I've noticed over the years that many posters on TFL and elsewhere, seem to make the assumption that criminals are bad shots and/or firearms handlers. That they never practice and don't know how to effectively use their weapons. "Lol, he'll be hold'in his gun sideways", "Some guy on drugs...

You should just get a Mosin in the best shape you can find. Put it in an after market stock, do a trigger job, put on a scope and see how it shoots. Mosin-Nagant Stock I'm not sure where you get that scope base, but S&K makes one that most anyone can install. Just google Mosin-Nagant...

The National Defense Authorization Act would... 1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States; (2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be...

From left to right: Standard .45 ACP, +P .45 ACP, .45 Super, .460 Rowland The .45 ACP and +P are Winchester. The web thickness of the .45 ACP is .067 the +P measures .059. The .460 Rowland, by the way has a web thickness of .054. :eek: Here is what we've learned so far. 1)Cartridge Brass...

Look what Starline says about .38 Special +P and 9mm+P Starline 2 grains less capacity on that .45 ACP +P is really not much difference. Bottom line is, if fired brass is used for a +P load that is safe for the firearm its used in and the case splits, so what. What bad is going...

I guess I'm a sucker for taking the bait. However, here goes. You haven't ever seen the 40 vs 9mm debate before? :p I guess I'm a bad 'ol internet curmudgeon/tough guy for typing 40 vs 9mm +P into Google. Okay I'll play, its not like I haven't before. Here is some fuel for the...

Company will load loved ones' ashes into ammunition 6:16 AM, Sep 30, 2011 A pair of Alabama conservation enforcement officers think they've come up with the perfect way for avid hunters to honor their loved ones for eternity. I'm loath to post links to news articles... However, this certainly...

First let me say that I do not own a Taurus Judge, nor do I want one. I just want the despisers of the Judge to articulate to me why they hate it. I know its a revolver that shoots .45 Colt and .410 Shotgun shells. Its got a long cylinder, but its not super funny lookin'. So why all the jokes...

Oh yeah, they run alright, but not before they've ruined your outing. I watch nature shows too.

Well, as many here guessed, the antis are already suggesting new gun laws. Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill One of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as...

...and I mean new. A couple of months ago I put it on my wish list at Bud's Gun Shop well about three weeks ago they got them back in stock. So here it is a new 2010 Auto-Ordnance 1911A1. I've been reading about them and thinking about getting one for two, or three years. I just now got around...

Lately, more and more it seems that quotes are going unattributed. This makes posts and even whole threads hard to follow. For instance some one will quote one line, from 3 or 4 different people, often times from different pages as well. Having a link to those quotes is too much to ask I...

Whoa, wait a minute. This thread is about the .357 125 grain Federal, not the .357 125 grain Gold Dot. More to the point which one is the vaunted 'King of the Street' that some like to speak of? The famous 'one shot stopper'. Looks like to me that the 'King of the Street' of song and legend...

I was just looking at my Sept 2009 issue of American Rifleman. It has a top ten handguns of all time article in it. I thought it would be fun if I put their picks in a poll and see how the order turned out here on TFL. Remember I'm using American Rifleman's top ten picks, so if your favorite...

It is far more realistic to look at clothed gealitin tests, instead of bear. In any case, if deep penetration on bare gelatin is the criteria you go by, then my personal choice of the 180 grain Win Partition Gold out does the rest every time. I notice that you used the gel test data for the...

I thought all the revolver fans might enjoy seeing this. :) In 1957 S&W shipped 230 special order 5 inch K38s to the ISP. It is not factory lettered yet, but the original owner was an Illinois State Trooper and the serial number falls in the correct range. It has a little holster wear, but...

.357 Magnum loads The first bullet, powder combo I used was the Sierra 125 grain JHP over 17.5 grains of 2400 and a magnum primer. That wasn't too bad a load, but I used it 25 years ago and have learned a lot since then. First of all, although I never personally experienced it, the full...

What changes did Winchester make to the Model 12 to make it a feather weight? I don't have time to do my own research right now, I have to go to the range.:) Thanks in advance for the info.

Here OP I'll give you the image below. When you see a 2-3 year old thread brought back to the top, you can use it. You can add the :confused: or :rolleyes: Smilies for added sarcasm if you like. :confused::rolleyes::confused: Like that.

This is not a 'which is best, or mines better than yours thread.' I thought that instead of flaming each other and making ridiculous unfounded claims; that it would be nice to name and discuss our favorite deer cartridge/s. Feel free to name more than one and perhaps relate a few personal...
