Below is a 95gr .380 FMJ. Due to a negligent discharge, it ended up plowing through two plastic rifle cases, a wooden 2x4 bench, two layers of drywall and a chunk of carpeting. Though it was robbed of most of its energy, it still bounced hard enough to cross ~35 feet of a retail salesfloor and...

So, I had a guy asking me about rifles today. Specifically, the AR-15 and the AK-47. I began to explain the differences, when he interrupted to ask, "which is more tactical?" "Ummm," I stammered. "I...um...guess that depends on how you're...um...deploying (?) it." He said, "well, it's just...

I've seen these for sale, and of course, they're fodder for mockery on the internet. Until Friday, I'd never actually seen someone wearing one in public, though. It was an older gentleman, very out-of-shape, carrying a CZ82. He had the badge hanging from a pleather holder around his neck...

S&W Model 29 Mountain Gun. The loads were factory CorBon 200gr .44 Special. The operator was an experienced shooter with military training. The shooter started with .44 Magnums, then switched to Specials. It's likely that he expected the milder report and recoil of the .44 Special loads and...

NRA-ILA has the news on this. Among other things, the bill would eliminate many of the "gotcha" techniques that exist to penalize dealers, and it would "permanently ban creation of a centralized electronic index of out of business dealers’ records," a good thing if the Tiahrt Amendment should...

--Elliot Spitzer, writing for Slate I don't think this'd work. Still, it gives me pause. I'm not worried about another blanket ban. What scares me is a sort of scheme like this, which would stand up to post-Heller scrutiny. The jury's still out as to whether it was intentional or not, but...

I ran across a nice Model 19 with floral pewter grips today. The owner got it that way (and was emphatically NOT willing to part with it :)) and doesn't know who made them. Does anyone currently make them?

I just acquired a S&W Model 10-5. I didn't think much of the dash when I took it in. It's easily 95%, with only the faintest hint of a turn-line on the cylinder. It does not appear to have been fired outside the factory, as there was almost no reside on the cylinder face. Bluing is otherwise...

I had the pleasure of firing a Stampede Marshall in .45 Colt the other day, and it was really enjoyable. It's a really nice platform, and I've found that Cimarron makes one in .44 Special. I see both companies make them for .357 Magnum, so I'm assuming they can handle "warmish" .44 loadings...
