Someone asked about .38SPL and I remembered to weigh a couple cases today. I got 4.8g for an empty PMC .38Spl, and 1.7g for an empty CCI/Speer Lawman .38spl(+P). I would say being well over double the weight is significant. I can absolutely notice the difference in the hand and on the belt...

A HBWC at 650 FPS looks "anemic" if you shoot it at a steel barrel or a car door or a thick chunk of hard wood or something like that, but people are not made of such stern stuff. I'm having a hard time picturing what such a round would fail to do to an aggressive actor that a 9x19 JHP would...

I didn't take pics, but after waiting for 4 years for numrich to get a sear in stock and ordering one I finally resuscitated my Stevens 620-A. It feels good to have a working shotgun again instead of a collection of parts in a box.

Difficulty sourcing components for .32S&W is a big reason I recommended you go with a .38S&W for your project. I don't have a lot of spare brass even for the .38 but I could afford to part with 20-30 for you if you can't find some loaded factory stuff. The only .32 casings I have are from old...

I think even with a lower capacity gun the difference is pretty noticeable. In my Cobra with six shots and an aluminum frame I can definitely tell the difference between brass and aluminum cases. I believe six 90gr critical defense lite weighs more than six 158gr +P Lawman TMJFP in aluminum...

I missed that part of the requirements. My first instinct is to to tell you to put on a proper pair of cargo shorts or something with a belt, you slob! But I say that in jest, of course. No offense meant! The hair tie thing can work with sweatpants (or shorts, you heathen ;]) by using the draw...

I don't have experience with the clip draw but I have a different solution to the problem they solve which has served me well for a decade or so. An alternative to carrying without a holster IWB with a small revolver is to use a strong hair tie under the belt and around your chosen belt loop (I...

Congrats! I take it you're aware of the needed caution in exactly which ammunition is relatively safe to fire in a converted Mk.V? I love the look of the older birds head gripped Webleys such as yours, but im glad I have a Mk.VI all the same.

I had a Yugo years ago that never did run reliably but came close after replacing the gas valve and messing around with getting it to seal better. I recall really liking the Tapco magazines compared to screwing around with the stripper clips. If the gun had run as dead nuts reliable as its...

It's lighter.

I've said it before, but it would be nice if there was more good defensive .38spl loaded in aluminum cases. A six shot aluminum frame .38 loaded with aluminum cased rounds is just a nicer carry arrangement, and since it's defensive ammo I will most likely never fire, I'm not concerned about...

I made the mistake of informing my coworker that I like 16ga shotguns and now he's offered me another inexpensive avenue for me to dispose of my remaining 16ga shells. What do you guys think? An old Central Arms Co. 28" barrels, functions fine, dual triggers, maual safety. Not a speck of...

The European .32 caliber of the day was known as .320 Center Fire. It used a heeled bullet and therefore has a smaller diameter case than .32S&W which won't quite fit into the .320 chambers. I have some .320 brass around and only one gun that takes it so anyone that would like a small amount of...

I accidentally standardized on the 16ga. Years ago I traded a Mosin 91/30 for a 16ga double which of course I hacked into a coach gun for no good reason. I eventually traded that but still had the ammo and so naturally I ended up buying a Steven's 620A in 16ga to use it up. I still have the...

Yes, I'm aware of that measurement method. According to that I need about an inch more of stock on my guns than you would. The problem is, I believe this method was devised or meant for shotgun shooters specifically for clay target games. I dont think its as applicable for other long guns...

There's no way. I'm over 6 foot with long gorilla arms and not only can I shoulder an M1 Carbine just fine, but I can collapse an AR stock all the way down and run the charging handle right into my nose and shoot that way. I submit that you have more of a issue with being able to properly...

Never has this phrase been more apt. I mean, $260 for that CA, knowing you can get a new one that works at least slightly better for just another $100 at most? And the Cobra for only $30 more than I paid for mine four years ago...

I forgot to mention my second experience with night sights, which is that I got a XS tritium front sight replacement for my M92 AK in 2016. They make both a larger Big Dot type front for the AK as well as a white post with tritium on top version that's a little closer to the width and shape of a...

I had Trijicon HDs installed on my 1911 in 2012. Now in 2024 after 12 years of carry they are beat to hell, the white paint is gone from around the tritium vials, and definitely not as brilliantly bright as when new but they still cast enough light to read by in darkness and I think that's...

In a technical sense, .30SC could kill 9x19 for exactly the reasons people attribute to being the reasons 9x19 killed everything else. It won't, most likely because it's too expensive, and nobody is yet truly taking advantage of it being a smaller diameter cartridge. It makes me giggle though...
