    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...

    What Brand Choke Tubes are these?

    I recently traded for a 20 ga and it came with a case of choke tubes. Didn't realize it until now 4 weeks later but 2 of the choke tubes are for a 12 ga. They don't fit my Benelli nor my 870. I no longer have the guy's number, curious if anyone here can tell me what make of shotguns they fit...

    WD40 And Displacing Water

    So I often go wade fishing where I'm standing in knee to waist deep water for hours and hours. These are midwest streams, meaning a mix of mud, sand and rock; water is clearish but certainly not mountain stream clear. Inside my pocket on these outings is an LCP, which sees plenty of time...

    S&W M17 Barrel not aligned

    So I picked up a Model 17-3 recently. I thought I looked it over pretty well before handing over cash but apparently I didn't, because as soon as I took it to the range I immediately realized the barrel is off a couple degrees in relation to the frame. The barrel appears to be perfectly...

    Shotgun Reloading Questions

    Like many I got caught with my pants down in 2020 with birdshot disappearing off shelves when I didn't expect it to, and I'm considering starting to reload 12 and 20 ga in the next year or so after components show back up so I have an additional buffer after I run out of factory ammo. I've been...

    Training with a different holster vs your EDC holster?

    I took a "next level" conceal carry class over the weekend, one of the issues I had was my leather holster is a little difficult when repeatedly re-holstering. In my normal carry I always insert my gun and holster together as one piece inside my waistband, and that's what I ended up doing for...

    Lightweight Gas 20 ga vs 28 ga Semi or O/U

    I'm looking for something in-between the .410 H&R single shot I have and the Mossberg 500 20ga 26" barrel with a youth stock for my kids as they grow up. Judging from what my oldest went through the .410 was frustrating with it's external hammer and limited range for someone new to hunting, and...

    Ammo Related Raw Material Shortages

    Since the other thread got closed right after I put in the research and likely seconds before I was ready to post, I'm going to just drop this here so I don't feel like I wasted my time. Copper mine output lower because of Covid shutdowns and restrictions...

    Trash Brass

    I have no problem picking up brass I find on the ground at my range and taking it home, but often while I'm cleaning up I'll look in a trash can and see a couple empty boxes of factory ammo, and the brass to go along with it. I'm apparently not above dumpster diving for this brass; the trash...

    3" K6s Appendix Holster?

    I'm picking up a K6s today with a 3" barrel. The plan is to carry it AIWB but I'm not having much luck finding one. I see Desantis makes a model, and I picked up an "Azula" holster from Amazon that seems to fit but I'm not sure if I'll like it. Anyone aware of other holsters that'll fit? In...

    Letting Young Kids Help Reload?

    My 22 month old is obsessed with anything an everything mechanical in the garage and my gun area bench. Yesterday I was reloading some 9mm, and after hearing him plead at the door "Da-eee, Da-eeee" I let him in. The sound of the finished rounds dropping into the bin of my Load Master caught...

    Lazy Sunday with the Kids

    My 11 year old has been begging for years for me to take her squirrel hunting. I told her when she could shoot a .410 I'd take her, but up until this year she thought it kicked, even with 2.5" shells. Well, last weekend when I let her try again she laughed off the .410 and even gave a 20 gauge...

    Any M1 Carbine Experts?

    I've always thought the M1 Carbines were cool little guns, and after discovering my FIL had one he was getting rid of I tried to buy it off him. He ended up giving it to me instead, lucky me! I'm curious what you guys might be able to tell me as far as what might be original or what might have...

    What's up with Armslist?

    Since Friday I can't filter by manufacturer or cartridge on Armslist. Doesn't matter if I'm on my phone or my laptop. The most I can filter is just firearm type (Antique, Handguns, Rifles, NFA, Shotguns, Muzzleloaders). Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

    My daughter's first centerfire experience

    After a year of trying to persuade her to try my lever action, she finally gave it a shot this morning. She's only shot .22's up until now, but she discovered she REALLY liked shooting .38 special as well. The gun's still a tad large and heavy for her, but she was ringing the 5" gongs at 15...

    Looking for a waterproof IWB holster

    I wade fish where I'm regularly knee to waist deep in water, and am looking for an IWB holster for my SP101 that doesn't have leather. Right now I'm considering a Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 or a Stealth Gear Mini Ventcore, but would like to see other suggestions (or comments on the 2 listed) for...
