Talk about biased articles! http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/05/nra-guns-sales-control-zimmerman-police-213895 It's difficult to know where to begin. This article portrays the Kel-Tec 9 as a "Saturday Night Special." The article creates the impression that police departments are...

For years, Brownells carried a Mueschke-type ambi safety with the paddles in the current "teardrop" style as seen on Colt 1991 pistols (and many others). Not extended safeties. Naturally, now that I've decided it's time to buy a couple -- they are discontinued by the manufacturer. Brownells...

Until a few days ago I was very much a supporter of the Second Amendment Foundation. The SAF, as much as or probably more than the NRA, has been the source of many of the major court cases (and victories) for Second Amendment rights over the past couple/few years. However ... a few days ago I...

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/supreme-court-leaves-assault-weapons-ban-intact-n475421?cid=par-sy-juno-gen4 The SCOTUS has declined to hear an appeal of the decision allowing Chicago to ban "assault weapons." That's bad enough, but I'll make a wild guess that this pretty much kills any...

I'm prepping to do battle with my town's town council) about being able to carry a loaded handgun under a State-issued carry permit. Currently there's a town ordinance prohibiting such carry. There's a hearing scheduled for Wednesday evening. I have a recollection that somewhere in either...

Last weekend I had my SKS out and, after shooting it, I realize that I really don't much like it. But I would like to have something in 7.62x39, so I'm casting about for ideas of what I might get to replace the venerable SKS. One thought is a Ruger Mini 30 ... if I decide to stay with a...

I hitched a ride to Cabela's today with a friend and his family. To my surprise, they actually had a few boxes of .22LR ammo left on the shelf, so I bought five boxes. The ammo was Remington Cyclone, high velocity HP. The box was the typical Remington design we all (probably) know: However...

The dilemma of the day is that I'm gearing up for a photo shoot of an 1873 SAA replica. I have a decent holster rig for it, I have a pair of western style riding boots, and I have a length of hemp rope that can be laid out in a passable likeness of a cowboy's lariat. I don't have a western...

I am about to embark on my first attempt at loading .38 Super. If any .38 Super owners/shooters out there have some factory ammo, I would like to ask if you would measure up the cartridge overall length and post that, along with the make of the ammo and the bullet type and weight. Many thanks.

Is anyone here a member of the Rimfire Central forum? If so, I would appreciate it if you could get me the e-mail address for a moderator or administrator and send it to me in a PM here. I've been a properly registered and participating member of RC for a couple or three years, at least. I...

For those who have been paying any attention to Connecticut, you may already be aware that the governor wasn't satisfied with the draconian, backroom, anti-gun package he rammed through the legislature in 2013. He followed up by appointing a "blue ribbon" panel (does a governor ever appoint any...

http://www.courant.com/politics/hc-guns-restraining-orders-20150130-story.html#page=1 I'm hearing from "gunny" friends in Connecticut that the governor and his minions, as predicted, are going to be trying to make the most draconian gun laws in the country even worse in this year's session of...

A comment in this thread mentions that the trigger pull on the P238 is 8 pounds. By this time most people are aware that the P238 and the new Kimber 380 are copies of the Colt Mustang, which in turn was derived from the Spanish Star Model D. But the P238 and the new Kimber 380 have a removable...

Is there anyone here does DOESN'T believe that registration will lead to confiscation? Read on (from my e-mail this morning): http://www.rep-am.com/news/connecticut/856007.txt http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2015/01/16/final-sandy-hook-report-expected-next-month/...

I've been reloading .45 ACP for 1911s for several years. I'd like to branch out to include .38 Super. I have brass, and I have bullets. The problem I face is that the only pistol powder I have is Winchester 231, and the Hodgden/Winchester web site doesn't offer any load data at all for .38 Super...

I could use a bit of guidance. I've been happily loading Berry's 230-gr plated RN bullets for .45 ACP for a number of years. I'm now facing doing up some loads using Hornady's XTP bullets, both 185-gr and 230-gr in .45 ACP. Not finding much load data but I think I'm close enough to make it go...

Is there any correlation between/among the sizes of S&W double action revolvers with Taurus DA revolvers? If so, can someone kindly clue me in on the designations and the size progression, and perhaps guide me as to what Taurus sizes most closely correspond to what S&W sizes? I'm primarily...

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/12/nsa-phone-surveillance-ruling-101569.html A New York judge has ruled that the NSA's program of telephony surveillance is not unlawful. This ruling conflicts with a previous ruling from another district that held the program IS unlawful. What bothers me is...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/us/monitoring-of-snail-mail.html?_r=0 Hmmm ... It seems to me there is one HUGE difference between this snail mail snooping (not that I approve of it) and PRISM: The gummint can get a warrant and open someone's mail only before it has been delivered. If they...
