Yesterday it finally came in the mail, 2000 shiny 124gn 9mm bullets. Today I was planning on doing a workup of a couple loads and shooting them to see how they do, but the weather is pretty atypical out here today. 58 and rainy in Arizona. So here goes my question, will the loads I work on...

I just recently started reloading and have found it a pleasure. I bought a Lee Classic Turret and have been loading 115gn Berrys plated round nose bullets over 5.2gn Ramshot True Blue. I worked up from 4.6gn using my Lee Pro auto disk powder measure one aperture at a time and see no need to go...

I have been pocket carrying my S&W 642 J-frame in a Safariland pocket holster for a while and think I ought to get an ankle holster to add more options of carry mode, particularly for those "grey areas" where I don't want to be made. I have it down to the Galco ankle glove or this one pictured...

I did a bit of looking around, and my ccw reciprocity ends at the Nevada border, so I will have to pull over and either open carry or take the gun off and put it in the lock box. I understand I could open carry, but I do not think I would outside of the car, but it is an option for while I am...

The title pretty much says it all, I've been doing it for a while because if you get into the letter of the law there are some places where a firearm is a no-no, but no other weapons are mentioned. It also works good with pocket carry. I have found it real easy to throw a 26'' asp into my...

I have been wondering what to do if somebody attacks with a "less lethal" weapon. I don't know how I could find myself in this situation, but for the sake of argument what if I drop my tazer of a purse snatcher tries to use pepper spray against me. Couldn't you argue that an attacker could...

I have been taking a marketing class and just for fun I have decided to do my big marketing plan on opening a gun shop. now I find myself in the difficult spot of needing information on sales figures, demographics, and cost prices for some of the products I would sell. This is something I would...

My modest 6 gun collection just got a little more balanced. Almost a month ago I had some more problems with the Kel Tec p3at so I traded it and $100 for a used S&W 642, My first revolver. It is a big change from the KT, but it still serves as a pocket gun and I have much more confidence in the...

Alright I am ready for the snobs, but please honest evaluation. I will be finally going to a ccw class this weekend, and this is what I intend to carry after the permit comes. In case you can't clearly see, It is a G17 in a Glock holster on a spec-ops web belt. I will also carry a Kel tec p3at...

I had a stovepipe failure on my G17 at the range yesterday, but the funny thing is I was looking right at the dented primer. The next round was stripped from the mag and halfway loaded. I was using a cheapo gun show special hi cap magazine. So here is the question, can I blame the mag for the...

pretty simple question. would you use that term to describe yourself as Obama did when he was in Germany. I am personally not a citizen of the world, I am an American. EDIT I meant I live outside America for option 2

Simple poll do you carry a full mag and 1 in the chamber, or just put in a full mag, chamber the first round and go. If you carry with an empty chamber, I guess this does not apply to you. I'll go first, since I carry a G17 I am just fine with 17 rounds thank you. I like being able to clear...

Retention holsters, your thoughts. Not what you use just what you think. I tried to include every possible position. I am trying to determine when members of TFL here think they are good, or when they are unnecessary or not worth the compromises. Please explain your vote.

I feel a little guilty, I just went out and shot my mossy 590, but it had been almost 2 years since the last time I fired it. I am trying to neglect it less. 1) Does anybody make a choked barrel for the 590 yet? It is primarily a HD gun, but I like shooting clays for practice. 2) I finally...

OK, I'm not a cop and no longer want to be one. I did however get a part time job working armed security to get me through college. I have to get a Duty belt, Retention holster for a G17 2 mag pouch Asp or other good baton OC Cuffs nylon or kydex should be good for all of the above I have a...

I just got a new GLOCK 17 and I had the salesman put some trijicon night sites on it in the store. I am not sure whether to blame the sights or myself. At ten meters I my groups are about 2" left of the center line from the sandbag seated. standing they are 3" or more. rapid fire puts some...

Hello everybody, it's been a long time since my last post as I have been in afghanistan for almost a year. My return home is coming up and I will be buying my daughter a .22 rifle. I would appreciate some imput on generaly wether to get her a bolt action, pump or semiauto, and specifically which...

Is the "new posts" button on the user side the same as the "today's posts" button on the guest side? Why the difference?

The title pretty much says it. I am pretty handy with a rifle of pistol, but I am very green when it comes to shottys. Well yesterday I just went out and bought a mossberg 590 (20'' barrel). I paid $300 + tax @ big 5. But now I am starting to wonder Is this a good all around shotgun? Is this a...

I am headed out camping this weekend and decided to open carry my sig 229. I just recently got the gun and have only put winchester white box fmj ammo through it. so the question is go with what is underpowered, but I know works reliably, or go buy some self defense ammo and hope it works if I...
