Going to Cabela's employee pricing special event in 2 hours 7 minutes - pros and cons between the XD compact and tactical in 45 (has to be a 5 incher).

I’m posting this because, at times, some of the advice I read seems to belong in the fiction or paranoia section. I’d like to hear about attacks in the outdoors that YOU, personally, have been involved with. Not “I heard” or “I read” stories. On top of that I would like to know if a firearm...

It seems like more and more no firearms signs are popping up where I live. I'm thankful nobody has placed a sign on my vehicle. There were three homicides in Kansas City last night. The news woman was standing in front of a sign posted along the side of the street - No Firearms - at the...

Got a fairly decent deal on a M63 - 8 shot, stainless, 5 inch barrel, j-frame S&W - the 22 LR I never knew that I always had to have. Oh please, please, S&W make a 6 or 7 shot 22 Mag version (I'm putting the money aside with high hopes). The dimensions are the same as the M60, 5 shot 357 but...

The G&A guys did a torture test today that made me sick. They stuck a squib load (2 grains or so of powder) in a Smith and Wesson 686. Lodged the bullet. Then shot two more squib loads, jamming a total of 3 bullets in the 6" 686. Then they fired a full power 357 125 grain bullet. The...

I received a Cabela's flyer in the mail - and they have a Marlin 410 lever shotgun for sale at $500. I saw one of these about 4 years ago and my first thought was "What for?" I own a 12 guage that I use for everything from dove to turkey. My first shotgun experience decades ago was with a...

My wholesale dealer is on vacation - I was out of my usual powder and plinking 9 mm bullets. Went to Cabela's, bought some 9mm Magtech Luger FMC (full metal jacket) 124 grain bullets and a pound of Alliant Blue Dot (they didn't have much in powder selection). What would be the min and max for...

Can somebody educate me on the advantages and disadvantages between the two? Is one preferred to another for certain circumstances?

Clearing the junk out of my basement. Found this magazine. It is a Glock 26, 10 round magazine, it is loaded with 9 rounds of 115 grain, +P, Corbon (the hot 9 MM round from back then). It has been loaded and untouched since 1997. Will it function - yes or no.

I have a little bit of use with a recently purchased Maxpedition Fatboy S shoulder bag. I am posting just in case anybody has seen the picture at http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=18&idproduct=31 The site shows a Beretta 92 in the “hidden”compartment. Just wanted to...

I just got back from a trip. One evening, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, flyfishing for dinner, I couldn't get the trout to strike anything I had. They would come up to the surface, look the flies over, then meander along. I know I could have taken a few for the frying pan with a 22LR...

I got some 38 caliber, 158 grain, Speer Gold Dots. I cut one in half. Looks like a copper jacket around lead alloy. What makes a Speer Gold Dot so great for personal defense ammo?

I am feeling mentally challenged right now and want to find out if I have been doing anything else "unsafe" for the last few years. I just found out that I probably shouldn't have been using my rifle 357 mag reloads in a revolver. The load is too light for the revolver. Are there any concerns...

I finally got a chronograph at the end of last year. I've been having fun shooting my reloads through it this year. It's a Pact. Yesterday, I was shooting a reload box of .357 125 grain bullets over 15.8 grains of H110. One of the rounds didn't sound or feel right. I stopped firing opened...

I don't care about the arguments for or against fully supported chambers - I just have a simple question: What 9 millimeters have fully supported chambers? I know a Glock 26 and a Beretta 92 do not. Which ones do?

but I just quietly laughed and sent a massive chunk of copper and lead screaming waaaaaay down range. The manual says to not fire more than 4 rounds during an outing. The concussive blast from the muzzle brake was like a quick jab to the face. I can't stop smiling - what a blast, literally...

I used to own a Ruger Mark I (skinny barrel, fixed sights). I sold it last year because the offer was just too good. I’ve been missing that Ruger more than I knew. That is the only way I can explain my impulse buy on a 5 ½”, bull barrel, Mark III this weekend. I broke it down last night for...

Has anyone loaded and fired a shot capsule out of a carbine? Would there be any concerns associated with firing some of these out of a 1894C (38/357 Marlin)? http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=313962&t=11082005

I recently built a box that holds 1 inch pine boards - I had wanted to use it to see how a NAA 22LR compared to other 22 LR pistols, however my NAA broke this weekend. I am not going to fix the pistol because it would cost more than I paid for it. I can't let the box go to waste so I am going...

That is the title to an article in a recent Military.Com article - http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,143790,00.html?ESRC=army.nl They want to provide the best weapons to the soldiers.
