    Firing a DA revolver in SA mode

    I find hitting what you are aiming at with a DA takes practice, and a lot of it. It's easier to shoot SA with a DA revolver. I find I shoot DA better with a 6 shot revolver vs a 5 or 7 shot revolver. It's easier for me to stage the trigger in DA on a 6 shot revolver. If you don't reload...

    For those of us who live in an open carry state

    Still unlocked? I like that OC is legal in most of MO it allows me to be a little sloppy with my concealed carry. I don't need to worry about printing or the bottom of my OWB holster sticking out under my untucked shirt. I don't need to worry about someone seeing my OWB carried gun when...

    Wood Body Armor Plates?

    I was chatting with my Deputy neighbor about his body armor, he wear rifle plates. His reasoning is most folks out here in the sticks are more likely to take shot at him with a rifle than a pistol. Making a broad statement, very few LE are wearing Kevlar these days. The majority are wearing...

    Colt Walker powder charge

    I don't own a Walker but I would fill the chamber with powder and dump that into your powder measure, to get a general idea how many grains the chamber will hold. Would I shoot a chamber full powder charge with a smashed / deformed round ball on top of it? Yes. Would I expect great accuracy...

    More knives from my misspent youth.

    Back in Jr. High, I wanted one of those boot knives (made in Pakistan) sold flea markets in the late 80's. I got one when I was in High School. What hunk of junk. Looks like they still sell em. https://www.swordsknivesanddaggers.com/7-1-2in-throwing-boot-knife-202801-collector-knives/

    What new rifles are most exciting to you this year? Or over the past year?

    Now they need to do that to the Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle.

    What new rifles are most exciting to you this year? Or over the past year?

    The Ruger SFAR was released in 2022. I'd been wanting one for awhile and picked this one up a few months ago. I like it. I'm fighting the temptation to buy an MP5 Clone. They have been out for awhile now and would make for a nice suppressor host...

    Doing my best to suspend disbelief of the actor pointing a hammer down 1911 in a movie, I think to myself he could using a Para Ordnance LDA 1911.

    ATF Raid on Airport Exec in Ark, update

    Going back to the case of Nagants, a C&R license would allow you to sell off the ones you didn't want to keep. Re the case at hand, the ATF had to act. The Airport exec was flagrantly violating the law - buying and reselling without a license, that they had to do something. Could they just...

    Any firearm can be used self-defense in a pinch. Do you agree?

    A frequent question on various black powder forums is... "Can I use my BP revolver for self defense?" I would say yes but have 2 of them loaded with cap, black powder and ball. If one doesn't go bang switch to the other. Back in 2001, when I lived in Illinois, I already had a bunch of defensive...

    1860 Army for me. I can lube the Arbor and shoot all week long before cleaning. My 1858 starts locking up quick.

    Opinions on a WESTERN style 45 Long Colt Six-Shooter Please

    Another vote to skip that one with the brass trigger guard. I have Uberti with a brass trigger guard and matte finish. I got it cheap - $250 NIB some years ago. I started with 357 / 38 special Uberti SAA's as I don't reload (I have in the past). 38 special historically has been almost as cheap...

    Carry Safety

    1st off - Glocks or striker fired pistols that don't have a manual thumb safety absolutely require a rigid leather or kydex holster that protects the trigger. That's the 1st rule of carrying a chambered striker fired pistol - it must be in a holster that protects the trigger. Soft leather or...
