I had my CCW in north Carolina. It expires in 2016. However I changed state residence to Wisconsin in 2012. The Wisconsin CCW application asks for proof of training. One of the acceptable forms of proof is a copy of a CCW license from another state. The Wisconsin form DJ-LE-289 is the...

I recently purchased several Rough Rider knives. Pretty decent quality, fit and finish. Really good considering the price. Some have the "RR" on the shield on the handle, some have the Horseshoe logo with the RR marking on the blade. What I am wondering is, is there information out there...

I have narrowed it down. I have had a couple of CZ handguns and loved them so I have been looking at that brand. Remington is the tried and true. Tikka I am not familiar with, but they have been discussed as a good choice. So, between the three, not considering price, what would your...

O has been talking about understanding and respecting the rights of hunters and skeet shooters when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. He "feels and understands" us sportsman, yeah right.... Hunters don't use or need high cap mags or "assault" weapons. "Assault weapon" aka, tricked out semi-auto"...

I was listening to NPR today about Glocks. The author of a book about Glocks referred to a "pistol" as a semiautomatic handgun like a Glock as opposed to a revolver. A pistol and a revolver are subsets of a handgun. I guess I always thought a "pistol" could be a semiautomatic, derringer...

I have a Sheridan Silver Streak ( Pre-Benjamin) from the late 60's. Racine Wisc. 5MM. Still works well (almost) but it need a new O ring for the bolt. When I fire air escapes from the breach thru the bolt. I recall a small O ring being their but it's long gone. Still fires but I'm sure I'm...
