The "three shot signal" has always been common knowledge among the fellers I hung around with and none would rent a satellite phone for a walk in the woods or a day hunting. When I'm out in the woods, shooting or just lookin', I usually have at least a 9mm in my pocket. In my area, So. Ore...

I have been reloading for a lot of years and presently only reload for 11 cartridges. I believe many guns/cartridges will work quite well with the loads, bullet weights/shapes they were originally designed around. In my searching I have not been able to find any text, publication or website that hat...

I think the current Self Defense thinking is all about hyper velocity, armor piercing, 18 times caliber expanding, no over penetrating ammo that's easy to shoot with low recoil and no muzzle flash, and anything less is not worth loading in your gun. I think if I were proficient in handling a lever g...

It's probably a synthetic grease, the High Pressure synthetic greases are usually red in color. Yep. If there are no new noises, no puddles under the vehicle after parked over night, then you may have run over something on the road. If you ran over a tube of HP red grease (I use this for some bulle...

I've been able to do all the things on my Lee Hand Press that I've done on my bench mounted presses. I have loaded hand gun ammo (38/357, 44 Special/Magnum), some 30-06 (F/L sized) and sized cast bullets. The F/L sizing of rifle rounds can be tiresome as a bit more pressure is needed and depends on ...

Not a LEO here (been on the other side a couple times though). But I'm often dismayed by the firepower exhibited in a shooting (20, 30 and more shots fires, seemingly wildly). I have never agreed with the "keep pulling the trigger until he drops" line of thinking, regardless of what weapon...

At least she's keeping familiar with her handgun. Wouldn't work for me though; I don't think I could shoot just one per day. Maybe one magazine or one cylinder full, but one shot? Nah!

Great information and a few things I had not thought of. I haven't had many firearms shipped to me but I did ship one S&W 629 back to the factory. Come to think of it I did use an oversize box (only one I had at the time) and I labeled it "Machine Parts" and had it returned to an FFL (...

My thought; Reloading manuals are published reports from certified labs, using state of the art testing equipment (most are). All loads found in reloading manuals are safe, even for beginning reloaders. I use reloading manuals for 98% of my new loads and my own data from previous loads, with a small...

Personally, if a person us so shallow as to be offended by a forum post, then I'd be happy for them to "defriend" me. I'll just let them pull up their panties and go home...

Kids today have been raised in such a sterile, safe environment, most don't know how to take care of themselves away from their "safe places", computers or mommy. If I had been so sheltered, I would be afraid of all the "bad stuff" outdoors too.....

This may or may not help as loads and firearms prolly vary, but it might give you a comparison. I believe 140 decibels (give or take) is the threshold for pain/permanent damage...http://www.caohc.org/UserFiles/file/Sho ... andout.pdf

Thanks fellers. I guess I could have googled it, just didn't think of it. I have an RIA 1911 that I like a lot (I was surprised at it's quality for such an inexpensive gun).

I got an itch for a new gun and I was looking at 38 Super, semi-auto pistols. In Gun Genie I found a 1911 style from Metro Arms/American Classics. I've not heard of them before. Does anyone know about this gun/manufacturer? Actually I was cruising the site for a lever gun, 45-70 perhaps when I thoug...

I read your post then got the app. for my tablet. So far I only see a cost comparison program but lots of reload data. The load data includes start/max charge, start/max velocity start/max pressure, start/max energy, start/max power factor and start/max penetration (haven't figgered this one out yet...

Nice. I hope it's expanded soon to include more manufacturers...

Just a reminder, I just made an observation on the covers of most gun magazines in the magazine racks open to the public view. To a non-gun person (not necessarily anti-gun) they could get the impression that all gun folks run around in BDUs carrying an automatic rifle looking for someone to shoot...

I was in the market the other day and as usual I stopped by the magazine counter. As I was looking at all the gun mags on display, I got a really bad impression. Most of the magazine covers had something "tactical", either an AR, an AK, some pseudo swat member all decked out in the "t...

One of my favorite scenes is in NCIS. Gibbs is in the desert with a couple other guys and being chased by a helicopter. One feller is wounded and gives Gibbs his lever gun and says "it shoots a bit to the right". Gibbs takes the gun and fiddles with the iron sights (mebbe this gun can, but...

OK, I admit to being a big city boy (grew up in the Los Angeles area) and I've prolly never been closer than 10 feet from a pig/hog/swine.

Sometimes a little knowledge can mess something up. I was watching an old John Wayne western movie that took place at the beginning of the Civil War. But John Wayne was shooting a Colt SA, 1873?

Yep another thing they do is abbreviate a symptom as if every doctor knows what RHB (recurrent heart burn), CRS (can't remember stuff) or PH (painful hemorrhoids) means.

The only thing I don't like about suppressors is their size. I know physics demands the large size, but I still don't like it. If a shorter bbl, say 14", with a permanently attached 8" suppressor would it be considered a 22" barrel? If the gun in the pic were to have a 16"or 18&q...
