Pretty country up there. We have friends that own a cabin just off off the Wakely Bridge launch of the Au Sable and I still hunt whitetail nearby there every November. Nothing like spending a late summer afternoon canoeing the river either—I love that place.

Oh, my, that reminds me... Dad bought me a brand new H&R Topper 088 in 20 gauge in 1979 at a K-Mart when I was a kid in SE Iowa. There were times when I considered selling that gun to make ends meet and glad that I never did so. He's passed on now and the memories that just holding the gun...

By comparison, my ''assortment'' of lubricants is just plain old boring. One 4 ounce bottle of BreakFree LP, nothing else, not even grease. Bore cleaner/solvent selection (somewhat 'off topic ') is also boring—a of a half bottle of Hoppes #9.

As a general rule, I like to have a minimum of six magazines (plus the magazine in it) for each pistol. For high use guns, the necessary amount is determined by the circumstances requiring additional magazines.

It's a scam. With approximately 30 seconds of looking, three giant red flags jump out. First, no phone number or physical address on their "Contact" page. Second, they accept only Zelle and crypto. Third, the use of English on the website is somewhat awkward in a few places not to mention...

C3 makes no sense when we've got an embarrassment of riches of semiautomatic pistols that permit carrying in C1 safely. Train accordingly. If you don't/can't trust your gun for C1, get one that you can. One can train and achieve proficiency in C3, but equal training and proficiency in C1 will...

I agree. When it comes to range sessions, a little 'extra' lubricant can't hurt—as long as the gun isn't dripping wet. I do it and consider it to be a little 'extra' insurance against wear. The only deviation from Glock's lubrication recommendations that I make is that I do use a swab to leave...

These work well; they're what I use when direct application is needed. https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/general-gunsmith-tools/shop-supplies/needle-oiler-bottles/

I just dampen a cotton swab with lubricant (Break Free LP, in my case), and apply a light film that just wets the surface of the recommended lubrication points. The process leaves the right amount of lubricant and migration, if there is any, is minimal.

The problem with assuming ceteris paribus (all things being equal) is that they almost never are. Action, barrel length, bore axis are not components of the Power Factor equation which only computes the momentum (bullet mass multiplied by bullet velocity) of the bullet itself.

Power Factor does not consider the mass of the firearm, so no, the equation for Power Factor does not correctly compute recoil.

When asking about the difference between 115-grain and 124-grain JHPs, I s'pose that it might be advisable to define the 'difference' that you are concerned with? If that ''difference' is the terminal performance of JHP ammunition in either weight, the mass of the bullet is just one of three...

HST or Gold Dot dependent upon what pistol (and caliber) I am carrying; both are great designs with many years-long track records. If I (unintentionally) led you believe that I loaded both HST and Gold Dot JHPs into the same pistol/magazine at the same time, that is simply not the case and I...

HSTs or Gold Dots in +P flavor.

Well, if anyone would know, it would have to be the CMP! ;) :thumbup:

Oh, good Heavens. Our military surgeons didn't operate only on US personnel. Plenty of NVA/VC enemy combatants who survived battle received surgical intervention courtesy of our Army hospitals and the surgeons assigned to them. Guess what caliber the vast majority of those enemy combatants were...

You will need evidence to do that; unsupported opinion is insufficient. Sharing the knowledge that you've acquired elsewhere would be a fine way to do so. It's a perfectly reasonable request.

The claims made in the Effective Game Killing article remind me of when Courtney attempted to convince anyone who would listen to him that his newly coined term BPW (blast pressure wave) was a remote wounding mechanism when in fact it was really nothing more than the Hugoniot shock front that...

None of these statements does anything to prove that the Clear Ballistics Gel product is a valid soft tissue simulant.

Nope. I am not in any position to ''deem valid'' any of the research or researchers that I have referenced, and neither are you. Their professional credentials, acumen, and research stands on its own. You may not agree with it, but there it is. While the LeHigh testing is certainly valid for...
