I'm still waiting for the Super Redhawk .454 to come out with a 4 - 4 1/2" barrel. The Alaskan's 2" barrel is really too short and specialized to be truly useful, making the Alaskan more of a novelty than anything else. Just my thoughts, but if Ruger were to introduce a Super Redhawk .454...

Anyone with info on when VEPR's will come into the US, and through which importer? Thanks!

I also think the 2 1/2" barrel is a bit short and maybe a little too specialized. A 4 - 4 1/2" barrel would be ideal for what I envision as a general purpose revolver for back country plinking and defense.

terms of art The phrases "great bodily harm" or in Texas "serious bodily injury" are terms of art. When used in a legal context, whether in a state penal code or in case law, the terms have very specific legal meanings which go beyond what we would commonly think of in day-to-day...

Chuck, what's the length-of-pull on the folder, and do you see a way to shorten it if necessary?

The comparison b/n the US today and Nazi Germany is silly. There's no valid comparison. No where in the world do you have the freedoms enjoyed by US citizens. Sometimes, people protest because they don't like the decisions made by government, where there are no great options to choose from...

I don't know the answer in Indiana, but in Texas, under the Code of Criminal Procedure, the county Sheriff is considered the chief law enforcement officer in the jurisdiction, even inside city limits. It's probably the same in Indiana, but I don't know for certain. You could call the main...

I would broaden the characterization to money related, not necessarily drug related. These guys are after anything of value, whether a small business owner's cash, family jewelry seen worn in social gathering, etc. In certain areas, eg predominantly lower SES with less in overt wealth, drugs...

It would be nice if the petty criminals just left Houston. A physician friend from New Orleans who's been in Houston since Katrina, and who's returning in a couple months, jokingly commented that NO is a better place now after the purge.

I once had a problem a few years ago with cheap foreign surplus ammo -- primer flow with pieces of primer somehow getting caught under the extractor. The bolt jammed solid all the way to the rear, and I had the remove the stock and buffer tube to eventually separate the receivers halves. I had...

Thanks for the tips guys. I just put the upper and lower receiver action blocks in my Brownells cart. (Brownells acquired Peace River in 2003, so it's now a Brownells/Peace River item.) I've been intending to get the foot-pound and inch-pound torque wenches for a while. There's little more...

Welcome to the Cult. :evil: Aside from its tack-driving accuracy, part of the P7's allure is its utter uniqueness, both in design and history. I carried a P7M13 concealed for several years -- one of my favorite handguns.

I've used the Brown drop-in with excellent fit and function: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=1310&title=1911+AUTO+SOLID+BARREL+BUSHING The excellent quality MGW drop-in is a little tighter by about .1mm in both inner and outer diameter...

It's good that you listen to advice. :uhoh: This thread has outlived its purpose.

Anybody able to post side-by-side comparison pics of the XD45 and Glock 30? I'm just curious about the relative size difference. Thanks a bunch!

We learn something every day. My first shotgun about 20 years ago was a 16 ga Auto-5. I've only shot it a couple of times, and it's now tucked away in the safe. I had no idea that the barrel moved. That's really pretty neat!

Like the others said, you need to sight-in the laser, just like you have to zero a new rifle scope. If you just installed the grips and hadn't sighted-in the laser, I can see that your range experience would be very frustrating. If your iron sights are right on, measure out 30 feet at home...

Good looking knife. The compass is a nice, extremely functional touch. It's always nice to have a low weight back-up if your primary is lost -- it wouldn't be good to be hiking cross country with no compass if your primary disappears. And if the compass ever goes bad over a period of...
