Just curious... how many of you will grind on your gun? For the sake of conversation, lets say it's a nice gun that cost you $1000. It does everything just like it's supposed to, but it has a sharp edge that's uncomfortable and simply rounding that edge would make it better. Would you...

The .44 Magnum is an interesting thing. Elmer Kieth worked it up and somehow got Smith And Wesson and Remington both on board to make it real. He did all the work and deserves all the credit. But then Clint Eastwood made that movie, and Inspector Harry Callahan so impressed everybody with his...

I found a deal online, and got myself a "Tanker Holster". I tried it on, and it seems like it might be a fun way to carry the pistol... Except for one thing that bugs me. It turns out that the retention strap that's supposed to keep the thing from falling out runs right across the grip...

Here we go with another shooting. And we know there's gonna be more attacks on the second amendment. And we know that whatever the grabbers do isn't going to make any difference at all as far as mass shooting go. So, why don't we propose something that might? In the most recent case, the guy...

Ok, this might be a silly question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I have seen some guns before with great triggers on them. On lots of those, there is an adjustable stop that prevents the trigger from over traveling after the sear releases. But I have NEVER seen that on a single action...

So I'm looking at rifles on the internet, right? I see some stuff that I would REALLY like to own. But here's the problem. I've never even SEEN a Cooper rifle. I don't know anybody that has a rifle like that. There's no way to rent one. How am I supposed to know what's better and what's just...

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one... Sometimes I just like to handle and admire my pistols. I always clear them, and don't just point them around at things. I'm not a "Dry Fire" guy, either. Yes, I realize that many accidents (OK-N.D. for those guys) have happened while "Playing with my...

My wife's vision is very poor. She is "Legally Blind". She can't sight a gun. Lately, she has been telling me that she feels defenseless when I'm not home, and wants me to leave a pistol out for her. I'm a little reluctant to do that. I've been giving some thought to setting up a pistol...

I have recently acquired a Winchester 1200 pump 12 gauge. It's apparently from 1969 or 1970 (Records aren't complete from that era, it's a guess based of average production per year) and it was unfired when I took possession. This thing is literally brand new, with a few small handling marks...

"All guns are always loaded" It's one of Jeff Cooper's four rules, and it seems to bother some folks. Quite often it causes a ruckus when somebody mentions it, and an argument ensues. I've seen this many times, on several different forums, and the first reply is usually "No, they are not. I...

Yeah, I know... That big, evil, money grubbing conglomerate bought out Remington and everything went to crap. So here's my story. Back in 2005 I bought a brand new Remington 11-87P shotgun. It's the semi automatic riot gun with the ghost ring sights, and it's a riot to shoot. I love the...

I mean, really. This is America. If somebody does us wrong, We sue their pants off, right? Well, in my mind the gun grabbers have been doing us wrong pretty much non-stop for quite some time now and it needs to stop. Who can't say that the grabbers have interfered with their right to life...

I have a friend with an Ithica 37 Featherweight. It's having problems extracting fired shells, and inspection shows that the hook on the extractor is worn/bent. A new extractor was found at Numrich, and after you tubing at it for a while we finally got the bolt out of the shotgun. So...

This time of the year, I find it useful to focus on some of the things I'm grateful for. It gives me a reason to shift my perspective away from all the things I'm not so happy about, and to give thanks for the things that are good. Obviously, because The High Road is a gun forum, This...

I was rooting around on another forum, and I bumped into an old thread about riding motorcycles while armed. (It's a motorcycle forum) In this thread, there was discussion about holsters and such, and what works and what doesn't. Quite naturally, some of the forum members came into the...

Last Night I was sitting in a restaurant with a group of friends. One of them (Who often admits to being afraid of "assault weapons" and wants them banned) brought up the Boston bombings. I waited until just the right moment in the conversation, and then tossed it out there- "yeah, it's...

I was thinking about this term when I heard somebody say it the other day at the gun show. Sure, we all know what it means... or do we? I think there's something missing in this saying. Yeah, we know that LOAD means "Put bullets in the gun". And turning the safety on LOCKs the slide...

I've seen it. You've seen it. We have ALL seen it. Somebody says "Rack the shotgun, the bad guys will run away." Then, 20 people will post up with all sorts of tactical advice. And it goes on and on and on... Let's get to the bottom of this! First, the rule: DO NOT VOTE FOR WHAT YOU...

I helped a buddy build an AR recently. It's a DEL-TON mid length heavy barrel on a DPMS lower with a Rock River trigger and lower parts kit. It went together just fine, and shoots pretty good too. It's had about 200 rounds fired through it, and I did the rifle's first clean and lube...

I have a friend's pistol over here. It's a Browning High Power, made in Belgium, serial no. is 73C93XXX. It's missing the rear sight. Apparently there was part of the original sight still attached to the slide, but some of the adjuster pieces had fallen off and the base of the sight was...
