    Where are all the cries about loss of civil rights today?

    I am confused. First, I have been hearing for years that there is no real terrorist threat, that Dubya has been using it as an excuse to rob of us our rights via the Patriot Act. I've also heard the mantra that NO possible act of terrorism could justify the creeping totalitarianism is the...

    How light are the rounds in real competition shooting?

    I shoot a lot of IDPA and know of guys who download their revolver rounds almost to the point that they don't make it out of the barrel (yes, we are not a stickler for rules in our local club). But, I was amazed watching one of the big competitions on TV yesterday how light the loads are. I...

    Bad experience with Barnes Triple-Shok X Bullets

    Got in some large-game hunting recently using Federal 7MM Rem. Mag 160-gr Barnes Triple-Shok X bullets. Shots were fired from 20-320 yards on light skinned large deer-like creatures with hits on bone, through lungs, heart, and muscle. Results, none of the bullets expanded beyond estimated 25%...

    Need some advice on a Spring/Summer hunt

    I may have an opportunity to go hunting this spring or early summer. A friend has invited me to join him on a hunt, but we don't know what to hunt. Just about all options are on the table. He has mentioned black bear in Canada. Also, any exotics in Texas are fair game (pun intended) and I...

    Do I need to tune my extractor (1911)?

    I cleaned my Kimber Compact Series I and Ultra CDP Series II tonight and followed by cyclling several full mags of live rounds through each. Both guns are officer-sized 1911's. The mags were three eight-round govt and one seven-round officer - all Wilsons. The CDP cycled each mag to...

    BB gun for 5 year-old?

    I told my son he would probably get a real gun for Christmas. I initially though about a .22lr, but I want him to be able to practice in the backyard, so I am thinking a combo .177 BB/pellet rifle. Requirements: needs to be light, as he only four right now (he'll be five in two months). Also...

    Gun ranges in Austin?

    I am temporarily re-located for several weeks to San Antonio due to Hurricane Rita, but will start working on daily basis in Austin later this week. There is another evacuee that is located in Austin. We both have or will have our entire complement of guns and wanted to find a good place in...

    Letter to my Congressman on the NO situation

    I certainly don't enjoy writing a letter like this, but felt it was necessary. I will check periodically with his office to see what is being done.

    I remember this guy. He used to be regular fixture at the store, which is the most popular gun shop in the area. This is really bizarro. Background story Updated story

    Jonesboro Murderer is free - should he be allowed to own a gun?

    I am just wondering the how 2A purists feel about this guy, who murdered four little girls and a teacher, enjoying the same legal RKBA as you and I now that he is out. Would you have any qualms about him visiting your local gun shop?

    September 2005 SWAT Magazine Cover Pic

    Forgive my ignorance, but the above referenced pic shows the A2 FH on the AR with the gas ports all oriented to the right. Won't this cause the muzzle to get pushed to the left, instead of down to compensate for muzzle rise? What am I missing here?

    Need some ideas for shooting scenarios

    I am needing some ideas for fun or otherwise investive shooting setups for a 3-gun match. Someone today mentioned using a falling silhouette hooked up to a pulley and cable. I'm not really sure what he meant. Anyway, these are the types of things I am looking for. Any help is greatly...

    Please recommend a bench rifle rest

    Right now I am using old bluejean pant legs filled with sand. Pretty pathetic. I need something for target shooting and zeroing my rifles. I prefer something that is adjustable. Thanks.

    1911 Magazine Questions

    Besides the obvious, what is the difference between the 7-rd and 8-rd mags that are designed for the govt. model? Is one more reliable? Does the 8rd. have a longer basepad? Are there any disadvantages to the flush-mount mags (as opposed to the ones with base pads)? I noticed that Wilson...

    A good holster makes all the difference

    I just got my Versa Max II for my Kobra Carry yesterday. All I can say is "Wow!" I have tried about three other IWB holsters for other guns, but none felt comfortable in the 3:00 o'clock position, so I had been carrying in the 12:00 o'clock. This is not recommended and not really a good...

    My first introduction to a JBT

    Your first time is always a shocker. At least mine was. It came yesterday when I went to talk to my Democrat redneck sheriff about signing my Class 3 form. Now, keep in mind that I brought these to his office over seven weeks ago and have called at least a half-dozen times. His secretary...
