A friend received a Glock G30SF for Christmas. Last weekend he went to the range and experienced three FTF issues within a 100 round session. He went back to the LGS where he bought the gun and the guys told him the G30 magazines do not really handle maximum capacity and that he should only load...

Navy SEAL Accidently Shoots Self Wow, tragic, but a lesson for anyone handling firearms. A Navy SEAL was playing around with a gun which he apparently believed to be unloaded he pulled the trigger shooting himself in the head. At this point he is in the hospital on life support. The guy was...

http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/police-ga-fast-food-1279841.html I’ve linked to an article about a robbery in Savannah, GA that resulted in the death of one of the robbers. The article is pretty brief, but they may flesh it out as details become available. Apparently the Wendy’s was closed...

So, I understand what moon clips are and how they are used. What I am unclear about is if a revolver has to have a recessed area to accommodate the clip. I assumed that they did, but a friend says no. According to him moon clips will work with a standard revolver, but the recessed area does make...

I have heard a variety of urban legends about the S&W Scandium revolvers and how difficult they are to shoot. However, none of the folks I have spoken with actually own one of the guns and are only parroting what they have heard from someone else. So, I was curious how those of you who own...

Ok, another story about a guy carrying a firearm through the security checkpoint at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. The only unusual thing about this is that when the Police attempted to secure the weapon somehow, “the passengers’ gun went off” :eek:. I suspect the Police Officer and all the...

Georgia Tech is located in an area of Atlanta known as mid-town. The campus sort of separates a decent part of town from a not so decent part of town. The students themselves regrettably make easy targets for the thugs who populate the surrounding area. The students carry desirable items and...

I recently ordered 500 rounds of 9mm practice ammo from Brownells. The material was shipped via UPS and arrived in about a week which considering the holiday is pretty good. So, here is the thing that caused a little concern. When I arrived home the box was sitting beside the front door where...

The County Solicitor in Clayton County, Georgia the location of Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport has announced all guns seized at the airport will be destroyed. So, far this year 62 people have been arrested for attempting to pass through security checkpoints with firearms in their bags...

A friend informed me that his Grandfather had passed away and he has inherited Granddad’s gun collection. He plans to go and pick up everything this weekend and wants me to look it over to see what he has. I told him I am by no means an expert, but would be glad to assist. So, here is the...

I have been considering purchasing a SIG P228. A friend has one and it is equipped with an internal extractor. I understand that some of the older SIGs had problems related to the internal extractors, so they changed to external versions on their newer models. So, did all P228s have internal...

A few months ago I picked up a copy of the NRA Firearms Sourcebook. I am not sure how well this book is received by most folks, but I have enjoyed reading the variety of information. It kind of got me thinking what other books should be included in a good general firearms related library. So...

Went to dinner tonight with some friends and we were discussing firearms training. One of the guys made the comment that you should occasionally train by firing your weapon with no ear protection so you are prepared in a real life situation. :eek: He went on to say that the military does this to...

Ok, I have a Glock G20 10mm which I have decided to use as a woods gun with some of the more powerful loads. A friend suggested I replace the stock barrel with an aftermarket version from someone like Lone Wolf. He mentioned two advantages which I have sort of heard before, but don’t totally...

Some of this stuff is really hard to believe. In suburban Atlanta Police arrested a Mother after her three year old child fired a shotgun during a drug deal. :eek: No, the child was not involved in the deal, but unmonitored in the backseat with the shotgun. I wonder instead of trying to...

My Father passed away a couple of years ago and I inherited some of his long guns. One of the guns is an older double barrel shotgun that he got from my Grandfather. At some point the barrel was sawed off by my Grandfather. So, I have no plans to ever carry this anywhere and will most likely...

There was an accident at a Department of Corrections training center in Georgia yesterday that resulted in the death of a 24 year old rookie Probation Officer. They are not really releasing many details, but I have linked to the article anyway hopefully they will add to it later. One of the...

I have attached a link below to a story on Georgia Carry Organization’s WEB site. The gentleman in question has a valid Georgia Firearms License and was exercising his right to open carry while camping in a State park with his wife last February. As they were cooking out a Department of Natural...

Can anyone recommend a good OWB holster for a Glock G20 that would hold the gun high and tight that is not too expensive? I am familiar with all the various manufacturers, but I was just curious if someone might have a specific model to recommend. -Thanks

Some businesses now post signs stating that no firearms are allowed even though they would be allowed otherwise. It is my understanding that in Georgia these signs do not carry the force of law behind them, but I realize they do in other States. If I was aware that a business owner did not want...
