    Why do we still like and trust SA revolvers so much?

    While I was commenting on another thread about SA revolvers I was struck by how many of us still would choose them first in a situation that a large magazine capacity and or the ability for a quick reload weren't likely to be needed. Most of the parts of this design were developed in the mid...

    Examples of 2A advocacy that worked

    Okay folks, more than one thread recently has talked about "nothing I'm doing is working", I'm even guilty of it myself. How about we get that out of our system, and start deliberately copying any strategy that is having success? I've had limited success helping people understand that...
