    Book Review: Mas Ayoob's "StressFire"

    I've read "Stressfire" several times, and also find "In the Gravest Extreme" to be the overall best book on the role of the gun in self defense. I've given my son, a college student majoring in Homeland Security, copies of both "Stressfire" and "In the Gravest Extreme." Thanks to jfruser for a...

    Ruger GP 100

    Keeping the GP100 club going Just yesterday, I got my first GP100. It looks like a black 1952 Buick Roadmaster. 1) What do you own: blued GP100 in 4 inch full underlug with fixed sights. 2) What grips do you use? Factory, they fit my hand beautifully while dryfiring, I'll take it to the range...

    Word about Mika's Pocket Holsters From The Man Himself

    My Mika pocket holster is far better than any of the four others I own. His quality and service had already impressed me. Now I read this. A quality product, a quality man.

    Let's Help John Stossel

    I posted my reply. In doing it, I found a great quote some of you might like. A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. -- Sigmund Freud,

    How many rounds do you shoot at the range on average?

    I go at least once a week and shoot a hundred rounds. I'm not a firearms expert, but I do know quite a bit about how people learn skills. Constant repetition does the trick. If someone goes to the range every day and shoots 25 rounds, they'll improve faster than if they go once a week and...

    Carry while in the house?

    I carry in the house. I'm carrying now. Several months ago, I heard the door knob rattle so I called out, figuring it was my son home early from college. As usual, I was carrying my snubnose in my pocket. I put my hand in my pocket and walked to the door, carefully looking through the side...

    Shooting with both eyes open

    Make a very small circle, smaller than a dime, with your index and thumb, then hold your hand out at arms length, both eyes open, until you can just see this: X Then close one eye. That ought to do it. The eye that sees it is dominant.

    Safe Carry Question

    The "B" in "CZ75B" stands for "blocker." They have a firing pin blocker that stops the fp from moving unless the trigger is depressed all the way to the back. It's very unlikely that letting the hammer slip forward, when your hand is off the trigger, would result in a discharge. Somehow the fp...

    Let's educate Mitt Romney about Assault Weapons Bans

    I wrote Mr. Romney after watching him on "Meet the Press." I heard him say he did not always support the NRA and that he thought there should be a ban on "assault weapons," so I wrote telling him these two statements would preclude me from ever voting for him. Here was his response: 'Thank...

    What did you get for Christmas (gun related) [threads merged]

    I got another year's membership at my local range. Last year's membership saved me enough money to buy a Beretta Bobcat and a Lee handloader.

    Bobcat vs. Tomcat reliability differences

    I've got a 21A Bobcat .22lr. I didn't carry it until I found what ammo it liked and shot a hundred rounds through it without a misfire. I found either CCI Stingers or Minimags did the trick. I rarely carry it by itself, but do carry it crossdraw as a back up that I can get to quickly while...

    Best pick for pocket carry snub - hammerless, shrouded hammer, or regular?

    A buddy of mine made an interesting comment about hammerless guns like my wife's 642. He said in extreme close combat, someone grabbing for your gun could possibly stop a hammer from cocking, preventing you from firing. That wouldn't happen with a hammerless.

    Will YOU boycott microstamped pistols?

    Robert, I think it's that, plus I suspect that the folks who have developed and patented the microstamp technology are big Dem contributors.

    Green Reloading: Granola Ammunition

    Funny you should mention this. I happen to be developing a type of nut that, when properly dried, would make an excellent non-toxic, environmentally friendly, politically correct explosion tube projectile (the term "bullet" is politically incorrect). In order to continue my research on these...

    Which is the better technique?

    I practice weekly, usually 150 rounds. We belong to a range so I can go whenever. Sometimes if my schedule permits, I'll run by and knock off a quick 50 in additon. I feel a positive difference if I've put in a couple of weeks going more than once, but I feel a bigger negative difference if I...
