    We are good friend with the lady that keep our dogs in her property when we are out of town, she lives in a rural community outside Seattle. We just came back from vacation this week and when we got our dogs back she told us they have a trouble black bear in the area...she recently started to...

    Any fellow Seattlelites?? We need to fight this proposed city legislation.

    Our newly elected Mayor is already busy trying to craft gun control legislation.....the proposal is to force homeowners to lock up all guns in the house (and holding them accountable if an unlocked gun gets stolen from your own house and used in a crime). The Mayor said that "all stakeholders...

    Firefield scopes....as good as Centerpoint at that price range??

    Please answer if you have direct experience (or if you know personally someone that did) with them, I do not need pointless, generic comments like "Chinese scopes are crap", "you get what you pay for", "cheap scopes are useless". These scopes seem to have the features (external turrets, zero...

    Centerpoint scopes lost features....suggestion for alternatives as good in that price range??

    I own quite few of the "traditional" Centerpoint Adventure class scopes sold at Walmart (the 4-16 40 ones) for 70 bucks. Unbeatable features and good quality for the money (mine are all perfect). The last one I bought was probably 4-5 years ago. I just purchased a bolt action 22 and when I went...

    Are the DA/SA pistols staging a comeback??

    This is what I heard from someone at the range, it seems to be a trend. Some gun writer and bloggers articles about it. https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/why-switched-double-action/ https://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/05/13/shooters-switching-back-double-action-autos/...

    I was getting the Bersa Thunder 380 itch then today I stopped at Walmart and checked ammo price....

    .....and I said no thanks!! Is this normal??? They had 9mm and 380 ammo from the major producers (Federal, Winchester, etc...) and without exception, the price of the 380 was basically exactly double across all brands!! I just looked at the FMJ ammo...I mean the 45 ACP was actually a hair...

    The future for gun owners in WA state

    The last resistance to total Democrat dominance in WA fell last week...and I do not see the situation reversing any time soon.....politically the state (and the city of Seattle) is getting loonier and loonier. Basically the entire west coast is now the new "blue wall", Democratic party...

    Handgun for my wife...suggestions...

    My other half has had no interests whatsoever in firearms....she shot firearms few times in the past and she may go to the range with me some other time...not holding my breath. She does not want to carry. I would like some suggestions for a handgun (semi or revolver does not matter) to put in...

    What are the current junk guns brands??

    Everybody is familiar with the Saturday night special, "Ring of Fire" guns of the past....Jennings, Raven, Lorcin, Bryco, etc... What are the companies that currently produce "junk guns"?? Jimenez for sure and so are the Chiappa 22 LR replicas I handled (1911 and M9) Can Hi-Points be...

    22 Long Rifle usage and reputation during the years.....

    Nowadays the venerable 22 LR is mainly viewed and used as a plinking/practicing/target round or to kill/hunt the smallest of pests. Too weak for any serious hunting (not to mention illegal in most places) or self defence. My question is, was it always that way?? Were millions of 22 LR rifles and...

    Pocketable/extreme concealed carry....small 9mm vs. snubnose 357..

    So far I'm very pleased with my Kel-Tec P-11 (owned for years)....pocketable most of the time. 12+1 capacity, +P capable, it eats everything, accurate enough out to 10 yards. I been wondering about getting a snubnose 357 as well for the same purpose so I would love to hear opinions and thoughts...

    What a sweet shooter....

    I been looking for a full size DA/SA combat pistol chambered in 22 LR for some time. In my experience usually they are either built like crap (converted blank pistols made with Zinc alloy with horrendous finishing, think Chiappa) or with flimsy plasticky construction like toy pistols or, when...

    Campfire chatting....Lee Harvey Oswald and the Carcano rifle...

    I'm sure this topic has been discussed a lot...but maybe I'm really bad at googling :) We have to assume that the result of the Warren commission is the truth on the JFK assassination, Oswald acted alone. Now, a couple of very simple questions: Why someone that wants to perform this kind of...

    Change of feature in Centerpoint scopes sold at Walmart...good, bad or no consequence?

    I had nothing but good experience with Centerpoint Adventure Class scopes sold at Walmart...I own quite few 4-16x40 pieces....they hold zero, glass is decent, fairly sturdy....sold for 70 bucks at Walmart including rings, lens caps and scope cover. The other day I did look at a recently arrived...

    Inexpensive SA/DA (or even 1911 style) 22 LR pistol

    I do want to buy a 22 LR pistol that is not a target model (I already own a S&W 22A) Ideally I would like a SA/DA trigger setup but I could go even with a 1911 style pistol. Barrel has to be over 4", ideally close to 5" or more. I was going to buy a Bersa Thunder 22-6, basically a Thunder 22...

    Mythbusters: bullet fired vs. bullet dropped video...

    I did watch this interesting video by the Mythbusters gang. I believe it is in 4 or 5 parts, first segment is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tiOmp1BE8Y I did not expect dramatically different results but I was a bit surprised that the fired bullet did not generate any kind of...

    I feel so stupid..I may have butchered my Bersa....

    A typical case of reading too much on the internet and thinking too little. I discovered on the slide of my Bersa Thunder 40, immediately behind the ejection port, some tiny dots yellowish in color which I thought were some sort of brass particles impact dots. I read that if you use a brass...

    Kel-Tec P11 strange barrel scratches...

    Some time ago I broke the ejector of my P11 (I would say at well over 1000 rounds count) I called the tech rep and mentioned a little tiny burr on the ramp of my barrel and what they would suggest to polish it (never gave me any problem anyway), he said he need it to see it and as we were...

    Ok, real life ballistic differences, 9mm, 380, 38 Spl +P, 357 Mag

    The first two out of a 3" semi auto the other out of a 2" (or 1.7") revolver. Defense HP loads. 9mm and 9mm +P 124 gr, 380 90 gr. 38 Spl +P and 357 mag 125 gr. I do not have a chrono yet and I have been bitten by the snubnose bug....so what are the realistic differences of these loads...

    Full size 22 LR DA/SA or 1911 style in steel or aluminium (no zinc/plastic)...

    ...from a reputable company at good price...there is anything out there?? Let me give you an example...Bersa stopped making their Thunder 22-6, I would have bought that in a heartbeat. The CZ Cadet (now discontinued) had a very steep price...more than your regular full size CZ-75. The...
