Is anybody familiar with Guns and Hunting, a magazine that was published (at least) in the 1960's? I picked up a few old issues of this magazine from the late '60s, but I am not familiar with it. It looks like it was published by Maco Publishing Company, Inc. out of New York City. Anybody...

I'm not that familiar with the Saiga conversions, but it is my understanding that until now to use AK magazines in a Saiga rifle, there was a fair amount of work involved. Is this accurate? If so, these new rifles seem to change things a bit. It looks like the basic IZ132 will now have...

My Google skills seem to be failing me. I hope someone here can set me straight. I've been told that some states automatically grant a concealed weapon permit to victims of domestic violence. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so what state(s)? Links would help also. Thanks...

Well, I guess Ruger is releasing the SR45 pistol after all. Information on the new pistol here and here. What's everyone think? 10+1 rounds sounds good to me.

Sig has updated the P226 and P229 pistols, offering them as an "E2" model with reduced grips, new texture, short trigger, etc. Pretty cool, IMHO. I love my P226, but it really is too big for my hand. One of these will be just the ticket, I think...

Maybe I missed a thread elsewhere, but has anyone else seen that Glock is now announcing their 4th Generation of pistols due out in 2010? http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2009/10/21/fourth-generation-glock-adjustable-grips/ Looks like adjustable grips (aka interchangeable backstraps) are...

Does anyone have any additional information about this? Glock Adjustable Grip Models Announced GT Distributers said they got word from Glock that they were bringing out adjustable grip Glocks late 2009/early 2010. This announcement was made at a police supplier convention. I tried calling...

The Charter Arms Rimless Revolver has been delayed until July. I have been very eager to see how this thing is engineered (using rimless cases without the need for moon clips). Now I just hope it is not vaporware. They didn't show any at SHOT, and now shipping has been pushed back several...

I saw that a Gallup survey has shown that support for gun control is at an all-time low. While this is good, it looks like we still have a lot of work to do. 49% of those surveyed believed more restrictions on gun sales are needed! Argh!:banghead: At least the trends are in the right...

For those of you near a range where you can rent a full-auto MP5, stop whatever you are doing, and rush over to the range right now! I just had a chance to shoot a full-auto MP5, and I think that was one of the more exciting things I have ever done outside of the bedroom! Recoil is...

I just read this: Sports Injuries: Hunting Has Lowest Incidents of Injury It would seem that the Unified Sportsmen of Florida compiled all of the stats on sports related injuries, and the folks hunting with guns are --by far-- the safest. Now, I always figured that to be true, but this...

I've done a lot of reloading with some Dillon SDB's in the past. A few moves, states, and wives later, I am without most of my original loading equipment and I am starting over. Having used just the SDB's, I've never had to "think" about die sets, since they were all included. Now, I am...

Hi all, I am trying to find a good, light .38 load to shoot from my S&W 642 revolver. With 158gr SWC and any +P ammo, it shoots fine. However, I recently tried to find some easy shooting (less recoil) loads to shoot in it. I tried a couple of different commercial 148 WC loads, but the darn...

I looked around and didn't see another thread on this. If I missed it, sorry! That being said... Georgia has a new law that goes into effect on July 1. The law reformed the concealed carry law, and now CCW permit holders can carry a firearm onto/into public transit (among other locations)...

Another gun buyback is happening this weekend. This one is in Austell, GA (just outside of Atlanta). One of the sponsors, State Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan, wants to "raise awareness" about violence in the community. Other elected officials who have contributed to this buyback are Cobb County...

I have run into several different families emptying out their garages and come away with some older rifle ammo that might have some collectible value to it. I know some people like collecting old ammo, but I have no idea if any of these items may have any special value to them. Any ideas...

I was talking to the owner of a local range recently about reloading. He normally gathers the "leave behind" brass and sells it to a commercial outfit whenever he has a few 55 gallon drums. He let me take some home, and refused to take money for it. Since I expect component prices to...

It seems that Bob Barr has formed a committee to explore the possibilities of running as a third-party candidate. I like the guy and what he stands for, but I don't know if enough people will rally around him to make a difference. From what I have seen, he is definitely pro gun, which is a far...

What causes double feeds in semi-auto handguns? I recently picked up a S&W M&P (full-sized/9mm). The first 100 rounds of Federal 115gr +P+ ran fine. The next 60 rounds of Speer 147gr Gold Dot was also 100%. I tried 20 rounds of reloaded 9mm (local source) and got two double feeds. I...

I purchased a Sig P226R with the DAK trigger less than a year ago. It was brand new when I bought it and I have put less than 750 rounds through it. I paid about $750 for it. I dropped by a local gun shop today and was looking at some of their new guns. I found one I liked and the price...
