      Most Reliable Polymer Striker Fired Handguns

      Go to a range that rents handguns and try several. They will all go bang but find one that fits you. My problem is that I like most of them and that makes a decision difficult. So, I bought several different brands. If you are a beginner, take some classes before you decide. Training and...

      40 s&w debate

      I did not buy a .40 because I did not want to load a new caliber. Then I bought a 10 mm. I can use the dies for that to load 40's but I do not plan to.

      Parts of Louisiana Will Be Lost.

      In 1963, I was sitting on a hill on the Mississippi State Campus and I dug up fossilized sea shells on the hill. The earth is in a constant state of change. In South Louisiana, the land is sinking, not the ocean rising. https://www.livescience.com/4186-real-reason-louisiana-sinking.html

      Most Difficult Gun to Reassemble?

      I took apart a bolt on a Chinese SKS. I had to make a jig and use the ramrod from a muzzle loader to get the spring back in.

      Too much boom @ indoor ranges

      I took my S&W .460 Mag to an indoor range once. When I fired it everyone in the range looked over to see "What the Hell was that?". I decided then that it was an outdoor gun. I have an AR with a muzzle brake. I do not shoot it at a range if some one is next to me because it will slap them when...

      ATF agent arrested at gunpoint

      The best thing to understand is when you are approached by an officer is that the officer is in charge. Be polite and comply with their instructions even if they are wrong. If they are in error, take it up with an attorney later. The agent should have been trained how to handle this situation...

      Favorite "Sleeper" Handgun

      I have an Arsenal Makarov 9X17 which is the same as 380. Another good one is the CZ Model 82, which is a double stack 9X18.

      Somebody has hijacked my phone number

      I develop software and I can answer your question about spam calls. I too have received calls from my number. You can use software to generate the caller id or sender's email address. The numbers are generated randomly, frequently using the same area code and first 3 digits of the person...

      1911 Reliability

      I have a 1918 vintage Colt that my father won in a poker game in the 1940's. It has never failed to go bang.

      New to Reloading but having some problems

      I reload 308 and 7.62X51 NATO AND L2A2. L2A2 is a British equivalent to NATO. I separate the .308 from the rest. I only shoot the NATO and L2A2 in my M1A. I shoot the .308 in my 700 Police. In this case the military brass holds around 1 grain less powder. .223 case holds 28.8 grains and 556...
