I bought a case of new polymer-coated, steel-cased 9x18mm ammo. It's 100 grain non-corrosive, berdan primed, full metal jacketed. The bullets are almost cone-shaped rather than the standard round (ogive). Check the earlier thread I started asking for experience with this round for picures and...

Hello all, I was at the Hampton gun show this morning and picked up a case of 9x18mm ammo. It is steel cased but was advertised as being coated with a polymer instead of the old green laquer or the copper wash. The casings are coated with a grayish material, which is definitely different from...

I was watching the TV show "Firefly" Friday night, the only show I actually try to watch besides "The Sopranos" and caught a tidbit... at least I thought I did. Friday's episode saw two of the main characters nabbed during an ambush. When the other good guys showed up and found the scene, one...

I'm not sure exactly where this thread should fit but here goes: I was looking at gear for an M1 carbine the other day and was pondering how it would compare to, say, a Hi-Point 9mm carbine. The M1 carbine has been derided as anemic. I have heard of at least one pistol which fires the .30...

I was touring around colonial Williamsburg today and one of our stops was at the Magazine- the round, brick building where the king's firearms and powder were kept. There was a guy outside doing musket drills, actually firing (without the ball, of course). Inside, there was another man in...

Perhaps it is just my perception but it seems like there is a new push on by the democrats for gun control. Is this part of their strategy to push farther to the left so that voters 'hear their message', which, apparently, they didn't in the last election? It seemed the democrats were pretty...

I guess I was due. The trick-or-treaters were gone... it was a couple of minutes past 8:00 p.m. which is the deadline for the kids to go home for the night. I was just sitting down in the living room to relax after the end of a looooooong day when I saw a gaggle of kids coming down the...

I need help getting info on a rifle. It was made in 1941 by the Johnson company(?). It was in competition with the M-1 Garand and lost but not until after the U.S. Marines ordered a thousand copies or so. It had an odd rotary magazine, loaded from the bottom which gave the stock an unusual...

Here is something the VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) has managed here. Naturaly, the local socialist papers are spinning it like tops. Kudos to our own Yankytrash as regional honcho for Tidewater VCDL. Gun idea draws outrage Opponents say parks no place for weapons By Terry...

I am looking for some better grips for a CZ-70. Has anyone replaced theirs, know where I can find some good, comfy ones? Would grips for a CZ-50 or Walther PP fit? Thanks in advance

Can a foreign national buy a gun in California? Was the LAX shooter a citizen or foreign national? If he was NOT an American citizen then where did he get the two pistols? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks in advance Californiacs.

I need some help. What is there that exists between a .38 Special and a .22 magnum? Does anyone make anything which uses the .32 H&R anymore? Any reviews? Any info/ opinions appreciated. BTW this is not for CCW or really for home defense. I am looking for a shootin' pistol for my wife...

Anyone else see CNN's "reporting" on the incident in Afghanistan yesterday? I didn't think CNN could get any more obvious or biased but I think they have acheived a new low. As the story was "breaking" CNN was reporting 200 to 250 civilians dead from an attack by U.S. planes. I flicked over to...

You may remember I posted recently a column from the local rag regarding a self- defense shooting and an op ed piece criticizing a guy for defending himself. Today there was a response from the "author" to the letters he recieved from locals and from, apparently, TFL members who sent him their...

I recently saw a blurb about a company building a LASER pointer the size and shape of the recoil spring guide for a Glock 22. A nifty idea, I thought. If you're going to have one why not install one internally? Anyone seen one/own one/used one? Reviews? Do they exist for other guns? Thanks...

... and he thanked me! :D Okay, I didn't actually give my student ammo but he and his dad were looking for a good supplier for 7.62x54R ammo for a Mosin-Nagant rifle. The kid loves to shoot, is bright, and responsible. I told him about ammoman and a couple of other sites to check on the...

I recently picked up a CZ-70 (.32 ACP). With all the fees I payed just under $120. Today I took it to the range to try it out. My first impression of the CZ-70: If the Walther PP had an ugly sister there she'd be. The one I have is surplus, of course, and shows a good bit of holster wear. I...
