    DIY neoprene shoulder holster - no sewing

    For you crafters and tinkerers, a project. Few pics either. Literacy required. I have a "vintage" Braer Bros .38 snub shoulder holster I picked up after buying a Taurus .38, which wears well and offers a no - chest - strap design. Too many links are "for sale", surf "Brauer Bros vintage...

    What not to take hunting

    That time of year where I'm gearing up for whitetail and going over some of the internet packing lists it's getting more and more hilarious. We understand there are basics and beginners need to know what is best for their initial needs, it's the internet scribes personal do's and don'ts which...

    RMR durability: what are the drop standards?

    Can you drop your RMR on the concrete and will it survive? Oops, slips out of your hand, rotates mag up, impacts hard surface after more than a 4 foot fall. This has nothing to do with the actual gun - it could be a revolver. It's about impact resistance of a glass sight mounted on the top...

    What really protects the 2d Amendment?

    In the long battle to preserve our 2d Amendment rights, what has been the most effective weapon we use? We haven't been using the 2d. Very rarely in American history have we been called on to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. "Arms" includes all weapons used in self defense. Our...

    Why do some insist an AR have matching upper and lower?

    We don't do that with pistols, if anything the contrary, non matching has had it's ups and downs in popularity all the time. Now, with cerakote, we see deliberate mismatching in color and even finish. Stainless, blued, matte bead blast, vs black, nickel, chrome, blued. Seems like endless...

    Coil roll pin lower kits

    Any you recommend more than others? I have used Anderson with the stainless trigger which was amazing for the price. Explanation for new to AR folks: kits have all the little parts that go into an AR lower. Some come with spiral wound stainless coil roll pins instead of heavy wall split pins...

    Firearms design: technical applications for graphene

    Graphene is a 2 demensional structure of carbon atoms in a hex grid. It has highly interesting electrical properties, the mechanical property of being 100 times stronger than steel of the same thickness is one that will likely be highly exploited. Saying "100 times stronger" sounds pretty good...

    Pistol engineering and safeties

    Are there hammer fired guns, and striker fired guns, or, are there trigger fired guns? Taking the last as a working view, then it makes sense to use a separate thumb safety to control it being fired - however the primer activator works really has no bearing on it. Trigger weight is more...

    P365 FCU: things you might need to know

    I recently bought a P365 SIG and it was designed from the beginning with a safety in mind. Usually they only ship to Massachusetts IIRC but as the parts became available more have been installing them. It's not rocket surgery, the initial decision is do you keep it ambidextrous, or just left...

    Buyers Remorse, or, do you assess a new gun emotionally or rationally?

    For whatever reason it's not what you expected. And you post about it. Which perspective do you use?

    "Effective Accuracy"

    Lots of commentary on recent events, one thought that comes up is that what stops a shooter during the event is a hit. Not a Dead Right There kill. All too often nothing is done and people just hide - and if they aren't armed or are trying to shelter family while the shooter is moving away, then...

    The P320: your gun handling skills are the problem

    As the ongoing hysteria of the "issue" with the P320 is debated over the internet, lets not forget that one significant thing needs to happen to get the gun to discharge: you, the operator of that mechanism, have to fumble it, badly, and make it happen. It's being ignored in all the debate...

    CMP 1911's another step closer

    With the passage of NDAA 2018 by the House, the CMP will be one step closer to selling the 1911's they have in storage: https://www.ammoland.com/2017/07/cmp-sales-1911s-one-step-closer-house-passage/ Two changes are in the House language, it makes the transfer mandatory, and it removes the...

    You cannot gift a gun or even hand it off with Universal Background checks

    As discussed in another thread, someone was being gifted a gun - but he lived out of state. Reading Federal regulations, posters explained that he couldn't take possession and return home without shipping it thru an FFL to keep it. It was a transfer to an out of state resident and Federal law...

    How many planned to buy a CMP 1911 and changed your mind?

    It was reported last year that the CMP would get 100,000 1911's and be allowed to sell them off at the rate of 10,000 a year. There was a lot of speculation over price, but once the initial hubbub settled down we took the pricing scheme used for Garands and realized all the premium 1911's would...

    Sales are UP since the election.

    I've seen some misinformation about gun sales being down put out by some sources as if a large number of people have suddenly stopped buying guns because there's no reason to worry about the present administration. Don't know how or why this is out there but it's not true...
