Hi All, First off, while I do happen to know a lot about firearms, I admit that there's even more that I don't know. So, long story short, my firend stumped me with the question of why the Ruger Mini-14 is self-cleaning? His reference was from Wikipedia that quotes: "the rifle employs...

Okay here we go, as many of you know the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004 allows qualified law enforcement officers and qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of any state or local law to the...

Recently picked up an excellant condition used Bond Arms Texas Defender in .357 mag., more as a BBQ gun than a primary carry. Haven't shot it yet, but I suspect that it's going to be a whopper. Anyway, one of the features that also made it attractive is the interchangable barrels for...

I was visiting Gunblast.com and noticed that during a tour of the Ruger factory, they had a picture of a 10/22 trigger housing made out of polymer instead of aluminum! Does anybody know anything about this? Meaning, are near future 10/22s going to evolve/de-volve into Remington Nylon 66s...

Need a little bit of help here, and to double check what SAAMI states about +P+ ammo. I just got my brand new S&W 642-1, from the latest limited run, and have yet to take it to the range. I also have a whole bunch of Federal Hydroshock +P+ ammo that I've been feeding my Ruger SP101 chambered...

Hi All, Just wanted to give the heads up to anyone that has a Charles Daly Hi Power and was thinking about putting on one of those FM Detective kits sold by SARCO. It does not drop in (barrel won't tilt and diengage from the slide), and after speaking to my local smith, the effort in...

Alright, THR members, it's time for some trivia. What modern day firearms companies are still actually owned/operated by their original founders, say within the last 12 years? For example, Kel-Tec is run by George Kelgreen (who had also operated the now defunct Grendel Firearms), while...

Looking to pick up the carbine version of the Taurus Model 72 in .22 Mag. Does anybody have one? and how does it rate for accuracy, reliability, and durability? There doesn't seem to be too many options on the market now for fast handling (carbine length, semi-auto) shooters in this...
