Glasses: I need to get an eye exam and new prescription. I want to get frames that are very durable, since I will be using them for IDPA and other outdoor sports. Any ideas on make and models? CCW: One of my activities is running and I thought I would like to carry while running. Any...

From what I have found, the 5.56 round (military) is hotter than commercial .223. I was interested in getting a new ADL in .223 and wanted to know if there would be a pressure factor or if I could use any .223/ 5.56 ammo. Thanks, -Coop

(NC)Yup, more crap Was just down at the courthouse over lunch (updating the address change on my carry permit because that's soooo important) and I noticed a new sign. Pistol permit forms must now be accompanied by TWO notarized reference letters... whatever. Good 'ole Durham.

Anyone entertain the use of night vision goggles for house clearing and the like... I always hear about flashlights and proper lighting. I don't have NV stuff, but I see the prices are dropping a bit. A thought. Coop

Had a few minutes before a night match on Saturday, so I decided to test fire my new 870P. I ran some Brenneke KOs through it... nice. And some WallyWorld Federal #7.5 on-special through it... about an 8" circle at 5 yards. This is interesting I shot S&B 00 (12 pellet cheap stuff) at 5...

Hi All, Just picked one up for my 870 and was wondering the best way to clean it (boresnake). Do you throw it in the washing machine and dryer w/ regular detergent? Thanks, -Coop

Ok, Thanks everyone, for the advice on cleaning and lubing a new gun. I field stripped it and dropped the trigger group. The trigger group is aluminum, so I would venture to say that the PM's are still this way. But, I have no idea how long this one was on the shelf. It seemed that the...

Anyone know if the 870pm with rifle sights come sighted in at any particular range. Will be sighting in a new one in and wanted to get an apprximate for slugs. -Coop

Just picked up a new 870PM (#4888). Stocks, at first I wasn't sure about the wood, but after handling and seeing them, I think I really like the contrast. LOP is too long (I'm 5'7") Action is stiff and so is the trigger Oh yeah, cheeseball follower :) So, what should I do before testing...

I spray all my firearms with a light coat of Remoil(w/teflon). I do this after cleaning as a rust preventative and not as a friction/application lube. I have used and have a few now, pro-lube, Mobil-1, lithium grease, and last night I picked up a tube of TW-25B (I'm a sucker for "try this...

Factory Golden Saber 230gr. (.45 ACP) S-A Milspec I unload my gun at the end of the day and noticed that one of these has set back. I didn't measure it yet, but believe the set back is ~1mm or maybe 1/32''. Sorry about the crappy measurements. How much set back is dangerous in .45 ACP? I...

Anyone use a Talon Tactical IWB? Looks nice since it seems to be one continuous piece. Other suggestions. Looking for kydex IWB for a BHP. Regards, -Coop I carry leather IWB now, how does kydex compare in comfort/slimness?

My father is in his late 60's and not in the best health. He suffered a stroke a few years back and lost the use of his good arm. It works for gross movement only, but no finger control. He recently expressed an interest in getting a CCW (PA), and wanted something smallish he could pocket...

? for NC residents... Please help Good morning all, I am looking to move within the next few weeks and had a question of location. I am currently in Durham and will either move within Durham or to Chapel Hill. I was hoping to get some info on Chapel Hill in regards to gun friendliness...

I'm looking at a coupla 870 PMs and can get either an 18 or 20". I've read a lot of threads saying that there really is not a difference and that the 18" will handle better. Was curious as to just how much more awkward the 20" would be in an HD scenerio versus what kind of velocity increase it...

I've heard great things about the long range variants (10 and 110 models). How about the sporter models? I am looking at the Rem 700 ADL, but would entertain a Savage if the quality is there. Best, -Coop

Hi all, I'm here in Durham, NC and went yesterday to find some 00 buck to pattern my 870. I went to Dick's and they had only Rem express 00 magnum load. I went to Walmart and they didn't have ANY 00, just #1 buck. I was really looking for some swat or tac loads (reduced recoil) and don't...

For kicks, I measured my 870 police barrel last night. I always thought it was 18.5" for some reason. Well, it's not a hair over 18". Talk about cutting it close! Makes me nervous that someone in authority might have a not-so-perfect tape if they ever measured it :) Q- Why 18" on a SG and...

Thinking of painting the stock on a rifle I haven't even bought yet. Looking at ADL in synthetic or Savage equivalent in wood. Will paint either. Is painting the wood stock a problem? Thanks, -Coop

What's the difference b/n the 48 and 48A? The 48 is about $10-20 more expensive. Thanks, Coop BTW, is $190 a good price for an unissued 48?
