    "The Man" is worth more than you

    Posted on Anti-State.com : The Man is Worth More Than You by Warren Tilson Today I want to talk about "officer safety." This phrase is popping up more and more, or at least I am just paying more attention to it, and it seems to be a major doctrine within police departments. I had heard...

    GP-100 Front site, Fiber Optic or simple bright insert

    I found both fiber optic and plastic insert front sites that I can drop into my KGP-141.. My first thought is that changing out just the front with a fiber optic may not be soo good, I'm sure the plastic insert sight will be fine with the white outline factory rear. I did consider replacing...

    Cost to install front sight insert

    I'm looking to get a plastic insert installed on my wife's Taurus 627. Is this usually a replace the sight situation, or grind and install an insert? Just trying to get a rough idea of what to expect in the way of costs and such.

    Par time for draw and fire 1 shot COM or double-tap COM 21ft

    This weekend I finally figured out where my wifes real weak point is for IDPA and SD in general, she has a problem with her draw and was doing a few things a bit wrong. So, we went back to basics. Started with Draw fire 1-shot COM, them moved on to draw and double-tap COM. Probably burned...

    Forget the mugshots.. how about video clips?

    blue danube shoot.mpg File is around 15megs in size, not too big.. In mpeg-1 format so it should be playable just about anywhere, and is certainly suitable for burning onto VCD (which is what I did).. So far it's been received well, pretty funny stuff and not bad (if I do say so myself)...

    Price per pound for used wheelweights

    Just wondering what the 'going' rate for wheelweights is. I expect a bit of variance, maybe even a lot...just trying to get an idea. I got a local guy here that says he gets 12 cents per pound from some trap shooters (I guess they make shot). I figured I could pay 25cents a pound and pay for a...

    EAA Windicator Durability report

    As I've posted in the past on the EAA Windicator, I thought I'd do a quick follow up (also going to update my article on handloads.com). After around 2000rds, still running good....BUT.. I found the weakness. The front cylinder catch is engaged via a slot in the ejecter, when the rear...

    Humidity management and storage of tools/ammo

    I'm in need of some sort of storage for tools an ammo, maybe powder/primers and stuff.. And I'm kinda in a quandary about how to manage humidity. This will be in the basement, humidity isn't too bad but heck it's 60% right now, usually runs about the same in the basement. I'm thinking about...

    Difference between skeet, trap and turkey shoot ;-)

    Well, I'm not sure that 'Turkey Shoot' is a common term, all I remember is my dad taking part in one with a double barrel blackpowder 12guage... smoke galore... Always wondered..

    Court rulings on police obligation to protect

    I've read in several articles, reports, books..etc.. That the 'courts' have ruled the police/government has no obligation to protect the citizens. Can anybody direct me to specific court case(s)? I tried searching the supremes but couldn't seem to come up with the right keywords to return a...

    Dogs ears, shouldn't they wear hearing protection?

    Just curious, I know many hunting dogs have ears that 'flop down' providing a small amount of protection.. The reason I ask is my wife want's to bring our german shepherd mix along with us when we're out shooting.. Seems to me that dogs ears would be damaged more due to their increased...

    do-it-yourself match timer?

    I'd like to build a timer for practice purposes, nothing fancy as anything beats yelling "bzzzzzzzt" ;-). The main reason I'd prefer to build is.. I've probably got most of the stuff I need.. Any sites with schematics? Tried searching the net at large, far too many irrelevant hits.

    .357 revo - Redding Profile crimp die or anoder RCBS seater/crimper

    I'm planning on upgrading my chucker with a piggyback III and figure I'd be better off seating and crimping in seperate operations. Wondering about any advantages to using the Redding profile crimp die for .357 revolver use? I figure it's either that or get another RCBS carbide die set and...

    soaking cylinder in solvent

    I've heard from some folks that for good cleanin (carbon rings and the like) that they soak their cylinder overnight. I'd like to do that (now that I've got 2 gallons of Ed's Red all ready to go) but I can't seem to find the right container. It would be nice to find something that can be...

    Thinking about PiggyBack III (already read previous posts)

    I'm wondering if it even makes sense, I'd like to up my ammo output, but I prefer to do the following: 1) Decap and expand 2) Tumble 3) Prime (using hand primer) 4) Charge and seat... Would it be a pain to decap and expand on the piggyback without charging/seating.. And then come back and...
