I currently carry a Benchmade 14250. It's one of the H&K knives, and the black clip really blends into the dark suit pants I usually wear. I recently got a Benchmade 440 Opportunist to wear when I'm in casual clothes. It's a lot more slim and lighter, and the aluminum/wood handles with a...

There's a lot of well-intentioned advice in this thread, but most of it is pointless unless we cover some basics first: 1) What size shot are you using? A home defense barrel without a removable choke will always be Cylinder, meaning it has no constriction at all. This is fine for...

Looking for a varmint single shot rifle, preferably American-made, but not a Ruger, Remington or Winchester. I have guns from those companies already, would like to branch out a bit :) Calibers I'd be looking for would be .223 Rem, 22-250, .243 Win or 243 WSSM. Cameron

I have their most recent reloading manual, and it lists several powders, but not 2400. I will try giving them a call. Cameron

1KPerDay: Are you willing to buy used, or brand new only? Are there places near you where you can try some different guns out? In that price range you have quite a few choices. Brand new you can get the Franchis as well as the Winchesters. Used then the whole gamut of Brownings and Berettas...

+1 for separating your brass by headstamp. Maybe not by company and year, but you have to separate them by company. Cameron

Since we have a lead-free ban in California many have turned to the fine copper bullets Barnes Bullets makes. I have a Ruger GP-100 (4" barrel) that I wish to pair with a lever-action, both in .357 Magnum. Now I know that Alliant's 2400 is the go-to powder for .357 Magnum for many people...

I've noticed that the people that have trouble with their Safariland speedloaders are all using the Comp I. I don't know of a single person that likes their Comp I's, at best they are neutral about 'em. The Comp II's are where it's at. Comp III's are just too large to conceal, so for everyday...

Perhaps a better way to approach this is: 1) What will the gun be used for and how often? 2) What is your budget? 3) What other shotguns do you own? Cameron

JoeFish, what part of Southern California do you live in? I'm a member of Triple B's in South El Monte, off the 60 and 605 freeways, as well as West End Gun Club up near the 210 and 15 freeways. Triple B's is a full-fledged clay shooting park with Trap, Skeet, the Olympic versions of both...

Huh, I've always shot my rifles and pistols with one eye closed. Although, the eye I leave open is my dominant eye, so maybe that's why it never bothered me. I shoot all my shotguns with both eyes open though. Cameron

I'll be looking into a Smart Carry as it seems to be a great way to conceal while in business attire. If that doesn't work than the belly band up under your armpits would be an option too. Cameron

That and they can't be mistaken for real ammunition. Cameron

Ah, thanks for all the info, I'll stick with 2400 then :) Cameron

I'm getting geared up for reloading .357 Magnum and wanted to see what y'all thought of these two powders for .357 Magnum. Anyone like one over the other, and why? Cameron

bugkodee: 200 rounds through any gun is hardly a test of its reliability. Cameron

I'm continually amazed at how often this comes up. I think the conundrum people get hung up on is "potential incapacitation" versus "probable incapacitation". If you are operating on the "potential incapacitation" theory, then get a pistol in .22 LR. You can bring down an elephant with a...

Oh, zombie uprisings! Well, for that you need to read "The Zombie Survival Guide". :) bmxr4life87: The spread at 10 feet is only about 4". Hardly "wall to wall". Keep in mind anything that misses and hits a neighbor or their property you are responsible for. Cameron

Davandron: Forget all that baloney about you having the wrong gun. I take it you have only shot a few rounds of Skeet. If this is true, keep shooting for awhile until you feel that your potential is limited by the gun. In other words, don't blow good money that could be spent on more...

Shotgun Dave: What will this shotgun be used for? If it's hunting, and you don't get a lemon, than you should be okay with either gun. As others have mentioned, the prices you have are high. Go to www.budsgunshop.com, they have some of the best prices around. I had an itch to buy a...
