    Texas Exotic Dilemma

    The problem: I've been invited on an exotic hunt (actually two) in Texas, and I'm supposed to choose my target preferences. Unfortunately, while I've seen pictures of them, I've never tasted most of the choices. So, if taste is a bit ahead of trophy, what are the leading contenders for my table...

    FBI Issue Weapon to New Agents?

    Does anyone know what the current issue weapon is for new FBI agents? I had heard it was a Glock in .40, but that was a while ago. I tried to find it on the FBI FAQ, but I guess it's not asked frequently enough.

    Spoof or Truth? Record Alaskan Bear?

    A story was forwarded to me, along with poor pictures. It sounds questionable for a lot of reasons, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone can verify or refute:

    Which Thumb?

    I'm playing around with a new S&W 4506, amazingly my first traditional double action (a.k.a. DA/SA). I'm noticing it has the most unergonomic thumb safety/decocker possible. So, my question for those more DA/SA savvy: when you're drawing from a holster, do you thumb off the safety with the...

    Non-residents Can't Buy Firearms?

    I'm corresponding with a gunshop in Idaho -- they have a model I'm looking for -- and they are claiming it's a violation of federal law for them to sell me a firearm at their store, unless I'm a resident of Idaho. Is that right? My question to them: You had indicated that I could not...

    I have a mule deer tag for central Nevada, Units 151-155, basically south from Battle Mountain to Austin. Anyone have any experience in this area they could share?

    The Hazards of Impulse Buying - S&W 4509

    I just picked up a S&W 4506, NIB, with night sights, for $200 under list, and now I'm wondering if it was a brilliant example of opportunistic value creation, or just another impulse buy. I've always been a single action buyer, favoring 1911's. A couple of Glocks, since they're the only 10mm...

    6.5-.308 vs .260 Remington

    Would anyone happen to know if the 6.5-.308 originally proposed by A Square is dimensionally equivalent to the .260 Remington ultimately approved?

    Long Distance Elk: .338 vs .300 RUM vs ?

    While I've yet to be dissatisfied with my .35 Whelen Improved for elk within 200 yards, I've been contemplating building up a high accuracy (.5-.75 MOA), long distance (300-500 yards) cartridge. The .338 seems to be a "standard" elk cartridge, but I'm unclear on its accuracy potential. The...

    6.5x55 Bob Jourdan Ackley Improved

    I'm looking for any load data out there on a wildcat, 6.5x55 Bob Jourdan Ackley Improved. It evidently was developed during the 90's, perhaps published in Precision Shooting around 1993. I can find references and reprints, but no load data. Thanks for any direction.

    Squishy Grips for S&W 629

    I've found that neither Pachmeyr nor Hogue can control the beast with full power .44 mag hunting loads a la Buffalo Bore or Garrett. Does anyone know of squishier grips that will fit the S&W N frame (round butt), perhaps like the Ribber grips on the big Taurus?
