I have one like yours. It is hard to shoot well, but when I am in practice with it, it shoots as well as any .22 pistol excepting a long bull barrel Browning or Ruger. The short sight radius and poor sights handicap it quite a bit. Have yet to get a miss fire after 500 rounds and shoots to...

The thing hunters need to really ponder is if CWD jumps to livestock. Deer will get culled by the millions if it can be proven to infect cattle. I hunted in CWD containment zones and never killed an infected deer. I have also eaten plenty I haven’t got tested. I still think Lyme is the scariest...

Sometimes I think a clean gun has a higher chance of malfunction than a dirty one. Meaning: I could take a gun to the range and put 50 rounds through it, load a mag of carry ammo and holster it. Its proven reliable. I could take the same gun home and clean it. Load it and holster it. There’s...

It’s always interesting to me that people consider land somebody else owns as “uninhabited”.

This is my plan and recommend it to others. There are guys that rarely shoot that keep 50,000 .223 on hand. I don’t understand that mentality and think its like the toilet paper mentality of 2020… except I assume they use TP. If you shoot 1000 rounds of 9mm a year (about 2 boxes a month), then...

This is awesome. I recently purchased 5000 rnds at Sportsmans Warehouse for $275.49. This is the best deal I found in a while. Adjusted for inflation, I can’t remember any deals like that in the last few years.

I write the date and price of ammo when I buy it on the box. Seems like 2017 was the time to stock. I am still shooting Remington UMC 9mm that I paid $10/box at Walmart and got a $5 rebate on each.

It was substantially lighter and handier than the Yugo I had. Even with Tech Sights it was basically a 4” rifle off the bench. The Yugo was much more accurate but I had little use for a 9# 7.62x39. I sold the Yugo this year with a couple hundred rounds of ammo for $700. They are certainly an...

I sold the 16” one that takes AK mags for $850 during the covid panic. It was handy but my AR pistol outshot it handily. Interesting guns and very ‘50s.

Is it true that there are 32-20 rifle loads and 32-20 pistol loads? I have heard it is tough to reload for but I am guessing its no worse than others.

Just be aware that your hypothetical fugitive may be better armed: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/09/13/us/danelo-cavalcante-inmate-search-pennsylvania-wednesday https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/gonzalo-lopez-numerous-security-lapses-escape-texas-inmate-killed-5/ A deer rifle could suffice I...

It is easy enough that if I am checking a bag, I bring a pistol. I use one of those cheap car safes and use the cable to lock the safe to the bag.

If S&W made guns in the same process they used to, I’m guessing your average guy couldn’t afford one.

I’ve only been to WA a couple times, but yes, most gun shops in even moderately sized towns across the country do all of the above. Maybe not the background check, but I imagine a store in the business of running background checks could come up with a way to run one. Obviously less regs are...

I should find out soon. I have balls, powder, flints, and a longer ramrod now. I just need my broken collarbone to heal a bit more and I’ll be ready to test it out!

It seems odds are the bad guy will have a full size pistol

I think guys who practice regularly out to 600 are more likely to make clean kills on game than your average hunter. Your average hunter can’t hit squat if he has to get off the bench.

I’ve never had a hangfire in a cartridge gun. The one I got in a hawken rifle using spit patches went into the sky. I should have waited longer. I dropped the rifle from level almost instantly and regretted it when the ball departed to parts unknown.

Not picking on you specifically, but “Justifiable homicide” is a concept that dates to the 1300s. It makes sense to me. Boils down to “murder is a sin”, so there needs to be a reason why a rational person responded with lethal force. I don’t think anybody was saying the homeowner wasn’t...
