Went to my local bank this morning to make a deposit. (medium size regional state bank). I didn't use the drivethru, but went inside. Upon completion of my transaction, I walked outside and saw the bank courier exit as well and enter his vehicle. This gentleman is not with Brinks or Wells...

Had an interesting experience this weekend. I was teaching a CWP class here in west central Florida, and encountered several middle aged students ( in their late 50's), husband and wife. They both had an identical S&W model 10 .38 spcl. revolver. I thought to myself, how interesting and then...

I have two revolvers chambered in .44mag, they are the Taurus Tracker and S&W 629. I usually shoot .44 specials in them ,but will occasionally run a few cylinders of .44mag. I love both revolvers, but have also come across occasional specials offered by places like The Sportsman's Guide and...

As an NRA certified firearms instructor, I get to experience a vast variety of handguns that are shot by students at the range. A variety of direct feedback is gathered on a daily basis. ,both positive and negative. I think the greatest benefit is seeing the consistent feedback from a...

As an NRA firearms instructor, I have relationships with numerous gun shops who give me student referals as well as being a patron myself. It always amazes me how the retail firearms sales is so ridden with people who simply lack people skills and so are subjectively biased that they are...

I am very interested in hearing the experience others have had with this. Let me start of by saying that I am a huge collector of Soviet Bloc era mil surp, especially Simonov variants, Russian, Rumanian, Chinese, I don't care, I love them all. I was with a group of friends plinking at the...

I live in a large condominium complex in central Florida, so obviously I have minimal control over the common areas such as shrubs and bushes, and other vegetation. Don't get me wrong, everything is well trimmed and the landscaping is excellent, but some of the vegetation is tall and dense...

I just got my Nov/Dec 07 issue of American Handgunner and there is a fascinating article on muzzle flash. A famous criminologist does exceptional work with high speed digital cameras and incremental capture of muzzle flash. He uses a Ruger P85 for 9mm ammunition, A Sig P220 for .45ACP, He also...

:) Ok, I could not help it. I needed to see this film since this board has been buzzing with activity about this film. I will not give anything away that cannot be otherwise read in a movie text trailer or review. Two things right off the bat. 1. We realize that Jodie Foster is...

I had an interesting experience today with a 9mm bigot at a local gunshop. Let me first state by saying that I have been around guns all my life, have had well over 1000 students as an NRA certified firearms instructor, but I will be the first to say the following. 1. Ballistics is not an...

Ever wonder? 1. If the folks who ask whether a .357MAG or a .223REM can drop a bear think about the weight and size of the bear and if they realize that as with other living species, bears come in all different shapes, ages, mass, and sizes. 2. If the folks who belittle picatinny...

Threads on ballistics and stopping power/energy transfer/ energy dump/ momentum/velocity are very interesting., but here is what it boils down to and here is what I have learned from threads like these. I have read about a 1000 similar threads on forums like this. My summary of what I have...

I think I have decided on my next purchase. I have never owned a Spyderco product, but hear that they are phenomenal, both from civilian and law enforcement circles. I hear quality is exceptional. Here is the model in question. Love it aesthetically and the description. Feedback and...

After reading magazines like Gun Tests and Guns & Ammo, etc.,etc. I've been wondering recently if the testers actually take the time to break down the weapon and give it a throurough cleaning prior to testing. My guess is that they don't. Now I know that the point is to see how well the...

As an NRA certified pistol instructor, I get alot of students who are on a budget. Being in Florida, I typically encounter young students (over 21, college, tech school, vocational) and also senior citizens who are on a fixed income ( did I say Florida. lol). I have had hundreds of...
