Hi folks, I'm back seeking knowledge. I went to a sporting goods store today and had the opportunity to look through both the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-4 and the Viper 1-6. Granted, I was inside the store, but I compared both scopes at 1x power and both at 4x power. I didn't take the Viper to 6x...

Ok folks, First, I'd like to thank all those who took time out of their lives to post in my other thread.. I learned a lot, and I mean a lot! Thank you so much, especially to those who made those multi-paragraph lengthy postings that taught me so much that I didn't know before. So without...

I've never taken the butt stock off an AR rifle before. I bought an Armalite AR10 back in 1995 or 96 and it has a normal looking rifle stock on it.. I'd like to replace it with the adjustable stocks. Saw this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__sdRpMboOo Do all the AR's...

I don't plan on doing any reloading at the time, but if I ever did want to reload my own handgun ammo (9mm, 40cal) or my 308 rifle ammo, which black powder should I purchase? And would it work for shotgun ammo too? I'm considering purchasing a supply of the stuff just to have around. Thanks,

Anyone own one of these? My wife is going to be taking a cpl class soon and decided on the Shield 9mm after trying several other models. It fits her hands the best. Anyhow.. something I noticed. When the slide locks back, getting it to release is quite difficult.. You have to use two...

I was just reading an article about rapists and some of the finer details about what they look for in their targets. Tactics and stuff. Part of the article went on to give advice about what a woman should do in certain circumstances. I found one particular piece of advice that I am unsure of...

I found this interesting: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2016/01/16/english-police-officer-hits-detroit-streets/78913254/ As someone who is quite familiar with Detroit, I found this English Police officer's perspective and his experiences quite fascinating. While one...

My wife is going to get her CPL license.. various reasons. We live in the country, she has a job, we have a 3 year old child in the home. We are tying to figure out what other people do with their weapons in such a situation and we're not sure what the most practical and safe solution is...
