I have always been fond of the motto "your pistol caliber ought to start with .4" So I've had nothing but 45s and a 40 cal.. Right now my carry pieces are a glock 36 and an STI Ranger, both with 4" bbls and 6-7 rd mag capacity (x2 mags). But the price of ammo being what it is and hardly...

Having slept in yesterday morning, I woke to the sound of someone rapping on my kitchen window that faces the alley. Thinking it might have been a dream, I ignored it and tried to get back to my slothful slumber. Then it came again. **rap rap rap rap** I stumble over to the kitchen in...

if you legal eagles don't mind a question from a lay person.. what was the case that decided that a law enforcement officers don't carry the obligation to endanger their own life (and/or limb?) to save the life of a civilian?? I never can recall the names involved and all my searches come...

I had the pleasure this past weekend of being a judge at a UIL Regional debate tourney (former high school debater, I am). Saturday morning's edition of the local fishwrap (newspaper) above-the-fold story was a piece regarding the bill in the Texas Legislature allowing concealed carry on the...

This past weekend there was a gunshow at the local county fair grounds. I didn't have any plans to make any firearms purchases but I did have some spare .40 ammo to sell (as some may remember from my thread a couple weeks ago Sell it? or Stash it? A Seller's Market) as well as some bills to pay...

Anyone use(d) one of these? The reviews at Cabela's seem stellar for the most part. But I am usually suspicious about stellar reviews. It seems like it would be a decent addition to extend the effective range of the AR-15 and the price isn't too bad.. What do you guys think? Barska...

Hey THR! I had a situation a couple of weeks ago with my STI .45 which centered around a broken extractor. I was on the range and all of a sudden, my STI Ranger stopped extracting spent cartridges. It would feed, go bang but fail to even begin pulling the casing when the slide would cycle...

Last week I was parusing the Ammunitiontogo website and saw that they had rounds of 5.56x45 for sale. I called and confirmed that it was on hand. The woman who answered told me that if it was listed and could be added to cart, then they had it on hand. I went and placed an order for a lot of 500...

I ended up with just a handfull of 243 winchester brass after a trip to the range. I was policing up my own and this stuff was jsut sitting ther bright and shiny so I picked it up.. anybody want it? ps, what's once fired 223 worth?

So what if you had some ammo sitting around that you had nothing to shoot it in and no plans to buy anything to shoot it in? The ammo market conditions at present highly favor the seller. I know what I have in this little stash of .40 s&w. I don't really forsee myself buying anything new to...

I recently had occasion to be speaking to one of our fine West Point Cadets. Naturally the conversation began to steer itself to the topic of firearm and weaponry. So we got to talking about AR's. I asked him about how the 3 round trigger mechanism works and I asked him what the difference was...

Ok, I need to hear from owners of p99's. I have several questions. How do you like it? which model do you own? AS, QA, DAO, compact, full size? How does it shoot? Compared to other polymer framed pistols like the glock, xd, 24/7, etc? How do you like the trigger action? If you have...

"VEGETARIAN - Old Indian word for 'Bad Hunter'" This supposedly appears on a bumper sticker of a Palin Family 4x4. I want one!

Hey there reloaders.. I have a question about some brass I found. I found a good deal on new S&B .223 ammo. My pops has a dillon press (I think he still has it) and I was thinking about getting into the reloading business. My question has to do with how good is this czech brass for...

Ok fellas. I did it. I finally took the plunge and went out and did it. Thanks to Dubya's grand benevolence, I finally had the (disposible?) cash I needed to go out and get me my very own AR.. I've been pining over one of these babies for years, since, well, since Cornelius (Ed Norton) described...

So, I recently unloaded a pistol that I'd been trying to sell and it was the only one I had in it's caliber and now I have several hundred rounds of .40s&w (mostly target rounds e.g. monarch and umc fmj) stocked as well as a couple hundred hp's. Given that the price of ammo just keeps going up...

I've been hearing the phrase getting alot of mileage on these and other pro2A boards.. And it's got me to wondering. What do you call "cheap ammo"? More to the point.. what qualifies or elevates a certain brand of ammo above being "cheap"? I mean I typically see two price points for just...

I went into a gunshop the other day that I'd been meaning to check out for a while and I just so happened to amble in while in that part of town. I was in there for a few minutes and one of the clerks, a female in this case, asked me if I needed any help. I told her I was just checking things...

You can take his freedom away. Just a quote I heard on the X-Files just now. It ogt meto thinkin about the state of affairs in the world today and the arguement over whether a man, a free man, has the right to provide for his own defense, the right to provide for himslef in general. Got me...
