This is probably a newb question, but here goes anyway. I was checking out this site: http://www.handgunholsters.net/gun_holsters.html and it occurred to me that since we have drop-thigh holsters for handguns, doesn't it stand to reason that drop-thigh holsters for handgun magazines could be...

For some reason, I come into contact with many people that try to convince me that the Desert Eagle is a good choice for a combat sidearm. It's not. It's gas operated, it doesn't cycle well with lower-powered rounds. It's bulky, it's heavy, it's got a relatively low magazine capacity, it...

So, for fun, I'm going to make a little gun animation in Flash. Maybe it'll be used in a game or animation eventually, maybe it'll just be to hone my Flash skills, maybe I'm just bored. Anyway, I need the following, all side view. Quality doesn't need to be great. AR-15 pistol grip...

So, I'm going off to college next year. No military experience, no LE or soldiers in my family. Is small arms a field I can get into? What sort of major should I go out for? Mechanical engineering? What impresses employers? Do small arms designers get paid well? What do I need to know...

So, I've always heard that a good .44 Magnum or a 12 gauge is a good bear defense weapon. But then I got to thinking--what about .50 Beowulf? I mean, if you really consider it... why not? The AR-15 is a lightweight rifle. You get four to ten rounds per magazine, and it's quicker to reload...

So I was perusing through Wikipedia, and I came upon this. Now, the citation doesn't link to the cited article, so can anyone confirm or deny the validity of Bill Cosby being a CHP holder? I've always liked Bill Cosby, great comedian and a very level-headed guy IMO, rightly named America's...

I've seen all sorts of RISs, from 7" continuous ones, to 12" ones with a break in them for a front sight, to the longest I've seen, 13.5" RISs. I was wondering... why isn't there an RIS that allows for more RISs to be snapped onto it, allowing an extension of the RIS as a whole? Think about...

Thread title says it all. How accurate can an AR platform rifle get? For the purposes of this thread, I'll define AR-platform as any semi-automatic AR-10/AR-15 derivative weapon, and their gas-piston cousins. Please post the caliber of your weapon, its best grouping, and also what parts...

For the purposes of this thread, let's define EBR as a detachable magazine-fed semiautomatic rifle. Anyway, we've all seen .308 EBRs of all shapes and sizes--PTRs, FALs, AR-10s, and so many others. But how come there's a relative farce of .30-06 sports-utility rifles? All I'm aware of is the...

Be honest, and please tell me how I did. I'm aware that I used obscene language, but that's just how I type. Kids these days! :rolleyes: ------- Me: well it all goes down tuesday Her: whats tuesday? Me: the supreme court will hear the case heller vs columbus i hope that it will be a...

S&Ws 10mm 610 is back in 4" and 6.5" versions. They can also fire .40S&W rounds, making it more economical to shoot for those that don't reload. I heard about it on 10mmtalk, and many are very excited because it used to be a gun that you could only buy used, if you were lucky. What does the...

I watched a recent History Channel documentary on American skinheads, which focused on the fact that these people are more subtle in their methods. They also, unfortunately, are imitating Hitler in that they are trying to get power legally--at one point in the show, a skinhead was talking about...

Generally, most gun owners and hunters in America seem to come from a long line of American born and bred hunters and gun owners. While it's always good to keep positive traditions alive, how much new blood comes into hunting or gun ownership really? You don't often see immigrants getting into...

Last year, I was given a very stern warning by school admin (after being taken down to the office by security, no less) and threatened with suspension after I had a few (three or four) pictures of guns in my notebook. The guns were not be aimed at anyone, or even wielded by a person. There...

Do any such rifles exist? I think that such a rifle, or shotgun for that matter, could bridge the gap between a sport-utility semi-auto and a more classic lever-action. It would be nice to have one in .30-30, .44 Magnum, or 12 gauge. Thanks

Do you carry with a round chambered or not? I'm sure that GLOCKs are great carry guns, but the lack of any external safety devices is a bit worrisome to me. If you carried with a round chambered, a small accident might kill you or another innocent person. But without a round chambered, you...

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=295&invol=495 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schecter_Poultry_Corp._v._US In a nutshell, the SCOTUS said it's unconstitutional for the government to fix prices through any means. The FOPA MG Ban effectively sky-rocketed the price of...

A good article. While the author says she doesn't need or want a machinegun, she says she wants to be able to own one if she wishes to do so. http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_lindsay__071007_gun_control_3a_does_th.htm

Well I was looking at the Benelli M3 with the folding stock and I was thinking, how neat would it be if it could use detachable magazines rather than an internal one? Knoxx offered a kit to make the Mossy 500 accept detachable magazines, so is it totally out of the realm of reality to get an...

There are many times when, for whatever reason, you are caught "with your trousers down" - unarmed. As such, it's always a good idea to educate yourself in manners of defense not requiring a weapon beyond those that we receive at birth. I'm a student of Kenpo and in my free time seek...
