 200 dry fires through it before I took it to the range. What would make underpowered ammo put soot on the brass like that? I just sorted through my brass and the PPU brass is...

    P32 Failure to Eject

    I just picked up a new Keltec P32. Cleaned it over the weekend, lightly lubed it, and took it to the range this morning. Ran 150 rounds of PPU 71gr FMJ's and finished up with 20 rounds of Buffalo Bore 75gr hard cast through it. The PPU was extremely dirty and was flinging crap back at my...

    Building a lighter AR didn't work out so well...

    You hadn't mentioned this was P&W, that would have cleared things up earlier. What I do on my builds and you might want to try, is I keep a spreadsheet. I list the price of every component, it's advertised weight, and then I weight it on a postage scale when I get it so there's already a sum...

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    No I don't really change anything, I just swap my #2 to the #1 position. Normally my 3" K6s is my EDC but often you'll find me pocket carrying an LCP. When I travel I only bring the LCP because I know no matter what I'm wearing it'll be easy to conceal.

    380 Day

    I just have a lowly regular lcp but at least it has a story. My first one died on me with empty brass stuck in the chamber after about 10 years and 1200 rounds. For the life of me I couldn't get the slide back to retrieve the brass. Called Ruger, they said to send it in. Said it was...

    Building a lighter AR didn't work out so well...

    You did fine building a light AR, it's the accessories that are killing you. But if you want to lose more weight on the gun itself don't fight the suggestions that are being given to you: Pencil barrel, or at a minimum Faxon gunner profile Adjustable gas block lightweight BCG lightweight...

    20" vs. 22" Turkey Gun

    I believe you should have complete powder burn by 20", and with a red dot there's no advantage to a longer sight radious. And you won't be swinging this so there's not much reason to worry about balance. So the advantage of the 22" barrel is an insignificant lower amount of recoil and muzzle...

    Jury finds NRA officers violated responsibilities

    We (gun owners) should start a public campaign to thank her. She's done her good by helping rid us of WLP, and the next best thing would be to have voters oust her because we're clapping our hands over the ordeal. Personally I've vowed not to send the NRA a dime more than my dues until he's...

    Low price optics

    It's double your budget and you'll have to wait a few months, but I have 3 of these and they are an excellent value when Midway puts them on sale for $200 which happens a few times a year. I have 2 of them on .22's I take out to 200 yards and another on an AR15. It basically has the glass of...
