    Any tricks to "slick up" the inside of my IWB holster?

    My ccw is a Glock 19 in a leather Bianchi IWB holster. When the holster is out the gun comes out all right (still being broken in) but when the combo is actually in my waistband, it's very sticky drawing the gun. Instead of the gun coming out cleanly, the holster wants to pull out or pull up...

    Question about a Burris scope.

    I ordered a Burris Fullfield II 2-7x35 and it was just delivered today. I plan to mount it on an A-Bolt .30-06. Here's the question: On the site I ordered it from, AND on Burris' website, the scope is listed under "Rifle Scopes." When I took it out of the package just now, the scope and...

    Has anyone used S&B "spce" ammunition?

    I just received a box of S&B 30-06, 150gr SPCE (soft point cutting edge) ammo from Lucky Gunner. Just wanted to give it a try, and it was ever so slightly cheaper than the other '06 ammo. I'm guessing the terminal performance wouldn't really be all that different from any other cup 'n' core...

    Agree to disagree on the ethics threads?

    I'm pretty sure we are all going to stick with our opinions. Let's "agree to disagree" here...it's kind of a touchy subject for most of us and we would be better off arguing about 9mm vs. 45acp. Possibly to the delight of some, I am making a vow not to post any more comments under ethics...

    Glock trigger hurts me finger! What can I do?

    I just got myself a new Glock 19 Gen 4 a couple weeks ago. I love it! Today I went to the range and put 200 rounds through it (put 200 through it last week too), and my trigger finger is still a little numb/tingly, I think from the trigger safety digging into it. Is there anything you guys do...

    Gun advice for a cap and ball revolver beginner?

    Lately some of the postings here on THR have made me very curious about cap and ball revolvers. I have absolutely no blackpowder experience. What would be a good revolver for someone new like me? I see them in Cabela's, etc, but I have no idea who makes a quality gun or what designs are...

    Deer hunting, Virginia public land?

    Does anyone know of some GOOD public land in VA (as close to DC as possible) to hunt deer? I've hit Thompson WMA 5 times this season and I have literally seen 3 or 4 deer tracks and a coyote. Lots and lots of coyote droppings, barely any deer sign (maybe that's telling me something). I heard...

    Toughest "regular" rifle bullet?

    From your experience, what would you say is the toughest (best weight retention, penetration) of the "standard" manufacturer bullets - Core Lokt, Power Points, Interlock, whatever Federal $20/box bullets are, etc. For example, if you had to choose one of these to hunt moose or elk with, which...

    MAN! Browning's really whittled down the A-Bolts

    I'm looking for a new rifle and REALLY want a new A-Bolt, but MAN has Browning limited the selection on those babies. All the short actions are WSM's, the long actions all have BOSS...the only regular old long action they have is the Composite Stalker or the 25th Anniversary edition. I just...

    Anyone have a tackdrivin' 7.62x39?

    I know many of you think "tackdriving 7.62x39" is an oxymoron but I'm just wondering...do any of you guys have/know of a 7.62x39 that will shoot sub MOA groups? If so, what type of rifle/setup? What type of ammo? Just a question I thought of while driving from DC to Chicago the other day...

    Couple of Marlin questions

    Just wondering if Marlin has something like a "custom shop" where you could have them specially set up a rifle. I would like to get an 1895 but I want a rifle/stock configuration that they don't offer...basically the 22" blued 1895 with laminated stock and big loop lever. OR... If I got...

    Premium ammo...couldn't believe the difference!

    I've had a Kahr CW9 for a couple years now, but I've only recently been able to shoot it much, due to ammo availability and my own financial situation. I've shot quite a bit of UMC, WWB and the like through it, and kept it loaded with WWB 115gr HP's for defense. I thought it shot pretty well...

    Got my new Kershaw Shallot

    Haven't used it yet , but I started out buying a Leek, returned it because of the straight and fragile-seeming blade, and got this on Ebay. It feels great in the hand and its SHARP! I will say, not as sharp as the Leek, but the Leek was literally like a razor blade, and the Shallot has a way...

    Question: .40 S&W FMJ and penetration/damage capability

    I had another middle of the night thought... Ok, most hard-cast lead bullets designed for hunting/defense have flat noses and wide meplats. Based on the various things I've read on the internet, the wide meplat itself can cause almost as much destruction of tissue as an expanding bullet (I...

    Gloves while CC-ing?

    This cold weather has gotten me thinking...what is the generally accepted "best" method for drawing a CC weapon in cold weather when you're wearing gloves? Do you just have to stay aware that you have them on and remove them really fast before you draw, or do you try to go without gloves as...

    usaammo.com 9mm...not too shabby!

    A few weeks back I had ordered 250 rounds of 9mm FMJ from usaammo.com. I got what I thought was a very good price on it (about $58.00, including shipping, for 250 rounds) and I posted a thread asking if anyone had any experience with it. Most of the responses I got were bad, but it was...

    Anyone use ammo from USA Ammunition?

    I just placed an order for 250 rounds of 9mm from USA Ammo, came out to $58.50 including shipping. It seems like a good deal; anybody have any experience with this stuff? I got the "once used brass" variety. Thanks.

    Band of Brothers weapon question

    I DVR'd the whole series when it was on Spike last week and watched it for the first time, loved it, I wish I could shake hands with some of those guys. Anyway, I have a question: I noticed that some of the guys had Garands, some had Thompsons, and some had .30 Carbines. Also, some enlisted...

    "Cattleman's Carbine"...why not?

    Does anyone else think that a "Cattleman's Carbine" type gun based on, say, a Super Redhawk or a Raging Bull would be awesome? Double action, .454 Casull, .44 mag, or .357, 16" barrel. It just seems like 6 or 7 quick shots of any of these cartridges in a little carbine would make a lot of...

    .45/70 Winchester 300 gr Partition Gold...

    Does anyone have any experience with this particular ammunition? Real world terminal performance, accuracy, etc...just looking into it, not sure if I want to buy a box of it yet. I would be hunting caribou/moose. I am quite aware of the Garretts and the Buff Bores, just looking for something...
