Shot between the eyes with a .44 magnum. The bullet bounced off his skull. http://cbs13.com/pets/big.bear.problems.2.1320530.html

I don't know why this crossed my mind. Obviously there is no sound in space because there is no atmospheric gas to transmit waves. But say you take a short-barreled .357 or .44 mag into orbit and then get out of your orbiter and fire the thing. Will you feel (hear) some sort of pressure wave or...

I just received a Ruger Redhawk 4" .45 Colt and looking down the bore the twist grooves seem rather light, lacking depth. This is especially in comparison to my 625 Mountain Gun also in .45 Colt, which has relatively deep twist grooves. They stand out when lit. The Redhawk grooves do not. The...

I've been under the impression for some time that if a shotgun has a pistol grip, that the overall length has to be 26 inches and the barrel length at least 18 inches. Midwayusa is saying that with a pistol grip the barrel must be 22 inches...

Occasionally I review my older ammo stocks to compare it with the latest, most up-to-date technologies. I have a couple boxes (50) of the Corbon .38 Sp +P+ loaded with 115 gr 9mm bullet. It rates at 1250 fps out of a 4-inch barrel. Apparently this is an old load because Corbon does not...

A neighbor of mine had told me about his prized Kimber Custom 1911 and promised to show it to me. After several years, he got around to doing just that. He doesn't shoot much and it was a fluke that he ended up with the Kimber. But he brought it over in a nice Bianchi bag and set it on the...

It's not so much that I need to do this, as I already have both another Speed-Six in .357 and likewise a Security-Six in .357. But I also have one in .38 that I picked up used years ago that I've decided I'd like to convert to .357, if not just for the sake of standardizing on ammo. I...

I bought a S&W model 411 back in the early 90s, which later became the model 410 after the Clinton fiasco that reduced max rounds to 10. The 411 came with 11-round magazines and there were a few other minor differences. When I bought the gun I also got extra mags so I had a total of four. I...

Maybe this has been brought up before, but for a long time I've wondered why the NRA website doesn't make available more than the current month's stories of The Armed Citizen. At most they carry only a few newspaper stories from around the country. It seems they would make everything available...

I got into a discussion the other day about private handgun transfers in the state of California and it reminded me that almost thirty years ago I sold a handgun to a co-worker privately without any third party involvement. I wasn't up to speed on firearms laws at the time, so I was wondering if...

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this or not, but here goes. I have a S&W model 411. That's a .40 cal similar to the 4006 and uses the same magazines. I have four 11-round magazines. The gun is very reliable except with one magazine and when this particular magazine is...
