    Black Powder Cannon as Destructive Device

    A Spokane man has been convicted of a federal felony for constructing a black powder cannon. Color me ignorant, but I thought that as long as it fired solid shot, black powder guns were not subject to NFA. Perhaps there are facts pertaining to the case that were not reported. Link to the...

    No-Knock Warrants Banned in Washington State

    Governor Inslee signed HB1054 into law as part of his law enforcement reform package. The no-knock ban is in section 8 of the attachment. Basically, it says the police can knock down your door after you have been notified of a warrant, and you refuse admittance. The new section says courts...

    Any News on Coonan Inc.?

    There seem to be no changes to the website. Has anyone heard anything new? Can we assume they are rigor mortis now? For entertainment, here's a shot of my Coonan Classic with Sarge's green burl grips.

    Lipsey's Ruger Birds Head Single Seven

    According to GunBlast, Lipsey's is coming out with another exclusive Ruger Single Seven revolver in .327 Mag. This time it's a fixed sight, Birds Head grip gun, with a 3.75" barrel. I'm a sucker for Ruger single actions. I already have a 5-1/2" Single Seven, and am starting to lust for this...

    Ruling loosens ban on owning guns after minor convictions

    AP News reports a divided 3rd U.S. Circuit Court has ruled in favor of two men retaining their firearms rights after criminal convictions. Both crimes were considered misdemeanors in their home states, while paradoxically carrying maximum sentences of five years (Pennsylvania) and three years...

    S&W Model 16-4 Found in Field

    One man's grail gun, another man's fodder. Two boys playing Pokemon Go in Washington state found a loaded Model 16-4, in .32 H&R Magnum, laying in a field. The gun is a little rusted, but given Washington's wet weather, couldn't have been out there long. Boys called and waited for the...

    9x18mm Mak: Berry's or Missouri Coated?

    I have six pistols in 9mm Makarov, including a polygonal rifled CZ-82. I've always relied on East European brands of ammo in the past. Recently, I bought a die set and some brass, more due to fluctuating availability of factory ammo than price. Seems factory price is currently dipping and...

    WA State: Federal Judge Dismisses Challenge to I-594

    SAF and Allan Gottlieb decided to challenge provisions of Washingtons universal background check Initiative 594 through the federal courts. Yesterday, the judge threw out the case based on a lack of standing. WA state has avoided arrests even when activists broke the transfer portion of the...

    New Coonan Compact Models

    Got an email from Coonan four days ago about their new Compact models. I was waiting for a story on their website to link, but they still haven't posted anything. Their website is uniformly horrible, and must be costing them business. That being said, I haven't seen anyone else post about...

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm

    GunsAmerica announced on their blog that Springfield is introducing their 1911 Range Officer in a 9x19mm model. They don't offer a lot of information, except that the new model will be the same size as the existing .45 ACP caliber Range Officer. From the picture, it looks like the new RO will...

    Will 100gr Gold Dots Expand When Fired from .32 H&R?

    I ordered 500 100gr Speer Gold Dot JHP from Graf & Son's. G&S only describes them as ".32". When they arrived, the boxes were marked for .327 mag. Trouble is, I don't own a .327, only .32 H&R mags. I want to load them with Alliant 2400 powder, at or close to max load. Speer only shows...

    Federal XM855 at Walmart

    Wow, I was shocked when I saw it there yesterday. Green ammo can, 420 rounds in stripper clips with the clip tool. $164.99. I jumped on a can. They had three or four more lined up behind on the shelf. Would have bought more except I'm broke. That, and I was there to buy my boy a bike. I...

    Lipsey's New Bisley 3-3/4" Blackhawk

    I've been drooling over this Blackhawk since I saw it on Lipsey's website. Lipsey's Guns 3-3/4" barrel stainless .44 mag, fluteless cylinder. It still weighs 44 oz. for a snubby, and the Bisley grip with the short barrel is sort of at odds with itself. It's scale is kind of like a...

    Anybody Watch "Falling Skies" on TNT?

    It's Noah Wyle's new post-apocalyptic sci-fi series. Lot's of great gun action. I wouldn't want to be the human resistance's armorer. They've got a hodge-podge of weapons, anything they can scrounge (probably realistic). I liked the talk between Noah, a former college professor, and his...

    S&W Model 631 Value

    I've been cruising local dealers looking for an used Model 649. I noticed a Model 631 in the glass case at a nearby pawn shop. It wasn't what I was looking for, so I didn't check it out too closely. Seemed in decent shape, had the 4" barrel and appeared to have the original finger-groove...

    Customs Agents Nab "Machine Guns" in Tacoma

    This is a classroom case of journalistic ignorance and gun-phobia, tripping themselves to a preposterous conclusion. The nearest I can tell is that Customs agents saved us from a shipment of orange tip-less airsoft guns. KOMO News Link
