    New CCW abuse report online...

    This is a short one, and not the usual fare: while digging for something else, I found some late-1980s Florida court documents showing that the situation in FL prior to the 1986 shall-issue reform was just as crazy as anything California has come up with. Not a surprise, but it's kinda cool...

    Would a Scandium 8-shot N-frame .357 make sense?

    C title. Picture a 3" barrel, Scandium N-frame 8-shot. Porting optional. Moon clips of course. THAT might be the proper role for this Scandium stuff :). Get the weight somewhere up around...18oz, give or take a couple? Might make for a REALLY nice carry gun. While we're on the subject...

    WE NEED A NEW CALIBER! .22bore @ 2000+fps from a 4" tube...

    Given that small-frame guns like the SP101 can take .357Mag pressure levels, we need a new caliber: Call it the ".22Loonie" for the moment. Get a 40grain JHP up past 2,000fps, with a .22Mag-type rimfire shell stretched about half an inch or more. Pack eight of 'em into a cylinder the diameter...

    Why did Tasco cancel the Optima 2000? And what else is there like it?

    The Optima 2000 is discontinued. It was being made for Tasco by a *British* company, Firepoint...there are a small number of Firepoint sights (very similar to the O-2000) in stock at Brownells. See also: http://www.rugerforum.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001363.html Is there anything else similar to...

    Pondering revolver ballistics - is a 100grain .357 @ 2,000fps possible?

    I've been thinking over info available on Linebaugh's site http://www.sixgunner.com/linebaugh/ regarding his theories on heavy .45Cal bullets in the 325grain - 450grain range ahead of a healthy dose of slow-burn powder such as H110. He's getting excellent performance even with barrels as short...

    Good news: applying for CCW does NOT mean you surrender any rights.

    One of the arguments against applying for CCW, even one of the better shall-issue variants, is that it could be argued that you're voluntarily surrendering some or all of your 2nd Amendment rights. A 1901 US Supreme Court case (Cargill vs. Minnesota) says otherwise...
