I know that most ammo is designed for standard barrel lengths and the powder pressure profile may not be optimum for short barrelled handguns. I also know that with everything else being equal that higher velocities can be had with longer barrelled handguns. My question is: Does the new Gold Dot...

It is nice to see some positive coverage! http://tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070701_238_A1_hTeny75637

Post offices where the term "Going Postal" originated. In the corporate workplace where guns are almost always prohibited. In public schools. On college campuses. Did you ever notice how the mass killings never seem to happen at a gun show?

I was reading the reports on the 4-day Contractor Shooting School in the Stratigies and Tactics forum and was surprised at the difference in reliability between AR-15 and AK-47. It seems that most of the AR's had problems with jamming and broken parts and AK problems were few. As I would like to...

Many Colorado Sheriffs are entering CCW holders into the Colorado Bureau of Investigation Database since they are considered "dangerous" or "Persons of Interest". My sheriff has entered the names, so I guess I get to see what happens if I get pulled over or my tag number gets run. Here is a link...

I have always had pump action shotguns, but have been looking around at semi autos for a while. There are two I have been looking at: Winchester SX2 12ga, 3" Ducks Unlimited, 26" tube, Gold inlay with fancy wood for around $800. The other is a Browning Gold Hunter, 12ga, 3", 26" tube for around...

For me it was the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. I was in Florida watching the launch. I had watched Saturn V launches as well as dozens of shuttle launches before, including the very first shuttle launch for shuttle Columbia. It must have taken 15 minutes for all of the pieces of...

I have a Mini 14 Ranch Rifle and have tried different factory and handloads. The lighter bullets are terrible, with 5-6 inch groups. I can get down to about 3-4 inch groups using heavier 70 gr bullets. Has anyone done work to improve accuracy and how much improvement was achieved? Thanks,

I have been under increasing pressure from my employer of 21 years to move from Colorado to California. I know they have no obligation to employ me. I also will not ever live in one of the people's republik states, never ever. I have to travel to CA, NJ, NY, MD all the time for business. It is...

Does anyone think it is a coincidence that the opening of the UN conference on small arms and light weapons and N Koreas missile tests were both on July 4th? There is nothing a tyrant hates worse than seeing a group that is not under someone's thumb. It is very clear to me that Kim Jong Il and...

An interesting article from Canada where the left is stronger than here in the USA. Interesting ideas about why crimminals and crime are tolerated, but law abiding citizens had a gun registry pushed on them. Quote "A generation ago, or a little more by now, it was broadly assumed that the...

Looks like Denver is a dangerous place for gun owners. The state supreme court had a split decision where Denver ignored state law prohibiting cities from preempting state laws. See the link for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners which has some explanation and links to the text of the decision...

About 10 p.m. last night I was watching news and my wife said she heard something outside. I got up and looked out of a window by the front door and nothing. The two dogs are following me and are not barking or seeming alarmed. The motion triggered flood light in front is off. I then looked out...

I feel an empty void in the classic revolver area. I am looking at 45LC by a classic manufacturer like the Colt (SAA), S&W or possibly Ruger. Anyone else have a specific type of firearm in their sights?

I have an uncle who was at Pearl Harbor and dragged injured soldiers off his ship when it was bombed. Even though my uncle is now dead, I have always felt gratitude to those who stopped Hitler and Imperial Japan. This is a tribute to my uncle and all who have served, past and since. In memorial...

OK, My thread in the "Politics" section on Golbal Warming got shut down. But, the same forces claiming global warming, the UN, Communist countries, Soros, etc.are fighting for a UN-backed ban on small arms. They use myths to achieve their goals. "Global warming" is just code for socialist...

Seems like Al Gore has a new movie coming out on Global Warming. I call these people "watermelon people". They have a thin, green layer on the outside, but they are RED on the inside. On a TV show this was being discussed and someone made a comment about some new invention that would take...

Gun laws: The arrest over a weapon for which he had a permit fuels a $3M suit By Glen Warchol The Salt Lake Tribune Salt Lake Tribune BOUNTIFUL - When Gregg Revell packed his bags for a trip to Pennsylvania last April, he had no idea how far he'd be traveling. Before the week was...

My wife is debating with me about effects of gun control. Is the crime rate per capita greater in Canada, Great Britain and Australia worse than in the USA or is the rate of change just worse. Any references?

I am in my winter carry mode where a jacket or sweater can cover an IWB carry 45ACP. I am using a Milt Sparks Versa Max II holster. Right now I am just using a regular 1" leather belt, but I start feeling sore on my opposite hip bone after all day of carrying. I was wondering if anyone using a...
