That happens all too often on some new pistols, especially those with tight tolerances. A prime example is Kahr, who even puts in instruction manuals to give them at least a 200-round break in period. 500 rounds though is a lot. I'd clean and lube the Sig up and run a few more boxes through it...

On big pigs, boys or girls, best shot location for drop-on-the-spot is right behind an ear. But, just in case their friends are not impressed, you might want to be in an elevated blind.

I have carried a handgun or some type whether rifle or bow hunting. After acquiring a Sig 226 a couple of years ago, I added a Streamlight TLR-2 and that set up has become not only the "nightstand gun" but also in a fanny pack as my "designated hunting rig". This past September, the farmer on...

Yep. To protest via ***** displays. Many of the commenters on the "event" Facebook page don't even seem to realize that, come August 1, handguns on campuses must still be concealed. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/10/10/ut-gun-carry-protest/

Shelves are hit and miss at Walmart in Highland Village TX. I "hit" a week or so ago for 100-round packs of CCI Standard Vel for around $8 per pack. Previous limit of 3 boxes had been removed. I snagged 5, with at least 20 more remaining. The local Academy has decent variety in small boxes ...

Ya, we switched to brass cased ammo real quickly! It seems that Ruger did not change the length of the cylinder very much, if at all, and the 9mm bullets have a lot more room to move forward, without protruding enough to hang up out front.

A reminder here in regard to some bullets in some cases "slipping the crimp". Smith and Wesson was the first I recall putting such warnings in their instruction manuals, especially on the guns in the 11 and 12 ounce range. From testing (load 5, shoot 4, then compare the last one to others in the...

I fondled one on both Saturday and Sunday at a gun show in Lewisville just last weekend. It was on a table of the biggest dealer at that show (SAW). The price was $489. Another dealer had one tagged at $499. With no more margins than many FFLs get at those shows, it tells me their cost is going...

Good for Georgia. Don't be surprised if Texas has something similar (possibly minus the bars) working its way thru the Legislature when in session again this time next year.

While pricey choke tubes can improve your odds, gobs of turkey have been killed quite dead way b4 such was ever invented with Plain Jane full or modified chokes. Just gotta get em to come in a little closer.

Yahoo/ABC seems to be trying to keep the gun issue at the top of their agenda with headlines such as "Bloomberg: I can outspend the NRA". Just as Obama became "Gun Salesmen of the Year" for several years in a row, it's looking like he and Katie may become the best recruiters in the USA for NRA...

Reliability would be my numero uno criteria. Years ago, I had a Glock 29 (10mm) and it ran fine with every brand except the Golden Sabres. Ya just don't know til ya shoot 'em. Beyond that, with the tougher jacket, I believe the Golden Sabres may be prone to a little more penetration and less...

Good Morning DNS! Had a little gunpower again to flavor up the coffee? ;) I suspect that NRA poster is probably the most common of any "short list of rules" in the country, yet, as pointed out by others, is somewhat different than Jeff Cooper's rules. I checked the size yesterday on my monitor...

Bearcreek "The LCP does not have a thumb safety." Comprendo. I've owned one since they came out. Please note the "thumb safety" was in reference to the .380 Bodyguard, very similar size and does have an itty bitty one.

The overall intent of the post is to keep people thinking, especially about the first 2 rules - in the midst of what may be "trade offs". The ones that worry me the most are those who may decide to ditch an LCP or Bodyguard .380 (with a thumb safety) in favor of the new Glock 42. Then continue...

DNS - That picture of the "NRA Sports" poster was placed front and center so the rules, as stated exactly their (our) way, would be clear in conjunction with further reading. An old friend from here has already injected his opinion in the first comment. It is hard to disagree with NRA Rule #1...

Just now beginning to get over the learning curve of some new software - which is often ruff for some geezers! This one may draw some differing opinions, but hopefully not as volatile as the last one when I mentioned the words OC. Some of us have greater priorities. ;-)...

I don't recall using the words "doom and gloom" (nor "wild west"). What I believe was clearly stated in the blog and again in post 10 was "very carefully worded in regard to signage". If such is not present in the next proposed legislation, THAT could very well be "gloom and doom" for prospects...

It seems that sumbuddy might best have concluded with post #12. Absent that (and the "snobs" injection), how about staying on the original topic and backing up the "nothing unique" assertion by providing us with a the text and a link to any state(s) current Penal Code that has size and...

A primary difference between circumstances in Texas and other states is the uniqueness of Texas' 30.06 signage requirements, which, as explained in the blog was implemented in 1997 to protect license holders. Note as well "very carefully worded in regard to signage". The bill that was filed from...
