    TFL Elite Ghost Recon Team

    Guys, I think I'm getting an X-box this weekend - needed a DVD player, so... Gonna pick up the Live version kit too - anyone already play Ghost Recon live? Who's up for an Elite TFL GR team to own the world? :) (once I get good at it, that is). This may be just the thing to break my DII...

    Tactical Gloves

    Just FYI, I've found that these ordinary $15 winter golfing gloves give you much more dexterity and control than $50+ leather gloves, and actually improve the grip on a handgun over a bare hand. You have enough dexterity to get out your keys and open car and house doors with them on, too...

    Anyone use a red dot for a AR or other .223? Which? Also, some ACOG content

    Hopefully some of you can help me with this. I'm looking to get a good all-purpose sight for my Bushy (bullpup not AR), and have looked at some red dots and some ACOG scopes. I'm thinking red dot, not only because ACOGs are pricey but also because fast acquistion takes predominance over...

    You guys seen this site?

    http://www.misanthropic-bitch.com/millionsowmarch.html Her take on the MMM is only one of many subjects. Not a G rated site, by the way.

    Cocked & UNlocked carry; Safety only for pre-holster use?

    After carrying a Glock for some time, I've become used to, and like the pull and shoot idea - no safeties to worry about under stress. Oh but you cant do that with the 1911 and other SAs, right, because when it's cocked the safety must be on, else it's unsafe. I say BS to this, because the...

    Ban Cockfighting?

    Tomorrow on the ballot there is a state question here in OK to ban cockfighting - it's a bit of a heated issue, too. The people in that sport claim that if cockfighting is banned, it's a slippery slope to banning rodeos, hunting, etc. - and it's only out-of-state forces behind this proposal...

    Which volume .22lr ammo?

    Both Federal and Remington sell the big boxes at retail stores, I think 550 quantity, exact same price - which one do you prefer - specifically, does one cycle semi-autos more reliably than the other? Depend on rifle vs. pistol?

    North Carolinians - some choice, huh?

    Grrrr - for Senate, you can choose an anti-gun candidate, or Liddy Dole, a genuine RINO, who has made unequivocal anti-gun statements in the past, but now of course pre-election tows the vague line of "enforce existing laws, I believe in the 2nd amendment, yada yada". :(

    Old German Walthers

    A lady at the Wannamacher show had a boxful of P9s I think they're called (the later, stronger version of the P-38, which can handle +p ammo), in excellent, never-fired condition, for $250 each. I thought it was a great deal, but didn't have $250 on me at the time - man that pistol is extremely...

    Can someone tell me why my new Bushy came with castrated mag?

    It came with one mag; holds 10 rounds; looks like a 20 rounder, but it's been castrated. If it was pre-94, then why castrated - just sell it with the gun as is. If it's post-94 manufacture, just create 10 rounder from the start. Is it for looks only, or to provide a protruding piece for...

    Ideal CCW Handgun barrel length? (drawing ease issue)

    OK, here's the deal - the other day, just for kicks, I carried my Springfield longslide 6" bbl .45 as my CCW, in a Milt Sparks yaqui belt slide, all day. To my pleasant surprise, it was extremely easy to conceal (with a jacket, which I wear Monday through Friday all year). The jacket extended...

    What gun to grab? Disturbance inside vs. outdoors

    If you hear a bump in the night indoor, which gun is grabbed first at your home? If you hear commotion outside and/or your dogs barking (outdoors) in the middle of the night, which gun? Same or different? Why? Right now, I would grab the Springfield .45 6" indoors, and the Rem 870 pump 12 ga...

    9MM in .40 mags in Springfield XD

    Someone on another thread said you could fit 15-16 in .40 mags. Questions. 1. Seems unlikely that 5 extra rounds could go in a .40 mag designed for 10??? 2-3 seems more likely. 2. Would it function flawlessly without modification? 3. If answer to 2 is no, what mods would be necessary...

    Extended/wide-top mag release questions (1911)

    First, do you think a "wide-top" type extended mag release will snag on clothing during a draw? Second, which kind of wide-top release is best? McCormick, what? Thanks.

    Stephanopolous taking over for Sam and Cokie

    on ABC's This Week, starting next week. I think this is a good thing, given Sam and especially Cokie's hatred/fear of guns, and the high number of peeps who watch the talking heads on Sun morning. I'm impressed with Georgie boy - although he does have a *slight* liberal bent, I see him as a...

    Outstanding service by Smith and Alexander

    Just want to give a kudos to S&A. If you don't already know, the call themselves "The Mag Guide People" or something similar. They make magwell guides and full length grips (compatible with magwell guides). Barbara at S&A deserves a special mention for the recent service - I had a mag guide...

    Hornady vs. Dillon press

    An acquaintance of mine recently got the top of the line Hornady press, and it's quite impressive - no pun intended. Does anyone have one of these, and how does it compare with with a 650 or 1000-something Dillon?

    Lotta shootin' in the movie "Dillinger"

    Caught this movie for first time on AMC channel - lots of 1911s, Tommy guns, .38 snubbies; but my favorite part was the shootout at the country inn, where Dillinger's girlfriend laid down covering fire with the BAR from the upstairs window, while Dillinger escaped from the feds.
