(bad link snipped) The money quote is: "So I pulled out my 9mm Taurus with the 17-bullet magazine and started firing until it jammed. And they ran out like cockroaches." The bad news, I guess, is that "until it jammed" was apparently like 7 rounds (unconfirmed). On the other hand, a budget...

Wandering through one of my locals, looking for a new (to me) deer rifle, two model 70's jumped out at me. Rifle one, $799, is a pre 64 M70 in .270 in good shape with a nasty Banner brand optic, nice wood, ancient crusty rubber recoil pad, slind swivels/carrying strap. Rifle 2 is a post '64 M70...

Yesterday afternoon I swung by the range to have a poke through the shop there, and the DEP and DPS had just shut the place down. Now, on the site (http://www.bluetrailrange.com/) it still says that it's just the 200 yard range, but I went out again today, and it's the 100 yard range as...

I was wasting a little time today in my usual way, and came across a real whipped puppy of an 870 in the back corner of the gun shop's used rack. It initially caught my eye due to the nice, even coat of light surface rust where the blueing ought to be. I kind of thought Remington might be...

I stumbled into a deal on a Delta Elite first edition stainless the other day, and took it home for $600 plus tax, with the box, extra magazine, etc. (because the previous owner dropped it onto pavement, violently, and it's not so pretty anymore.) Now, I need a shopping list, basically...

I just ran across this today, and haven't seen it pop up here yet. http://www.forcesciencenews.com/home/detail.html?serial=62 "New findings on how offenders train with, carry and deploy the weapons they use to attack police officers have emerged in a just-published, 5-year study by the...

I happened across this post over at Wired News; http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71743-0.html?tw=wn_index_4 "Driving off the road" is at the very top, as most of us would suspect. Accidental and Law enforcement shootings are way down toward the bottom of the list, which isn't much...

One of my local gunshops has an "870 Tactical" that made me a little curious. It appears to be a 20 inch barrel with the 3 shot extension, black synthetic forend and pistol grip stock, and I believe bead sight, not rifle. It's also finished in something green, similar to some of the...

There is a Steyr SPP sitting in one of my local gunshops, and I'm wondering what kind of experience people have had with them. I live in a ban state, but back in the good old days before it went into effect, I had one of the Action Arms/IMI Uzi pistols (foolishly sold it right before it...

Hey all, this is going to be kind of an obscure question, but I'm trying to avoid having to register on a Beretta forum just to ask one question. Anyway, I've aquired a Beretta 92SB, one of the ones issued to the CSP in the 1980's. Of course, it came with pachmayr wraparound rubber grips...

A long time friend of mine has a Winchester Model 50, 12ga, 28 inch barrel, full choke, as near as I can tell mfg in 1958. (SN: 1393xx)He's moving out of the country, and while I'll probably end up storing it for him anyway since I have a gun safe, I think I might like to make him an offer for...

I just spent an afternoon at the range with my PSL, and it's left me with some questions for all you other PSL owners out there. First off, mine is one of the TG imports, with the grey crackle finish Romanian 4x scope. This optic's tritium reticle illumination was either dead or removed. The...

Mostly just for my information, (but also for unbearably geeky debate points) I'm trying to get a feel for approximately how many bows are manufactured in the U.S. every year. Since they're not required by law to report to anyone, there's no cheat sheet that I've found yet. Obviously it's much...

I'm looking for a reciever sight for the 1895 Winchester (new model with the tang safety) like the Lyman #21 or #38. I've read on boards that people have purchased Russian made repros, but hours of googling have failed to track down anything. Does anyone know where I might find one?
