    Is Federal’s New 30 Super Carry a 32 ACP Magnum?

    While I salute the innovation, especially in this difficult age, I don't see this new cartridge as being "all that." Sure you may get a couple more rounds, but how many more is going to be dependent on overall size of the mag/weapon and most folks aren't going to want to CC a full-sized pistol...

    Axon wants to make handguns obsolete for manstopping

    That does help, as the barbs not being close together is essential, otherwise you just get a little pain, kinda like a drive-stun. Problem is, you need a certain distance to get that spread, the barbs aren't very accurate, bad guys (and good guys) don't tend to stand still, and there are WAY...

    Beretta 21A

    My first BUG was one of those (looked just like that one, wooden grips and all) way back in 1990 before I went to the police academy. I carried it for several years (and shot it A LOT ... probably WAY more than was ever expected). I loved it. In my AO backups were usually either .38 snubs or...

    Axon wants to make handguns obsolete for manstopping

    During my career in LE, I've seen pretty much every "less lethal" device fail in an epic fashion. Our Taser guy (who was NOT my friend and held a great deal of animosity towards me) insisted in my Taser certification that I had to take a "full ride" including being shot with the barbs and not...

    So, whatever happened to the "hot" gun control debate?

    I can't help but think that President Trump's rather open and undefined statement about being willing to sit down with gun-control advocates came when he knew this impeachment crap was gonna happen. Now the whacky left have shot themselves in the foot (pun) and I don't see them getting ANYTHING...

    .32 ACP notions...

    It has the two screws in the rear and looks like if I were to SBR it the stock would just attach right on.

    Goldilocks .380 ACP

    I used to carry a Kel-Tec P3AT for years as an OD/BUG piece. I shot it WAY more than it was probably ever expected to be shot and while it is still functional, I had to modify the take-down pin to keep it from walking out under recoil (this was after years and many, many, many boxed of...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    It's been a little bit (been an expensive year) but the last gun I bought was a S&W 629 .44 magnum, 3" barrel. As pretty as those grips are, however, they do not fit my hand (they seem to be pretty much One-Size-Fits-None near as I can tell). So I went for function over form and put a pair...

    Some Interesting CCW Permit Statistics

    Yeah! My home state rocks! :thumbup: ... well, insofar as RKBA, and gun-toting stats, anyway. ;)

    .32 ACP notions...

    My eldest gave me one (semi-auto "pistol" configuration with threaded barrel) for my birthday last year. :) I'd LOVE to SBR mine but I understand the wire stock really doesn't do much to stabilize it since it's so short you have to basically hunker down over the piece. Still ... yeaaahhh, I...

    Training For You

    Plenty have said this already, but I'll weigh in. There should not be any mandatory training requirement in order to use a right acknowledged and protected by the U.S. Constitution. Imagine: A state decided to mandate certain training that is only offered semi-annually, schedules it in the...

    What do you pay for a place to shoot?

    There is a shooting range fairly nearby, has a handgun range, rifle range, and skeet-shooting course. I think it's something like $12 to spend as long as you want (per person) on the pistol and rifle range. It doesn't allow rapid fire (up to the range safety officer as to what constitutes...

    Vietnam tomahawk?

    And the wonderful thing about public forums is that you can have your opinion and express it. I can manage to carry an item with which I am highly skilled and experienced and not cut myself. I cannot speak for everyone, however. You do you, boo.

    .32 ACP notions...

    Nice! Here's mine (photo quality isn't great). Obviously the finish is poor and the grips aren't original. Due to that, I got it for a song. Despite the exterior, though, it's quite the shooter and runs fine thus far with every .32 acp load I've tried. I toted it OD and as a rather large...

    Vietnam tomahawk?

    Ouch. "Incredibly stupid" seems a bit harsh. With the right design, I've carried tomahawks and hatchets in my belt with no problems whatsoever. Poorly designed models have left scratches or nicked clothing. When I carry it, I don't want to have to go through 5 steps to get to it (if I need...

    LCP takedown pin broke!

    I used a Kel-Tec P3AT (before Ruger came out with their mysteriously similar LCP) for years. I shot it A LOT, testing different .380 ammo for my old dept. as well as seeing what different rounds would do against cars, building materials, and generally any excuse to shoot up city ammo. :D My...

    Vietnam tomahawk?

    The Jujutsu system I've been training in for almost two decades happens to teach the tomahawk. Over the years, I have accumulated a few different designs, including a repro of the Viet Nam 'hawk. I have to say it's my least favorite to carry or use. That spike with the double edged, bladed...

    .32 ACP notions...

    Jar, the serial number on your Colt 1903 is only 788 ahead of mine. Ours may have been made in the same month! :) I tried to post a photo but botched it ... maybe later when I can figure out tech-NO-logy, eh? ;) As to the notion of cool .32 guns that'll never be made ... Hmm ... I'd second...

    WW2 Russian Sidearms

    Man! If they could sell those off (through a foreign proxy, of course) to U.S. Collectors, the Russian economy would get quite a boost! I mean ... I'd feel really bad and all but ... gimmie those Lugers! :D
