Just based on reading the subject line, I had already unknowingly agreed with OP. I immediately thought about a 9mm Carbine. Ammo is cheap and easy to find, capable of handling pretty much any possible threat, and a carbine is easy to handle, more accurate than a pistol, and safer in terms of...

I grew up with .45ACP ( it was actually the first centerfire cartridge I ever shot, at 7yoa). I was an early adopter of 10mm back in the '80s. I switched back to .45 because, among other reasons, I found the recoil and blast led to shorter range sessions and less practice. Based on some recent...

How does extraction work?

Not firearms, but working at a boat dealer in the big '80s, I saw deals like that on a weekly basis. One in particular stood out- he was buying about 80k worth of boat, with about 50k of options and accessories, but needed the paperwork to show it as a stock package. On top of that, as a...

I, too, really liked Nikon. I have noticed that since Nikon stopped selling Scopes, SIG has been selling what appears to be the Nikon models branded as SIG. I suspect that Nikon still makes them, and SIG just markets them. https://www.amazon.com/Sig-Sauer-Whisky-Riflescope-SOW33202/dp/B07R3FDVM6

This works well for a friend with a deer problem: Orbit 62100 Yard Enforcer Motion-Activated Sprinkler with Day & Night Detection Modes,Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009F1R0GC/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_TBE6AC80WBTP4B2ST034?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've always thought that the LMGs with top mounted magazines was to make it easier/faster for your Assistant Gunner/Ammo Bearer to change mags.

For Magazines, I've used nothing but Mec-Gar for years now, both 8 and 10 rounds in the full size, 7s in the officers model. Get a dowel that just fits inside the recoil spring plug, and use a automatic center punch to put a dimple in the plug about 3/16 inch from the inner end. This will keep...

This is an interesting possible future for weaponry

I lived on a boat for several years, and picked up a few of these at Cabela's ( or Bass Pro ), and they worked great. https://www.flambeauoutdoors.com/Fishing/Hard-Storage/Dry-Boxes/11-marine-dry-box-with-zerust-blue

I follow Project Farm, too, though I haven't watched that one yet. I really like that their videos are information dense, without a lot of filler and chatter. I've tried a lot of products over the years, and always went back to CLP. I've been using it since the '80s, and it's always done the...

I owned a PM9 for about 5years. Kahrs are the only striker fired pistol that I ever liked the trigger on. Compact enough for a jacket pocket, large enough for a good grip. I liked and trusted it enough to pass it on to my daughter. A friend has a CM9, which is more or less the 'base model', and...

my preference is to put my pistols in rugs, pack them in the pelican case I use as my suitcase, and lock the suitcase. this means that all my checked gear is locked with non TSA locks, and less likely to be stolen backstage at the airport.

Yes. Bargain ammo tends to be underpowered, which makes for short stroking, which means it won't lock back on the last round. This is especially common with a new rifle, where the parts haven't quite worn in to a better fit, and is often compounded by insufficient lube. With a new build, I like...

If the bolt is locking back on the last round, I'd blame the magazine, if not I'd blame the ammo. I'm pretty picky about ammo, so I'd just avoid the WWB in the future, and stick to what works. If I had problems with a wider range of ammo, I'd be looking at things like rings and buffers

Mine just gave up the ghost after 12 years on my alternate EDC, a full size stainless 1911, carried in the Marine Environment for it's whole life ( I work on boats, and live about 3 blocks from the bay). I haven't tried anything beyond changing the batteries, though I might try a few things...

I've found that frequent short sessions work much better for me, as opposed to less frequent longer practice. Generally that means about a half hour, e times a week, but I usually focus on one random range per session.

I found what appeared to be surface rust on a few pistols I was trying Frog Lube on, but closer examination showed that it was just oxidized FL. After about a year of trying it on my pistols, I decided it wasn't any better than CLP, except for the smell. I went back to CLP, which has served me...

https://www.aztecharmory.com/scott-werx-chicago-1022-conversion-fits-1022-p-26812.html I saw this kit installed on a 10/22 hanging on the wall in a LGS on Long Island, and was sorely tempted.
