In another thread, I just saw a reference to temporary wound cavity and a small argument on whether it actually did any real damage. Then I had a thought: I've been kicked in the liver before, and the mere force of the shock to the liver put me down immediately. It's almost like an unexpected...

A few months back, I bought a used S&W model 28. It's a great shooter and I used the guidelines from the revolver checkout to make sure it was good to go when I bought it. I've put about 500 rounds through it and at the end of my last range session I noticed the trigger would become much heavier...

I have a potential trade for a nice model 28-2, but it isn't a blued model. It's been nickel plated and has gold accents. The hammer, trigger and cylinder release are gold in color. It's a 4" barrel and isn't a florida highway patrol gun, nor is it one of the 54 nickel plated factory guns made...

I've got a problem that just started with a glock 20. It was having a lot of ftf and several stovepipes for it's new owner. I just sold it to this guy, he's an experienced shooter and know his glocks well. I feel like a douche because I didn't have any issues and now he is. Don't want him to...

So I sold a glock 20 recently and upon meeting with the seller the pistol was difficult to take apart. The guiderod and spring appeared to be slipping off the perch and catching when the slide is retracted. The buyer didn't seem too concerned, but today sent me a message saying he's having lots...

Found Romanian tokarevs for $189 and I got a guy locally that is selling surplus ammo at $10/100. I've wanted one as a range toy for a while, but to be honest I don't know much about them or what kind of a deal they are at $189 before tax and transfer fee.

J&G has Romanian tokarevs for $189, add $20 if I get hand select. I have a line on surplus ammo locally for $10/100. These both seem like good deals, unless I can find a tokarev locally, that way no transfer fees. I've looked around a bit and found a couple pretty bad reviews, but nothing that...

I'm looking at buying an S&W mod 28 from a local gentleman and it seems to be in 85-90% condition. He's asking $450, a price drop from $500 he was asking before. I also see a newer 4" 686 going for $575 and wonder if there's really any reason to buy the 686 over the mod 28?

I sold my XD and now I get to buy a new toy. I have 2 carry guns right now that are SA/DA with thumb safeties and would like my next pistol to be similar in function. I'm thinking the FNX in 9mm or 4 could be just what I'm looking for, 4" barrel, light weight(23oz, or so) and good capacity. I'd...

Let's skip the arguments over whether leaving a gun in my car is a good idea. I can't carry at work and it has to stay in my car while I work and it may spend several days there at a time. My employer doesn't allow carry while on the clock or on company property, so I park off their lot and...

I want to have some work done to my SP-01 and am leaning towards Angus and crew at cz customs, are there any other options I should consider instead? I want to have the competition hammer installed and have a general action/trigger job done.

I read a few posts where people used engine oil on their guns. What are the advantages and disadvantages? I know most engine oils have cleaners and treatments in them and that might be an advantage. High grade synthetic oils seem like a good choice, since they stand up to abuse better than...

I've had a JC Higgins 22 rifle, model 42 DL. It also says sear and roebuck co on the side, I believe it was purchased through a catalog. I've had it since the mid 90's, got it as a gift when I was about 10. I'm assuming it was manufactured by another company and sold under the JC Higgins name...

Do any of you know of a book/dvd/trainer who has taken the time to adapt some martial arts training to address the specific needs of the concealed weapon carrier? I'm thinking less disarming your attacker and more like grappling/fighting with someone while trying to get to a weapon. Maybe the...

I'm looking for a shot timer. I'm new to competitive shooting and currently laid off, so price is an issue. I'd like it to work with my dry fire practice if that's possible. So, what's your recommendation?

I own a CZ SP-01 and about a month ago my good friend shot it for the first time. He was so impressed he went out and ordered one a few days later. Well, he finally got it and yesterday I got to dry fire it. I'm way jealous of his out of the box trigger, much better than mine was. I have about...

First off, how common is it for amateur/newbie guys to shoot both a revolver and a semi in 1 competition? Second, are there any tips or advice for managing the transition between the 2? Say I'm shooting my CZ on one stage and then need to go shoot a stage with my revolver and back and forth...

Who else her trains to defend themselves with something other than a firearm? I've been in martial arts of some sort since I was young, 10 years old or so. Train in brazilian jiu-jitsu currently and have done, boxing, judo, aikido, kick boxing etc... Always had lots of fun doing it and it...

Anybody know of one and where to download. I dont seem to be having any luck.

I was reading a thread on another forum and there was some discussion about one gun being better than another due to it's better trigger. I sometimes feel like I'm one of a very few people who don't really notice much of a difference, in my range accuracy, in a glock, "mush box", trigger and a...
