In almost exactly a month, I'll be graduating The Citadel and heading home for a while. I bought a bike while I was down here, and since I like twisties, I like camping, and I'm gonna have a few weeks on my hands at the very least, I'm planning on riding up the blue ridge parkway/ skyline...

This is the first time the weather's been warm since I got my LTCF. Typically I just wear my 1911 in a good OWB leather holster and cover up with a hoody/jacket/suitcoat depending on where I'm at. Basically I see my choices as: ...Stick with what I'm doing but "hawaiian shirt" it. No, I'm...

Watched I Am Legend last night. SPOILER SPACE End Spoiler Space- The scene where the dog gets it ruined the movie for me. Ok, Neville wasn't combat arms. Fair enough--but a :cuss:FIRST YEAR ROTC CADET knows better than to let his weapon get...

I like the design, but when I tried one out in the local funshop, it didn't fit my Taurus PT 1911. Did he have a bum unit or am I just outta luck?

For the past 4 months I've been in a non-CCW state; I've had to store my weapons away from my residence here as well. Between that and all the other claims on my time, my range time has been severely curtailed. On top of that, for cost reasons I've been shooting mostly .22 out of my carry...

I've been thinking of converting my current A2 configured Bushmaster AR15 to an A4gery--or at the very least a flattop without a fixed front sight. If I decide to sell the upper (with a little under 1k rounds through it) what can I realistically expect for it? I added a FH, but it still...

I switched over my 1911 to .22lr... then spent 6 hours straight shooting and loading mags at the range. Showed up with just short of 2 bricks... left with all ammo expended. In terms of straight-up round count it was at least the equal of any other 3 range days in my life:D It was sunny...

My buddy just bought a very used "Commando V" .45 ACP carbine. It looks like a prewar Tommy Gun (except for the plastic foregrip). The trigger in particular is very weird-- it hinges into the bottom/back of the triggerguard rather than the top. It didn't come with any documentation or...

I had to go into the county seat today to get my DL renewed, and I decided to finish up my LTCF paperwork on the same trip. Turning in my under-21 DL for an adult licence took an hour and a half. Turning in my "he's a good boy" slip from the local police chief and getting a license to...

Reading On Killing and On Combat the author makes a great deal of noise about how small a percentage of people will kill someone they are looking in the eye at close range, but how many more will shoot the same person in the back at the same distance. Has this ever been used in connection...

There was this one I ran into shooting at a range in Francis Marion Nat'l Forest last year... he went all out--khaki military creased shirt, brown well creased pants, and an official looking baseball cap (that was actually the giveaway--although the crest looked believable enough to an out of...

Seriously... This is why the GF won't let me watch dino movies anymore. Assuming you could get a headshot, do you think .50BMG would do it? Or would it require something like a Solothurn (yes I'm re-reading UC)? Or would it get into the range of light tank/heavy aircraft calibers (25mm...

I heard rumors that the SC legislature passed a law to this effect following the VT shooting, but none of the rumors came with a source citation. Since trunk guns are against cadet regulations, my firearms live off campus at an alum's house anyway, but I was still wondering if this was fact...

...I've only been in the military for a year... ...been shooting ipsc for 2 years... ...Owned my 9mill for 3 years... ...and had an AR for 6 years. But its good to know that the government is finally convinced that I'm a responsible enough adult to buy pistol ammo.:neener:

I've been looking forward to turning 21 and buying my first handgun in my own name (I've already got 2 thanks to PA's laws on parental gifts of firearms). Right now I'm leaning heavily to some kind of 1911... I've got a price cap, but it's enough to cover a new mid-range model or a nice used on...

I will turn 21 down at The Citadel, almost a month before I'll be back at my home of record. How would I go about getting my permit as quickly as possible? My dad said that Montgomery county requires in person applications, but I read on packing.org that some counties in the middle of the...

Just running through a thought experiment, and it seems like it would be near impossible to effectively employ a handgun with my strong hand while seated in the driver's seat. A dedicated holster near the center console would at least make it easier to go weak side. What have the southpaws...

We had a class on the M9 where the Gunny emphasized that this procedure WILL cause the 2nd round to fail to feed, and therefore shouldn't be used. Does this apply to all quality autoloaders? Or just Beretta M9s? Or just M9s with crappy mil-issue magazines? I've already heard stories...

Who has one? I'm seriously considering mounting one on my WASR or my Saiga.

I got a Saiga in 7.62x39 as part of a trade deal about 6 months ago. At the time I'd been planning to send it off somewhere and get it converted, but a few weeks later I found a good deal on a WASR-10, and started looking for a way to trade off or sell the Saiga to at least get my money out of...
