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

    That's a great point. I'm probably in the same boat. Thing is, if the bad guys are moving away from you, it's a bad shoot.

    What did you shoot today?

    No live fire today. I got in some good time with my K6S and the Mantis. Shot from low ready, holster draw, and holster draw timed. I've been dry firing regularly since maybe June last year. At first I wasn't sure about the improvement. But when I take my timer to the range, I've seen scores...

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    I didn't vote. I currently have a couple AR-15s, had others in the past, and was issued a few M-16A1s/A2s back in the day. I also have a Mini-14. I take the Mini-14 out a lot more than the AR-15s. Although every AR-15 performed better than the Minis I've shot, I like the Mini better. As others...

    Poser M1 Carbine (I have no shame)

    Cool little rifle dredd. Twenty-twos are too much fun. Thirty Carbine ammunition goes for almost a buck a round.

    Looks like Paul Harrell is coming to the end of his road...

    I saw the video yesterday. It was sad. Y'all are making it worse. Paul will be missed. I hope his brother does well.

    I’m done buying “range bags”

    I've been using the diaper bag my MIL gave us since my wife decided it had too many pockets and wanted to give it away.

    What is this?

    What a cool rifle! What do the cartridges look like?

    A Holiday Quiz. A Choice of One Gun. To Defend Yourself In the Home ,On the Street or in the Wild

    I went with 10 mm Auto. I currently have a Glock 29 on my belt. I've carried it in the woods, at home, while shopping and traveling. It seems to meet the requirements of the question. Yesterday I had my Kimber K6S on my belt. Had I got online yesterday I might have voted .357.

    Probabilities or Worst Case Scenario?

    This has been very thought provoking. After reading over two pages, I find myself in the 80/20 area. Like @sgt127 alluded, you can hedge your bets. I will vary what equipment I carry based on the environment, climbing a mountain, crossing a desert, or running a river... but there is no single...

    Probabilities or Worst Case Scenario?

    Holster speaks volumes.

    Winchester Slide Action Shotguns

    Shotguns are plain fun. The narrator's laugh after that first shot made me smile. A "new" shooter showed up at the trap club today. He had shot trap before but admitted it had been a while. After the first station he turned around with a great big smile and said "This is fun!" Although I...

    Ricochet of a 0.25 ACP bullet

    After some research similar to what @Palladan44 describes, I have to concur. I saw .22 Long Rifle bullets penetrate a windshield even after having passed through rear window glass that had been shattered. What amazed me during that project was how much tougher windshield glass was in comparison...

    Kudos to Berry's bullets.

    Berry's has always been reliable. I usually receive my order in less time than it takes a lot of companies to reply with an order confirmation.

    New holder for GI Gerber

    Very nice! I should lay some leather by to make something like that. I just keep stitching my old one up. Thanks for the inspiration.

    2A & RKBA TATTOOS

    https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/what-have-you-done-in-the-reloading-room-today.830858/post-11787564 A few years ago I geeked out with my computer printer, chronograph, loading press, and a highly buba'd No. 1 Mk. III. No firearm related tatts though

    Would you fireform this case or discard?

    I voted to discard it. But that's only after I fire formed it then cut it with my Dremel to see what the neck looked like. Of course I'd post the results here :)

    Lake City Ammo plant

    With this in mind, I haven't heard much about the "new" 6.8 round the Army adopted. S'pose the current hoopla put a damper on that too?

    Took the SKS out today for it's maiden voyage.

    The SKS is a great little rifle. The front sight tool is a good idea. Shoot it more with different ammunition before you make adjustments. Slam fires are a thing, I think if you own an SKS and haven't had a slam fire, you haven't shot it enough. Thing is, when your SKS does decide to go full...
