    Gun show loophole?

    All over the news today is Biden's action on closing the "Gun show loophole"! In my home state of Oregon it hasn't been legal to do a private party sale/transfer of firearms without going through a FFL (which requires a background check) in many years. If you want to do a private party...

    1913 / Picatinny / Sig mount folding stock advice for PC Charger please

    The free tax stamp for my PC Charger came in and now I would like to change out the brace for a real folding stock. The PC Charger has a 1913 / Picatinny rail / Sig style mount for a brace / stock. I like the folding stock that came on my Sig MCX, their "Minimalist" folding stock. I am...

    How much does a Dan Wesson 744 (44 mag) weigh?

    Of course it depends on the barrel length and barrel shroud. I asked myself how much my 744 weighs so many times I thought I would post my results here. Dan Wesson 744 - 2.5" barrel VH shroud = 44oz = 2.75lbs Dan Wesson 744 - 4" barrel VH shroud = 49.6oz = 3.1lbs Dan Wesson 744 - 8"...

    What is your CURRENT home protection round?

    If you were at home right now and you heard a window break or a door being kicked in what would you pickup to defend yourself and your family? I am not asking your favorite home protection round I am asking what you would grab if you heard a strange sound right this second? Why? I would also...

    I am going to order some pistols from Sportsman's Warehouse before the new Oregon gun law goes into effect. Can someone suggest which lowers to order? https://www.sportsmans.com/search/?q=stripped+lower:relevance:inStockFlag:true A quick internet search says Anderson isn't the highest...

    Last rights

    I live in the liberalized state of Oregon. If you haven't heard 3 of the 36 counties in Oregon have passed a bill outlawing 10+ round magazines for all the rest of us but there is a grandfather clause for existing high capacity mags. I have about a month to purchase high capacity guns and high...

    Oregon - It will now be illegal to OWN gun magazines with > 10 capacity.

    Measure 114 "The initiative would also prohibit the manufacture, importation, possession, use, purchase, sale, or otherwise transferring of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It would make violations a class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 364 days in jail...

    What weight bullets for mild 44 special loads

    I currently load full power (not extra hot) 44 magnum for my Dan Wesson 744 and Desert Eagle 44 magnum barrel. They work well in both firearms and cycle the Desert Eagle very reliably. I would like some light target loads for my Dan Wesson 744 revolver. Rather than having 44 magnum full...

    Gunman gunned down.

    Last night a local kid (I won't give him the respect of putting his name up here and I hope nobody else does either) went into a Safeway with an AR15 and a shotgun to make the national news (as he stated in his online post). Gunman opens fire at East Bend shopping center, inside Safeway: 3...

    A day at the range.

    A friend of mine found out she has a half brother about a year ago. He came from Germany to visit her for a couple of weeks. Not too surprisingly one of the things he really wanted to do was go shooting. I packed a pretty healthy arsenal and took them and a few other friends out today. My...

    10" barrel for 44 magnum make any sense?

    I own a Dan Wesson 744 with 8", 4" and 2.5" barrels. While looking for a 6" barrel I found an 10" barrel. I am tempted to purchase it but I am having a hard time justifying it when I already have a scoped 8" barrel. Can anyone think of something I could do with a 10" barrel that I couldn't...

    Any long term reviews of the Lee single stage App (Automatic Processing Press)?

    The Lee single stage APP (Automatic Processing Press) has been around for a few years now and I was wondering if anyone could share their long term thoughts on the press? Do you use it as much as you thought you would? Do you still use it at all? Which operations do you perform on it? Is it...

    So happy to finally have my LCP back!

    Last spring when I was picking my daughter up from school she asked me to come in and help her carry some stuff out when I called her to tell her I was there. I pulled my LCP and holster out of my pocket and thought for a minute where to stow it so anyone breaking my window looking for...

    A good American - Movie

    Just watched "A Good American", a movie released earlier this year about U.S. Government intelligence. Has anyone else seen it? I would be interested in hearing the reactions of others? Fact? - Fiction? - Fantasy? - Fake News? - Doesn't belong on this forum?

    Hellcat or Hellcat OSP? (Red dot on a carry gun?)

    I like subcompact carry guns! The Hellcat is on my short list. I will definitely be purchasing the Hellcat OSP version with the cut out for a red dot site. My question: Is it worth it to buy a red dot for a sub compact carry gun? Purchasing the OSP version will give me the option but is it...

    Remington TAC 13 semi auto 12g thunder stick.

    I was doing some web surfing today and came across a few recently released shotguns that I had not heard of before. The first was the Armscor (Rock Island Armory) VRB-100 12g semi auto bullpup for under $600. I always thought the Tavor TS12 looked interesting but kind of bulky not to mention...

    Dillon tumbler died... what next.

    I have been tumbling with walnut shells and corn cob for 30 years now. My 10 year old Dillon large tumbler just died on me. The replacement motor is over $100... which doesn't seem worth it. I am contemplating my options. Buy a new tumbler... I am thinking of the large 18 lb capacity HF...

    Any reason to own a 357 mag if you already own a 44 mag?

    I have been a semi-auto guy for the past 30+ years and only recently (about 6 months ago) purchased my first "Nice" revolver, a Dan Wesson 744 44 mag with a 8" barrrel. I love the gun! I recently picked up a 4" barrel for the 744 which makes for a much better balanced gun and the 4" shoots...
