I'd be curious to know if there is any actual LEO history of hits to the pelvic area with a handgun and how effective they were in "stopping" an advancing BG. My thought is, even if you missed the hip joint, it has to feel like someone kicked you with steel toe boots on. In my youth, I was...

I'm thinking of mounting a few handguns to the inner panel on my Champion Trophy series Tin Lizzy.......and I know I'm not supposed to do that and expose that sacred Inner Sanctimonious region...... .....but if it would otherwise do no harm, I would like to use a "bolt thru the inner panel"...

I'm interested to learn where folks choose to CCW their Glock G26.....

I see lots of Harley riders wearing T-shirts that advertise Harley dealerships from across the country. How about Gun Clubs and Firing Ranges that sell T-Shirts advertising their spot on earth? Does your club or range sell shirts? List it here with contact info and I may just start my...

While Americans are dying in Iraq and Afganistan, while innocents by the hundreds are dying at the hands of Islamist extremists, while women are threatened with whips and imprisonment for sitting next to a male outside their family, while Valentine's day is considered a terrible sin against...

Anyone successfully using a brand of powder measure that is reliable with ordinary Clays in a soft handgun load (3.8g-4.2g)? A recent search yields little information, but perhaps a silent knave out there has the Grail that I so seek.

This was published in the Sarasota Florida Herald Tribune this morning. I'll post it in hopes that some of you will further provide this gentleman a history lesseon by sending a comment to the newspaper. 'Individual right' to bear arms is a gun lobby myth The recent op-ed column by...

Note to Moderators. Unsure where this fits best. Please move and advise. From the NY Times, today. I'll bet that there are not a lot of law abiding Virginia gun owners in that mix. Full article text below. November 23, 2007 City Homicides Still Dropping, to Under 500 By AL...

I picked up some plinking .223 ammo recently and I was very much surprised to find a significant variation in OAL within the same box of ammo. See the attached photo. I normally reload, so maybe I just never noticed this before, but I have to wonder about this level of quality control in...

Is there an AR-15 optics mount available that will preserve the ability to use the A3 Handles's iron sights?

Rant. :banghead: At the range yesterday, trying very hard to poke small holes into small targets. Alongside comes three mall ninjas, with a single hi-cap 9mm pistol and a 100 round box of Wallyworld ammo. In goes a 17 round mag and the blasting begins. The cardboard is 28" square...

Bullets Bounce Off 13-foot, 1,000 Pound Alligator SEMINOLE COUNTY, Florida [NMT/WKMG] -- A 13-foot, 1,000-pound alligator considered to be one of the largest ever seen in Seminole County was captured after several complaints about missing pets in the area, Orlando television station WKMG-TV...

I own a Mossy 500 8+1 pump for use as a home defense shotgun. Does anyone know if a replacement barrel is available that would be more suitable for the occasional round of trap?

A friend dug out of her closet a S&W Model 67-1 revolver in stainless. In .38 Special, two screws that I can see, bought used some 12+ years ago. She remembers that it would misfire double action occasionally, but fire reliably when the hammer was cocked single action. I found the...

The relatively dimunitive S&W Chief's Special in 45ACP has caught my eye. Maybe a pocket or car gun. Maybe a safe queen, too, and that's ok, since I already seem to have lots of those. Any Chief's Special owners out there who would offer their opinion on this handgun?

I live in Florida, 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, in a community of zero lot line homes (i.e. tightly packed). Hurricanes are likely and the reality is that Katrina like situations could happen. All of my self-defense weapons are handguns (except .22s), with .45ACP being the predominant...

I find it interesting to know just how many rounds I send downrange each year, so I keep track in an Excel spreadsheet. It helps me predict my reloading and ammo inventory needs. And while it's really not a surprise to me, I still have to smile a bit when I see that over the past 12 months...

Toying with the idea of picking up a CX4 in .45ACP......as opposed to a short barreled Remington 870 tactical shotgun. The CX4 is more compact at approx. 30" in overall length versus 38.5" of an 870. And....... In my safe are a number of .45ACP handguns, 1911's mostly, so the idea of a...

I have various brands of powder at home that I would like to keep from falling into the wrong hands. Currently, these powders sit exposed on a shelf. I am thinking about creating a number of 1" diameter ventilation holes in this Sentry 5 gun RSC (see photo), adding shelves, and storing my...

(Posted also at www.rimfirecentral.com) Has anyone a favorite method for cleaning a Ruger 22/45 with it's polymer frame without taking it apart first? Please understand that I own 2 other Rugers, one steel frame MKIII and one 22/45 that I take apart and put back together regularly. I know...
