    How many mags per gun do you accumulate?

    Many. 2 in car, 2 in truck, 2 in nightstand, 2 in belt pouch,...you get the drift. Or maybe 3, if they sold pouches that held 3. Inventory is useless without deployment. (Remove 2 from carry-on, check.) This way I can move around with pistol without lugging everything with it. And then...

    Would you sell your first gun?

    Never thought of keeping or selling as a "policy" issue, so I'm coming into the discussion a little indifferent. My first gun was a Daisy Red Ryder. I wore that thing out so it could hardly push the BBs out the barrel, that is, unless I tilted the rifle and it simply rolled out. Many moves...

    Loaded Home Defense Gun(s) and Kids - Is it possible?

    When I was training to qualify for CCW, one of the unforgettable points I took away was my responsibility for securing my firearm, to the extent of it being the *fifth* of the the usual four gun safety rules. I believe this pertains to everyone, but that everyone has a unique situation which...

    House Gun Opinion?

    Survey was closer than I thought. Without going into details, I simply feel more comfortable and secure with a 1911.

    How to Defend High Capacity Magazines Without Looking Like An Insensitive Moron.

    here's the link to the home invasion. http://www.kvoa.com/search/?sterm=home+invasion+caught+on+tape&sbutton= And by "standard capacity" you do mean 30 rds for ar15s as police use? Because various police dep'ts have FA M4s, just FYI.

    NPR says no pro-gun person will come on the show

    Actually, everything here is empty rhetoric. And yours is a great point. I volunteered with various agencies in both VA and AZ, where I now live. I make friends at the range and compete regularly, even if on a social (meaning my scores suck) level. And I invite friends who have not had the...

    NPR says no pro-gun person will come on the show

    ...and then there's the view that what we are seeing at this time is "knee-jerk" which by definition is reflexive, and irrational. It would therefore be difficult to see "reason" or "rational arguments" from the rabid extremists. Think about it, many anti-gunners fear gun owners like they...

    NPR says no pro-gun person will come on the show

    Well-put. Then let me add "bully-proof" to the attributes, as well. Point is, if we are to go into the lion's den, then we better bring enough of whatever attribute we need to slay that lion.

    NPR says no pro-gun person will come on the show

    Who did Pogo say the enemy was? If anyone wants to go out and spar with the NPR, Pierce Morgan or any other show host/anchor, whatever, they better be as skillful, intelligent, quick-thinking and articulate as their opponent. If you think simple adrenaline is going to make you jump into...

    Quite possibly the dumbest article printed yet

    This happened in VA about 5-6 years ago (not sure) when some local paper, under the guise of "informing the public" published a list of CHP holders. Trouble was, they also included public officials, people who were in undisclosed addresses because of pending cases (uh,oh) and.....get this...

    How to Defend High Capacity Magazines Without Looking Like An Insensitive Moron.

    This thread has developed such divergent issues I had to break my reply into 2 posts. As a human being I have a right to life. It follows I have the right to defend my life and those of others who depend on me. I live in AZ. Press releases from the gov't, military and police agencies...

    How to Defend High Capacity Magazines Without Looking Like An Insensitive Moron.

    The OP said in his conclusion: I disagree. Not everyone wants the same thing. While the immediate community wants the carnage to stop, the long suffering libs who in the last 8 years or so have been frustrated over and over again by the incremental pro-gun victories have now taken...

    Colt Series 70 Barrel Bushing Replacement....help.

    Remember that tolerances can stack enough to require fitting. As Canuck states, adjustments are bound to be minor and my EGW bushing went on the S80 GM with just a few brushes of sandpaper and lapping compound. I stopped as soon as a bushing wrench was no longer needed. Keep in mind it's...

    Sticky slide in a 1911

    I have had a couple of SA GIs (which are are the closest model to mil-spec) and both of them hung up on their disconnects until I smoothed them out. What's puzzling is that it "functioned fine.. at the store."

    1911 trigger slap

    Tuner thanks for setting me straight. I was ready to go crazy on the innocent disconnector. BTW, I discovered the Nork also has a mercury-filled FLGR. Have you ever tried one of these? I could almost swear it made a discernible difference. MR2

    870 not sending round into chamber.

    Happened to me this morning. Watching the reloading process in slow motion, the shell seemed to be bouncing around on the lifter and not aligning as the slide moved forward. And yes, a little tilt to the left makes a difference, so maybe I have to look at the dog, too. Too bad, as the 870...

    1911 trigger slap

    Update Went to the range today. Trigger slap is all gone. Also noticed that the pistol stayed real steady right after ignition. Previously, there seemed to be some vibration - probably the strut hitting the sear spring as both components went about their business. The temporary (and...

    Troubleshooting a Marlin/Glenfield 60

    With many 22lr firearms, and certainly with the Model 60 I had, function is dependent on ammo. Some rifles work with better than others with a specific ammo. I have found that my Marlin would cycle on Remington and CCI, but not federal while some pistols hate Remington and run Federal. CCIs...

    1911 trigger slap

    Tuner, the triangle on the disconnect has not worn into a concave surface. In fact, the piece still bears some rough tool marks. The sear spring has a brownish finish to it and I wonder whether this is OEM or not. The pistol had been pretty much modified by the time I acquired it. NM barrel...
