The Mec-Tec is a straight blowback, so I suppose too fast burning of a powder would be no good - dont want a giant blast from the action - but what do you suppose might be a happy medium to get a little added performance from the 16" bbl over say a 5" ??? Or at least a starting point, for those...

Tell them to vote no on S. 890, the bill to shut down gun shows, which could be voted on in the next couple of weeks. Give a little to NRA and GOA if you can. Find out how to contact your critters here: http://www.capwiz.com/nra/dbq/officials/

How does one go about setting up a berm or fabricated backstop to do regular shooting. Just haul in some dirt? Or is it more complicated than that? Anyone have a nice backstop on their own land - what did it take to construct it? Thanks.

Like a Para or Kimber or what-have-you? I don't see why not, but.....

Well, as all of us know, an armed society is a polite society. And we know that 99% of the armed populace is MORE polite and restrained to others, and will attempt to avoid confrontation, due to our being armed - mostly because we don't want to start something that may escalate into a need for...

Had quite an eventful weekend: Got a CCU in .45acp for 1911 frames - actually had a few holes in the target, despite shooting it for first time with NO sighting system of any kind - ha. It's a hoot. :) [Then - OT - dislocated my elbow playing hockey Sun - learned an additional nuance to the...

Thinking of putting something along the lines of "ACME Boomstick" or ".450 CrazyBastardMagnumButtStomper" on my 1911. ???

to email another member and tell them in no uncertain terms exactly what you think of them, in colorful language? :) I need to know, cuz if not, one guy's gonna get it.

It was pointed out to me that the .451 detonics was just a .45 with same OAL, but slightly longer case, to prevent chambering in an acp. Sounds like the rowland to me. I know there's little new under the sun in cartridges, but is the rowland EXACTLY the same as the old detonics?

A posted a similar thread some months back, but now I'm considering this more seriously. A friend of mine says he really thinks I oughtta join (well he thinks reserves), becuase of the money/benefits, because he knows I'd enjoy playing war games, shooting guns, etc., and I'd go in as a captain...

Please tell both your Senators to co-sponsor the bill to arm pilots, and urge its passage. Tell them armed pilots would have prevented 9/11. Especially write them if they're up for re-election this year. You can find how to contact them by going here...

My new Milt Sparks belt slide holster has slots to wear it either outside the belt (on the belt), or inside the belt (between the belt and waistband. I plan on using it outside the belt, and see no advantage to BTBATW - it's less comfortable and shortens usable belt length. So, am I missing...

Only problem was, it's a .45 pistol: Oops

Have a full-sized one; am now looking for the best VERY VERY small one that folds up to throw in the pocket. Have seen some cheap ones, but want a quality one. I don't care if the only tools it has are pliers, flathead, phillips - those are what I need - other tools are just a bonus (already...

Appears to be a Tales of the Gun marathon on History Channel today. :)

I'm not from the 50s, but I've seen many tv shows and movies about them, and even know some people who lived then. ;) Since there are quite of few of this vintage from TFL, I'd like to glean their perspective to help out this confused "spring chicken", about trend of gang violence in the U.S...

And man am I impressed. Aside from the 2-round-castrated mags, this is an outstanding pistol, for a full size (not news to most, of course). Of course the fit and finish were excellent, but particularly impressive are the: 1. Longer trigger guard for quick trigger acquisition and use with...

I could have posted this here, or Gear, or the Semi-Auto forum, but wanted to get the opinions of some experienced competition shooters. Participated in my first IPSC (newbie) shoot last weekend. Did OK - gun did not malfunction, brain did, but it was fun. At any rate, I don't want to go off...

One of many thoughts I've had recently on this subject is this - and I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of it, on either side, pro-gun or anti: WHEN the ban sunsets (it WILL - there is NO if - only a question of whether or not it's renewed), even if it is renewed at some point a few days...
