The guy who owns the range where I shoot also teaches pistol permit classes. As part of his classes he uses a DA .22 revolver in live fire exercises. He has been doing this for a good many years, and his class revolver is getting tired so he's looking for a replacement. The problem is, he wants...

I received TWO e-mails today from the CMP. Both forwarded a warning about using hot or heavy loads in M1s and 1903 rifles. Most of you probably already are aware of this, but I'm posting it as a general advisory.

A recent article on the Tactical Life web site reports that Remington Ammunition has resumed production. https://www.tactical-life.com/gear/ammo/remington-ammunition-production/ The article says that the plant is looking to "ramp up" production in hopes of easing the ammunition shortage. Let's...

Does anyone know when CZ introduced the CZ-75 Compact with the decocker? I'm trying to help a writer who knows nothing about guns get her gun background correct enough that it won't wave any red flags in front of readers who know something about guns. Related question (for the same writer): Is...

I'm trying to help a friend with a translation. What are the proper Spanish words for "hammer " and "trigger"? I'm coming up with "martillo" and "gatillo," but my dictionary implies that a martillo is a carpenter's claw hammer, so that's a transliteration, but I don't know if it's correct in...

I've seen a number of cowboy style (or movie cowboy style) holsters for single action revolvers that have a rawhide loop that gets put around the hammer to prevent the firearm from departing the holster when riding. Is there any proper name for that loop?

This has been discussed before, and I know members here fall on both sides of the argument. I received an e-mail this morning, from a firearms manufacturer, touting their new AR "pistol." The image emblazoned across my screen shows their new "pistol." Color me old-fashioned, I guess, but from...

A friend of mine is looking for info on zeroing an AR-15 with some XM855 (62-grain) ammo he bought. Does anyone know the muzzle velocity out of a 20-inch and 16-inch barrel, and the ballistic coefficient for M855?

There is a proposal for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to adopt a rule that would help ensure fair access to financial services. Deadline for comment is January 4, 2021. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is encouraging members of the firearms community to submit...

Looking at some discussions on other sites I have come to realize that many Americans even among the group that might generally be labeled as "conservative" and pro-Constitution don't seem to know what the Constitution says, or much of anything about other important historical documents like the...

If anyone has a copy of the 1940 edition of FM 23-35 for the M1911 and M1911A1 pistols, I need to know the overall dimensions of the manual (page width and height) and the margin size(s). Thanks.

https://gatdaily.com/uspsa-range-officer-shot/ He was overseeing a match. The shooter fumbled reholstering his pistol at the load and make ready stage, the gun fell just wrong on a concrete floor, discharged, and hit the SO. Tragic.

https://www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com/product/ksa-9130-mini-mosin-rifle-only/ From what I can gather, this is basically a Crickett, all gussied up in a 2/3-scale Mosin Nagant stock. It's a single shot .22LR. I'm a sucker for rimfire replicas of mil-surp arms. This little rifle looks...

I've been using Winchester 231 for both .45 ACP and 9mm for a couple of decades. I still have some -- probably enough for my needs, but not a surplus in today's market. A friend who is just getting into reloading (starting with 9mm) decided he wanted to try Winchester 231, but neither he nor I...

I went to a super Walmart Sunday to get some things my nearby supermarket doesn't carry. Thinking of a recent discussion in Tactics and Training, I took a detour through Sporting Goods to see what Wally World is doing about ammo and such. They did have some ammunition in the locked case behind...

As a media member of the NSSF, I usually attend the SHOT Show every January. I've been debating whether or not to attend the next one, because I'm in the high-risk population for COVID-19. The debate has been resolved, and I didn't have to make a decision. I received the following from the NSSF...
